clearly they want to use LKAB ore from Lulea

https://rail.cc/blog/lulea-narvik-train

Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) is a government owned Swedish mining company. The company mines iron ore at Kiruna and at Malmberget in northern Sweden. The company was established in 1890, and has been 100% state-owned since the 1950s. The iron ore is processed to pellets and sinter fines, which are transported by Iore trains (Malmbanan) to the harbours at Narvik and Luleå and to the steelmill at Luleå (SSAB).

Their production is sold throughout much of the world, with the principal markets being European steel mills, as well as North Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.[2]

LKAB has around 4,000 employees, of which more than 600 are outside of Sweden.[3] There are iron ore mines, processing plants and ore harbors in northern Sweden and Norway, and sales office in Germany. LKAB has subsidiaries for industrial minerals with processing plants in Sweden, Finland, the UK, the Netherlands, Turkey and China. Additional subsidiaries are in Germany, the US and Hong Kong as well as representative offices in Slovakia, Greece, Spain and South Africa.

LKAB's chief assets are among the magnetite orefields of northern Sweden. Its corporate headquarters are in Luleå and the main production sites are in Kiruna (Kiruna Mine) and Malmberget, close to Gällivare. The ore is partially processed on site, and is transported by freight train on Malmbanan to either Narvik or Luleå depending on final destination.

LKAB has been ranked as among the 14th best of 92 oil, gas, and mining companies on indigenous rights and resource extraction in the Arctic.[4]

Giant investment in fossil-free steel production in Boden – 1,500 jobs for Norrbotten
UPDATED FEBRUARY 24, 2021PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 23, 2021
The company H2 Green Steel will build a large-scale plant for fossil-free steel production in Norra Svartbyn outside Boden. Steel production will start already in 2024 – and is expected to create around 1,500 direct jobs in Norrbotten.

The company believes that the steel industry today lacks the prerequisites for a rapid transition to large-scale fossil-free production – and therefore they want to invest in fossil-free steel production in 2024.

"Without competition, this is by far the biggest thing that has happened to Boden since the construction of Boden Fortress in the early 20th century," says Claes Nordmark (S), municipal councillor in Boden.

"It is exciting to continue to be a steel centre when production methods are re-applied. And it is exciting for us to be involved in creating a greener future," says Carina Sammeli (S), municipal councillor in Luleå.

Around 1,500 jobs to Norrbotten
An important source of inspiration for the initiative is the groundbreaking Hybrit project and its founders SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall. The company looks forward to good cooperation with a common ambition to develop Sweden's position as a world leader in fossil-free steelmaking.

"We want to accelerate the transformation of the European steel industry. Electrification was the first step in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the transport sector – the next step is to turn steel in cars and other consumer products green," says Carl-Erik Lagercrantz, Chairman of the Board of H2 Green Steel and Northvolt.

H2GS will create approximately 1,500 direct jobs in Norrbotten. The investment means that Sweden's net export value is estimated to increase by approximately SEK 30 billion.

"The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our time"
The start-up has already recruited a heavy name in the industrial world. Henrik Henriksson, currently CEO of Scania, will lead the company.

"The climate crisis is the biggest challenge of our time – and given the great impact of steel on other industries' journey towards sustainable solutions, a transition is extremely important. H2 Green Steel will be involved in accelerating this important change and making Swedish steel world famous, not only for its quality, but also as the world's greenest steel. It is exciting to be involved from the beginning and build Sweden's next export success," says Henriksson.

By 2030, H2GS will have an annual production capacity of five million tonnes of steel.

"Biggest thing that's happened to Boden"
H2GS and boden municipality have drawn up a letter of intent for the acquisition of the 500 hectare land area in Norra Svartbyn, SIP (Svartbyn industrial park).

"Through the investment in fossil-free green steel, we create a more sustainable society and contribute to the development of our region and we will now gather strength wi

does anyone have todays prices

Also, H2 Green Steel, situated in Norrbotten County, announced a €2.5 billion investment and plans to produce 5 million tonnes of green steel by 2030. It goes without saying, you need high-quality iron ore to manufacture high-quality steel.

"Norrbotten is Sweden's powerhouse, where mining, power, transport, manufacturing and innovation are coming together to deliver a sustainable economic future for the region and Europe. Kallak is part of that future.

"If you can expediently permit steel plants like H2 Green Steel and HYBRIT, you need to treat equally the companies and investors that are developing the mines that will feed them and ensure security of iron ore supply.

"Kallak can produce a 'market leading' concentrate of 71.5 per cent iron content and the Company has invested over SEK 80 million in the project. The investment in building a mine will be billions of SEK and Jokkmokk Municipality needs this economic stimulus.

"The Company has been in communication with UNESCO regarding its review of Kallak and we now wait on their comments to the Government. Since the Constitutional Committee statement last November, political parties outside of Government are taking a greater interest in our case and, with the support of our advisers, we continue to inform and educate on the facts about Kallak and dispel the perceptions that exist.

"Over the last three year, Beowulf has contributed to the OECD's studies on the mining industry in Sweden, including the inclusion of the Sami in regional development in Sweden. The Company is taking the OECD's findings and incorporating them into draft development frameworks for Kallak that we will share with interested parties.

"Since I have been involved with Kallak, the Company has shown nothing but respect to local reindeer herders and we remain committed to safeguarding their traditional livelihoods. We will continue to listen and to learn.

It should play out like that trouble is Sweden's ministers are just as crooked as Trump for example they just do it behind closed doors!

Can anyone post a link to best source of live rare earth prices

Good sign

William Dawes, Chief Executive of Mkango stated: "The start of pilot plant processing is a major milestone for the company and Mkango joins the ranks of the very few rare earths projects that have been advanced to this stage of development. We look forward to announcing results from the pilot plant when available."

"Mkango is uniquely positioned in the rare earths sector with an integrated "mine, refine, recycle" strategy encompassing sustainably sourced rare earths from Malawi, rare earth magnet recycling in the UK, via its interest in HyProMag, and strategic options to develop EU and UK rare earth separation and refining capacity. Rare earth prices have risen significantly over the recent months and the demand outlook is very positive, directly linked to growth in electric vehicles, wind power and other clean technology applications."

Processing and mineralogy are key value drivers for rare earth projects, and pilot test work is an integral part of developing a robust feasibility study and bankable project. The Songwe processing flow sheet has been developed and optimised by leading experts in rare earths processing and comprises flotation of run of mine ore to produce an upgraded mineral concentrate, which is then processed via hydrometallurgy to produce a high grade purified, cerium depleted, mixed rare earth carbonate enriched in neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium.

That will be the game changer JV must be close imo

"This drilling programme is a key part of our work towards expanding the resource base on what is widely considered to be an industry-leading asset. We are now evaluating options to fast track the project to production to take advantage of the increasing demand for lithium and its role in the future growth of stored energy initiatives"

This is the buy of the year imo
