Bluejay Mining plc announced that the first exploration programme of 2023 has commenced at the Enonkoski nickel-copper-cobalt ('Ni-Cu-Co') Project in eastern Finland as part of the Joint Venture ('JV') and earn-in agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Finland Oy announced 10 November 2020. The Company is also announced that the ground gravity survey at the Hälvälä-Makkola target announced on 29 November 2022 was successfully completed in early December with a total of 747 stations measured. Detailed modelling of the gravity data is ongoing with the aim at generating new targets for a future diamond drilling programme.

The first exploration programme of 2023 at Enonkoski will consist of 1,000-1,500 metres ('m') of follow-up diamond drilling at the Laukunlampi target located approximately two kilometres ('km') south-east of the historic Laukunkangas nickel-copper-cobalt mine. Nickel and copper sulphide droplets and sulphide dissemination have previously been intercepted in pyroxenitic and noritic rocks close to the southern and northern contacts of the Laukunlampi intrusion. The objective of the ongoing diamond drilling is to demonstrate the presence of strong metal enrichment of economic nickel-copper-cobalt grades and tenors within the Laukunlampi intrusion.

The drilling will be followed by downhole electromagnetic surveys ('DHEM') of the new drill holes.
