Aim- and TSX-V-listed mining company Amaroq Minerals has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ABD Solutions, a business within AB Dynamics, to investigate the potential for the introduction of vehicle autonomy systems at its Nalunaq site, in Greenland.

Amaroq is planning a pilot mining and processing operation at Nalunaq, with the aim of proving continuity of the mineralisation and to provide an input to a feasibility study. During this process, the company will work with ABD Solutions to adapt its existing driverless automated vehicle management solutions to the specific environmental and vehicular requirements of the site.

The long-term goal of the MoU is to provide a framework for ABD Solutions to deliver the support, software and hardware solutions needed for the company to operate a diverse range of automation equipment and retrofittable mining vehicles on the Nalunaq site.

These vehicles would be operated automatically and supervised from a central control room, therefore, improving safety and streamlining the mining process, both operationally and financially.

"We are delighted to announce our planned partnership with ABD Solutions - a well-regarded automation company with substantial experience working with organisations to accelerate the transition to autonomy. We are focussed on ensuring that we seek out and deploy innovative technology across Nalunaq, and going forward the rest of the assets within our extensive licence area, as we believe that this will allow us to introduce new skill sets to the workforce in Greenland and to operate safely, efficiently and sustainably,” comments Amoraq CEO Eldur Olafsson.
