JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Mineral exploration and development company Beowulf Mining has appointed 68-year-old Swede Per Göran Färm as its chairperson with immediate effect, succeeding Bevan Metcalf.

Färm was an elected Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1999 to 2004 and, then again, from 2007 to 2014. He was also deputy mayor of Norrköping during the 1990s.

Beowulf, which is seeking to develop the Kallak iron-ore project in Sweden, says that Färm has experience in industrial policy as a former head of the Swedish trade union confederation's unit for economic policy and investigation, as head of business issues in the city of Norrköping and as a former MEP on the committee of industry, research, and energy of the European Parliament.

"It gives me great pleasure to welcome Göran to the team. He has shown great enthusiasm to playing a role in what, I hope, are the final stages to being awarded an exploitation concession for Kallak North. He has tremendous experience with Swedish media and politics, and will greatly complement the Beowulf team,” comments CEO Kurt Budge.

Färm comments that one of his first crucial tasks ahead is to get the Kallak project, in Jokkmokk, started.

“We welcome that the government has asked the County Administrative Board for the County of Norrbotten to deliver its final opinion by December 1, 2017,” he states.
