“This marks a significant milestone for Bluejay Mining LON:JAY. As the highest-grade mineral sand ilmenite project globally, with a homogeneous final product, a projected low-cost production model as well as being strategically located between Europe and North America with easy access to North Atlantic shipping and trade routes, we have always believed that our Pituffik product would be competitively sought. We have now initiated the customer engagement process and I believe this has the potential to lead to some big successes as we execute our development strategy.”
Bluejay Mining plc, the AIM and FSE listed company with projects in Greenland and Finland, has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Dundas Titanium A/S has entered into the first agreement relating to ilmenite product produced from its Pituffik Titanium Project in Greenland.
