Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B
For the Quarter ending 31 March 2021
IVITTUUT PROJECT– GREENLAND
ACQUISITION OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST HISTORICAL CRYOLITE MINE WITH RARE EARTH POTENTIAL
On 14 January 2021 Eclipse announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire the Ivittuut Project in southwest Greenland from Cerium Pty Ltd. Refer to ASX Announcement: 14 January 2021 – “Acquisition of the World's Largest Historical Cryolite Mine with Rare Earth Potential and Placement”, for further information.
During the Quarter the Greenland Minister of Finance, Industry and Mineral Resources approved the direct transfer of mineral exploration licence MEL2007-45 to Eclipse Metals Limited Greenland.
In February 2021, the Company received a transfer addendum from the Greenland Mineral Licence and Safety Authority ( MLSA ) pursuant to submitting a transfer application following the acquisition agreement as per ASX announcement dated 14[th] January 2021.

Quarterly Report to 31 March 2021
The historical Ivittuut mine is recorded as having produced 3.8 million tonnes of high-grade cryolite for use in the aluminium industry over its 120-year life. The Ivittuut deposit is known as the world's largest and only cryolite mine. This cryolite deposit with associated fluorite and high-grade quartz also contains minerals with rare earth potential.
To acquire an important project for the Company in the form of the Ivittuut Project has required a significantly great effort by the Board during most of the December 2020 quarter. Subsequently, during third quarter and given the historical nature of Ivittuut, review of voluminous research reports, records and information was progressed in detail by the Board. A large portion of the information had to be translated to English before the review and interpretation could begin.
A general meeting date will be set, and a notice of meeting will be issued for the required Shareholder approvals to issue the phase 2 and 3 consideration securities for acquisition of the Ivittuut Project.

HISTORICAL EXPLORATION DATA OBTAINED
The review included evaluating drill data from the historical open-cut and surrounding areas within the current exploration license. Other reports accessed included exploration drilling, engineering reports covering mining methods, cross-sections, resource block modelling based on lithology/grade, local and regional geology maps, and pre-feasibility studies on a high-grade quartz body within the pit environs.
Definitive historical exploration data and analytical results demonstrate the presence of widespread, unmined mineralisation within the historical Ivittuut mine environment. The Company's evaluation identified the Ivittuut Project as having extensive exploration potential plus short-term cash-flow opportunities. Strong potential was identified for generating JORC compliant resources of cryolite, REE minerals, sphalerite and high-grade quartz in the pit plus the historical low-grade dumps and tailings which contain large volumes of

mineralised rock. Presence of a large body of carbonatite with documented REE potential within this exploration licence was also noted.
In 1985, the mine operator, Kryolitselskabet Oresund, carried out a survey of the base of the open-pit and drill collar locations to prepare an updated, accurate model and to define spatial location for mineralised bodies below the pit floor. This survey data has been digitised to enable assessment of mineral resources for planning future exploration and mining activities.
Eclipse has digitised geological logs from 169 diamond drill holes representing approximately 8,100m of drilling within and around the pit. Approximately 19,000m of historical exploration diamond drill core remains untested for rare earth mineralisation (the fluorite zone at Ivittuut is known to contain REE).
Chemical analyses for cryolite, fluorite and total iron were carried out at Kryolitselskabet Øresund's own laboratory at Ivittuut. The chemical analyses for Cu, Zn, Pb and S on 161 samples, representing a drill core length of 474m, was carried out at the laboratory of Outokumpu Oy in Finland.
MULTIPLE GEOPHYSICAL ANOMALIES IDENTIFIED
During the quarter the Company announced details of multiple geophysical anomalies defined within MEL 2007/45. Geophysical data sets over the Ivittuut project tenement, including government commissioned regional magnetic/radiometric surveys and commercial airborne TMI and Dighem surveys were evaluated. (ASX Report dated 9 February 2021).

Quarterly Report to 31 March 2021
The consulting geophysicist reinterpreted the 1995 aeromagnetic survey and Dighem survey data sets to confirm previously mapped dykes and indications of deep-seated dykes/sills. The magnetic survey highlighted numerous north-east and east-west trending gabbroic dykes and sills with magnetite and sulphide mineral potential, many of which do not appear in 1:100,000 geological mapping.
The strongest magnetic responses were found to be closely associated with known carbonatite and gabbro bodies in the Gronnedal-Ika area; magnetic anomalies suggest a larger extent of carbonatite than indicated by geological mapping. Geophysical surveys have defined seven conductive targets with a close spatial relationship to the carbonatite unit – all anomalies remain untested.
This work has provided a significant amount of information on prospectivity of the carbonatite occurrence and mafic dykes.
High Grade REE mineralisation is widespread within Gronnedal-Ika carbonatite with over 3.4% total REE (TREE) including high grade Europium. Local evidence indicates presence of a world class REE enriched system with favourable structural, geochemical, and lithological indicators with the added potential of carbonate rock as a commercial by-product. Europium has been recognised throughout the carbonatite intrusion at five times greater concentration than average for rocks elsewhere and many times that normally expected in carbonatites.
HIGH GRADE CRYOLITE-FLUORITE MINERALISATION DELINEATED
On 10 March 2021 the Company announced details of additional high grade cryolite-fluorite mineralisation within and beneath Ivittuut pit delineated using 3D modelling based on analysis of historical diamond drilling data, indicating substantial economic potential. Work completed provided results of its ongoing evaluation of definitive historical exploration and analytical data for the Ivittuut open pit reported by independent mining consultants Outokumpu Oy.

Quarterly Report to 31 March 2021
Modelling of historical exploration data from the Ivittuut deposit indicate substantial economic potential within the pit. Thick high grade envelops of cryolite-fluorite mineralisation beneath the pit floor, derived from historic laboratory reports, have been verified with plan and section plots.
Significant intersections include: o Drill Hole 110 - 10.4m @ 15.0% cryolite and 45.9% fluorite from 11.20m o Drill Hole 129 - 10.7m @ 55.0% cryolite and 22.1% fluorite from 29.54m o Drill Hole 141 - 16.2m @ 24.5% cryolite and 39.0% fluorite from 22.0m o Drill Hole 149 - 18.0m @ 17.4% cryolite and 42.4% fluorite from 18.0m o Drill Hole 162 - 10.7m @ 18.6% cryolite and 33.9% fluorite from 18.88m o Drill Hole 167 - 10.0m @ 14.0% cryolite and 56.8% fluorite from 19.0m o Drill Hole 185 - 11.6m @ 41.2% cryolite and 30.3% fluorite from 15.4m o Drill Hole 189 - 20.0m @ 31.8% cryolite from 18.60m
Geological domains were developed to represent the two mineral associations:
Domain D1: Cy-Fl (cryolite and fluorite) Domain D2: Fe-Zn (iron and zinc)
==> picture [518 x 241] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Cross section and 3D views of mineral Domains 1 and 2
Cryolite-Fluorite mineralised area is a circular feature measuring approximately 200m in diameter developed immediately below the base and lower edges of the open pit. The modelled domain representing in-situ mineralisation immediately below the open pit averages 6m, ranging between 4m and 25m thickness. At the lower corners of the pit the domain bulges to thickness of up to 30m.
Zinc mineralisation within Domain 2 is considered to have a very close association with occurrence of siderite (iron carbonate). Historical drilling campaigns only assayed for base metals to a limited extent with little work focusing on potential zinc mineralised lodes. Some of the drilling has yielded high grade base metal results such as 1.7% Cu, 18.2% Zn and 7.7% Pb (Appendix C) hosted within the iron mineralised lode. Most of the zinc mineralisation is hosted within >30% Fe rich zones and remains largely untested. From the 8,100m drilled, only 162 assays were conducted for base metals as cryolite was the primary focus for all historical exploration drilling programs.

NORTHERN TERRITORY- NGALIA BASIN URANIUM PROSPECTS (Refer map)
The Ngalia Basin is located approximately 300km west-northwest from Alice Springs and is considered highly prospective for sandstone paleochannel style uranium mineralisation.
Currently, the company holds approx. 274 km[2] of granted tenure (EL24808 & EL32080) with another 7,280 km[2 ] exploration licence applications (ELA’s 24623, 31499-31502 & ELA’s 32077-32079 & ELA 26487) within the Ngalia Basin.
Eclipse Metals is seeking drilling rigs to conduct initial reconnaissance drilling in EL24808 (Cusack's Bore) and EL32080 (Ngalia North), in the northern part of Ngalia Basin, targeting potentially uranium/vanadium bearing paleochannels indicated from its 2019 geophysical gravity survey over EL24808. Paleochannels from Cusack's Bore appear to extend south into Ngalia North, which will be verified with further gravity or seismic surveys prior to drilling.
The Ngalia Basin notably hosts the following deposits:
-
Bigrlyi Deposit (inferred and indicated resources of 9,570t of U308 at 1,283 ppm and 8,930t of V2O3 averaging 1197 ppm at 500 ppm U308 cut-off);
-
Capper Deposit (Inferred Resource 3,200t of U3O8, averaging 145 ppm U at 100ppm cut-off); and
-
Napperby Project (inferred resource of 3,643t of U308 at 382 ppm U at and 2,251t of V2O3 grading 236 ppm at 200 ppm U308 cut-off).

NORTH AND NORTH-EAST NGALIA BASIN (Refer map)
In October 2020 the Company made a submission to the NT Department of Primary Industry and Resources and the Central Land Council for consent to grant ELA24623 (Eclipse Uranium Project, of 969km[2] ) and ELA26487 (Yuendi Copper-Uranium Project, 1017km[2] ). The Central Land Council (CLC) has acknowledged receipt of the company's application for consent to negotiate granting of ELA 24623 and ELA 26487, pursuant to section 41(6) of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth) (the Act ). The standard negotiating period commenced in November 2020.
During the negotiation period, the CLC will arrange a meeting pursuant to section 42 (4) (a-d) of the Act. The Company is scheduling a meeting with the CLC who will consult with the Traditional Landowners to facilitate initial meetings for Eclipse Metals to commence negotiations.
ELA24623 on the north-eastern fringe of the Ngalia Basin is highly prospective for sandstone-type uranium mineralisation. ELA 26487 covers historical copper prospects along strike from the Mt Hardy proven copper resource held by Todd River Resources Ltd.
Application for ELA's 32077, 32078, 32079, 32499, 32500, 32501, and 32502 are progressing through normal channels.

NGALIA BASIN BASE METAL PROSPECTS (Refer map)
Historical exploration over ELA26487 (Yuendi), on the northern fringe of Ngalia Basin, has indicated anomalous base metals values in the Rock Hill Copper Field, covered by this ELA, which include abandoned prospector workings on polymetallic quartz veins. Within this ELA there are 10 copper prospects that remain relatively unexplored. The copper deposits within the Mt Hardy Mineral Field (about 6km to the northwest from the western boundary of ELA 26487) were discovered in 1935, with mineralisation reported within quartz reefs and pegmatite-aplite veins within the Lower Proterozoic schist.
Minerals recognised in the oxidised zone are malachite, azurite and chalcocite, with chalcopyrite predominant in the sulphide zone. Significant copper mineralisation may also be contained within gneiss formations adjacent to these veins. The average width of the mineralised veins from surface is about one metre (max of 30 metres) with an average length of 100 metres (Warren, Steward, and Shaw).
Upon granting of these two ELA's, planning will commence for comprehensive exploration programs to include geological mapping, sampling, geophysical surveys and ultimately drilling.
