Member Info for TheFarEnd

I see TM is visiting Sweden tomorrow to discuss among other things trade. Let's hope she's been briefed about BEM's ongoing woes, you never know we might get a mention.

What's stirred this rebellion? All of a sudden we're going to court, like that will be a quick result, and Suzy's turned into mwilliams41 You gotta laugh.

Thanks for that Mick. It appears to me that the two weeks extra were used to directly reply to BEM's submission. As Bobtree says no actual stand-alone info from the Sami perspective, just wholehearted agreement with the CAB. Seems they are having trouble recruiting new reindeer herders lol, wonder why? Jahkagasska Tjiellde had no comment to make, been pretty vocal on all other Sami aspects. The interesting piece (last paragraph)....In the event that the Government complies with the company�s request to obtain the opinions of the SGU, Mountain State Region and Norrbotten SweMin are requesting Sami village the opportunity to comment on the issue before the case is finally decided. Well, they certainly want the last word as they have here now. I�ve taken my profits and I�m still invested here, I don�t know if this whole process can be described as a tragedy or a farce. One thing I feel confident about is that anybody waiting on a result in the near future will have plenty of time to take a long holiday before any news is forthcoming. GLA.

I will be adding more here at some point in time but held back as I thought the Divi was at risk. Probably missed sub 30 but we'll see. GLA.

tintin, I believe its already proven that KN and KS are joined 'at depth' I think the report read.

Don't know anything about graphite only that it rhymes with s h i t e.....only joking. Its those JUMBO FLAKES that intrigue me, I guess they're the ones we gotta look out for. Somebody posted on hear a few months back he seem to know what he was talking about. Just wondering if he is still about, or anybody care to enlighten us about its potential with BEM in mind.

Horses for courses Onestandoffbtm, at this moment in time Kallak IS the show, Graphene is a side show atm for the next generation of investors, but I don't think I'll be aboard, but each to his own.

In the scheme of things the only relevant project for me is Kallak. Its Kallak that's driving the valuation here. Win or loose with Kallak I'll be gone.

That may be true Gambier but I must say BE M is holding its value very well. It appears the consensus is for an early decision and that is reflected in the Swedish volumes, sadly not here yet. I must say I expected this to drop back even after the last Government request.

"As far as national interest is concerned, minerals do not exist in any other place. What distinguishes this type of business from others is that it is very site-dependent" Quite right Mr Damberg, and as we all know reindeer have legs. I just get the feeling he's positioning himself ready for the inevitable.

Just as well they awarded themselves a national interest for the reindeer industry otherwise I don't think they would have a lot to talk about. With my limited knowledge of these matters to me, it just appeared to repeat itself with a few added comments from people and various departments whose function is in no way connected to mining. The National Heritage Board and the Environmental Protection Agency haven't actually rejected this, it appears to indirectly agree lol. To be expected I suppose. If that's the best they can muster we're home and dry. I might increase my holding before lbjj snaps them all up. Cheers Mick.

The way some peeps are talking on here the scoping study report is somehow going to miraculously increase the size of the resource and as a result, will ridicule the CAB�s 14-year statement, it won�t. It should identify and (amongst other things) provide the following (taken from the SGS site) - Efficient scoping studies and a complete process flowsheet allow you to: Provide bankable proof of your project viability to financiers and stakeholders. Fully understand the characteristics of your ore to build lean efficiencies into your project. Generate higher revenue through improved recovery or operational cost savings. Minimize risk associated with process changes in existing operations. Reduce environmental costs through appropriate design features. The only way to improve the resource size is through further drilling and proved up in the normal way to the next jorc level. That ain�t going to happen until we get approval, and why should it, as we already have an economically proven reserve.

Go for it ed. We're off to Barbados in a couple of weeks, good 4g coverage, roaming charges �6.00 per day and average Wi-Fi speed of 11.1 Mbps, faster if you're on the south or west coast.

Probably most keep tabs on this but anyway..... Kurt just wrote the following on Linkedin Courtesy of Onlyup on Avanza. Back from 121 Mining Investment Conference in Cape Town. The Junior Mining Sector must be in good health, as 121 had attracted c 100 companies compared to 30 companies when I last attended in 2016. Good to share our graphite and base metals exploration work programs, but frustrating to 'sound like a broken record' on permitting Kallak, which really does not help when you are competing for investor attention. Still a successful few days, and lots for the Beowulf team to do in 2018. You see it's not only this BB sounds like a broken record, lo! There really is nothing else to talk about.

You've been super confident here of late SUF and I must say there's nothing wrong with that otherwise why would you be invested here. However if there's one thing I've learnt over the years is, just when you think you've got this investing lark cracked something turns up completely out of the blue and blows all your thoughts, dreams and aspirations right out the water. Saying that I wish you success as I'm also long here and looking to add more.

Just another 685,000 SDR's added since the new year, that makes 58.506% 'over there'

I remember a few years ago now, during the winter and with an agreed pause in drilling(remember) they moved reindeer down onto the Kallak site. At the time a local, posted on Avanza that it was the first time he could remember reindeer being there. Apparently there was not enough food to support them as the Sami had to supplement their natural diet. The thing is with the Sami its very difficult to have any sort of dialogue with them, they just do not want to engage.

The company is requesting that the Government seek the opinion from the Region of Norrbotten on the following questions: ˗ To what extent are there other interests in the region would be able to get the advantages of a future investment in infrastructure such as electrification and upgrading of the Inland banana and investment and strengthening of existing roads ? ˗ To what extent would a future mine to facilitate future investment in infrastructure? ˗ needed the infrastructure investments in the region or county administrative board's opinion, true to a mine only leads to unnecessary economic investment in infrastructure in the region? ˗ At what stage make state decisions on investment in infrastructure and how is the Analysis? And to end.... After this, the government should prepare the company and the Sami villages the opportunity to comment on the issue before the case is finally decided. I'm convinced but I always have been. We will all be right if we live that long :-))

If a decision is forthcoming soon my bet it will be end of Feb beginning March. I'll be in the Caribbean, that's sod's law for you. Its happened to me once before with BEM, three years ago on yet another false dawn I was 30,000ft in the air when the SP took off, just saying.

Cheers AndyDF
