Amaroq Minerals Ltd., an independent mine development company with a substantial land package of gold and strategic mineral assets in Southern Greenland, has announced that the successful first underground mining blast at Nalunaq was initiated on 30 March 2024 at the 720 m level.
The first underground blast, undertaken within trial mining activities, represents a key step towards full commissioning of the Nalunaq mine and unlocking the mine’s potential to fund exploration and drive growth across the company’s portfolio in South Greenland.
Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq Minerals, commented:
“I would like to congratulate the team on site at Nalunaq who, working alongside our contractor Thyssen Schachtbau, have reached a milestone moment. Work at Nalunaq is progressing to schedule, with rehabilitation works now complete as we prepare to commence trial mining between 100 and 150 tpd from Mountain Block.”
