Naaja H. Nathanielsen, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure, Mineral Resources and Gender Equality, stated: “We are pleased to announce approval of the Exploitation and Closure Plan for the Dundas Ilmenite Project.

Notes
Bluejay is listed on the London AIM market and Frankfurt Stock Exchange and its shares also trade on the OTCQB Market in the US. With projects in Greenland and Finland, its most advanced project is the Dundas Ilmenite Project in Greenland, which is being developed towards production in the near term.
