Bluejay Mining* (JAY LN) 12.16p, Mkt cap £118m – Board reorganisation sees Dr. Bo Møller Stensgaard takeover as CEO with McIllree taking over as Chairman BUY, Valuation 29.4p • Bluejay has reorganised its board so that Dr. Bo Møller Stensgaard, Bluejay’s Chief Operating Officer can take over as CEO. • Bo Møller Stensgaard has been leading the Dundas ilmenite project in Greenland and is well placed to take the project through funding and development. • Bo’s connections within Greenland and Denmark should help with the organisation of multilateral funding from the Greenland, Danish and EU to support the offtake and project finance. • Bluejay continue to optimise the Dundas project with the expectation of firming up and reducing the $245m capital cost of the project. • Mr. Rod McIllree has moved to Executive Chairman of the Board, while Mr. Mike Hutchinson becomes a Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee. • Ian Henderson is retiring from his non-executive board position while Mr. Peter Waugh, a respected titanium market expert, remains a Non-Executive Director. • Share transaction: Rod McIllree was also reported to have sold 20m shares yesterday at 14.5p representing a significant 2.225p/s premium price to the previous closing price via an off-market transaction. ‘The purchasing entity has also expressed an interest in acquiring further shares "on market" during 2021.’ • McIllree continues to hold 7.69% of Bluejay shares. Conclusion: We see Bo Møller Stensgaard as well placed to lead the Dundas project and company forward with his local and multilateral connections. It is also good to hear that the purchasing entity which bought Rod McIllree’s shares is interested in acquiring more stock during 2021. *SP Angel act Nomad and broker to Bluejay.
