A bulk sample of 42 000 t from the Dundas ilmenite project has left Greenland for the Port of Contrecoeur in Canada, in what project developer Bluejay Mining said on Monday marked the most northern shipment of bulk cargo anywhere in the world.
The material will be refined at Bluejay’s pilot facility in Canada to produce about 10 000 t of heavy mineral concentrate, half of which will be sent to Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium Canada (RTIT) for testing at the Sorel-Tracy plant, in Quebec.
