"Politicians in Kiruna bow to the government – complete mining plan​

Updated today 11:27Published today 11:14
A clear majority of members of the Social Democrats in Kiruna believe that the municipality should finalize the detailed plan for a graphite mine outside Vittangi.
In January, the government took the unique decision to force Kiruna Municipality to complete a detailed plan that enables the mine that the company Talga wants to open.
The municipality thus had to choose between completing the plan itself or letting the county administrative board do it at the municipality's expense.

This means the decision​

When the Social Democrats in Kiruna raised the issue at Sunday's members' meeting, an overwhelming majority voted for the first option.

Previously, voices had been raised to allow the municipality to make a selection and send the issue to the county administrative board.

The decision in S means that it will most certainly also be Kiruna Municipality's decision when it comes up for the municipal council. Several of the opposition parties are also in favor of a mine establishment."

Politiker i Kiruna viker sig för regeringen – gör färdigt gruvplan

En klar majoritet av medlemmarna i Socialdemokraterna i Kiruna anser att kommunen ska göra klart detaljplanen för en grafitgruva utanför Vittangi.

What a little coercion can do.) Now they do it themselves, save costs and are suddenly in favour of it.
We can only hope that they work correctly and don't make any mistakes or hurdles (s. LKAB). From memory, the work is already done and just needs to be finalised and approved. I think the plan can be seen on the municipality's website. I think I saw it there.

This is new to me and will remain an assertion until I read it on an official page:

"Now the processing concession and the building permit are legally binding, as is a formal financing decision, Talga said."

Fem svenska projekt utvalda av EU för att säkra kritiska råvaror

LKAB står för tre av totalt fem svenska projekt som EU valt ut som strategiska för att säkra tillgången på kritiska råmaterial. Målet är att starta brytning före 2030. "Vi hade hoppats på fler projekt för Sverige", säger Maria Sunér, vd på Svemin, som varnar för att EU:s tidsplan är i tightaste...

Uhh THAT would be an ideal outcome of CRMA if appeals can not delay legally binding status of court decisions! That would speed up things considerably! Where did you read that? We definitely need more clarity of how to interpret CRMA and it's application on Talgas case specifically.

Follow the link under my post.

"Nu återstår bearbetningskoncession och bygglov i laga kraft, samt ett formellt finansieringsbeslut uppger Talga."

OK! Google translated wrong again. With DeepL:
"What remains is a processing licence and a legally valid building permit, as well as a formal financing decision," says Talga.

Swedish and German are relatively similar. So I translated with DeepL first into German an then into English:
"What is still missing is a processing licence and a legally valid building permit as well as a formal financing decision," says Talga."

Gives more sense to me.)

So...
Please excuse

 

[Semmel]

Too bad.. but good that it's clarified

 

[cosors]

In my view, being declared as strategic project in a green investment field means directly following the financial path defined by the EU Taxonomy .)

 

[cosors]

No, but...

Just for the files and for info.
I think Talga already mentioned it:


27.03.2025

Permit allows 125,000 tonnes ore extracted pa.
125,000t at 20%, or 100,000t at 25%, = 25,000t graphite pa on average depending or actual realised grade and extraction rate. This yields 19,500t AAM after processing.

Production numbers here are as expected, no more no less.

Äntligen finns det något att läsa igen.
At last there's something to read again.
Zumindest gibt es wieder etwas zu lesen.

For me as a German, it's funny how easy it is to understand the rough meaning of Swedish. And here I find it remarkable how close Swedish is to English, where I'm actually used to being close to Swedish. In this translation, the German is faraway/weg/way from the English. Interesting.

at least romance languages...
there is no Aussie translation

At least there's some reading to be done, mate.

In positive news I’ve received an update regarding our case that ‘If no unforeseen circumstances occur, a decision in the matter can be expected within the coming month.’

This calendar week, the agenda of the Government Chancellery has the following item:

"Appeal against the decision of the Chief Mining Inspector under the Minerals Act (1991:45) to grant an exploitation concession for the area Nunasvaara Södra K No 1 in Kiruna Municipality, Norrbotten County

Government case number: I:9 - File number: KN2024/02556 - Responsible official: M. Å. - Ministry of Climate and Business Affairs"

I suspect that one or the other employee is completely dizzy in view of the average processing time, as this case must seem like the speed of light to them.

When in doubt, I always recommend and I mean always DeepL.
Google makes way too many mistakes, regardless of where you found it.
DeepL is top notch.
