2-day extension granted to form a government.

Based on the evidence, could any politician be described as ‘pro-mining’?

And what fires your enthusiasm?

Thanks AndyDuFresne... I read this on Facebook, and it seemed positive about mining in general. Albeit I used Google Translate. What is your interpretation?

Let’s hope so Suzy2, because that’s the last thing we need

He represents more of the same. We don’t need that... I am actually invested here, and unashamedly want to make money. I’ve no interest in the betterment of lives, or the environment. I want to make money. It’s a skewed priority if you want the incumbent to remain in a coalition that has delayed our application.

And he’ll get in bed with the Greens? Is that what you want?

I like what you did there Suzy, nice switch. But we are no more likely to get a permit in Kosovo, Finland, or anywhere else. That was my point. He should be keeping our powder dry

£250k represents a big chunk of our working capital, better used to fund day to day expenditure in my opinion. As a small exploration company, we can't keep investing in potential, without realising some return on that investment. BEM are just as likely to encounter Political issues in Kosovo as Sweden. Kosovo, just as with Finland, are years away from realisation. KB should focus on the prize, unless of course he has had some form of reassurance. Though I find that unlikely...

Drilling ceased a few years ago because we had demonstrated a commercially viable resource for the purpose of the exploitation application. It’s no secret that there are more tonnes in the ground. It just didn’t make sense at that time spending more on exploration. When we get the permit, it will be full steam ahead developing the mine... Exploration will be an ongoing process from then on...

Wow... Speechless. So some votes are worth more than others?

That’s why it’s taken so long... they are trying to circumvent democracy with a fragile coalition, by shutting out the Swedish Democrats...

Civil servants are holding this up at the behest of politicians. They will eventually get the nod from politicians, and hey presto, the decision is taken. There is little KB can do in my opinion, beyond pressing home the case locally.

The issue is a simple one... The so-called moderates are trying to fudge a government, which in previous elections has not been an issue. However, they are now trying to form a coalition government, but are attempting to do so by ignoring 62 MP’s and 17.53% of the electorate. That is where the problem starts and ends. Like their politics or not, the Sweden Democrats are a significant minority that simply cannot he ignored.

Sooner or later, they will have to bite the bullet, cowboy-up and accept that they have to work with the Sweden Democrats.

Goodpost EricD... about sums up my sentiments.

Typical politicians... obsessed with the internal political process and their own political ideologies. It appears that they are doing everything they can to avoid working with the Sweden Democrats. Not that it matters personally...

I am sure that KB will be visiting Sweden with an agenda, as opposed to tea and biscuits with the local Mayor Treetop! Here's hoping...

The CEO did a 'sweatheart' deal with an established miner and it was de-listed, although I don't recall the full details. A major shareholder was able to swing the vote. The point is, investors did not get fair value, although I apptreciate that BEM do not have a major shareholder.

Thanks googlebot... But I still remained unconvinced that this is the way to go at this juncture. Finding minerals is not the issue, but extracting them is. And a project like this will still be years away. If BEM was cash generative, then it would be an attractive proposition, but at this time, with limited resources, it's a step too far in my opinion.
