Could be Beowulf's Kallak iron ore mine, which is in the county of Norrbotten as well.

This is what Mark Thompson had to say during the Share-Cafe presentation:

"The normal pathway is to apply for an exploitation license, then an environmental license, then a Natura 2000 license, so it is a three-tier system. We have seen that process take a lot of time previously with other companies. So Talga innovated and invested quite heavily in doing all three together. So all the government departments have got all the same information, all at the same time. We put in all our paperwork last year and those processes are going with the government. We’ve currently got approvals to mine 25% of our planned commercial output of the initial study. Over the next few years, we can mine 25% and in that time we expect to get the full-scale permit. What we are doing to mitigate this is exactly that, trial mine type material provides us with up to 5-6k tonnes of anode. Which can therefore be put into the market over the next several years as the company ramps up to commercial production, by putting that material out to automotive type customers. I understand that people look at the history of Sweden in a certain way, but you've got to understand that some of those other projects were extremely big and up in the mountains. We are down from the mountains and in a more executable place. And being a green, strategic battery supply project, that is vertically integrated locally gives us the best possible chance. We expect to get those approvals next year."
