Eldur Olafsson, chief executive officer of
Amaroq, commented:
"Securing these contracts with experienced and reliable partners is a critical step forward in the restart of the Nalunaq mine.
A
key
factor
in
our
selection criteria for both parties was their expertise in working with projects in remote locations, as well as their focus on safety and efficiency.
With these agreements now in place, we are ready to move to the next phase of the project's development,
with rehabilitation activities due to
start this month."
Markus Beermann,
CEO of
Thyssen Schachtbau, commented:
"We are pleased to support Amaroq with this project and look forward to commencing works on the Nalunaq project. Thyssen Schachtbau
will leverage its
extensive
experience with successfully progressing
mining
projects in Arctic locations similar to Nalunaq.
Moreover, it is a
great
opportunity for
expanding and diversifying our portfolio in the region with tremendous exploration and mining potential."
Ben-Schoeman
Geldenhuys, co-founder
of Tamarack Mining Services, commented:
"Due to
Nalunaq's
remote location, ensuring seamless procurement and logistical processes will be key to its success. Tamarack Mining Services provides unrivalled procurement support and negotiation power in this space.
Amaroq's adoption of
Tamtek's
Blindspot AI technology for supply chain, procurement
and maintenance demonstrates its commitment to innovation in mining. We are excited to work with Amaroq
as they continue to demonstrate their strong commitment and leadership in the development of
