Strategic partnership with DNB

Highlights of the quarter include a positive preliminary statement from the county governor, fostering optimism for our Lutelandet concession. We are also finalizing our strategic process and have entered into a strategic partnership with DNB for further financing. 

“We are very pleased with the company’s recent development. Our first Buelaks has been sold and distributed, and the facility is almost ready for new stocking in August. This quarter has confirmed that we have made sound judgments,” says Knut Eikeland, CEO of Bue, and continues: “We have every reason to be optimistic about the company’s future development.”
