Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX: EPM ) ( Eclipse Metals or the Company ) is pleased to provide the following update for its Ivigtût (also referred to as Ivittuut) rare earth element (REE), base metal and industrial mineral prospect, and Grønnedal-Ika REE prospect in southwestern Greenland.

Highly anomalous multi-element assay results

Eclipse has received final REE laboratory assay results for nine grab samples from Ivigtût and GrønnedalIka, collected during a helicopter-assisted reconnaissance program in late 2021. Preliminary results (ASX Announcement dated 9[th] March 2022) identified three possible magmatic hydrothermal events within the Company’s project area. Many over-limit values returned from the first analytical run were further analysed by more accurate methods, which results are included in the table in Annexure 1 . These results are applied to identifying the accurate ratio of the complete suite of REE to better identify the balance of Heavy Rare Earth (HREE) and Light Rare Earths (LREE) ( Table 1) .

Samples from Grønnedal-Ika and Ivigtût returned highly anomalous total rare earth oxide (TREO), with additional by-products of niobium (Nb) in Grønnedal-Ika, and lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and silver

(Ag) concentrations in Ivigtût ( Table 2 ), further confirming the polymetallic nature of the Company’s Greenland project.

Sample G21016 from Grønnedal-Ika returned a highly anomalous 4.66% TREO with 0.13% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3), and by-product value of 3.3% barium oxide (BaO), whereas sample G21011 of a nearby aplitic vein is highly anomalous in niobium oxides with 0.93% Nb2O5 and elevated rubidium oxide, 0.07% Rb2O and zircon oxide, 1.77% ZrO2. The ratio of elements in the suite of HREE and LREE results combined with the presence of other scarce metals in Grønnedal-Ika represents unique carbonatite REE mineralisation, requiring further assessment.

Table 1: Summary of total rare earth oxide (TREO) results in ppm showing heavy REE (HREE) and light REE (LREE).

==> picture [511 x 189] intentionally omitted <==

Even though overall REE concentrations in random samples I21007, I21009 and I21012, collected from the Ivigtût mine dumps are relatively low with respect to TREO values, the ratio in the suite of elements with HREE in comparison to LREE is very encouraging and presents an unexpected style of mineralisation with Cu, Zn, Pb, and Ag in the historic pit environment.

Eclipse’s bulk sampling was targeting industrial mineral and metals, however, the identification of scarce heavy REEs has cemented the conclusion of the uniqueness and polymetallic nature of the Ivigtût pit precinct (Table 2). These results highlight the potential for much of the mineralisation within the pit to have economic value, thus enhancing potential economics for re-development of this mine. Future exploration will include evaluation of the granite and greisen wall-rocks of the pit for REE potential.

More specifically, laboratory analyses of two fluorite samples (I21007 and I21009) and one cryolite-fluoritesiderite sample (I21012) collected from the historic Ivigtût mine dumps (Figure 1) returned:

  • 22.20% fluorine, 8.60 g/t silver and 0.12% copper in sample I21007, and

  • 26.00% fluorine, 165.00 g/t silver, 0.14% copper, 3.83% lead and 0.37% zinc in sample I21012.

Analysis of five ferro-carbonatite grab samples:- G21010 magnetite-limonite-bearing; G21014, G21016, G2107, and G21019, collected from the Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite complex (Figure 2) returned highly anomalous LREE and HREE assay values, as detailed in Table 1 above.

A sample from a sulphide-bearing aplite (G21011) that cuts the carbonatite rocks returned significant metals values, refer Table1.

Full assay results are provided in Annexure 1 .

Eclipse Metals Executive Chairman Carl Popal said: “Our grab sampling program has once again verified the potential of both Ivigtût and Grønnedal-Ika to host REE mineralisation as well as precious, base and industrial metals, which is very encouraging, especially as the demand for REEs, in particular dysprosium, neodymium and praseodymium, as well as niobium continues to grow.

“We have many historical core samples from Ivigtût that need to be assayed for these elements as there had not been any REE exploration previously at the project, and this will provide us with a better understanding of what the existing pit holds, while we plan to create a 3D model for Grønnedal-Ika using the data we have at hand.

“I am planning a site visit to Greenland, and we are in the process to submit a work program to the Greenland Mineral Licence and Safety Authority (MLSA) for onsite work programs starting in the next few months as we work to progress our exploration and uncover the project’s full potential.”

Discussion of REE results

Laboratory assay results from surface grab and historic drill core samples collected by the Company to date (ASX release dated 15[th] November 2021) as well as supplementary readings obtained with a

4

handheld XRF analyser (ASX release dated 17[th] November 2021) indicate the presence of several distinct styles of REE mineralisation:

1. Carbonatite-hosted REE mineralisation

Grønnedal-Ika’s Mesoproterozoic (1,299 ± 17 Ma) carbonatite-syenite complex covers a surface area of 8km × 3km and, as such, is comparable in size to other REE-bearing carbonatites such as Mountain Pass (California), Mt Weld (Australia) and Steenkampskraal (South Africa).

Multiple significant REE results obtained by Eclipse Metals to date (see ASX announcement dated 2[nd] March 2021 and 15[th] November 2021) imply that Grønnedal-Ika has the potential to contain significant REE mineralisation. The presence of light REE mineralisation at Grønnedal-Ika is consistent with other REE-bearing carbonatite intrusive complexes.

Preliminary sampling by Eclipse Metals of historic drill core from Grønnedal-Ika returned significant TREO up to 22.70% in sample IVT 21-3 (see ASX announcement dated 15[th] November 2021). Laboratory results and complementary XRF readings suggest that, in addition to light REE mineralisation, the Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite-syenite complex is also – at least in part – enriched in dysprosium (Dy) , praseodymium (Pr) and neodymium (Nd). The latter are often termed the ‘magnet feed’ rare earth elements which are critical for high-performance magnets used by the automotive sector and in wind turbines.

2. Other styles of REE mineralisation

Additional REE targets requiring field examination include:

  • (i) Certain aplite and pegmatite dykes at Grønnedal-Ika are characterised by a combination of highly anomalous heavy REE and other metals such as tin, niobium, and thorium as exemplified by sample G21011. Further work is required to determine the volume of these aplite and pegmatite dykes and their resource potential.

  • (ii) Carbonatite and dolerite dykes at Ivigtût and Grønnedal-Ika are reported as having REE potential, which is yet to be tested.

  • (iii) The greisen that encloses the Ivigtût cryolite deposit is known to be enriched in REE, tin, tantalum, niobium, and tungsten, however, previous operators focused only on cryolite. Further work, in particular drilling, is required to better define the economic potential of this rock unit.

Overall, the various styles of REE mineralisation at Grønnedal-Ika and Ivigtût, ranging from light to heavy REE, and their respective geological host environments are testament to a complex intrusive history and multiple episodes of REE enrichment. Previous operators focused only on delineating and mining the Ivigtût cryolite deposit and Eclipse Metals is the first company to test the REE and multi-element potential at both Grønnedal-Ika and Ivigtût.

The assays received by Eclipse Metals to date have provided significant additional information on the prospectivity of the historic Ivigtût mine precinct. For Ivigtût, the availability of an extensive library of historic drill core from this project area will save considerably on time and costs in providing a guide to future drilling to explore for REE and other types of mineralisation in this prospect.

Examination of samples and results from Grønnedal-Ika have confirmed a consistent spatial relationship between magnetically anomalous zones and REE mineralisation that will be applied as a guide for future exploration surveys and drilling. Given this spatial (and possibly genetic) relationship, the Company plans to create a three-dimensional (3D) geophysical inversion model of the historic electromagnetic and radiometric data over Grønnedal-Ika, which will serve as a critical tool for generating REE drill targets.

About the Ivigtût Project

Ivigtût is located in southwestern Greenland and has a power station and fuel supplies to service this station and local traffic to support mineral exploration. About 5.5km to the northeast of Ivigtût, the settlement of Kangilinnguit (aka Grønnedal), provides a heliport and an active wharf with infrastructure. The Gronnedal-lka carbonatite complex is less than 10km from Ivigtût and only 5km from the port of Grønnedal. This complex is one of the 12 larger Gardar alkaline intrusions in Greenland and is recognised by GEUS as one of Greenland’s prime REE targets along with Kvanefjeld and Kringlerne (Tanbreez).

The Gardar Province of southwest Greenland constitutes one of the best-endowed REE provinces worldwide. It represents an ancient continental rift zone that was active between 1,330 and 1,140 Ma (i.e., Mesoproterozoic era). Gardar magmatism produced a broad suite of extrusive and intrusive rocks, including kilometre-scale alkaline complexes that are among the world’s largest alkaline ore deposits. The Ivittuut mineralised system, spatially and genetically associated with an evolved alkaline complex of the Gardar Province, formed 1.3 billion years ago as cooling hydrothermal fluids moved through the Earth’s crust.

intrusions into crystalline basement.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the information is
not Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
No drilling was undertaken as part of the
grab sampling program.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
No drilling was undertaken as part of the
grab sampling program.

Commentary
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
_stated. _
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
length, true width not known’).
No drilling was undertaken as part of the
grab sampling program.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts should
be included for any significant discovery
being reported These should include, but
not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional
_views. _
Appropriate maps are provided in the body
of the text.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
_Exploration Results. _
All assay results for the rock chip sampling
have been reported in the Table 1 in the
body of text.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
The exploration by Eclipse Metals of the
Ivigtût and Grønnedal-Ika prospects is at
an early stage with field work to date
mostly limited to reconnaissance sampling.
The Company expects to be able to report
substantive exploration data once it has
completed it’s first full field season at the
prospects.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
Geological mapping; remote sensing;
drilling.
Detailed geological assessments planned
for 2022 field season.
