Just thinking about it beings on a poem...well it is Sunday. Roller1 can close his eyes.

When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.

We have heard in recent years news that climate change is making things difficult for the reindeer in Norbotten...lichens are being covered by a new sort of ice, snow that has melted and frozen again and they can't shift it to get their food. Such it has always been for man on this planet...we face difficult circumstances and we have to find solutions and adapt. And I've read of a research project that is devising ways of making lichens grow much faster.....never ceases to amaze me the resourcefulness of mankind, makes you proud doesn't it.

Morning Aug. Well, whatever the truth is Amanda Palmstierna (MPs Mineral Policy Spokesperson) said to DagensIndustri...about this time last year..."The environmental party thinks that the Kallak area is important for the reindeer industry and the Sami culture, here are also very important natural and cultural values. So we don't think this is a suitable place for a mine." I believe she is also reported as saying that the issue should be decided according to the law...question is what law?

Hello Treetop. I think this is pressure...MP in the most recent opinion poll are showing support of 3.8% and L 2.5%, too low to make the qualifying target for seats (4%), whereas the Opposition Parties M and SD have gained since the 2018 election.

Morning Wotitsworth...... 'Soon' means something like 'forthcoming', which we can hope means something that really, really will happen eventually; it is something that will evolve in due course into what we perceive to be Now, but whether or not the situation will be transfigured by it is uncertain. Will we then be able to seize the hour and make hay while the sun shines, who knows?

Things are getting better every day...and they've just got 19 million tons better. Have a happy day everyone, the Sun's going to shine on us later on, I think. :-)

Potential mining life...wow, that's going to have the anti mining activists really worried, we'll have them on here in droves.

Yes, Eric...that's the whole points of a communication, it's on record and that makes it meaningful in my book.

Good...thanks Kurt and All, I'm pleased with all the work done.

Well, KallakRidiculous, I'll second that, by which I mean I agree that we are getting closer and I'd also add the company is making good progress; I'm satisfied with that and the upgrade is very good news, as Eric has already said using a new technique, ten years on, it could have been a downgrade

All these new enquiries don't really have any bearing on why they don't make the decision about Kallak now...the law is enough we're supposed to believe...remember when they tried to make new legislation about the Minerals Policy Law the Riksdag refused to support it. And the Minister is supposed to have said that this UNESCO initiative would complete the decision process. I'm trying to be optimistic... there's continuing political pressure to get this resolved and it can't go on forever, can it.

I meant a cut and paste.

That woman again...if you can't get the link because of the ****, here's a cut and pastye@

to Minister of Trade and Industry Ibrahim Baylan (S)



"For many years, Sweden has been at the top of the international ranking list for mining nations, but has unfortunately lost heavily in recent years. This is due to the increasingly extensive regulatory hassle and the fact that it takes too long to obtain all the necessary permits.

The moderates want a strong mining industry that creates new jobs, that meets the need for critical minerals and that does not give up the environment. Then measures are required for the complicated rules that today surround the mining industry and hamper development.

In view of this, I would like to ask Minister of Trade and Industry Ibrahim Baylan:

What does the Minister intend to take for measures to reduce the regulatory hassle in the mining industry and shorten the decision times so that Sweden does not become dependent on mines in China and Congo-Kinshasa?"

Rule hassle and long decision times

Much appreciated.

Ibjj.. ..I'll give you that one. :-)

Seriously, Ibjj...you're not interested in any debate as Aug pointed out yesterday, you ridicule any who doesn't agree with you. I'm entitled to happy clappy here if I feel happy clappy and I wont ask your permission.

I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't raining very heavily...but I must admit I'm a bit obsessed with this Company, I never post on my other shares, BP for instance can take care of itself...but I've got a lot invested in this one and it's very exciting, so exciting in fact that you're here nearly as much as me and you've got no shares at all. You want it to fail for reasons of personal malice and I want it to succeed for reasons of personal greed...both positions require time, passion and commitment.

Maybe I've got instincts you haven't got.

Ibjj....You said you couldn't watch him any more...you must have watched him...he was great wasn't he, as Hasty said, full of passion and conviction. ;-)

Read my lips...I didn't say I was impressed with what he said I said I liked him...he was good...I can have an opinion about another human being without knowing what they said.
