Following a number of positive regional meetings, the final face-to-face public consultation meeting successfully took place at Ilulissat on Friday 31 July 2020. The meeting due at the settlement Savissivik on 27 July 2020 was postponed due to fog hampering travel and will be rescheduled as a teleconference meeting in August. The Public Consultation period ends on 2 September 2020.\n \n At the meetings, the Company was represented by Bluejay COO Bo Møller Stensgaard and Dundas Titanium A/S director Hans Jensen (Dundas Titanium A/S is a 100% owned subsidiary of Bluejay, which holds the Dundas Project).
