ASX Announcement
THE IVITTUUT PROJECT SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFERRED TO ECLIPSE METALS LTD GREENLAND
Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX: EPM ) ( Eclipse Metals or the Company ) is pleased to announce the Minister of Finance, Industry and Minerals Resources has approved the transfer of exclusive mineral exploration licence MEL2007-45 ( Ivittuut Project ) to wholly owned subsidiary Eclipse Metals Limited Greenland. The Ivittuut deposit is known as the world’s largest historical cryolite mine with rare earth potential.
The Company received a transfer addendum from the Greenland Mineral Licence and Safety Authority ( MLSA ) pursuant to submitting a transfer application following the acquisition agreement as per ASX announcement dated 14[th] January 2021.
Eclipse Metals Executive Chairman Mr Carl Popal commented: “ This transfer approval has been eagerly anticipated and is highly significant as it allows Eclipse to finally proceed with the transformation of Ivittuut mine and understand the true scale of the world’s largest and only cryolite mine with rare earth potential.”
The Company is now in the process of acquiring and compiling data collected from 1985 onwards by the previous mine operator, Kryolitselskabet Oresund A/S, and reported by well-known Outokumpu Oy Mining Consultants ( Outokumpu ). This source material is currently being digitised so that a preliminary JORC 2012 compliant resource estimate can be achieved within the pit area.
Multi-commodity mineralisation ( Figure 1 ) both beneath and surrounding the historic open-pit has been divided into domains which will form the basis of an economic assessment complying with the Australian Joint Ore Reserves Committee ( JORC ) Code.
Sample analytical data from a number of drillholes has been captured digitally and is being assessed for cryolite, fluorspar, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, S content.
Key milestones achieved to date include:
-
accurate pit and topographic digital terrain modelling (DTM);
-
validation of drillhole database including downhole analytical data; and
-
• development of mineral domain models
The Company looks forward to updating shareholders on the results of this analysis in the near future.
