ASX Announcement

HIGH-GRADE QUARTZ MINERALISATION DELINEATED BELOW IVITTUUT PIT

Highlights

  • High Silica Grade quartz zone beneath Ivittuut Pit delineated using 3D modelling based on analysis of historica ~~l~~ diamond drilling.

  • Extensive body of high-grade quartz in Domain 3 intersected below the cryolite-fluorite zone Domain 1 and iron-zinc zone Domain 2. Averaged drill intersections include:

  • Drill Hole 153 – 54m @ 97.6% SiO2 from 32m

  • Drill Hole 165 – 24m @ 93.2% SiO2 from 12m

  • Drill Hole 165 – 53m @ 94.8% SiO2 from 45m

  • Analyses of individual 3m intervals of high-grade quartz mineralisation include:

  • Drill Hole 153 – 99.60% SiO2 from 32m

  • Drill Hole 153 – 99.33% SiO2 from 59m

  • o Drill Hole 153 – 99.98% SiO2 from 80m

  • Drill Hole 153 – 99.94% SiO2 from 86m

  • o Drill Hole 165 – 99.72% SiO2 from 66m o Drill Hole 165 – 99.13% SiO2 from 81m o Drill Hole 165 – 99.02% SiO2 from 89m

  • Significant Exploration Targets defined for the quartz mineralised Domain (Table 1).

  • The quartz zone forms a flat roughly circular intrusive body approx. 220m in diameter with a true thickness of approximately 90m.

  • The global quartz market has been projected to increase by 6.9% from 2020 to 2030 (Persistence Market Research July 2020).

This potential source of high grade quartz could be treated in Iceland where cheap power is available for refining in order to supply products used in high growth markets including solar, semiconductors, optics, lighting, telecommunications and microelectronics.

Eclipse Metals Ltd ( ~~A~~ SX: EPM ) ( Eclipse Metals or the Company ) is pleased to announce results of its ongoing evaluation of definitive historical exploration and analytical data for the Ivittuut open pit reported by independent mining consultants North Atlantic Mining Consultants Ltd. The results demonstrate high grade quartz mineralisation within the historical Ivittuut mine environment. Modelling of historical exploration data from the Ivittuut deposit indicate substantial economic potential within the pit.

WORK COMPLETED

Eclipse has relied heavily on geological maps, assay data and cross sections from the previous operators of the Ivittuut mine. Much of the historical quartz data for the Ivittuut Deposit sourced in open file reports from the GEUS portal required digitisation.

Cautionary Statement: 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.

Eclipse Metals Ltd Executive Chairman Mr Carl Popal commented:

To date, evaluation of historical data has unveiled massive economic potential for the Ivittuut project being the world’s only known commercial cryolite mine. It also has the potential for multi-commodity deposits of cryolite, fluorite, zinc, iron, high grade quartz and highly sought after rare earth minerals (REE).

This is a global leap forward for the Company to expand its interests with a unique opportunity to contribute to the growing demand for high-grade silica in the European market. This Project also fits the Company’s mission to excel in the commercialisation of metals and minerals demanded in the production of green energy required by industry in the reduction of pollutants.

Logistically, the deposits are located in close proximity to an existing port, offering significant commercial benefits in the delivery of its products to market. The global exploration target domains have delineated extensive tonnages and grades across all the commodities with REE exploration yet to be conducted.

EPM is now well positioned to deliver increasing value for our shareholders by being able to achieve cost effective results from assay of 19,000m of drill core from the Project area currently in storage.

DRILL HOLE DATA

Overall, 18 diamond drillholes intersected the body of the quartz zone Domain 3 (Appendix A drill collar file). In 2012, only two drill holes were analysed for quartz purity (Appendix B full assay results). Analytical data associated with each hole has been digitally captured to form a database.

The data was derived from laboratory analytical reports contained in GEUS Report 23656 and verified with historic cross sections and plans. Significant drill intersections derived from digitising the historic analytical data within the pit are shown in Appendix B .

==> picture [518 x 197] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Plan view of the Pit showing Cross Section (A to B)

The analytical data was reviewed in 3D and formed the basis for geological modelling. The high-grade quartz lies directly below the cryolite-fluorite and iron-zinc zones with the silica grade increasing below the iron-zinc zone in the northern portion of the pit (Figure 2). The zones with higher percentages of impurities coincide with the modelled zones of siderite (iron), sphalerite (zinc) and cryolite. Based on data from the two holes which provided a total of 54 samples; 24 or 44% of the samples were higher than 98% in silica. A 95% silica cut-off represents 61% of the samples.

GEOLOGICAL MODELLING

Geological domains were developed to represent the quartz in Domain 3. The quart ~~z~~ zone forms a flat roughly circular intrusive body 220m in diameter with a true thickness of approximately 90m. The modelled domain represents in-situ mineralisation that could be accessed 5m to 10m below the central cryolite-fluorite zone. Immediately below the open pit the quartz domain bulges out to the east and west.

ECLIPSE METALS LTD (ASX:EPM)

Exploration Targets ( Table 1 ) are based on actual Exploration Results from 18 diamond drill holes representing 1,764m of drilling within and around the historic pit. The assay data used include 1,062 analytical results. Bulk density measurements were assigned using lower value of 2.55 and upper value of 2.65.

Forward Strategy

Subject to COVID restrictions, the Company is planning activities to calculate a JORC Code compliant resource estimate for the Ivittuut project at the earliest opportunity. Further analytical work is required over the quartz zones as previous explorers did not assay all quartz intersections for contaminants. Numerous drill holes hosting quartz mineralisation will be systematically split and analysed for contaminants to enable calculation of silica content as part of JORC compliant resource estimation work.

Background Information on the Silica Industry

A constantly growing glass industry in Europe demands increasing amounts of appropriate raw materials, including the most important one: glass silica. High quality quartz is composed of silica which is characterised as having minimum 95% SiO2 and low levels of impurities. Quartz with higher contaminant levels is in demand by many industries.

Silica with varying qualities may be used not only for glass production, but also to make casting moulds in foundries; ingredients in ceramics; proppants in shale hydrocarbons extraction; fillers and extenders in polymers, paints and rubber; for water filtration and for many other uses. Quartz can also be the starting point for the manufacturing of water-soluble sodium silicates and other downstream silicon chemicals.

The global quartz market was valued at $8.23 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $13.61 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2020 to 2030 (Persistence Market Research July 2020). The EU market for quartz exceeds 30 million tonnes per year (including over 15 million tonnes per year for glass production), which is sourced through domestic production, especially in the Netherlands, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, the UK, Spain, Bulgaria and Belgium. Quartz resources for high-quality silica production are limited mostly to the above-mentioned countries, especially the Netherlands, Germany, UK, Poland plus Chechnya.

The price of quartz is based on the grade – simply put, the lower the level of impurities, the higher the price. The price can be adversely affected by the quantity and the type of impurities present (Table 2).

Table 2: Pricing analysis by Grade

Grade **Price Range ** Weighted ASP
Powder US$ 1,000 – US$ 1,500 US$ 1,276
Grade I US$ 3,500 – US$ 5,500 US$ 4,460
Grade II US$ 7,500 – US$ 11,500 US$ 8,975
Grade III US$ 12,500 – US$ 19,000 US$ 15,126

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure
of detailed information.
Diamond drilling completed within the pit area, totalled approximately 8,100m with 98% of core still
available in Greenland with core from two other diamond holes located in Denmark (refer to Table
1).
After selecting the cores, a mark was placed every 3 meters and the diamond drill core
photographed. A sample was taken at each mark by splitting the core in two with a diamond saw.
Each sample collected was between 150‐450 grams.
All information regarding the project has been downloaded from the Geological Survey of Greenland
and Denmark (GEUS).
Drill samples were analysed for quartz. Assays results are given as a percentage.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open‐hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face‐sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
_what method, etc). _
All information sourced from the literature has stated approx. 19,000m diamond drilling was
completed. No details of the drilling methods have been identified in the historic data. From the
information reviewed there was no information regarding core orientated or down hole surveys
taken during drilling programs. Most of diamond drill hole were drilled vertically into the pit.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
No information has been provided if the drilled metres were weighted with no sample recovery
numbers given within the reports.
Core recovery/sample data – yet to be determined.
Relationship between sample recovery and grade is unknown – no information has been stated
within the historical reports.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining
studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Geological logging was completed over all drill holes.
The geological logs appear to be relatively qualitative and quantitative in nature.
Photographs were taken of each sample submitted and are available in the reports.
Sub‐sampling techniques
and sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non‐core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet
_or dry. _
Some core has been sawn in half and some quartered. No details have been provided of the sub‐
sampling or sample preparation methods. Based on the absence of data, no comment can be made
on the appropriateness of the sample preparation techniques historically undertaken.
No evidence of control/procedures adopted for sub‐samplingstages.

All drill holes collars were reported as being located on a local grid system.
Adequate topographic control has been completed by digitizing the pit through surveyed cross
section to form a 3D Model
A total 262 survey points were digitized from the pit survey plan included in GEUS 20656; capturing
X, Y and Z coordinates. Additional survey points and pit profile lines were digitized as each data
source appeared to have a different interpretation of the pit surface particularly at the base of the
pit where undercut mining had taken place. Digitized survey points, where available, took
precedence over the other data.

Data spacing and distribut i Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution
is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Drill Holes are spaced between 10 and 15m apart within the pit area.
Data spacings and distribution at this stage are not satisfactory for estimation of a Mineral Resource
or Ore Reserve, as the quality of the drill hole data precludes its use for these estimations.
Quartz has been determined by subtracting the amount of impurities analysed in core samples.
Orientation of data in relat
to geological structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
Most holes were drilled vertically to obtain geological and structural information; some were steeply
inclined to sample mineralisation in the pit walls.
No information is known if the core sampling in the historic campaigns has introduced any significant
bias.

Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(eg cutting of high grades) and cut‐off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of
high‐grade results and longer lengths of low grade results,
the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
Modelling cut off grades for higher grade mineralisation:
Cryolite 2%
Fe 0.5%
There are three main flat to shallow dipping, mineralised domains beneath and
surrounding the lower portions of the pit.
Domain D1:
Cy‐Fl Cryolite and Fluorite co‐exist
Domain D2:
Fe‐Zn; iron (siderite) and zinc co‐exist
Domain D3: Quartz zone
Cy and Fl grades to be estimated within Domain 1
Fe‐Zn grades to be estimated within Domain 2
D2 is clipped against D1
No metal equivalent grades have been sourced from historic reports

Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not known’).
All drill holes intersect the mineralisation at an angle of approx. 90 degrees. Thus, the
intersections are close to true width if not 100% of true width. For example, in
places where the mineralisation is horizontal the drillholes are vertical.
Interval widths have been reported in Table 3 has been documented of the ASX release
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations
of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery
being reported These should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
All grades have been included including the lower grades and significant intersections
been reported within the release document.
Drill cross sections and 3D models have been included within the document.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is
not practicable, representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
The assay results have been sourced from the historical reports and have been
substantially documented
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.
The assay results have been sourced from the historical reports and have been
substantially documented
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large‐scale step‐
out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
Further work is currently underway for the incorporation of all quartz zones within the
pit area. Work will include data capture, re‐logging of historical drill holes, interpretation
of cross section and volume calculations.
