(Alliance News) - Bluejay Mining PLC on Tuesday said it has formally lodged its exploitation licence application for the Dundas ilmenite Project to Greenland's Mineral Licence & Safety Authority.
The licence covers the onshore portion of Dundas and once approved will allow the company to produces 440,000 tonnes per annum.

The licence application consists of an environmental impact assessment, social impact assessment, mine plan, financial model JORC-compliant reserve statement and project study.
