Nope. Hopefully Talga were told on Thursday swedish time so it's announced Friday.
But Friday in Sweden is a public holiday so next chance they would tell talga would be Monday swedish time, so Tuesday Aus time would be next earliest chance for announcement.
Corpus cristi is also on Sunday, another public holiday I believe. I don't think they get Monday off for that, but the people responsible for notifying of the results could decide to have a long weekend, meaning we may need to wait even longer

Examination
Before the municipality can make a decision on the adoption of a detailed plan, the plan proposal must be made available for review. The review period runs from 11 June to 14 July 2025.
Why is there an audit?
When a draft detailed plan has been subject to consultation and the municipality has processed it based on the information and comments received, the draft plan shall be available for review prior to a decision on adoption. The purpose of the review is to present the revised draft plan that the municipality intends to adopt and at the same time give affected stakeholders a final opportunity to submit comments. It is important that you submit any comments you may have during the review stage, as otherwise you will lose the right to appeal later.
Planning documents
All documents related to the detailed plan are available in their entirety at the City Hall and on Kiruna Municipality's website: www.kiruna.se/stenbrottet
If you would like the documents sent to you, you can contact Ann-Sofie Haapalahti on telephone number 0980-756 15 or via email: plan@kiruna.se
Disclosures
Information about the detailed plan is provided by Mona Mattsson Kauppi, by email mona.mattsson-kauppi@kiruna.se or telephone 0980-701 79 or Monika Paleckaityte, tel: 0980-755 64 or email: monika.paleckaityte@kiruna.se.
Don't forget that as a property owner, you should inform your potential tenants about the ongoing review.
Comments on the plan proposal must be submitted in writing no later than July 14, 2025 to: Municipal Board, 981 85 Kiruna or to registrator@kiruna.se
Write your name and address clearly and mark the statement "Detailed Quarry Plan 2:1" and register number 2020-01188.
Anyone who has not submitted written comments by the review stage may lose the right to appeal the decision to adopt the plan.
Timetable
Review: June - July 2025 Adoption: September 29, 2025 Entry into force: three weeks after adoption

Plan enters force after 3 weeks IF there are no appeals. All appeals have to be heard before construction can start, does not enter force if any matters outstanding.
Full timeline: Appeals deadline 20th October 2025
Appeals go to the Supreme Court and recent experience tells you how long that process is. Construction start mid 2026 earliest. Full production by 2029 if they’re lucky. What a joke.
Entry into force THREE WEEKS after adoption!
Fk me what is it with this country and not wanting to do things even when they've made decisions to do things....
Not sure how much the CRMA will speed up the overall process from dirt to production for new entrants but right now the delays are shaping up to be a pretty good barrier against entry to mining in Sweden.
It's all about discouraging new entry.
Still the exploitation appeal decision must be getting close.
No doubt the draft detailed plan will be appealed. Should be the last hurdle.
I am in for the long haul.

If anyone is interested in reading 31 pages to understand the Government's decision - please find attached. Feel free to save it to your desktop before I take it down so this site doesn't come up in any future searches . I have no doubt that we'll have to jump through the same hoops (and more) during the expansion phases and I’m also sure that Talga will leverage off this decision moving forward (lessons learnt).

Thank you very much Vigdorian!
I have actually ~read it. Over the years I've become a bit practised at skimming over things we already know or such things.
Here are my brief notes. Both Sami have spoken for them. Some of the arguments seem confused and contradictory. For example, the demand to cancel the concession is made first, for well-known reasons, and then additional demands are made in the next paragraph for this very permit. The main argument is the one vs. four mines issue, which is why the court's decision is wrong for them. Then comes a lot of tearjerking (?).
Essentially, the government says that it's not their place to decide and their argument misses the point, that it's all covered by law. Talga rejects the additional claims and agrees with the authority's assessment.
There are no designated national interests for reindeer herding in the activity area. However, areas and migration routes designated as of national interest for reindeer herding by the T. Sami and G. Sami villages, which could be affected by the planned activities within the licence area, are located south and west of the reindeer herding activity area.
The conditions are sufficient.
Reindeer herding is not jeopardised.
Talga consults with the Sami and reports Bregsstaten statuses within two months. And the familiar pause. All additional demands are rejected by the Bergsstaten, government and Talga.
In summary, the government is of the opinion that nothing has arisen in the case other than that the conditions for granting a mining licence for the Nunasvaara Södra IN No. 1 area have been met. The submissions of G. Sameby and T. Sameby do not give rise to a different assessment. The appeals must therefore be dismissed.
Hammer down and out.
