The following amendment has been made to the 'Board changes'

Troy also appointed to the role as Chief Operating Officer. Mr
Whittaker has been appointed as an NED only, with effect from 20
December 2023, and is not assuming the role of Chief Operating
Officer. References to the role of Chief Operating Officer should

About Bluejay Mining plc
Bluejay is listed on the London AIM market and Frankfurt Stock
Exchange and its shares also trade on the OTCQB Market in the US.
With multiple projects in Greenland and Finland, Bluejay offers
both portfolio and commodity diversification focused on base and
precious metals in Tier 1 jurisdictions.
Bluejay, through its wholly owned subsidiary Disko Exploration
Ltd., has signed a definitive Joint Venture Agreement with KoBold
Metals to guide exploration for new deposits rich in the critical
materials required for the green energy transition and electric
vehicles (the Disko-Nuussuaq nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE Project).
Disko Exploration Ltd holds two additional projects in Greenland
- the 692 sq km Kangerluarsuk zinc-lead- silver project, where
historical work has recovered grades of up to 45.4% zinc, 9.3% lead
and 596 g/t silver; and the 920 sq km Thunderstone project which
has the potential to host large-scale base metal and gold deposits.
Bluejay also owns 100% of the fully permitted Dundas Ilmenite
Project under its subsidiary Dundas Titanium A/S in northwest
Greenland for which it will seek strategic alternatives.
In Finland, Bluejay currently holds three large scale
multi-metal projects through its wholly owned subsidiary FinnAust
Mining Finland Oy. The Company has identified multiple drill ready
targets at the Enonkoski nickel-copper-cobalt project in East
Finland. Bluejay's Hammaslahti copper-zinc-gold-silver project
hosts high-grade VMS mineralisation and extensions of historical
ore lodes have been proven. The drill ready Outokumpu
copper-nickel-cobalt-zinc-gold-silver project is located in a
prolific geological belt that hosts several high-grade former
mines. Bluejay also owns 29% of Metals One PLC (AIM: MET1) after
the divestment of its Black Shales Project.
