Bluejay Mining: Disko-Nuussuaq Field Programme Update

April 11 2022: Bluejay Mining plc, the AIM, FSE-listed and OTCQB traded exploration and development company, reports, on behalf of Nikkeli Greenland A/S, the Joint Venture (“JV”) company created by Bluejay and its JV partner KoBold Metals (‘KoBold’), a revision to the 2022 field programme at the Disko-Nuussuaq project (‘Disko’), in Greenland announced on 24^th March 2022.

Following further evaluation of the work programme, the JV has revised the 2022 programme to double the collection and analysis of modern data for the entire suite of potential targets and begin diamond drilling in 2023. This additional work will allow the JV to determine the best drill targets at Disko.

Bo Møller Stensgaard, CEO of Bluejay Mining, commented: “The JV’s revised work programme represents the best route to exploration success.  We’re confident in KoBold’s ability to create more long-term value out of this than anyone else. 

“The JV will be carrying out a much more extensive geophysical, geological and geochemical programme this field season to define the best drill targets.

“The now much more extensive programme will still commence in early June, with mobilisation and build-up of the exploration camp from mid-May.  I look forward to keeping the market updated on its progress.”
