Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX:EPM) Reports Strong Operational Progress
Operational Highlights
Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX: EPM) announced notable advancements in its quarterly activities report for the period ending 31 December 2024. The company gained access to 19,000 metres of historical diamond drill core from the Ivigtût project in Greenland. This initiative aims to improve resource estimation.
The Inferred Classified Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) now includes 1.18 million tonnes grading 6,859 ppm TREO, suggesting strong potential for investment and development. The resource extends from surface to a depth of just 9.5 metres and remains open in all directions, offering significant upside.
Exploration and Resource Development
Eclipse is progressing towards securing a mining license for the Ivigtût and Grønnedal projects, backed by favourable feedback from the Danish Centre for Environment and Energy (DCE) and the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINR). The company’s resource at Grønnedal shows rare earth mineralisation over a substantial area, with continued geological mapping and petrological studies planned to enhance future drilling efforts.
Financial and Strategic Developments
The company is reviewing offers related to its Northern Territory uranium assets and is engaging in strategic partnerships to enhance its technological capabilities. Eclipse has also submitted an application for EU strategic project funding under the Critical Raw Materials Act to support its project development.
Future Outlook
The company remains optimistic about meeting its goals for progression towards the mining license and strengthening its position in the critical raw materials market.
