RE: Jameson Land: Welcome Newcomers!15 Jan 2026 17:33
At the General Meeting on 10 July 2024, the acquisition of White Flame Energy (holder of Jameson Land licences) was passed with the support of circa 88% of JAY shareholders (the company was then known as Bluejay Mining). Since JAY Board members Rod McIllree, Eric Sondergaard and Mike Hutchinson were White Flame Energy shareholders they did not participate in the voting. I attended the meeting and voted in favour of the acquisition. An occasional and skeptical poster here, known as LWHL, once asked me why I voted for the acquisition. I gave these as my main reasons:
❖ LARGE MULTIPLE COMMODITY ASSET: Jameson Land is an 8,429 km² ‘oil and gas’ asset that contains helium, white hydrogen, liquid hydrocarbons (oil), etc.
❖ PROSPECTIVITY - ARCO and GEUS have concluded that the Jameson Land contains all the essential source, reservoir, seal and trap elements to host multiple large-scale natural & industrial gas reservoirs in addition to liquid-rich hydrocarbons. I was impressed by this statement: "ARCO calculated that there could be potentially 4.0 - 10 billion barrels of liquid hydrocarbons in place within the Permian aged reservoir rocks and 4.6 - 11.5 billion accumulated within the Jurassic along with associated industrial and natural gases." We now have the latest independent evaluation conducted by the US-based geoscience services company Sproule ERCE identifying approximately 13.03 billion barrels (P10) of gross unrisked recoverable oil resources in the Jameson Land Basin.
❖ UNIQUENESS OF LICENCES - The acquisition comes with not only three exploration licences but also extraction licences for oil. Moreover, no other company in Greenland has licences for exploring or extracting oil because in 2021 the Greenland government took a policy decision not to issue any such licences in the future. In her presentation to the "Arctic Circle" conference in 2021, Naaja Nathanielsen (Greenland's Minister for Minerals) proudly referred to the ban (link below).
If you haven't already, I would suggest you watch the most recent video interview with RM on this subject. For the purpose of this post, just focus on what he has to say about Jameson Land (move the video to 1:00 min). RM rates Jameson Land as the most valuable mining asset in Greenland in terms of potential contained value, followed by Disko (12:30 mins into the video).
