Setting up partnerships that would bring further technical and financial expertise to the development of the company’s exploration prospects is a key element of NunaMinerals’ business model. NunaMinerals began operations in 1999 and is headquartered in Nuuk, Greenland. The company is listed on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S under the symbol “NUNA” (Reuters code: NUNA.CO; Bloomberg code: NUNA:DC). For more information, please visit our website: www.nunaminerals.com.
