e.g.
The graphite factory that a Chinese company wanted to open in Timrå has been temporarily halted for security reasons.

Congratulations team, I still have a few tears in my eyes! As an engineer, I can't tell you how mind boggling cool that booster catch is. My wife just shakes her head and mumbles some religious infused statements.. but I digress. Cheers, SpaceX!!

"Oops – he happened to throw bitcoin worth billions at the dump​

Just over ten years ago, a hard drive with thousands of bitcoins ended up in landfills. Now a British man is waging a desperate battle against his hometown to try to get them back.​

16 October 2024
Some decisions can be regretted for the rest of your life. Just ask James Howells, a computer engineer who lives in the Welsh city of Newport in the UK.
Just over ten years ago, Howells and his then-partner decided to throw away various broken gadgets from his home office. One of the things that went into a black garbage bag was one of several hard drives that collected dust in a desk drawer.

Had 7,500 bitcoin in crypto wallet​

The next day, the partner went to the city's landfill. James Howells didn't think any more about it – but that would change.
As a technology enthusiast, Howells had taken an early interest in the cryptocurrency bitcoin. In a couple of years, his holdings had grown to 7,500 bitcoin. He stored these in a crypto wallet in the form of a hard drive that was in his office.
In the fall of 2013, his digital treasure cache was worth the equivalent of just over $14.6 million. At that time, James Howells began to suspect trouble. What had actually happened to the storage unit that contained all the bitcoins?
To his dismay, Howells discovered that he had accidentally mixed up his hard drives during the deep cleaning. The one with all the bitcoins was no longer at home – but had ended up in the dump, writes The New Yorker .

Must go through 100 tons of rubbish

Since then, James Howells has waged an increasingly desperate battle, trying to convince Newport City Council to dig up the landfill to snoop on the hard drive. According to his own statement, Howells has offered the city to put together a team that can dig through 100 tons of garbage.
He has also promised a juicy ransom: If he gets his way and the storage device is found, the city will pay ten percent of what the crypto coins are worth.
Newport has so far ignored James Howell's repeated applications. Therefore, he has now decided to sue the city for just over SEK 6 billion – a sum that corresponded to the value of SEK 7,500 when the application was submitted.

"The municipality is sitting on my stolen property"​

According to Newport's municipal council, the work would cost at least SEK 135 million and is estimated to take between 18 and 36 months to complete. After the excavation, it would also require at least another year of work to restore the soil on and around the soptation.
"The municipal executive board has made it clear to James Howells several times that the excavation is impossible to carry out. It would also cause a major environmental impact on surrounding areas," says a spokesperson from the city of Newsport in a comment.
But Howells doesn't give up. If the hard drive were to be found, he estimates that there is still an 80 percent chance that the digital coins can be retrieved from it.
"I see it as the municipality has been sitting on my stolen property for ten years," James Howells told The Sun ."

Another friend paid 30 Bitcoins for sausages and coffee at an early community meeting. That's about AUD3000000 today.)
He is still annoyed today.
I'm stuck with Talga and will be for a very long time.

Today is a good day and if you know you know !

I wonder if there will be more buying pressure at the close of day auction or if it's too premature for institutional investors to start accumulating. Yes I want to see some upward movement to at least the 50s and I'm not afraid to ask for it.

...ACC & Verkor very much appear to have a strong desire to use a local supply chain.
I am using your post to link a document about Verkor for the sake of completeness for our archive here. I stumbled across it again.
The statements regarding their graphite supply go far beyond just local supply. They definitely want to use more NG. Maybe that's even necessary to maintain or obtain the Dark green status. Keyword search for graphite in the document.

Hey Semmel!
The bottle Marzemino please!
I have some need to talk.

I'll leave the detailed plan out of this thought, as well as a possible objection from Sami to the concession.
So the project of the first anode factory outside China, with the world-class deposit and the first in Europe, with expressions of interest that go beyond what is feasible, the right product a little late but still at the right time, with two financing commitments from the EU and a value that exceeds the market capitalisation by 220% alone, is largely derisked. We are actually just waiting for the SC decision, without which nothing will work.
And actually nothing is priced in. The ASX shark tank has also rasped the cartilage from Talga's bones. Talga is worth pretty much €100M. A measly 70k was traded here today on all exchanges combined.
So if the SC decision comes in the foreseeable future and it goes up say 55% that day (from memory my record on the ASX in one day), then this can only be the beginning of a very long staircase-like rising, which will actually only end after maybe a fivefold increase, only to be corrected in order to take a fresh breath. Double if the market is not interested. Assuming, of course, that there is no manipulation. Or am I completely blinded by my naivety? I'm not familiar with the whole valuation thing. The week after the SC decision I'll pull out the Talga valuation table. Definitely what I mean, even after a huge jump in SP the entry is still a bargain. It all comes down to the SC decision.
What do you say to that nonsense?

I don't have a source for this. So better in the bar.

‘The authorisation from the Land and Environmental Court will not be the only prerequisite for starting mining. Authorisation is also required, among other things, for a processing concession and land designation by Bergsstaten, as well as for the preparation of a detailed plan for the area by the municipality. The company must then apply for a building permit.’

Hmm I didn't realize the building permit was separate from the detailed plan.

The detailed plan is often more meaningful from Swedish into German with something like ~ area utilisation plan.

@Gvan

"It certainly seems that way, especially when you see posts from figures such as Peter Handley, who led the work on the CRMA:"

Just as an addition:

As far as I know, it was a woman who organised it all. She operated from Berlin and her name is Hildegard Bentele (CDU).
I would like to emphasise her name here.
As far as I know she was the CRMA's institute or it is her idea or baby. She brought it on the way to the vote in Brussels. Handley took care of the practical implementation.
I just wanted to mention her.
