  • De-risk Exploration Target (up to 1.2 Moz of gold - SRK Exploration, March 2017) and potentially increase the footprint of the Nalunaq mine. 

Exploration - Establishing resource potential at Tartoq project

Exploration -Establishing Main Vein type mineralization over a 20 km corridor across the Vagar and Nalunaq licences

  • Gold sampling in the Vagar licence sub areas of Ship Mountain, Nalunaq West, Nalunaq East and Lake 410 licence areas. Approval expected for this additional work expected in late August 2017
  • Revisit previously identified indications of the Main Vein structure's continuation across the Nanortalik Gold belt.

Infrastructure - Acquiring new equipment and high grading existing infrastructure:

Eldur Olafsson, the CEO of Alopex, stated "Following our successful IPO in July 2017 and with the money raised from our supportive shareholder base, I am pleased to announce the commencement of our summer work Programme. Through this busy work Programme, we are seeking to provide further detail of the main gold vein in our principle Nalunaq gold mine, ready for the reinstatement of production operations and explore our concept of gold resource extension throughout the rest of our licence area and contiguous with the proven Nanortalik Gold Belt in South Greenland".

"We have a team of very experienced individuals lead by our exploration director on the ground in Greenland and will be systematically working through the schedule which starts with the channel sampling at the Tartoq project before moving onto the Nalunaq Gold Mine. This Programme is strategically key to the development of this opportunity and I look forward to updating investors as to the progress of the Programme."
