Alba secures foothold in Greenland ilmenite province

Aim-listed Alba Minerals has been granted an exclusive licence to explore the coastline of Greenland’s Thule black sand province, targeting heavy mineral sands, especially ilmenite. The licence, covering 384 km2, is 9 km from fellow-listed Bluejay Mining’s Pittufik ilmenite project, where an inferred resource of 23.6-million tonnes at 8.8% ilmenite has recently been announced.
