  • 120-year mining history

  • Produced 3.8 million tons of cryolite for use in aluminium production (Bondam, J, 1991)

  • Grønnedal-Ika carbonatite complex

  • Known to host rare earth elements (REE)

Eclipse identified undiscovered polymetallic potential and acquired licence in January 2021; initial fieldwork program approved in May 2021

Ivittuut and Grønnedal-Ika found to contain:

1. Industrial minerals in existing Ivittuut pit: ▪ Cryolite

  • Fluorite

  • High silica-grade quartz (99.9% SiO2) (ASX release 6 April 2022)

  • Zinc and Iron

2. REE mineralisation:

  • In and surrounding Ivittuut pit

  • At Grønnedal prospect

  • REE is increasing in demand due to new technology uses (electric vehicles, electronics)

3. Lithium potential

  • Grab samples return up to 430ppm Li2O (refer ASX release 23 March 2022)

4. Tailings and dumps stockpiles - short-term cashflow opportunity

  • Grønnedal-lka contains a source of carbonatite minerals and rare earth elements

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

  • Eclipse could ship carbonate from existing Grønnedal port

  • Grønnedal is a prime REE target in Greenland

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

  • REE mineralisation occurs through the complex, especially in the late-stage veins where it occurs as various strontium REE carbonate minerals.

  • Carbonatite body is 2km by 1km, offering potentially large tonnages of carbonate rock.

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.
