For the past six months, he has assisted LNS with the assessment of new mining projects. The first tasks Rørnes will undertake in his new position will be strategy for increased sales, analysis of historical mining data and further operational strategy.

"We are very pleased to have Arnt-Eirik on the team. We will greatly benefit from his international experience and broad expertise in terms of further development of Greenland Ruby. His contribution will strengthen the company in the important phase it is in now," says CEO of LNS and chairman of Greenland Ruby, Frode Nilsen.

"Greenland Ruby is an exciting company that involves many business areas in different locations all over the world. The LNS group has always fascinated me and their willingness to think unconventionally and dare to bet comes through clearly in a pioneering project like this. Therefore, it is particularly important for me to succeed in making this a financially sound project. I am already well underway with the tasks and look forward to working closely with our people in Greenland and other locations," says Arnt-Eirik Rørnes.
