REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Eclipse Metals Ltd ( Eclipse or the Company ) is an Australian exploration company focused on exploring south-western Greenland, Northern Territory and Queensland for multi commodity mineralisation. Eclipse Metals Ltd has an impressive portfolio of assets prospective for cryolite, fluorite, siderite, quartz, REE, gold, platinum group metals, manganese, palladium, vanadium and uranium mineralisation.

IVITTUUT PROJECT – GREENLAND

In January 2021 Eclipse acquired the Ivittuut (aka Ivigtût) project and in May 2021, the Company announced it had applied for approval to undertake an initial fieldwork programme on exploration licence MEL2007-45. ( Figures 1 & 2 )

Approval to commence exploration field activities on 1 August 2021 was granted following receipt of formal advice from the Greenland Mineral Licence and Safety Authority. The approved programme of work at Ivittuut included field assessment and general inspection and familiarisation by the new field team, sampling of the existing mullock heaps and sampling of geological bulk intrusions.

An initial sampling program included collection of representative samples from the Ivittuut mine tailings and low-grade waste dumps and the Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite (ASX release 7 October 2021).

Initial examination of historical diamond drill core from the Grønnedal-lka carbonatite intrusive and over 19,000m from Ivittuut cryolite mine environ was conducted in August 2021. Six diamond holes with a combined length of 750m, were drilled over 50 years ago within Grønnedal-lka carbonatite intrusive and much of the core remains uncut and untested.

The drill core is stored in a Greenland Government facility in Kangerlussuaq (Sondre Stromfjord) approx. 320km north from the capital Nuuk. The core has been preliminarily examined by the Eclipse Greenland office administrator and a Consulting Geologist. The core was found to be in good condition and well catalogued, enabling Eclipse personnel to readily identify the drill holes of initial interest and to collect samples from selected sections for analysis in Perth. Of particular interest is the core from the six holes drilled into the carbonatite intrusive where historical exploration has identified anomalous rare earth element content in dolerite dykes intruding the carbonatite.

The Company collected samples for preliminary testing and plans to cut and assay all the core utilising appropriate QA/QC protocols. An initial batch of samples of historical drill-core from the project was submitted to Perth-based laboratories for chemical and petrological evaluation (ASX announcement 7[th] October 2021). The samples are from both the Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite and Ivittuut cryolite mine precincts.

On 15 and 22 November 2021, Eclipse advised that laboratory analysis had returned high-grade rare earth results and confirmed the project’s potential to contain deposits of high-grade quartz, cryolite, siderite, sphalerite and carbonate material. The Australian laboratory used ME-MS81, ME-ICP06, and ME-XRF26 methods to identify multi-commodity mineralisation within the project area. Very low uranium values ranging from 0.7 to 24.3ppm are well below the Greenland Government legislated maximum of 100ppm.

Sample analysis from selected sections of drill core returned significant values for a range of heavy and light rare earth elements ( HREE and LREE ) in both the Ivittuut mine precinct and nearby Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite area. Core from the Ivittuut mine precinct which contained fluorite yielded a total REO (Rare Earth Oxides) value of 536.6 ppm. This is the first time that REE mineralisation has been confirmed within the Ivittuut mine sequence. Samples from Grønnedal-Ika carbonate returned values up to 22,695ppm total REO.

Samples from Grønnedal-Ika and Ivittuut have returned significant analyses for Niobium, Tungsten (W) and Strontium – see Summary table below.

Magnetite intersections were shown to be narrow and intermittent but recent sampling has returned very significant analyses for LREE and HREE (ASX Announcement 17 November 2021).

Historical sampling results also indicate relatively high europium values compared with other REE systems. Europium has been recognised throughout the carbonatite intrusion at several times greater concentration than average for rocks elsewhere in this part of Greenland and many times that normally expected in carbonatites. Europium is in extremely short supply around the world.

Overall, the results confirm there is excellent REE potential at the surface in Grønnedal-lka. The REE prospectivity fits well with Eclipse’s mission to excel in the commercialization of metals and minerals demanded in the production of green energy and required by industry to reduce pollution. Historical exploration records indicate the potential for rapid development and production of cryolite, fluorite, quartz, REE, carbonate, zinc, tin and siderite.

IVITTUUT DRILL CORE SAMPLES

Samples of diamond drill core from the historical Ivittuut cryolite mine returned high grades of SiO2 (silica) and unexpectedly, significant values for rare earth elements. Evaluation of the quartz body below the cryolite pit will be a primary aim of exploration.

This area has not been systematically explored for other commodities, including the REE mineralisation of the carbonatite complex, which has been well noted in academia (Goodenough, 1997). At Ivittuut the Company’s sampling program was centred on the quartz body below the pit, samples of which returned assays of 99.7%, 99.39%, 99.65% and 99.12% SiO2 (ASX announcement 15 November 2021).

Both heavy and light rare earth elements were noted in assays from Ivittuut core samples.

A sample from the Ivittuut mine environment returned a high Tin of grade of 3.54% Sn.

GRØNNEDAL-IKA CARBONATITE COMPLEX

The Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite / nepheline syenite complex and later dolerite dykes are intruded into crystalline Archean basement rocks centred on 48º03’W: 61°14’N, about 10km to the northeast from Ivittuut.

The historic drill holes examined in the first visit were originally sited to obtain samples of nepheline syenite for ceramic manufacture but intersected contact areas of later olivine dolerite dykes carrying magnetite.

REE occurs throughout the carbonatite complex, especially in late-stage veins where it occurs as various strontium REE carbonate minerals.

Minerals identified within the complex include apatite, monazite, stronianite and synchysite which host LREE, as well as zircon and monazite which host HREE.

Carbonate rock from this complex could also provide a neutralising agent for mine and process water from other operations in the region.

Analysis of geophysical data from Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite/dyke geological units has confirmed this complex to be far more extensive than previously known which is further encouragement for potential REE and sulphide mineralisation. A historical helicopter-borne electromagnetic (Dighem) survey defined seven conductive targets which are recommended for follow up exploration and ground truthing.

Petrological and mineralogical determinations are continuing and will be used as a guide for future exploration.

GRØNNEDAL-IKA DRILL CORE SAMPLES

Samples of core from three of the diamond cored holes drilled in the Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite complex in the 1940s returned very significant analysis for rare earth elements with up to 22,695ppm total rare earth oxides (sample IVT 21 - 3). These holes were originally drilled to explore for deposits of magnetite (iron ore) which had developed in the contact area of later intrusive dolerite dykes.

Figure 4: Gr ø nnedal-Ika Sample (IVT 21 – 4) carbonatite, magnetite with assay results returning 203.8 ppm Eu2O3 and 1,245 ppm Pr2O3 from 2.8m

The magnetite intersections were shown to be narrow and intermittent but recent sampling has returned very significant analyses of light and heavy rare earth elements.

The results from Grønnedal-Ika have confirmed the potential for magnetically anomalous zones to be associated with REE mineralisation, which will be used as a guide for future exploration drilling. A priority for further examination will be splitting and analysis of samples from core drilled during the 1940s.

The Company is continuing to review its asset portfolio to assess ways to best extract value from its projects for shareholders, including a potential repositioning of assets to ensure an appropriate exploration and development focus can be maintained in relation to the Ivittuut Project.

RECENT EXPLORATION

A recent helicopter borne reconnaissance field program included collection of samples from the Ivittuut mine dumps and Grønnedal-lka carbonatite intrusive outcrops. Initial XRF field testing has returned promising results for rare earth minerals (ASX Announcement 17 November 2021).

Eclipse’s drill core sample analyses have provided additional significant information on the prospectivity of both the Ivittuut mine precinct, the carbonatite occurrence and mafic dykes. Availability of an extensive library of core from this project area will save considerable costs in providing a guide to future drilling to explore for REE mineralisation in this prospect.

Further surface samples from Grønnedal-Ika and from the Ivittuut low-grade waste dump have been received in Australia for analysis for REE elements, cryolite and quartz. The Company has received preliminary analytical (See application of Subsequent events above and below) results progressively from testing in due course.

This initial evaluation of drill core has provided significant additional information on the prospectivity of the GrønnedalIka carbonatite and mafic dyke occurrence. Encouraging silica analyses and REE results from the Ivittuut pit precinct provide strong encouragement for future development.

Identification of scarce heavy REE’s has cemented understanding of the uniqueness and polymetallic nature of the Ivittuut pit precinct. These results highlight the potential for much of the mineralisation within below the historic 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.

The results from Grønnedal-Ika have confirmed the potential for magnetically anomalous zones to be associated with REE mineralisation, which will be used as a guide for future exploration drilling.

A priority for further examination will be splitting and analysis of samples from core drilled during the 1940s.

IVITTUUT

Subsequent to the Period, on 9 March 2022 the Company announced preliminary assay results from grab samples collected at Ivittuut These samples returned highly anomalous total rare earth oxide (TREO) together with niobium (Nb), tungsten (W), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and silver (Ag) concentrations, further confirming the polymetallic nature of the Company’s Greenland project.

Laboratory analyses of two fluorite samples (I21007 and I21009) and one cryolite-fluorite-siderite sample (I21012) collected from the historic Ivigtût mine dumps 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.

Even though overall REE concentrations in samples I21007, I21009 and I21012, collected from the Ivigtût mine dumps are relatively low in TREO values, ranging from 2.26 to 161.44 ppm, the ratio of high demand heavy REE to light REE is considered to be very encouraging. The results in Annexure Table 1 confirm the polymetallic nature of the pit environment.

GRØNNEDAL-IKA

Also subsequent to the Period on 9 March 2022 the Company announced the assay results from grab samples collected at Grønnedal-Ika. Analysis of five magnetite-limonite-bearing ferro-carbonatite grab samples (G21010: G21014, G21016, G21017 and G21019) collected from the Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite complex returned highly anomalous light and heavy REE assay values, including:

  • 0.32% lanthanum, 0.83% cerium, >0.10% praseodymium, 0.43% neodymium, 0.07% samarium, 0.05% gadolinium and 0.06% yttrium (sample G21014).

  • 0.60% lanthanum, >1% cerium, >0.10% praseodymium, 0.82% neodymium, >0.10% samarium, >0.10% gadolinium and 0.86% yttrium (sample G21016).

  • 0.27% lanthanum, 0.73% cerium, 0.10% praseodymium, 0.39% neodymium, 0.07% samarium, 0.05% gadolinium and 0.05% yttrium (sample G21017).

A sample from a sulphide-bearing aplite (G21011) that cuts the carbonatite rocks returned:

  • >0.25% niobium, 34.00 g/t silver, 0.96% lead, 0.15% copper, 0.16% tin, 200 ppm lithium and 4.40% fluorine .

  • Anomalous heavy REE values such as 0.02% erbium, 0.03% ytterbium and 0.09% yttrium with overall anomalous TREO of 0.30%.

The multiple significant REE results obtained by the Company to date (see ASX release dated 2 March 2021 and 15 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 the Company of historic drill core from Grønnedal-Ika returned significant TREO up to 22.70% in sample IVT 21-3 (see ASX release dated 15 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 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.

Eclipse Metals Limited

Additional REE targets requiring field examination include:

  • (i) Certain aplite and pegmatite dykes that cut the Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite complex 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 on cryolite only. Further work, in particular drilling, is required to better define the economic potential of this greisen.

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

NGALIA BASIN URANIUM PROJECT – NORTHERN TERRITORY

The Ngalia Basin is centred approximately 300km west-northwest from Alice Springs and is considered highly prospective for sandstone and paleochannel style uranium / vanadium mineralisation.

Eclipse holds two granted exploration licences and six exploration licence applications in the Ngalia Basin (Figure 5), with a combined area of approximately 7,550km[2] situated within this extensive uranium mineralized region. To the north roll-front uranium mineralisation at Bigrlyi occurs in Devonian aged sandstones of the Ngalia Basin[1] with Inferred and Indicated Resources of 9,570 tons of U3O8 at 1,283 ppm and 8,930 tons of V2O3 averaging 1197 ppm at 500 ppm U3O8 cut-off. Other deposits within the Ngalia Basin include Cappers[2] with an Inferred Resource of 3,200t of U3O8, averaging 145 ppm U at 100 ppm cut-off and Napperby[3] with an Inferred Resource of 3,643 tons of U3O8 at 382 ppm U3O8 and 2,251 tons of V2O3 grading 236 ppm at 200 ppm U3O8 cut-off.

LIVERPOOL URANIUM PROJECT – NORTHERN TERRITORY

The Devil’s Elbow uranium-gold-palladium prospect in the Northern Territory is covered by EL27584, granted at the end of FY20 (Figure 6). Adjacent to this exploration licence to the east, extensions of the Ranger Fault and related structures are covered by four exploration licence applications. Combined area of the tenements covering this prospective area is approximately 1,464km[2] .

Eclipse’s exploration program is aimed to focus on the area around the Devil’s Elbow, Terrace and Ferricrete uranium prospects, concentrating on high priority areas defined by historical geochemical and radiometric anomalies centrally within EL27584 and relatively unexplored ground south of the Ranger Fault.

The Devil’s Elbow prospect has strong similarities with the Jabiluka uranium and gold mine discovered in 1971, followingup a low order anomaly from a ground radiometric survey. Jabiluka is located 20km north of the Ranger uranium mine, about 75km west of Devil’s Elbow. At Jabiluka, uranium and gold mineralisation occurs in an altered member of the Cahill Formation, proximal to reverse faulting structures with similarities to the Devil’s Elbow prospect.

Eclipse Metals Limited

Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2021

1. Significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general-purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with annual financial statements of the Group for the half year ended 31 December 2021 together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.

The half-year financial report was authorized for issue by the directors on 15 March 2022.

a. Basis of preparation

These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ’Interim Financial Reporting”’. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

This interim financial statement is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Eclipse Metals Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as the "Consolidated Group" or "Group"). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group.

b. Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary courses of business. For the half year ended 31 December 2021 the Group incurred a loss of $608,430 (31 December 2020: loss $154,714). Based upon the Group’s existing cash resources of $1,458,040 (30 June 2021: $1,808,695) and the ability to modify expenditure outlays if required, and to source additional funds, the Directors consider there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable, and therefore the going concern basis of preparation is considered to be appropriate for the Group’s 31 December 2021 half year financial report. In the event that the Group is not able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the normal course of business and perhaps at amounts different to those stated in its financial report.

c. Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, condensed notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of Eclipse Metals Limited’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 has been given to the directors of the Company on 15 March 2022.

Emphasis of Matter – Carrying Amount of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

We draw attention to Note 3 to the half-year financial report which shows the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation expenditure held as non-current assets as at 31 December 2021 amounted to $9,185,630. The recoverability of the carrying amount of the Group’s exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon successful commercial exploitation of the assets and/or sale of the assets to generate sufficient funds to at least that of their carrying value. In the event that the Group is not successful in the commercial exploitation and/or sale of the assets, the realisable value of the Group’s exploration and evaluation expenditure may be significantly less than their current carrying amounts.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter

Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern

As referred to in Note 1(b) to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. For the half-year ended 31 December 2021, the Group incurred a loss after income tax of $608,430 and has net cash outflows from its operating activities of $617,236. At 31 December 2021, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $1,458,040.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its planned exploration, administration and other commitments is dependent upon the Group raising further working capital and/or successfully exploiting its mineral assets. In the event that the Group is not successful in raising further equity or in exploiting its mineral assets, the Group may not be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and the realisable value of the Group’s current and non-current assets may be significantly less than book values.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of Eclipse Metals Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
