Iron mines to be opened by Hakke og Cie

The Hakke og Cie mining consortium has decided to invest in buying up the land already claimed by early independant prospectors in the region of Lynkal, due to their extraordinary wealth of iron ore, and to establish the town of Knaber on the coast of the region to serve as a hub for both the transport of equipment and materials and the future plentiful production expected of the mines. This endeavor has met an enthusiastic reaction of the Nemnd, with a number of the magnates in the assembly investing part of their capital in developping the infrastructure of the region, and the Better Førl Bal, head of the Sverd Fleet, deploying a two thirds of its vessels, as well as half of its marine corps to protect the merchant navy and the settlers from any foreign interference under the command of the Vestlandean. All in the defense of the manifest destiny of the Norse people.

All these operations will cost 30% of the Vestlandean budget, a sum amounting to 280 billion Vestland Crowns. As for the active personel deployed, the Øks Corps deployed half of their men. The involvment of the Sverd fleet will likely lessen once the region is secured and appropriate military ports and bases are built.
