ASX Announcement
Associated Ga, Sc and Sr Results Reinforce Grønnedal’s MultiElement Critical Metals Profile
Eclipse Metals Ltd (“Eclipse” or the “Company”) is pleased to report additional strontium, gallium, and scandium results from its 2025 diamond drilling program at the Grønnedal Project in southwest Greenland, further supporting the multi-element abundance of the carbonatite system that recently returned extensive Nd-Pr-enriched rare earth mineralisation from surface across five drillholes.
These associated-element results follow the Company’s 13 April 2026 announcement confirming extensive Nd-Pr-enriched rare earth mineralisation across five drillholes from surface at Grønnedal, including multiple zones exceeding 1% TREO, peak values up to 2.84% TREO, and Nd ₂ O ₃ plus Pr ₂ O ₃ exceeding 30% of TREO in the principal reported mineralised intervals. Grønnedal currently hosts a JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource of 89 Mt at 6,363 ppm TREO.
The broader analytical dataset now further demonstrates the multi-element fertility of the Grønnedal carbonatite system, with elevated gallium and scandium values returned in parts of the mineralised sequence and very strong strontium values across a substantial part of the current drilling dataset.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
➢ Follow-up analytical results confirm widespread associated critical metals within the same carbonatite system that recently returned broad from-surface Nd-Prenriched REE mineralisation. 20 strontium significant intersections average 2.32%Sr at a 2%Sr cut-off.
-
➢ Gallium: 42.5m at 26.7ppmGa, including 4.2m at 90.8ppmGa in drillhole GD003
-
➢ Scandium: 61m at 12.3ppmSc, including 21.4m at 20.7ppmSc in drillhole GD002
-
➢ The associated-element results complement the strong rare earth element profile previously reported at Grønnedal, where all five drillholes intersected broad rare earth mineralisation from surface to end of hole
-
➢ Results are additional to , and do not change, the Company’s primary focus on advancing Grønnedal as a large-scale Nd-Pr rare earth project.
-
➢ Previously reported significant rare earth intersections at a 1,000 ppm TREO cutoff include:
-
195m at 6,268 ppm TREO and 2,036ppm Nd2O3+Pr2O3 from surface in GD001
-
151m at 4,507 ppm TREO and 1,649ppm Nd2O3+Pr2O3 from surface in GD002
-
o150.2m at 5,762 ppm TREO and 1,774ppm Nd2O3+Pr2O3 from surface in GD003 -
114.4m at 6,883 ppm TREO and 2,057ppm Nd2O3+Pr2O3 from surface in GD004
-
89.3m at 6,700 ppm TREO and 2,075ppm Nd2O3+Pr2O3 from surface in GD005

INTRODUCTION
The Ivigtût Project, comprising exploration licence MEL2007-45, is located in Southern Greenland (Figure 1). The Project Area encompasses the Grønnedal Rare Earths Deposit.
Grønnedal is an extensive carbonatite-hosted REE system that forms part of the Proterozoic Grønnedal-Ika Complex. The current JORC 2012 inferred mineral resource comprises 89 MT grading 6,363 ppm TREO.

BACKGROUND
On 13 April 2026, Eclipse announced extensive rare earth mineralisation from its 2025 five-hole drilling program at Grønnedal, including broad from-surface intersections in all five drillholes, multiple zones exceeding 1% TREO, and peak values up to 2.84% TREO. The results also confirmed a strong magnet rare earth element profile, with Nd ₂ O ₃ plus Pr ₂ O ₃ exceeding 30% of TREO in the principal reported mineralised intervals.
The current associated-element update is intended to provide additional context from the broader analytical dataset and further demonstrate the geochemical character of the mineralised carbonatite system.
ASSOCIATED-ELEMENT RESULTS
The analytical dataset from the current drilling program includes elevated gallium and scandium values in parts of the mineralised carbonatite sequence, with peak values of 100 ppm Ga and 25.9 ppm Sc, respectively.

The maximum strontium 6.1%Sr result was obtained from 117-118m in hole GD002.This strong strontium response is consistent with the geochemical fertility of the Grønnedal carbonatite system and further supports its broader association with critical metals.
While the Company does not attribute economic significance to these associated elements at this stage, the Ga, Sc and Sr results provide additional evidence of the strength and scale of the mineralised system and complement the project’s core rare earth element profile. The summaries of grade intervals are shown in Tables 1 to 4.

REE CONTEXT
The associated-element results should be considered in the context of the strong rare-earth outcomes already reported from Grønnedal. The 2025 drilling program confirmed extensive rare earth mineralisation from surface across all five drillholes (Figure 2)

STRATEGIC CONTEXT
The Company considers the broader associated-element results supportive of Grønnedal’s strategic positioning as a rare-earth project hosted within a highly fertile carbonatite system. In addition to its Nd-Pr-enriched rare-earth profile, the presence of elevated Ga and Sc values and very strong Sr values reinforces the project's broader critical-metals character.
Against a backdrop of increasing focus on secure and diversified critical minerals supply, Grønnedal’s location in Greenland, existing Mineral Resource base, extensive from-surface rare earth mineralisation, and broader associated-element profile position the project within a strategically relevant part of the critical minerals market.
NEXT STEPS
-
Continued interpretation of the broader geochemical dataset
-
Ongoing geological modelling and resource evaluation
-
Continuing metallurgical and beneficiation studies
-
Ongoing strategic engagement relating to long-term critical minerals supply opportunities
The Company cautions that further technical work is required before any conclusions can be drawn regarding the economic significance or potential recoverability of associated elements beyond those reported in this announcement.

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status • Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
• MEL2007-45 tenement granted to Eclipse Metals Greenland (a wholly owned subsidiary of Eclipse Metals Ltd) by the Greenland Minister of Finance, Industry and Minerals Resources, as announced to the ASX on 17 February 2021. |
| Exploration done by other parties • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Historic Drilling • The 19,000 metres of historic diamond drill cores are stored in a government facility. • Data and results from exploration conducted by other parties have been reported on previously. • Historical results have been used to prepare preliminary exploration models for planning future activities. |
| Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The deposit type is a mid-Proterozoic nepheline syenite and carbonatite intrusion into Archean |
