Interesting update from the Swedish Mining Inspectorate:
"Today, February 11, 2026, the Swedish Mining Authority is launching a new e-service to facilitate the application process for exploration permits and mining concessions. The aim is to streamline the handling of cases, increase transparency in processes and simplify things for prospectors.
Together with the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU), the Swedish Mining Authority has developed improved system support with functionality that, among other things, enables prospectors to apply for permits digitally. The initiative has a clear connection to the government's goal of more mines in Sweden and makes it easier for prospectors and other stakeholders to use already collected data.
– It's great to now be able to launch the first version of our e-service aimed at those who conduct exploration in Sweden. This is an important step in our work to streamline the handling of cases, increase transparency in our processes and simplify things for prospectors, says mining manager Helena Kjellson."
In particular "the government's goal of more mines in Sweden" caught my eye!
