You are primarily the reason (along with a couple of other posters) as to why I hunt for any nuggets on HC as part of DD. Much appreciated you posting here too. You'll potentially save me time and sanity by not reading posts about about war, NATO, Ukraine; MT shorting stocks or having secret TLG meetings and people exerting FUD with an investment timeline of 1 year without having read any DFS or ANNs in detail.

I didn't even realise it at the time I posted it:"This week's brawl: The bath house builders in the banana republic against untalented battery bosses
Easter week is a lot about reconciliation, but that was not noticed in P4 Norrbotten's coverage of the latest tours around the Australian mining company Talga's planned graphite mine in Vittangi.
After Kiruna's left-wing majority in a council decision stopped the planning process, the Moderates' group leader in the Riksdag, Mattias Karlsson, brought out the heavy artillery.
He likened the municipal councilor Mats Taaveniku (S) to a "mafia boss" and the municipal management to a "banana republic", and said that Kiruna is conducting "pure blackmail" against the company in order to usurp benefits.
Karlsson also mocks the municipality for financial incompetence – a billion-dollar investment in a bathhouse is mentioned – and concludes:
- The question is whether Kiruna should not be forcibly managed.
In his argumentation, Taaveniku has pointed out that great natural values can be lost, and that Kiruna must get something back for all the "welfare" it provides the rest of the country with. He calls the M attack "an unusually untalented statement" that "borders on slander."
The project sows division among the Social Democrats in Norrbotten County. According to Norrbottens-Kuriren, Luleå's municipal councilor Carina Sammeli and county chairman Fredrik Lundh Sammeli do not want to take a clear position yet - "but at the same time express a concern that the industrial project will end up in limbo".
Since the Land and Environment High Court has given the mining venture the green light, the government can run over Kiruna if it wants to. And labor market minister Johan Pehrson (L) was clearly on the side of Tidö colleague Karlsson already when he inaugurated Talga's battery anode factory in Luleå last year.
- We should not be shy about mines. The S-led government in Kiruna is embarrassing itself."

Hi!
Would you translate this headline as you understand it? Google and DeepL diverge strongly here. My main concern is the meaning of begåvningssvaga.
"Veckans bråk: Badhusbyggarna i bananrepubliken mot begåvningssvaga batteribossar"
I think I have to correct the translated headline above. But I don't know how. I hadn't really paid attention to the headline originally, but went straight to the content of the article.
Depending on whether I translate with Google or DeepL or just partially, the result is always different. Most of the time, however, it reads like a direct insult.
I know language is very tricky, so I'm asking for your help.

I find that interesting:
In parallel, Talga continues to progress Stage 2 expansion plans beyond the initial project towards 100,000tpa Talnode®-C production, as supported by the Niska Scoping Study (ASX:TLG 7 December 2020) with a view to potential earlier and larger scale outputs.

I, too, like that. But the pace will be determined by what they can get through the courts. And whether the mine requires more or less than 10 iterations of contracts for power and services.

"Kiruna is doing the right thing
Editorial Mining companies are expected to pay for the wealth they extract from the ground through their employees' salaries. Which the municipality can tax. That model no longer works.
What's in it for us?
That's the question people living in the areas around the village of Vittangi in Norrbotten have been asking since it became known that the Australian mining company Talga is planning to open a coal mine in the Nunasvaara area. The area where Talga has been test drilling is upstream from Vittangi, a few kilometres from the mighty Torne River, one of Sweden's national rivers, which flows past there on its way to the Gulf of Bothnia. Here, Talga wants to open a giant open-cast mine, extracting 100 000 tonnes of graphite ore every year for 25 years. In return, the company promises to employ around 60 people.
The deal is this: mining companies pay nothing for what they extract in return for creating jobs on site. Despite the fact that the ore extracted from mines or quarries is gone from Sweden's interior forever, the companies do not have to pay for it. Whether it is the state-owned LKAB that picks it up, or an Australian company like in the Talga case. The mining companies are expected to pay for the wealth they extract from the ground through the wages of their employees. Which the municipality can tax.
This model no longer works.
Some of the highest paid civil servants are based in Stockholm. They pay no income tax in Kiruna.
One reason is that the tax the municipality can levy is a flat tax. Unlike the state tax, which is higher for high earners, all residents of the municipality have to pay the same amount per hundred kronor in municipal tax, regardless of how much they earn. This makes it difficult to raise taxes, as a tax increase inevitably hits the municipality's low-income earners hardest.
But that's not the only problem. Many of the people who work in the mine pay no income tax at all. No one had heard of "Fly in, fly out" when Kiruna was founded around the huge ore deposit in the Kiirunavaara mountain, which is now scraped and eroded beyond recognition. But today, municipalities estimate that a couple of thousand people commute to Kiruna by air. They pay taxes elsewhere, they literally fly away with the profits from ore mining. It is the same with LKAB's engineers, administrators and managers. Many of them no longer live in Kiruna, but elsewhere. The head office of Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag, named after the mountain in Kiruna, is in Luleå, and some of the most highly paid officials are in the World Trade Centre on Kungsbron in Stockholm. They pay no income tax in Kiruna.
Other taxes, such as corporation tax and tax on dividends, are state taxes, they go directly to Stockholm, too.
In Kiruna, taxes are not enough. The municipality has debts of SEK 2.7 billion, partly because a large part of the town had to be moved to make way for mining.**
The chairman of Kiruna's municipal council draws an obvious conclusion: it is not reasonable for Kiruna to deliver welfare to the rest of Sweden, while they themselves cannot afford milk in the school canteens. So when Talga earlier this year pushed for the government to force the municipality to adopt a detailed plan, M. T. and the other politicians lost patience and cancelled the entire planning process.
They were right to do so.
It is a poor argument that the graphite that Talga will mine upstream from Vittangi will be used in batteries needed in the green transition. On the one hand, it is not a given that it is fossil coal that will be used for the batteries, Stora Enso is currently developing an alternative material with raw materials from the forest, but the most important thing of all is this: precisely because it is about the green transition, it is crucial that the new jobs that emerge are decent jobs that benefit the people and the local community that will support the transition. * ...So we say no...I don't get it
This applies to Tesla, and it must apply to Talga."
*I would like to point out to the (brain-blinded indoctrinated) author that the antis are also against logging. I read about it regularly on the environmental protection association's website. Apart from the fact that it has not been tested whether this could really and practically replace a part of the graphite demand for batteries and fulfils the quality standards of the OEMs.
**The move was financed by LKAB and the regional administration was bad with money, if I remember correctly.
another comment to that topic:
There are some things being written in the media right now about a possible coal mine outside Vittangi.
It is claimed that the municipality's rejection of the mine is only because we are unhappy with the lack of profit from mining activities to the municipality.
This is not true, the main reason for the municipality's rejection of the coal mine is due to environmental reasons.
So even if there would be any compensation, it is a strong NO to any mine.
I urge all media to read the statement signed by Kiruna's 4 parties in the municipal leadership.
It is important that we all relate to reality regardless of what one thinks in the matter.
Amen to that, I agree.
So a double and absolutely no under no circumstances, no matter what, no matter how, even for climate protection. And the GT is just colonialism anyway. I'm afraid that nowadays real climate protection is a battle against environmentalists. I would never have thought of that maybe five years ago.
Have a nice weekend anyway

Another competitor is trying in the race (brewm0re already mentioned it here). It's about South Greenland and Greenroc. I only mention it because of their same reasoning about the market, obvious, but also because of the high grade:
"The Amitsoq Graphite Project is located in the Nanortalik region of southern Greenland and is one of the highest-grade graphite deposits in the world
It has a total inferred, indicated and measured JORC Resource of 23.05 million tonnes (Mt) at an average grade of 20.41% Graphitic Carbon (C(g)), giving a total graphite content of 4.71 Mt. The Resource contains a lower graphite layer that has a JORC resource of 16.88 Mt at a grade of 21.51% with 3.634 Mt of contained graphite. For context, deposits with compliant resources above 20% C(g) are scarce, with the average global grade of graphite resources being just 8.45%."
https://greenrocmining.com/project/amitsoq-graphite-greenland/
But there is still a long way to go. I couldn't find a date for the planned launch on a quick glance. Maybe it's still too early for that.
The project is lightly supported by the UK.

There is also a huge opposition to mining in Greenland, at least that's how it was when I looked there from time to time because of the financial moguls (Gates/Bezos - KoBold Metals) who want to mine there.
www.bbc.com
another project in the same region:
7 April 2021
"...
The left-wing Inuit Ataqatigiit, which opposes a mining project in southern Greenland, secured 37% of votes.
Its leader said on Wednesday that the Kvanefjeld mine, home to major deposits of rare minerals, would not go ahead.
...
What's at stake
The company that owns the site at Kvanefjeld, in the south of the country, says the mine has "the potential to become the most significant western world producer of rare earths", a group of 17 elements used to manufacture electronics and weapons.
However, disagreement over the project led to the collapse of Greenland's government earlier this year, paving the way for Tuesday's snap election.
Many locals had raised concerns about the potential for radioactive pollution and toxic waste in the farmland surrounding the proposed mine.
"The people have spoken," Inuit Ataqatigiit's leader Múte Bourup Egede told Danish state broadcaster DR on Wednesday morning, adding that the project would be halted.
...
The Kvanefjeld site is owned by an Australian company, Greenland Minerals, which is in turn backed by a Chinese company.
China already has mining deals with Greenland, while the US - which has a key Cold War-era air base at Thule - has offered millions in aid.
Mining isn't Greenland's only issue, however.
The territory is on the front line of climate change, with scientists reporting record ice loss last year. This in turn has significant implications for low-lying coastal areas around the world.

"The Amitsoq Graphite Project is located in the Nanortalik region of southern Greenland and is one of the highest-grade graphite deposits in the world
It has a total inferred, indicated and measured JORC Resource of 23.05 million tonnes (Mt) at an average grade of 20.41% Graphitic Carbon (C(g)), giving a total graphite content of 4.71 Mt. The Resource contains a lower graphite layer that has a JORC resource of 16.88 Mt at a grade of 21.51% with 3.634 Mt of contained graphite. For context, deposits with compliant resources above 20% C(g) are scarce, with the average global grade of graphite resources being just 8.45%."

But there is still a long way to go. I couldn't find a date for the planned launch on a quick glance. Maybe it's still too early for that.
The project is lightly supported by the UK.

There is also a huge opposition to mining in Greenland, at least that's how it was when I looked there from time to time because of the financial moguls (Gates/Bezos - KoBold Metals) who want to mine there.

"...
The left-wing Inuit Ataqatigiit, which opposes a mining project in southern Greenland, secured 37% of votes.
Its leader said on Wednesday that the Kvanefjeld mine, home to major deposits of rare minerals, would not go ahead.

What's at stake
The company that owns the site at Kvanefjeld, in the south of the country, says the mine has "the potential to become the most significant western world producer of rare earths", a group of 17 elements used to manufacture electronics and weapons.
However, disagreement over the project led to the collapse of Greenland's government earlier this year, paving the way for Tuesday's snap election.
Many locals had raised concerns about the potential for radioactive pollution and toxic waste in the farmland surrounding the proposed mine.
"The people have spoken," Inuit Ataqatigiit's leader Múte Bourup Egede told Danish state broadcaster DR on Wednesday morning, adding that the project would be halted.

The Kvanefjeld site is owned by an Australian company, Greenland Minerals, which is in turn backed by a Chinese company.

Anyone know the current price of Graphite Anode coming from china to the european market?
I have the feeling that the time this drags on in the court might have an impact on our offtake agreements. We might not be able to charge above current rates from China. Thats why I am interested in knowing what the stuff currently sells for. Anyone has a hint?
