When was it that she said that, was it last January...in which case we've had a vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, winter solstice and another vernal equinox...that should do it I think. atb

Aug...And weeks not months (in a sort of cosmic sense). Lol

My turn next, Aug....13 April 2018 :-)

Thanks Andy, that's all very interesting about graphene, what an amazingly adaptable substance it is...and being able to detect a disease in 10 minutes. The world never fails to astonish, I'm still awed when I switch on the light...gosh, wow!

Eric....Kapow!!!

For anyone whose interested in what you can do with the stuff when you've dug it out....nickel makes stainless steel easier to weld, chromium is the anti rust ingredient.

I think Archelon is state owned.

From memory about the NM case, the nickel makes Sweden self-sufficient in an important component of stainless steel and that gave its ANI unshakeable status. Let's hope the economic benefit to Jokkmokk, the Inlandesban and the Port does it for us

When they sold their exploitation concession to Archelon...was that what they said, never, never again will we go looking for minerals in Sweden... and they changed direction to debt collecting, a sure and certain way. :-(

Don't agree with that Mwilliams... that is can't be a No at this stage but it can in the next stage... .I think it can be a No at this stage but unlikely to be a No at the Environmental Court Stage because that is a process which can be worked out whereas this is the actual decision to grant a 25 year licence to exploit the resource. In other words this is the sharp end. And perhaps you could explain at which point in the process so far was the Rubicon crossed that means it can't be a No? If I were to venture a guess, I'd say it was when the MI referred it to the government with their recommendation that it fulfilled all the requirements necessary for a concession. Arguing with myself here, I think but it's easy to lose the plot in this dark thicket.

Mr Damberg knows the reindeer have something the iron doesn't have and that is legs. ;-)

There's no date on that summary and I'm presuming this is about Nickel Mountain's project at Ronnbacken, which received it's exploitation concession in June 2010 and which was opposed by the Sami village of Vapsten but they were not given leave to appeal. A judicial review followed in accordance with Sweden's obligations under the European Convention of Human Rights and I don't know what was the result of that.maybe it's still ongoing!

Couldn't load the link but I thought that ruling was a couple of years ago....if it was it would be interesting to see what if any effects the building operation has had on the herding business.

Lol Morning All.

You're turn next. Sorry Ironmonkey, you're out. And the world turns again, this time up a bit. PS Thanks for the tune, smashing, really enjoyed it.

The point is, Ibjj...the way I look at it....."The whole story was captured on film".

Ibjj...You keep saying that........why are you so bothered and who are you trying to convince. You're wasting your time, we're all on ironbrew.

Never thought of that...just shows what a lot of options there are when a bit of creative thinking is brought to bear on the situation.

Andy...Good, very good...the law is enough

Eric, I shall be crossing the Tamar tomorrow (in the other direction :-) ...will blow a kiss for you. On we go then...one and all.
