Ivigtût Project
The Ivigtût project in in Southwest Greenland was once the world's largest historical cryolite mine which has rare earth potential. The company has commenced preliminary drilling on 31 percussion holes. Early-stage samples of the unique mineral cryolithionite have been identified and provide encouragement for potential lithium mineralisation. Eclipse has also identified a possible economic resource from the substantial mine waste on site containing visible cryolite, fluorite, and quartz.
Grønnedal Project
Drill sampling has also been conducted at the Grønnedal project and early samples have returned encouraging values of praseodymium (Pr) and Neodymium (Nd). These early results indicate the Grønnedal carbonite complex could be significant on a global basis in respect of Pr and Nd content.
The company also holds an impressive Australian portfolio of more than 8,000 sqm over 19 mineral tenements in the Northern Territory and Queensland. These projects include prospective uranium and manganese assets.
