- It has been incorrectly reported that we would sue the Swedish government. All alternatives are still on the table, but at today's board meeting we have decided not to sue the government at the moment, says Beowulf's CEO Kurt Budge.
I love it how he says..."at the moment" GLA

Sorry to hear that Geovanni, well done on Condor Gold. Hold tight here and hopefully we will rise to a point where you can feel slightly less bitter (for search of a better word) towards this share after such a great loss. I don't think we will reach the kind of break even high your looking for but by the sounds of it you've broke even already by diversifying your portfolio. GLA

Very good website and always releases the RNS immediately.
RNS just landed in my inbox. Very happy with the comments from Kurt regarding the report, "forthcoming" hopefully will have some meaning now. The only thing I hold hope for is a time/date for a decision rather than "forthcoming". GLA
Eric,sometimes I need things done for me, that's what Ive done here for other people. If you don't want to read my translation you don't have to. You can ignore it and do it yourself later/now as can everyone else. If others are feeling a bit lazy this morning then I've done them a favour. ATB
that the case is in the meantime subject to continuous and relevant preparation
measures. In addition, as the committee has previously emphasized, the procedure requires
of complex administrative matters an efficient and effective organization.
In the present case, no visible administrative measures were taken during one
5 period of almost three years. According to the committee, this means an extension of time that does not
is acceptable.
The material also shows that the applicant applied on several occasions
contact with the Ministry of Trade and Industry with a request to develop their case
at a meeting, but that the ministry has then stated that a meeting is not possible
10 because the question concerns a forthcoming government decision and a matter under
processing. The committee can state that the Prime Minister during the hearing in
another review matter (section 3.4) to the committee stated that as a party
have the opportunity to present their opinion orally, so that everyone will
treated equally. The committee can state that the ministry management's message to
15 representatives of the company in question on the issue of the possibilities for a meeting
thus does not appear to be in line with the approach taken by the Prime Minister
indicates and that there thus seems to be a lack of a common approach within
The Government Offices to the possibility for parties in administrative matters to obtain
hold a meeting with the responsible ministry.

Finally, it is stated that in addition to the principles provided by the Public Administration Act
expression - that a case should be handled so simply, quickly and costly
as efficiently as possible without compromising legal certainty - in the Ministry of Trade
there is no specific objective in terms of processing time

meet the requirement for expeditious and legally secure processing includes that
another administrator was hired in June 2018 at the unit responsible for
i.a. administrative matters relating to mineral issues to strengthen the unit.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry also regularly monitors the number of open cases

regular training for employees in e.g. case management and
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act.
The committee's position
The Committee has on several previous occasions emphasized the importance of
In administrative matters is not delayed unnecessarily. Long processing
times pose risks to legal certainty and mean that individuals may be affected
both financial and personal losses.
When the government handles and decides on administrative matters, it is central
that administrative law principles are upheld. Although the matter is
