Bluejay CEO, Roderick McIllree, said: "I am delighted to have now executed this Master Distribution Agreement with such a Blue-Chip Asian conglomerate on such a significant proportion of our expected annual production from Dundas. Having one party take the bulk of our output and distribute it into smaller annual parcels as required by end users means significant savings will be made with reduced double handling and storage by the Company.
"This Agreement is yet another major step forward in the development of the Project following the recent granting of the exploitation licence, and is an endorsement of the quality of the ilmenite we will produce. Prior to completing this Agreement, we jointly undertook a global customer acceptance programme from which we received sufficient positive feedback to enter into this agreement. It is expected that this product will ultimately be supplied into multiple international markets in Asia (including China and Japan), and a number of EU countries.
"The delivery of this key milestone does not mean that we can rest on our laurels, and we remain focused on delivering the other workstreams required for the successful development of the Project. We are currently in discussions with a number of entities regarding project financing and these are progressing well. Additionally, we will be furthering discussions to secure offtake agreements on the small residual production from Dundas. I would like to finish by thanking our shareholders and stakeholders for their support, but especially my colleagues at Bluejay for navigating a challenging year and finishing it with three major milestones. We look forward to further successes together as we enter 2021."
