I like your optimism tintin, I wonder if the SP will rise as we approach the 5th.

3.5 The combined expertise is thus united. Most experts, County Board, the Sami Parliament, and, indirectly, the National Heritage Board and the Environmental Protection Agency, all reject the company's application for a mining concession. This would be crucial for the government's decision. Jokkmokk February 2, 2018 Lisa L�nta Charlotta Cederberg

3.2 the Board is the state agency that has the best condition to assess the mining table, the impact on reindeer herding, riksintressenas compatibility, which end area is most suited for and which national importance to be given preference. 3.3 Even Sami Parliament, which authority has extensive knowledge of reindeer husbandry as such and the relevant reindeer herding in the area, and among other things is to ensure that the public interest in reindeer preserved for the future, has determined that a mining concession can not be granted. Sami Parliament believes, like the County Board, a mining establishment in the area will be significantly hinder reindeer herding operation and that national interests are not compatible and that the national interest reindeer will be given preference. The Sami Parliament has determined that a mining establishment will cause the reindeer and the Sami industries will eventually disappear from Jokkmokk municipality which is not consistent with the applicable law. 3.4 Subject World Heritage Laponia has Riksantikvarie�mbetet and EPA expressed strong concerns at a mining establishment. The stated authorities have assessed that the mining table, the impact on reindeer husbandry is probably larger than what the company states in its documentation and identified a number of deficiencies and inaccuracies in the company's accounts such as S�mi villages versus Laponia borders, the absence of a landscape perspective, and more. Their joint opinion states the need to look outside Laponia formal borders and assess the prospects for continued management of the area may be affected by an establishment outside the border. The authorities have also taken the view that the national interest reindeer husbandry is of great importance for the world heritage values and to continue reindeer husbandry is of crucial importance to world heritage integrity and authenticity. Sami village would like to point out that the nomadism which today characterizes the area would not be able to proceed at a mining establishment and the customary practices in the area would be for all time 4 (5) change. The bottom line is that the Sami village reindeer, as part of the year is in Swedish Lapland, also has year-round and winter grazing lands in and around Kallak. If the current land area in and around the Kallak not be used by Sami village of bait, collections, relocation and more threatened Sami village of collapse which also affect the world heritage basedon a live reindeer herding culture. This view is expressed by the National Heritage Board and the Environmental Protection Agency's speech to reindeer husbandry is of great importance for the world heritage values and to continue reindeer husbandry is of crucial importance to world heritage integrity and authenticity. Although County Administration expressing concern for the world heritage existence at a mining establishment.

2:10 The County Administrative Board also found to be Sweden's international commitments taken into account in an assessment of the national interest to be given preference ininterests. balancing The County Board has thus noted that the World Heritage Convention should be given due weight, which among other things includes the mining table, the impact on the World Heritage Laponia. Sami village would for this reason emphasize that reindeer herding as a cultural practice raises a number of international conventions to which Sweden is bound. The right to operate and maintain reindeer protected in particular in Article 27 of the ICCPR. Sami village refers in this respect to its opinion to the Mining Inspectorate of 30 August 2013. Sweden's international commitments, and in particular Article 27 of the ICCPR is as Sami village's view such a strong protection for reindeer herding as a cultural practice that can not be allowed driven out by a mining establishment. This provides a further reason for the national interests of reindeer will prevail over the national interest of valuable substances and materials in a balance under Chapter 3. � 10 MB. 3 A unanimous EXPERTISE 3.1 In light of the applicable law as well as the inside and in the relative near the concession area are a number of areas and features 3 (5) designated as being of national interest herding the board has determined that the reindeer will be significantly hampered by the applied mining establishment , the national interests of the reindeer industry and the national interest for deposits of substances or materials are incompatible and that the national interests of reindeer will be given preference. This assessment is supported by the majority of experts experts: Per Sandstr�m, MSc, Department of Forest Resource Management, SLU, Ume�, Dr. Anna Skarin, Department of Animal Nutrition and Management (Division for Reindeer Husbandry), SLU, Uppsala and Prof. Birgitta �hman, Department of Animal Nutrition and Management (Division for Reindeer Husbandry) SLU, Uppsala, see Annex 2 to the Sami village's opinion to the Mining Inspectorate of 30 August 2013.

2.5 The County Board has also considered that the concession area and the area of influence to significantlyaffect most areas of national interest for reindeer herding. The planned mining operation will involve losses for sameby vital national interest and protected functions, such as functions associated and removable joints. Furthermore, the pastures are affected ina suchtangible way to sameby danger of being lost at a mining establishment. This may not only important consequences for the individual reindeer members but also for the Sami habitats in general and reindeer as a public interest. 2.6 The specified functions and pastures are consistently identified as a national interest for reindeer herding. This while only area is an area that is designated as a national interest for deposits of substances or materials under Chapter 3. 7 � 2. MB. This designation has also been questioned by both the Administrative Board of the National Housing Board. Sami village will return to this below. 2.7 Administrative Board finds that the national interest that exists for the reindeer industry and the national interest that exists for deposits of substances or materials are incompatible in the meaning of Chapter 3. � 10 MB. A mining establishment displaces reindeer from the area and parts sameby in two without functional relationship. 2 (5) 2.8 Chap. 3 � 10 MB, preference will be given to the purpose or purposes as the most appropriateto waypromote long-term management of land, water and the physical environment in general. Reindeer husbandry has been in the area since ancient times and is expected tocontinue as long in the future, if it is not knocked out of the currently planned mining establishment. It must also, by the inquiry before been shown in the case considered undisputed that the reindeer in the Sami village will be lost at a mining establishment,while iron ore still to be found in established iron ore mines with existing infrastructure. Of importance is also, as stated above, that the area is of national interest protected for most functions within the reindeer but only an area is designated as riksinstresse under Chapter 3. � 7 MB. 2.9 In light of this, it is at such a balance is considered undisputed that reindeer husbandry is the purpose for which appropriate manner conducive to long-term management of land, water and the physical environment in general. Reindeer herding is therefore, in themanner County Board made, given preference. One such application also complies with the beam's opening in Chapter 1. � 1 MB and Chapter 3. � 1 MB and the assessment applies whether the mine's potential benefits to society.

Ministry of Government may be made only by e-mail susanne.adlercreutz@regeringskansliet.se and naringsdepartementet.registrator@regeringskansliet.se OPINION on the application for a mining concession, Kallak NO. 1 In Jokkmokk Case No. N2017-04553-FOF as Agents for J�hk�gasska Tjiellde ( "Sami village") and on the occasion of the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten County ( "Administrative Board") opinion on the matter November 30, 2017, we hereby make the following. 1 sameby SETTING 1.1 sameby parts County Administrative Board's opinion that the application for a mining concession shall not be granted, and agree with the County Administrative Board stated,inter alia, the impact on reindeer husbandry, Swedish Lapland and in terms of national interest balance. 1.2 Each district believes that the County Administrative Board's assessment is well founded and in accordance with applicable law and the legislator's intentions, why the government should put the County Administrative Board's opinion the basis for its decision. 2 County Administration OPINION 2.1 The board has at its application environment of the beam ( "MB") and on examination under Chapter 3. refers in particular to the Govt. 1985/86: 3, which states that: "national interest herding should be seen in a landscape perspective because it is a protection for areas with different purposes, which must be related to the whole to function, so-called functional relationships. This means that there must be basic conditions for the reindeer industry in virtually every sameby, namely secure access to such areas KUNGSTORGET 2, SE-411 17 GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, +46 (0) 31-107600, INFO@FRONT.LAW, WWW.FRONT.LAW 3108547.2.0111 in both season areas and winter pastures that are crucial for theprospects of reindeer herding. " 2.2 The board has therefore put emphasis on the functional relationships that must exist in reindeer husbandry. The board has also considered that the above preliminary work also shows that reindeer husbandry is a prerequisite for the Sami culture and the national interest protection of the reindeer were added because of the reindeer difficulties to assert itself against the powerful development interests in the reindeer herding area. 2.3 Reindeer husbandry is not only a trade or business, but it is culturally significant. Each district would refer in this respect to the Sami village's opinion of 30 August 2013, which the Sami village explained how reindeer herding culture-bearing function raises questions of constitutional rights and Sweden's international commitments. 2.4 In addition, the board has taken account of the site for sameby - to constitute a core region comprising functional connection for reindeer with multifunctional features. This account is in good agreement with the above driver stain statements of special protection areas. County Administrative Board's assessment is thu

it's the way you tell em

Can't argue with that ibjj. Would be good to see if Kurt will request a deadline from them and play their game...give them 3 weeks to decide :)

And the rest: "We who work for investment and more jobs in Jokkmokk believe that if the county administrative board and the National Board of Riksdag can advise, a wet blanket will be placed on all investments in the country. It will have serious consequences for Jokkmokk and other municipalities, "says Bernhardsson. Oranges for the World Heritage Site are not only close, but what consequences does a mine have for reindeer husbandry? - Yes, and our assessment is that it will be carefully investigated. But we believe that reindeer husbandry is also dependent on more industries and more professionals in Jokkmokk in the future. We see that we will have a shortage of occupational working age in the future and in order to be able to cope with school and welfare we need to move in. There we think the mine can be a part, "says Bernhardsson. In its previous opinion, the municipality took the position of a mining company. Now the municipality writes: "Our starting point is that renn�ringen can coexist with mining, even in Jokkmokks municipality. We estimate that constructive talks between stakeholders can be implemented and create opportunities for coexistence for Jokkmokks future." And further: "A mining facility in Kallak means that less than one mill of Jokkmokks municipality's surface is used for an establishment that generates 100's of work. Within our municipality, Sk�ne County, Halland County and Blekinge County are together. A mining operation in Kallak would in comparison with Greater Stockholm, correspond to more than 120,000 jobs.

Nice one, thanks!

Andy, no they didn't, read the RNS again..."it seems as though this process is never ending"

"it seems as though this process is never ending"

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

granite, I said I am willing to listen, not follow advice. You're right about the UKOG board, stopped reading most of that cr@p a long time ago, a few decent poster on there though.

granite, the abuse is uncalled for, I don't recall ibjj throwing anything your way. I disagree, I am willing to listen to anyone who takes the time to post their opinion on here, invested or not. ibjj was invested and has said many times that he would buy back in if the concession was awarded so he has as much right to post here as those with the rosy view imo.

Spot on sir.

Depends on your view of what useful comments are. You could argue that repeated posts such as "patience" and "what's another 3 months" are not very useful.

"It's not that many questions and doesn't take a lot of analysis to answer so I don't imagine it would take too long to submit/reply, the questions/answers" Come on FFS, we have been through this so many times now, time to get real. If indeed the Government do ask the questions we will be lucky to see a decision before summer in my opinion.

Latest what? The 23 page doc from BEM most people haven't seen, so that is the latest to discuss.

you could be waiting a long time before you go on your hols mate: "5 Concluding comments 5.1 Proposal for the handling of the case the company is requesting that the government sets the following questions to the SGU, Mountain State, Region and Norrbotten Svemin, to bring the issue of assessment under Chapters 3 and 4. environment balanced beam illuminated."
