Bluejay Mining appoints new general manager

Bluejay Mining announced the appointment of Dr Bo Moller Stensgaard as its general manager on Wednesday - a non-board role.

The AIM-traded company said Dr Stensgaard would also join the subsidiary boards as executive director of Dundas Titanium and Disko Exploration, and would join the executive team currently developing the company's wholly-owned Dundas Titanium Project in Greenland.

It said Dr Stensgaard is a Danish national and preeminent geologist, with “extensive” operational experience in Greenland.

He was a senior research scientist at the Danish state survey, and had advised multiple European federal and commercial entities in the field of commodity development, the board claimed.

It said Dr Stensgaard's responsibilities would include strengthening the existing executive team focussing on delivery at Dundas, managing the European & Greenlandic Government Agency liaison, and contributing to the development of the company's wider portfolio of projects.

“We are delighted that Bo is joining the team and very much look forward to his contribution to deliver on the critical milestones ahead,” said Bluejay Mining chief executive officer Roderick McIllree.

“Bo's experience, geological knowledge, network and understanding of Greenland make him the ideal person to join us as we advance the Dundas project into production.”

In support of that, McIllree said Stensgaard would initially focus on working with the existing feasibility team to submit and secure the exploitation licence ahead of planned mining.

“Our ability to attract someone of Bo's calibre is testament to the quality of our operation and its value creation potential.”
