Questions to Beowulf Mining from London Mining Network

"Questions to Beowulf", 10 September 2020.

...Beowulf is a small mining company, listed on the London Stock Exchange. For years it has been attempting to construct an iron ore mine in the region of Jokkmokk in northern Sweden, where indigeneous Sámi people herd reindeer, and against the opposition of many in the Sami community...In February 2020, the Swedish government announced that they had finally refused the company’s application for their Kallak mining project, but the struggle to ensure the company gives up trying to mine in Sámi territory continues. Beowulf held its 2020 AGM behind closed doors on 10 September. We submitted questions to the company on behalf of Sámi colleagues....

Question 1:

...How is it possible to construct a mine in the middle of the S ancient migratory routes, effectively blocking the traditional migration of the reindeer, without inflicting crucial damage to [the Sámi's] unique way of life?

Question 2:

With the latest ruling of the Supreme Court in the Girjas case regarding Sami communities’ rights in mind, and also knowing that the same conditions are in place in the Kallak area, how is it possible to construct a mine in this area, effectively blocking the communities from fishing and hunting in the proposed mining area?
