Ivittuut’s development opportunities:

1. Industrial minerals in existing Ivittuut pit:

  • Cryolite

  • Fluorite

  • High Silica Grade Quartz

  • Zinc and Iron

2. REE mineralisation identified:

  • In and surrounding Ivittuut pit

  • At nearby Grønnedal-Ika prospect. REE is increasing in demand due to new technology uses (electric vehicles, electronics)

3. Carbonatite deposit at GrØnnedal-Ika:

  • Carbonate rock used to neutralise acid mine and process water produced by miners

  • Associated with REE

==> picture [435 x 307] intentionally omitted <==

4. Ivittuut mine process tailings and remnant stockpiles - short-term cashflow potential

==> picture [164 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ivittuut was the world’s largest and only cryolite mine

  • Cryolite is a rare mineral used in aluminium production

  • Ivittuut produced 3.8 million tonnes of cryolite during 120-year mining history, ceasing in 1987 (Bondam, J, 1991)

  • Eclipse has identified high-grade cryolite-fluorite zones within and beneath Ivittuut pit using 3D modelling

  • Fluorite zone at Ivittuut is known to contain rare earth element (REE) mineralisation

  • Exploration Targets for cryolite, fluorite, iron, zinc and quartz defined for the Ivittuut Open Pit

  • Potential to process tailings and remnant stockpiles to extract cryolite, fluorite and REE – short-term cashflow opportunities

==> picture [477 x 294] intentionally omitted <==

  • Tailings & mined remnants to be assessed to determine volume and content of Cryolite and Fluorite as a possible resource

  • Grønnedal-lka carbonatite 10km from the Ivittuut mine, contains a source of carbonate rock and rare earth elements (REE)

  • Carbonate rock is suitable for neutralising acid mine and process water – needed for Greenland’s mining industry

  • Eclipse could ship carbonate rock from existing Grønnedal port

  • Carbonatite is associated with REE mineralisation – Grønnedal-Ika is a prime REE target in Greenland

  • Greenland hosts up to a quarter of the world’s rare earth minerals*

  • Grønnedal-lka carbonatite complex has potential for at least two types of deposits:

  • REE mineralisation occurs throughout the complex, especially in the late-stage veins where it occurs in various strontium enriched, REE bearing mineralisation.

  • Carbonatite body is 2km by 1km and can offer potentially large tonnages of carbonate rock.

  • EPM has demonstrated high silica grade quartz mineralisation at Ivittuut below the historic open pit.

HIGH PURITY QUARTZ (HPQ) MARKET VALUE SHARE (%), 2020

  • High silica grade quartz and high grade quartz sand is essential for production of photovoltaic (PV) products, in high-end electronics and semiconductors

  • End uses include silicon, quartz glass, optical fibre, solar cells and integrated circuit boards

  • High-grade is characterised by high grades of silica (SiO2 ) and low metal contaminants. Suitable for production of HPQ (high purity quartz).

  • HPQ market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from $671.62M in 2019 to $1.23Bn by 2027

==> picture [396 x 233] intentionally omitted <==

  • China has increasing demand for high-grade quartz , but is largely dependent on imports

KEY DRIVER: Growing Demand for Semiconductor ICs, Particularly Due to Rising Penetration of Internet of Things (IoT), Fueling Demand for HPQ

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are 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 drilling data and geological modelling.
