Exploration and development company Bluejay Mining has ticked another prerequisite for an exploitation licence for its Dundas project, in Greenland, with the acceptance of its navigational safety investigation (NSI) study.

The purpose of the NSI was to verify that navigation can be carried out in a safe and secure manner for ships and the environment, says consultant Force Technology senior naval architect Jens Bay.

“Based on available shipping route data, weather information, ice movement and occurrence, together with our thorough investigations, we can confirm that this is the case, and that the shipping route to and from the proposed port site of the future Dundas ilmenite mine is both a safe and viable one in the summer and early fall season.  

“We further note that the bulk shipping undertaken from Dundas in 2019 is testament to its feasibility,” comments Bay.

The Dundas project has been proven to be the highest-grade mineral sand ilmenite project globally, with a resource of 117-million tonnes at 6.1% ilmenite and a maiden offshore exploration target of between 300-million and 530-million tons of ilmenite at an average expected grade range of 0.4% to 4.8% ilmenite.
