Swedish govt goes back to Norbotten CAB over Kallak project
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Explorer and developer Beowulf Mining should have more clarity about its Kallak North exploitation concession application in the next few months.
The company, which is listed on the Aim, reported on Tuesday that the Swedish government had gone back to the County Administrative Board (CAB) for Norrbotten to request additional information before making a decision about the application.
The information relates to the CAB’s position on whether the environmental-impact assessment for Kallak meets all the requirements of the Environmental Code and whether mining is an appropriate land use for Kallak with reference to two specific chapters of the code.
The CAB previously supported the application and also previously indicated that Beowulf’s application should be permissible with respect of the Environmental Code.
The CAB has to provide its statement to the government by December 1.
Beowulf believes that it has satisfied all the requirements and has appointed SRK Consulting to complete a scoping study for the project. SRK has already started its work and should complete the study by the end of February.
