Hello,
You may know the concept of "the butterfly effect" where the details of a tornado (exact time of formation, exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly.

What is happening with Dragon Mining is even more amazing. Some rare butterflies called Woodland brown (Lopinga achine) have stopped flapping their wings in a forest cut down by Dragon Mining on possible Kaapelinkulma mine.  The butterfly is protected by EU Habitats Directive by listing it in annex IV.

This has caused a police investigation by the supervision authority ELY-center. The police is investigating possible environmental crime even though Dragon claims that it was only an accident. Dragon is listing potential criminal sentences in their Hong Kong listing documents, and listing authority wonders if environmental issues are Ok. Hong Kong asks to provide the environmental permit of Fäboliden.  

At the same time local resistance against Dragon Mining is rising. The people have filed a plea for reexamination of the Kaapelinkulma environmental permit conditions at permit authority Regional Administration Office of the Northern and Inner Finland (LSSAVI).

The latest news is that the city of Valkeakoski has made new requirements for the requirements for the mine in an official statement to the permit authority LSSAVI. There are conditions about quarantees, environmental impact assessement, and roads. Dragon Mining keeps commenting the situation and the policies of the city in news papers. It has not commented the development of the legal and social permit situation in Valkeakoski in ASX nor for the Hong Kong authority.

It remains to be seen whether lack of butterfly flaps in a cut forest will finish the Kaapelinkulma mine,
the Finnish operations Dragon Mining, or the whole  company.

As I have warned you numerous times Dragon Mining is not a company to be
trusted based on its environmental record and shareholder informing practices.
For You, investors, there is one way of getting even with Dragon,
it is to sue the company and directors for information failures.
It could be considered ironic situation if a small butterfly would stop a company
who has poisoned lakes, rivers and land for more than a decade in Finland.

Sincerely
Nordic Informer

The butterfly effect is a concept that states "small causes can have larger effects".
This concept was initially used in theories about weather prediction but later the term became a popular metaphor in science writing.^[1]
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. ^[2]
The term itself was coined by Edward Lorenz for the effect which had been known long before, and is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a tornado (exact time of formation, exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly several weeks earlier. Lorenz discovered the effect when he observed that runs of his weather model with initial condition data that was rounded in a seemingly inconsequential manner would fail to reproduce the results of runs with the unrounded initial condition data. A very small change in initial conditions had created a significantly different outcome
