RE: Questions for the AGM 20267 Jun 2026 08:32
In 2025, the Mineral Licence and Safety Authority (MLSA) approved a fieldwork permit (FELT 2025-52) for mineral exploration licence MEL 2015-08. The permit allowed 80M to carry out fieldwork during the summer of that year. As stated in the RNS on 01/05/24, MEL 2015-08 covers the Thule copper tenement. With this in mind, I asked Rod McIllree at the 2025 AGM (26/06/25) whether 80M planned to execute fieldwork at Thule. He gave an affirmative response without expanding on the details. 80M clearly regards the Thule copper project as a separate entity from the Dundas titanium project.
So, what came out of that 2025 fieldwork? The Investor Presentation released via RNS on 27/03/26 included the following statement under 'Upcoming Catalysts & News Flow': "Assay results following field study to be announced in due course for the Thule sediment hosted copper prospect at Dundas."
Understandably, our core focus remains on Disko, Jameson Land and Greenswitch, leaving Thule somewhat off the radar. But how significant an asset is it? This is what the 01/05/24 RNS said (link below):
❖The Thule Basin represents an area of significant, underexplored mineral potential. It hosts the first-order controls required for sedimentary copper deposits and mineralisation is observed within several geological units across the basin. Encouraging ore-grade samples of mineralisation locally exceeding 10% copper have been identified.
❖The expanded licence area is proximal to the Camelot Project operated by BHP in northern Canada, illustrating an interest in arctic frontier exploration by the major mining companies.
Furthermore, in his May 2024 podcast, Eric Sondergaard (then MD) stated the asset has the size and scale to attract majors, noting that one was specifically interested in the project (link below).
If we don’t receive an update on Thule by the time of this year’s AGM (29/06/26), this should definitely be raised as another question at the meeting.
