Kallak Update
Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company, has learnt that the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation (the "Ministry"), in a submission to the Constitutional Committee, which is reviewing the Swedish Government's handling of the Company's application for an Exploitation Concession (the "Concession") for Kallak North, has suggested that the 'the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ("UNESCO") should be given the opportunity to assess whether the activities in question [the Kallak Iron Ore Project] have an impact on the world heritage of Laponia'.
The Company has written to the Ministry and made the following points:
· Over four years ago, in July 2016, when the Company was providing further information on the perceived impact of Kallak on Laponia, there were 1,052 UNESCO sites, including 814 cultural, 203 natural, and 35 mixed properties, in 165 states.
At that time, to the Company's knowledge, there had only been two sites which had lost their UNESCO World Heritage status:
o An Oryx Sanctuary in Oman, where the government reduced its size by 90 per cent for oil development. The result of which decimated the Oryx population through habitat loss and poaching; and
o The Dresden Elbe Valley. A picturesque City in Germany had a large modern transport bridge built through its middle and crossing the valley.
It is the Company's understanding that World Heritage sites may lose their designation when the UNESCO World Heritage Committee determines that the designated site is not properly managed or protected.
First, however, the Committee would place a site it is concerned about on its list of 'World Heritage in Danger' and attempt to negotiate with the local authorities to remedy the situation. If remediation fails, the Committee then revokes its designation.
Today, there are 53 entries on the List of World Heritage in Danger https://whc.unesco.org/en/danger/. Laponia has never been on the list.
· The total area of Laponia is about 9,400 square kilometres and in 2016 it was the world's largest unmodified nature area to be still cultured by natives - the natives in this case being the Sami reindeer herders.
Kallak is approximately 34 kilometres outside o
