David Hargreaves on Beowulf Mining

Beowulf Mining which is developing iron ore deposits in Sweden has announced its unaudited preliminary results to 31 December 2012. An expected loss before tax was (£1,047,486) against (£832,235) last year. The cash position is noted as £3.7M. Drilling continued at both the Kallak North and Kallak South deposits and approval is noted for a test mining application in respect of Kallak North. The company rightly points out the advantages of Sweden as amining safe haven and its proximity to iron ore markets.
