I may be absolutely super mega wrong here, but I believe that we should absolutely mine the crap out of the minerals.

These are minerals Sweden and the EU needs.

Sweden also has the capability to set up a mine in the right way, especially if we keep it administered by Sweden and not just sell it off to foreign capital.

We have the resources to set up a restoration fund that is run independent of the mining company, which would fund restoration work once the mine is closed, meaning we can limit environmental impact on a long term independent of the mining company.

I know I am posting on a community advocating for indigenous people, so I expect to be downvoted a fair bit, but please explain to me why I am wrong without only going “mine bad, sami good”.

I can absolutely see that a mine in the area would offer plenty of good jobs and bring in money to the local community (if set up properly).
