ASX Announcement

STRONG RARE EARTH MINERALISATION IN GRONNEDAL-lKA AREA GREENLAND PROJECT

Highlights

  • Total rare-earth (TREE) of up to 34,400 ppm are recorded from grab samples collected at Gronnedal-lka carbonatite deposit within MEL2007-45 (Table 1). The carbonatite also provides a potential source for carbonate rock as a commercial by-product.

  • Europium has been recognised throughout the carbonatite intrusion at several times greater concentration than average for rocks elsewhere and many times that normally expected in carbonatites. Europium is in extremely short supply around the world.

  • Extensive faulting and fracturing associated with the intruding carbonatite are considered to have mobilised highly mineralised fluids extending into the surrounding rocks which has implications for further REE enrichment during alteration processes.

  • The Gronnedal-lka carbonatite contains the only known accessible source of carbonate rock in Greenland which could be suitable for neutralising acid mine and process water.

  • Carbonite products could be readily shipped from available existing wharf infrastructure at Gronnedal.

  • Strong correlation between the REE mineralisation and magnetic zones. Assay results greater than 4,000 ppm TREE are associated with carbonatites within the magnetic zones or lie on the contact edges of the carbonatite unit (Table 1).

Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX: EPM ) ( Eclipse Metals or the Company ) is pleased to announce the REE laboratory assay results for historic surface samples collected at Gronnedal-lka within its MEL2007/45 licence located in south-western Greenland. The potential for REE mineralisation was not recognised during historical mining which supports increased REE prospectivity. The Company has identified the potential for untapped rare earth, high grade quartz, cryolite, siderite, sphalerite and carbonate material in the Company’s Ivittuut project.

This area has not been systematically explored for the commercial value of commodities but REE mineralisation of the complex has been well noted in academia (Goodenough, 1997).

ABOUT THE IVITTUUT PROJECT

Ivittuut located in southwestern Greenland, has a power station and fuel supplies to service this station and local traffic and to support mineral exploration. About 5.5 kms 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 also 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).

REE occurs throughout the carbonatite complex, especially in late-stage veins where it occurs as various strontium REE carbonate minerals. Europium (Eu) has been recorded from the whole intrusion with several times greater than average for rocks elsewhere in the Gardar Province and many times more than normally found in carbonatite – Eu is in short supply around the world.

Minerals identified within the complex include apatite, monazite, stronianite and synchysite which host LREE, as well as zircon a monazite which host HREE. (LREE = light rare-earths. HREE = heavy rareearths).

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

Ivittuut and Gronnedal-lka are situated within the alkaline igneous Gardar Province of southwestern Greenland which comprises approximately 12 intrusive igneous complexes including the well-known Kringlerne and Kvanefjeld REE deposits. These were emplaced into Archean gneisses during episodic continental rifting approximately 1300-1140 Mya. Ivittuut consists of an alkali granite stock with a microgranite roof capping of the cryolite orebody, whilst the Gronnedal-lka complex comprises nepheline syenite with a carbonatite plug. In addition, it has been observed that alkaline intrusives within the Ivittuut area contain a preponderance of heavy REE minerals, suggested to be the result of a potential regional mantle anomaly.

Eclipse Metals Ltd Executive Chairman Mr Carl Popal commented:

“The Ivittuut project continues to show the hallmarks of containing world-class mineral deposits.

These REE results show high europium values amongst other REE, which are in extremely short supply around the world. Many of these samples were collected from the carbonatite in Gronnedal, but the highly altered surrounding rocks also offer excellent mineralisation potential. The results show persistent content of REE.

Gronnedal-lka is known to have the only known carbonatite deposit proximal to existing port facilities within Greenland. The carbonate body of 2km by 1km could provide an ideal lime and limestone product for neutralising acid mine and process wastewater produced by other miners in the Greenlandic region.

ECLIPSE METALS LTD (ASX:EPM)

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 the industry to reduce pollutants. Historical exploration records indicate the potential for rapid development and production of cryolite, fluorite, quartz, REE, carbonate, zinc and siderite.”

INTERPRETATION OF GEOCHEMCIAL ASSAY DATA

Documented fieldwork confirmed the presence of high-grade rare earth mineralisation over the Gronnedallka area. The mineralisation is more widespread than originally believed with significant exploration upside. Samples were collected from both the older syenites and the carbonatites along with late-stage veins and shear zones.

The carbonatite complex contains a series of north-east, south-west trending late-stage dykes. These are potentially major sources of REE. High grade mineralisation is also associated with different geological lithologies which include the carbonatite, brecciated gneiss, calcite veins and magnetite rich zones.

The work also confirmed the whole intrusion contains europium with a peak value of 423 ppm Eu in Sample G11009. Based on the assay results for europium (Eu), the values occurring at Gronnedal-lka are several times greater than the average for rocks elsewhere in the Gardar Province.

Some of the highest mineralisation was related to north-south carbonatite dykes and secondly the recrystallisation on the edge of cross cutting dolerite dykes. These intrusive dykes are characterised by

ECLIPSE METALS LTD (ASX:EPM)

shearing and fenitisation and can be traced over several kilometres northwards. Other later stage dolerite dykes which have undergone some remobilisation of magnetite also host REE mineralisation.

More late-stage carbonatite dykes and fenites are known within the area but have not been mapped or systematically sampled. These dykes can reach up to 10 metres in width and run for several kilometres in strike.

INTERPRETATION OF ASSAY DATA WITH TMI IMAGE

The magnetic zone identified by the Company’s re-interpretation work has a strike over 4km with a width in excess of one kilometre. Figure 2 clearly highlights the strong correlation between REE mineralisation and the magnetic zones. Generally, assay results greater than 4,000 ppm TREE are associated with carbonatites within the ovoid shaped magnetic responses or lie on the contact edges of the carbonatite.

FORWARD STRATEGY

Further work will concentrate on the main geological units such as the fenites, cross cutting carbonatite veins, local variations of the magnetic content and banding within the carbonatite units. A systematic geochemical survey will also be conducted on a close spaced grid for the purpose of defining targets for future drilling.

Radiometric data is sparse but the available traverses show anomalous responses over the carbonatites. As radiometric surveying is an important direct detection tool for REE exploration it is recommended that additional, higher resolution surveys be conducted over the project tenement.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

(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
Rock Chip samples
In 2011, Barnes and Associates collected 20 rock chips from the Gronnedal-lka project area. All
assay data is presented in Appendix A.
The rock chip samples are believed to be representative for the general outcrop in the area with
numerous lithologies tested for REE potential.
The rock chip samples presented in the report provide for context to continuation of REE within the
broader prospect that requires further investigations by Eclipse Metals Ltd. The rock chip locations
and assay data has been extracted from the historical reports. All samples were taken from outcrop
as there is little or no soil profile.

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.
Not Applicable
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.
Eclipse Metals records of the rock chip results were qualitative. The Gronnedal-lka area is currently
classified as early stage of exploration and no Mineral Resource estimation is applicable

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
Samples were submitted to SGS in Perth. Entire samples were dried, crushed and pulverised to 85%
passing <75 um., <3.5 kg
No duplicate samples were assayed.
Sample sizes are appropriate and typically range from 1.5 to 2.5 kg
The laboratory has internal quality control procedures to ensure a representative sub sample
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
The samples were collected by a highly experienced geologist with samples selected based on
geological observation in the field.
The rock chip samples were submitted to SGS Perth WA. The entire samples were dried, crushed
and pulverised to 85% passing <75 um. The rocks were analysed for the full suite of elements
including ;-
Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Ta, Sc, U, W, Sn and Nb with four acid digest
DIG40Q and ICPAES and ICPMS. XRF75V (Pressed Powder) and XRF780 XRF Fusion Ore Grade was
used if ore grade material was detected.
Some samples could be not analysed by low level XRF tantalum due to some materials being out of
scope with % levels of Zr, Zn, Pb or Sr. Tantalum on these samples reported by fusion XRF with higher
DL.
Acceptable levels of accuracy from these rock chips have been established.

that the information is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
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.
No aggregation methods have been applied
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’). _
