Two months ago the country's Supreme Court has dismissed the company's request to appeal against a ruling forcing it to discontinue mining at Gruvberget (CRU Steel News 14 June 2012). That permit is now being handled in a broader application to cover mineral processing at Svappavaara, which includes the Gruvberget operation, he said.
