Hudson Greenland A/S (operator) 100 % Direct
September 23, 2020 - HUDSON RESOURCES INC. (“Hudson” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, the Company has closed its debt restructuring transaction with its existing lenders, Cordiant Capital Inc. and its affiliates, and Romeo Fund – Flexi and its affiliates after receiving shareholder approval and approval from the Government of Greenland.

The Hudson now owns approximately 31% of the White Mountain anorthosite mine through its subsidiary, Hudson Greenland A/S.

Deposit Type

  • Metamorphic


Summary:

Metamorphosed calcic anorthosites form one of the most distinctive rock units in the Archean gneiss complex of West Greenland. These anorthosites are of special interest because of their unusual composition with extremely calcic plagioclase, low-levels of extraneous mineral contaminates, and extensive preservation of primary igneous textures and minerals. These unique mineral-chemical attributes are directly linked to their potential use in various industrial mineral applications, in particular, their use as an alternative source of raw material for the aluminum industry.

Mineralization on the property consists of anorthosite with minor muscovite (2%) and clinozoisite (3%). Rutile, pyrite and biotite are present in extremely small amounts («1%) Thin section petrographic analysis (Le Couteur, 2012) indicates the anorthosite is composed of approximately 95% plagioclase. The rock is hard, massive and has an off-white colour with some vaguely defined patches having a faint brownish cast. The plagioclase varies in grain size up to about 30 mm across. The brownish-tinged patches appear to be large single crystals. The rock is described as coherent but crazed with fine fractures radiating in all directions, indicating the impact of tecto-morphism activity. Pale yellow clinozoisite grains up to 8 mm across, but typically less than 2 mm, account for about 2% of the rock mass. The clinozoisite grains are scattered throughout the rock mass, with some strung along fractures or present a fine veinlets. Pale-yellowish silvery muscovite up to 10 mm across is present at about 2% of the rock mass. Small (<0.1 mm) re-brown biotite plates can be observed in the coarsest transparent plagioclase.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Mining at the White Mountain site consists of a simple drill and blast operation in an open pit where there is no overburden that needs to be removed prior to extraction. Mining is done with 10m benches. After blasting, the ‘shot rock’ is loaded into 35 and 40 tonne articulated haul trucks that carry the ore 11 kilometres down to the waterside processing plant. The haul trucks are operating downhill when loaded, which represents a considerable fuel saving that, together with the absence of overburden on the mineral resource, means a very cost-effective open pit mining operation.

Summary:

The Hudson Resources Inc. announced on November 26, 2018 that it had completed the construction of the Project and had initiated commissioning activities. On February 4, 2019, the Company announced that it had completed the testing of all major equipment components under load and the production of GreenSpar had commenced. All equipment had been performing as expected with the exception of the secondary High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) crusher, which was operating at 55% capacity due to mechanical issues involving the drive system and material feed arrangement. These are being corrected at the manufacturer’s expense, but the situation contributed to an overall delay of approximately four months for the first GreenSpar shipment.

The White Mountain Project processing plant produces a finely ground anorthosite that is being sold under the name “GreenSpar”. Anorthosite is a deep-seated igneous rock dominated by the mineral plagioclase, a calcium aluminum silicate. The White M ........
