Are people managing to access the LG gig? Lots on Facebook complaining

- The long decision-making processes build a great uncertainty both with us as a company but also with the population, for example, in Jokkmokk and its politicians. It is not good for the development at all, therefore I see the Prime Minister's statement as a good message even though it is difficult to say what it leads to.

The government has just turned to Unesco for clarification on the Kallak issue. How do you look at it?

- It is about the host heritage Laponia and our proximity there. We ourselves have submitted a report earlier that we will update. I also see this as positive. It is good that this is sorted out although I may think the issue from government could have come three four years ago.

The cold project is, and has been, a conflict with hard protests, not least from affected same villages in the area..?

- I am full of understanding that it raises strong feelings and concerns. At the same time, we cannot choose where the ore is located. Finally, the question is whether we should break clean ore in Sweden or import '' dirty ore ". Then we have worse control and jobs disappear, says Sven Otto Littorin and continues:

- Giant LKAB should change its ageing technique, which takes a long time. We are a small company that can do everything right from the start. It's interesting and the issue is politically charged. But I like challenges and I would, preferably of all, like to make Jokkmokk a national center for sustainable and competence-developing mining industry in collaboration with, among others, Luleå technical universities. It would mean a lot to the municipality and create long-term jobs.

Sven Otto Littorin is the newly appointed chairman of Beowulf Mining. He welcomes the Prime Minister's statement on more effective permit processes regarding the mining industry.

It was in connection with LKAB presenting its billion-wide investment in transition for the future that Prime Minister Stefan Löfven promised faster answers to questions about mining and electrical grid permits.

'' Strong initiatives should not fall on the fact that it takes too long ", the prime minister stated among other things.

The statement has aroused mixed emotions. Hats off at the advocates for increased mining in Sweden, thumbs down from the opponents to further exploitation.

Sven Otto Littorin is the new chairman of the board in talked about Beowulf Mining, who since almost 10 years has waited for the government's permission to open mine in Kallak outside Jokkmokk. He looks positively at Löfven's statement and says that this must obviously apply to the whole mining industry, not just LKAB.

That’s the worst presentation I’ve heard Kurt do. He sounded very nervous and disorganised.

Thanks mel5
I’ll keep watching for those rns announcements

I’ve been here since the Armstrong days and so glad I stayed. Is there any indication of when we are likely to be up and running again? It’s very exciting times to be holding amongst all the gloom

Hmmm. Let’s see what Monday’s meeting throws up first

Meeting regarding Kallak continues Monday

I thought so too. From one of the groups

These recommendations are therefore relevant to the protection of Laponia as well. JIMAB has explained that it intends to follow these recommendations and has also explained that it aims to assist and strengthen the Sami reindeer management and culture in establishing the mining business.
The company's assessment of the possibilities to avoid and / or minimize negative consequences for the same villages has been challenged by the same villages and Sametinget. These go as far as to consider that the mining project can even threaten future reindeer maintenance in the Kallak area.

It is understandable that the same villages concerned feel concerned about the proposed and significant industrial project in reindeer pastures. The company is actively working to develop the project in consultation with the same villages in a direction that does not have any negative consequences for reindeer management in the area.

The proposed mining project should not be confused with previous exploitation in the region. Expansion, operation and restoration are planned to take place in continuous dialogue with the same villages and with responsiveness to the unique business that reindeer management is."

Here are the National Antiquarium Office's own words to UNESCO, from 2013:

"The geographical area this application involves is Kallak, situated outside and ca. 30 kilometres south-southeast of the boundary of the "Laponian Area", which means that this activity will not exert any physical impact on the World Heritage property itself. Instead, the question of potential threats is more directed toward its effects on reindeer herding and the Outstanding Universal Values of criterion (iii) and (v)."

And the company's attitude, from 2016:

'' Laponia is a so-called combined world heritage, where both natural and cultural values should be protected. Five criteria (so-called Outstanding Universal Values - OUV) are the basis for the designation of Laponia as a World Heritage Site and it is the OUV to be protected (see box).

The criteria concerning pure natural values (vii, viii & ix above) are not affected by the planned mining operations at Kallak, due to the significant distance from Kallak to Laponia. The planned mining operations are closest, the bird road, 33 km from Laponia, see map Annex 3. The mining operations are not such a nature or extent that it can have an impact at such a distance. Possibly future transportation of ore from the mine would lead to a certain impact in the form of increased traffic on existing road or existing rail, if such a transport option is chosen in the future (see section below).

However, the OUVs related to the culture and nutrition of Nazi (iii and v above) risk being indirectly affected by the activities in Kallak by the fact that the foundation is located on the same village of Jåhkågasskas year roundlands. Clean management is carried out over large and coherent areas and if there is an impact in one area (t. ex. ex. Kallak) could lead to some consequence in other areas (t. ex. ex. Laponia).

Laponia constitutes a reindeer care area for a total of nine same villages: Baste cearru, Treat Tjerusj, Sirges, Jåhkågaska tjiellde, Tuorpon, Luokta-Mávas, Udtja, Slakka and Gällivare. Laponia accounts for about 11 % of the lands of the same villages concerned. The remaining reindeer care areas for these nine same villages occupy a total of about 58 % of Norrbotten's surface, see Figure 1. A possible stop to establish operations outside Laponia, which can indirectly affect the reindeer management and culture of these same villages, means by extension that no new establishments of activities can be accepted within most of Norrbotten's surface.

Ha ha, thanks Andy. You can always be relied upon lol

Morning Suzy - we shall see

I imagine the Swedish shareholding ratio will drop when they finally realise what a corrupt and incompetent government runs the country

I’m sure Andy will enlighten us all shortly

It’s ok replacing your ggp shares with prim ones, but just make sure you’re comfortable with the other assets prim hold. I’ll be staying in ggp

Any idea how many he owns still?

Hi Suzy
Hope you’re well. I’m still waiting patiently for common sense to prevail

Get us a run up to 20p and subtlilla will be frothing at the mouth again

Why the CSP title mr Wiilams?
