About Bluejay Mining plc
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 multiple projects in Greenland and Finland, Bluejay offers both portfolio and commodity diversification focused on base and precious metals in Tier 1 jurisdictions.
Bluejay, through its wholly owned subsidiary Disko Exploration Ltd., has signed a definitive Joint Venture Agreement with KoBold Metals to guide exploration for new deposits rich in the critical materials required for the green energy transition and electric vehicles (the Disko-Nuussuaq nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE Project).
Disko Exploration Ltd holds two additional projects in Greenland – the 692 sq km Kangerluarsuk zinc-lead-silver project, where historical work has recovered grades of up to 45.4% zinc, 9.3% lead, and 596 g/t silver; and the 920 sq km Thunderstone project which has the potential to host large-scale base metal and gold deposits. Bluejay also owns 100% of the fully permitted Dundas Ilmenite Project under its subsidiary Dundas Titanium A/S in northwest Greenland for which it will seek strategic alternatives.
In Finland, Bluejay currently holds three large-scale multi-metal projects through its wholly-owned subsidiary FinnAust Mining Finland Oy. The Company has identified multiple drill-ready targets at the Enonkoski nickel-copper-cobalt project in East Finland. Bluejay’s Hammaslahti copper-zinc-gold-silver project hosts high-grade VMS mineralization and extensions of historical ore lodes have been proven. The drill ready Outokumpu copper-nickel-cobalt-zinc-gold-silver project is located in a prolific geological belt that hosts several high-grade former mines. Bluejay also owns 29% of Metals One PLC (LON: MET1) after the divestment of its Black Shales Project.
