Morning Eric. Hope you don't mind if I go off topic and wish everyone Happy Easter. The World is an unhappy place at the moment but we can always hope for better times, hope is a virtue. And I agree it's not our job to formulate a plan here, it's Ed's job.

Best wishes. x

PS And it isn't 100% correct to say EB is my beloved CEO, I've never had any communication with him at all, written or spoken...I do believe he's doing his best, as he should because that's what he's paid for and whether he has achieved anything or not still remains to be seen. Times are tough in all manner of ways.

Good Afternoon Ibjj. I have never doubted your right to express your view of this company and it isn't 100% correct of you to say I'm attempting to censure your opinion...I'm not, but I am expressing my opinion that you haven't always been right 100% as you claim and your tone is to ridicule those people who are still invested here, which isn't that nice. You don't have to be nice, that's OK and neither do I.

It's a bit mystifying...the passionate interest in this share of persons who claim they haven't owned any for years and their desire to be 100% in their prognostications. "Can't say no wont say yes", a blast from the past...not at all correct and a missed chance for a profit; so some sour grapes in the mix it seems.

First time I ever read Jesus H Christ before...interesting history, American in origin according to Wikki. But I agree with Unclemal, it adds up to get a life, how many times can someone say, it's over. :-)

Could the answer to that be that the pipeline study will exceed the requirements of the EIA.

Morning All..Yes, I'm liking your optimism Gruvgunnar but could I just point out something in text which hasn't I suspect translated correctly and I've noticed this tendency in the negative before: I'm sure you mean two EIA's with a high chance of reaching approval, high chance, low risk. Cheers.

Thanks, yes...pipeline study will exceed the requirements of the EIA. Good, anticipated at least.

In what sense is the EIA a process? For instance, could planning permission be gained during the 'process'?

But AI can't think...as I've said already, it's lies, damn lies and statistics.

Maddog....There's no answer to that.

Morning Pocko...yes. Can't think of a time we ever got any recognition though for being engaged in something good for the Nordic region and it seems to me a great breakthrough.

That has to be good news...and I can't agree with Maddog that it puts back building the mine...what does Gruvgunnar think?

PS And those are the facts...which reminds me that there are lies, damn lies and statistics. :-)

Pocko... you've set out your take on it and I've set out mine. The management have indeed been handsomely rewarded...rewarded for persistance or failure; personally I tend to be a cup half full person, but again my opinion only and no offence taken at yours.

And what are they...the historical and human failings of this Company? They persisted after eleven long years (at least) in getting the Government to grant an Exploitation Licence, which the Government's Mining Strategy Document claimed would take about one year. A major criticism was that they should have had a plan when that was eventually granted, investors probably expected a partner to be waiting in the wings. But and a very big but was that everyone knew the decision could be appealed...and uncertainty is the worst possible thing for investors. That it took The Supreme Court two years to deal with that Appeal was pretty astonishing in the light of all work the Company had done and much more than they expected to do to effect the decision. It was a political stitch up and it's suprising that the Company managed to weather it but they have..so far. Investors got bored and fed up with it. That's my take ...I know there are other opinions...we make our own decisions.

Yes, of course it is...the financial implications...I'm hoping they pull it off because I've got a lot of shares....not having any shares is a different position.

So...just having another look..."The Business Finland project team commended the loan application and recommended that, following resolution of the eligibility criteria, Grafintec reapply for the Research, Development and Piloting loan scheme which is the Board's intention. It is also anticipated that Business Finland will launch a similar tax credit in the current year although this has not yet been confirmed nor the details published. Since the time of its initial application, the Company has continued to advance its plans for the pilot testing phase for the GAMP and is confident that it can address the eligibility criteria and submit an enhanced application in the coming months."

Sounds OK, and promising.

Morning Maddog...Thanks for the tip which I have to resist because I need some new windows and they're going to cost a lot. Good luck with it.

Yes, indeed...that's the way the cookie crumbles in the finance world. That speech from Macron ...he ephasised the desperate need for private investment in our industries....the Swedish Government so far has done plenty to obstruct us but precious little to help.
