A company’s success or failure ultimately comes down to the quality and integrity of its Board of Directors.
Today, 80M themselves published this glowing endorsement of Amaroq:
“Amaroq Minerals is a well-capitalised and technically proficient Greenland-focused explorer and developer, and 80 Mile is confident that their team is well-placed to unlock the value of the project through systematic exploration.”
If only the same could be said about 80M.
What makes this all the more striking is that both companies have followed very similar early paths in Greenland. In 2015, Amaroq acquired the Nalunaq gold mine; in the same year, FinnAust (now Bluejay) acquired a 60% stake in Pituffik. The difference? One has gone on to build a successful track record… the other, well, no prizes for guessing.
Another stark contrast:
As of 31 March 2025, Amaroq reported 7,115,483 outstanding options.
On 25 October 2024, 80M had 175,900,000 outstanding options, and have now announced the issue of another 393,557,018 shares (again diluting holders).
If my calculations are correct, that takes the total to 569,457,018 outstanding options — meaning the BoD at Jay / 80M appear to have awarded themselves roughly 80 times more options than the board over at Amaroq. Incredible.
These numbers are based on publicly released data, and I’m happy to be corrected if any detail is wrong. Perhaps Mr Proxy could confirm or deny… though I somehow doubt it - after all, the subject is rather contrary to their own ramping agenda.
