1[st] December 2023 ASX Announcement
RARE EARTHS IDENTIFIED OVER 5 KM STRIKE AT GRØNNEDAL DEPOSIT, GREENLAND
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Rare earth mineralisation at Grønnedal extends over 5 km by 2 km, with an exploration target focusing on 3 km by 800 m of ferrocarbonatite defined.
-
Extrapolating the outcropping area of ferrocarbonatite to a depth of 50m indicates a potentially significant exploration target of REE mineralisation.
-
The grade range for the exploration target comprises a notable proportion of magnet REE (Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb), which has the potential to be competitive with other REE projects globally.
-
A grid-based diamond drilling program is planned, along with detailed geological mapping and petrological studies to better understand REE mineralisation controls.
Eclipse Metals Ltd ( Eclipse or the Company ) (ASX: EPM) is pleased to announce that it has delineated a rare earth element (REE) exploration target at Grønnedal within its 100% owned Ivigtût multi-commodity project in SW Greenland. While the rare earth mineralisation at Grønnedal extends over 5 km by 2 km of nepheline syenite, the exploration target currently encompasses an approximately 3 km by 800 m section of ferrocarbonatite intruding the syenite ( Targeted Area ). This Targeted Area is highlighted in Figure 1 and is derived from a combination of recent exploration, a geophysical assessment and review of public domain data.
Data from a 1995 DIGHEM airborne magnetic survey highlights several ovoid shaped responses associated with brecciated ferrocarbonatite bodies (Fig. 2) (refer ASX announcement 9 February 2021). Comparative analysis of the magnetic response with the mapped extent of the ferrocarbonatite suggests a more widespread presence of these formations than previously mapped. Furthermore, 3D inversion interpretation of the magnetic data shows that the carbonatites extend to at least one kilometre below the surface where the two discrete bodies coalesce. In addition, the DIGHEM electromagnetic data revealed seven conductive targets, potentially sulphide mineralisation, recommended for follow up investigation with drilling.

Figure 3: 3D inversion of DIGHEM magnetic data. Isosurfaces: red – 0.15 orange 0.13 yellow 0.11 SI (Fathom Geophysics).
Upon conservative analysis, extrapolating only the outcropping area of ferrocarbonatite (approximately 1.4 million m[2] ) to a depth of 50m indicates yields an exploration target of between 175 and 245 million tonnes of REE mineralisation based on a plausible range of rock density (2.5 and 3.5 gm/cm[3] respectively) ( Exploration Target ).
The anticipated grade for the Exploration Target is between 0.25 and 0.50% TREE including 32% – 39% magnet REE (Nd, Pr, Dy and Tb) based on previously reported results from pitting and drilling in a small part of the Central carbonatite body (refer ASX announcements 25 July and 8 August 2023) as well as historic surface rock sampling (Fig. 1; Table 1).
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration work conducted to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target has been prepared based on actual exploration results described in this report including historical and recent drilling data and geological modelling.

With this in mind, the Company notes the exploration target is based upon analytical results to date that indicate a high proportion of the so-called magnetic REE in the total REE “basket” (Table 1) within the Targeted Area. The range of magnet REE (MREE) is between 32% and 39% which compares favourably with the proportion of MREE publicly disclosed in relation to other REE projects, including the Songwe Hill project in Malawi and the Yangibana project in Australia.
There has been insufficient exploration work conducted to confirm if the estimated proportion of MREE within the Targeted Area is indicative of the proportion of MREE contained throughout the broader mineralisation at Grønnedal. Further sampling and analytical work will need to be obtained throughout the remainder of the mineralisation at Grønnedal and there can be no guarantee that such data will be consistent with the Grønnedal analytical results to date.
In addition to the ferrocarbonatite Exploration Target, historical public domain rock chip sampling of the composite intrusion reveals that anomalous levels of rare earth elements La, Ce and Nd occur over the full 5 km length of nepheline syenite exposed within the company’s tenement (Figure 1; Bedford, 1989). While the ferrocarbonatite intrusions at Grønnedal are generally richest in La, Ce and Nd, highly anomalous values have been recorded throughout the nepheline syenite body and related altered rocks (Figure 1 and Table 2).

Figure 4: Grønnedal pitting results (Refer ASX announcement 25 July 2023). See Figure 1 for location of these pits within the Central carbonatite.
A program of diamond drilling is planned to test the ferrocarbonatite exploration target together with detailed geological mapping and petrological studies aimed at better understanding controls on REE mineralisation, particularly in the less well understood altered syenites.
Executive Chairman Carl Popal commented : “Eclipse is extremely pleased with these results and is excited to contemplate what the future might bring. The Ivigtút mining precinct contains the world’s only historical mine of the rare mineral cryolite and is now developing as a leader in rare earth element (REE) mineralisation with exploration of the nearby large Grønnedal carbonatite body. This carbonatite is enriched in elevated medium REE mineralisation when compared with other parts of the globe containing similar carbonatite REE. Grønnedal REE’s presents a strategic global project in tier 1 jurisdiction, with existing infrastructure for development, and will become more of a priority in the current global environment. The large REE strike area has the potential to be the leader, playing a pivotal role in the magnetic REE global supply chain for the EU and US.

We are poised to work on significant commercial aspects of the Ivigtút project through the coming year, which includes not only Grønnedal REE but also the critical mineral domains within the Ivigtút pit. The Company is poised to rejuvenate the Ivigtút mine to be once again a global project in the supply of critical minerals and REE. We are currently developing the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Social Impact Assessment (SIA) aspects and planning dewatering of the historical pit for pre-feasibility and mining of the remaining mineralisation.”
