Font size

The mining company Beowulf Mining has announced that trading in the company's shares has been stopped. A decision they have made themselves. According to a press release, it is due to the mining company's financial problems.

DN has previously reported that Beowulf Mining has had a tough time financially in the past year. For example, the company has had to postpone payments of salaries and invoices.

This summer, Beowulf Mining concluded an investment agreement with the British venture capital company Bacchus capital. But in order for the venture capital company to enter as majority investor, approval was required from the Inspectorate for Strategic Products, ISP.

The review of the new investor dragged on, causing the investment agreement between Beowulf Mining and Bacchus to expire. The venture capital company also did not want to extend the agreement due to uncertainties about how long ISP's review would take.

According to a press release from the mining company, the review of the strategic investment has been stopped by ISP as there is no new investment decision.

Beowulf Mining must now find other solutions to avoid bankruptcy. This could, for example, involve selling off assets or subsidiaries to raise money. But according to the press release, the company may, due to the financial problems, be forced into a reconstruction.

DN is looking for Beowulf Mining's CEO Ed Bowie.

Headwinds for iron ore mines: "Large surplus of steel"

Base metals such as copper and zinc and precious metals such as gold are rising on the world market, while iron ore is being squeezed by large supply and a weak steel industry. Christian Kopfer at Arctic Securities points to an oversupply of steel and increased recycling in Europe. There are 13 active mines in Sweden, seven of which produce copper, five of which are owned by Boliden, which reports increased sales and profit. Kaunis Iron and LKAB are experiencing tough times with falling profits, geopolitical uncertainty and higher costs. LKAB plans to mine the Per Geijer deposit to secure ore supply and reduce dependence on China, as well as switch to fossil-friendly sponge iron.

Peter Alestig: Now "heatflation" is a reality - can cause an interest rate shock this winter

Statistics Sweden's inflation statistics show that energy prices are driving up prices in Sweden twice as fast as the previous month, while the WMO warns of a record-breaking El Niño that could worsen extreme weather and drive up global food and energy prices, which increases the risk of further interest rate increases from the Riksbank and affects Swedish households.
