Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B For the Quarter ending 31 December 2021
IVITTUUT PROJECT– GREENLAND
Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX: EPM ) ( Eclipse Metals or the Company ) is pleased to report its activities for the quarter ending 31 December 2021.
Background
Eclipse acquired mineral exploration licence MEL2007-45 in Greenland in January 2021. The project area hosts the historic Ivittuut cryolite mine and undeveloped mineral occurrences, including a large REE-bearing carbonatite deposit. Over 120 years between 1865 and 1985, the Ivittuut mine produced 3.8 million tonnes of high-grade cryolite for use in the aluminium industry from the world's largest known minable resource of naturally occurring cryolite.
Ivittuut 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 Ivittuut, the twin settlements of Kangilinnguit and Gronnedal respectively provide a heliport and an active wharf with infrastructure.
The Gronnedal-lka carbonatite complex is less than 10km from Ivittuut and only 5km from the port of Gronnedal. This complex is one of the 12 larger Gardar alkaline intrusions in Greenland and is recognised as one of the prime REE targets in Greenland by GEUS along with Kvanefjeld and Kringlerne (Tanbreez).
Six diamond holes with a combined length of 750m were drilled over 50 years ago within the Gronnedal-lka carbonatite intrusive and much of the core remains uncut and untested.
The Company has identified potential for untapped rare earth, high-grade quartz, cryolite, siderite, sphalerite and carbonate material at the Company’s Ivittuut project. Whilst well noted in academia (Goodenough, 1997), this area has not been systematically explored for other commodities, including REE mineralisation of the carbonatite complex.
Sample Results
During the quarter Eclipse continued to make progress in understanding Ivittuut’s quartz, cryolite and siderite mineralisation and potential for the Gronnedal-Ika carbonatite complex to host REE. Historical drill core from Ivittuut and Gronnedal-lka had been stored in a Greenland Government facility in Kangerlussuaq approx. 320km north from the capital Nuuk. The core is in good condition and well catalogued, enabling Eclipse personnel to readily identify the drill holes of initial interest and collect samples from selected sections for analysis in Perth. Eclipse received an initial batch of samples and submitted these to Perthbased laboratories for comprehensive chemical analysis (ASX announcement 7 October 2021).
On 15 November 2021 the Company was pleased to announce that analytical results had returned highgrade rare earth values and confirmed the project’s potential to contain deposits of high-grade quartz, cryolite, siderite, sphalerite and carbonate material.

Quarterly Report to 31 December 2021
Analysis by an Australian laboratory by ME-MS81, ME-ICP06, and ME-XRF26 methods identified multicommodity mineralisation within the project area. The very low uranium values, ranging from 0.7 to 24.3ppm, are well below the Greenland Government legislated maximum of 100ppm for mineral prospects.

Figure 1: MEL2007-45 with location of Ivittuut Mine and Gronnedal-Ika.
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 the Ivittuut mine precinct and nearby Gronnedal-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 Gronnedal-Ika carbonate returned values up to 22,695ppm total REO.
Samples from Gronnedal-Ika and Ivittuut have also returned significant analyses for Niobium, Tungsten (W) and Strontium – see Summary table below.

Table A. Summary of significant REO and metal drill core assay results.
Analysis of Eclipse’s drill core samples has provided additional significant information on the prospectivity of both the Ivittuut mine environ and the carbonatite occurrence with related mafic dykes. Availability of an extensive core library from this project area will save considerable costs in providing a guide to future drilling to delineate REE mineralisation.
IVITTUUT SAMPLES
Samples of diamond drill core from the historical Ivittuut cryolite pit returned high grades of SiO2 (silica) (Table B) plus, unexpectedly, significant values for rare earth elements. Evaluation of the quartz body below the cryolite pit is a primary aim of exploration.
This area has not been systematically explored for other commodities, including REE mineralisation. 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 (Table B).
A sample from the Ivittuut pit environment also returned a high Tin of grade of 3.54% Sn.

Quarterly Report to 31 December 2021
Eclipse’s ASX announcement dated 2 March 2021 described a magnetically anomalous zone identified by the Company’s geophysical re-interpretation. Strong correlation between REE mineralisation and magnetic zones will be used as the main geophysical indicator in exploration for further REE mineralisation.
Historical sampling results also indicate very high europium values compared with other REE deposits. 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 Gronnedal-lka. The REE prospectivity fits well with our mission to excel in the commercialisation of metals and minerals demanded in the production of green energy and required by industry to reduce pollutants. Historical exploration records indicate the potential for rapid development and production of cryolite, fluorite, quartz, REE, carbonate rock, zinc and siderite.
Recent Exploration and Field XRF Results
A recent helicopter borne reconnaissance field program included collection of samples from the Ivittuut mine dumps and the Gronnedal-lka carbonatite intrusive outcrops. These samples have been submitted to a local laboratory for comprehensive analysis. Results will be announced to the market when received.

GRONNEDAL-IKA AND IVITTUUT SAMPLES
Samples from three of the diamond cored holes drillied in the Gronnedal-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. (Table C below).

Analysis by an Australian laboratory by ME-MS81h, ME-ICP61 and Zn-OG62 methods identified multicommodity mineralisation within the project area. Very low uranium values ranging from 0.7 to 24.3ppm were recorded, which are well below the Greenland Government’s recently legislated maximum of 100ppm.
Samples from Gronnedal-Ika and Ivittuut have returned anomalous and significant analyses for praseodymium (Pr), zinc (Zn), tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) in addition to anomalous TREO values from the Ivittuut pit precinct – see summary Table C below.

Forward Looking Statement
The reconnaissance field program completed last quarter included collection of samples from the Ivittuut mine dumps and Gronnedal-lka carbonatite intrusive outcrops. These samples have been submitted to a local laboratory for comprehensive analysis, which will contribute to further understanding of the REE mineralisation and likely controls on mineralisation. The company is planning further field work to consist of geological mapping, ground gravity and magnetometer surveys and three-dimensional geophysical inversion modeling for sub-surface targets to assist with planning, as well as a comprehensive drilling program.
NORTHERN TERRITORY PROJECTS
During the quarter Eclipse advised that, in line with the Company’s strategy to focus on maximising key assets, it had executed a binding Heads of Agreement with Oz Yellow Uranium Limited (ACN 651 734 600) ( Oz Yellow ), whereby Eclipse conditionally agreed to sell its interests in certain Northern Territory tenements, its Ngalia Basin Uranium Prospects and the Liverpool Uranium Project ( NT Projects ), to Oz Yellow ( Proposed Transaction ).
The sale of the NT Projects remains subject to a number of conditions precedent, including the parties obtaining all shareholder and regulatory approvals to give effect to the Proposed Transaction (including ASX finding the structure of Oz Yellow to be acceptable), Oz Yellow receiving application to subscribe for Oz Yellow Shares to raise at least $20 million under an Initial Public Offer (IPO) and Oz Yellow receiving conditional approval from ASX regarding its admissions to the official list of the ASX.
Under the Proposed Transaction, Eclipse will receive 60% of all fully paid ordinary shares in Oz Yellow upon its listing on the ASX, half of which will be distributed in specie to Eclipse shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholding in Eclipse, providing Eclipse and its shareholders the opportunity to maintain exposure to the NT Projects via its equity interest in Oz Yellow. Eclipse will also receive $255,000 from Oz Yellow in cash and a 4% NSR royalty. Eligible Eclipse shareholders will also have the opportunity to increase their exposure to the NT Projects by participating in a top up offer to be included as part of Oz Yellow’s IPO.
It is anticipated that Oz Yellow will undertake the IPO and seek a listing onto the official list of the ASX with a prospectus to be lodged in February 2022. The IPO will raise at least $20 million (before costs) at an issue

ECLIPSE METALS LTD (ASX:EPM)
Quarterly Report to 31 December 2021
price of $0.20 per share, with at least $2 million to be reserved for Eclipse shareholders under a separate top up offer to be included in the prospectus. The Company understands that Oz Yellow has entered into a conditional binding mandate with Petra Capital Pty Ltd to act as sole lead manager, sole underwriter and sole book runner to the IPO. The Proposed Transaction will require approval of the Company’s shareholders under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 11.4.1(b) ( Shareholder Approval ). The Company proposes to hold a general meeting in order to obtain the Shareholder Approval in due course.
Oz Yellow is a recently incorporated Australian public company which upon completion of the Proposed Transaction will have a dedicated board and management team, with its sole focus being on exploration and development of the NT Projects.
