Eclipse Metals Unveils Transformational 89MT Rare Earths Resource Increase at Grønnedal

Eclipse Metals Limited (ASX: EPM) (Eclipse or the Company) is pleased to announce a significantly increased Inferred Mineral Resource of 89 million tonnes at a grade of 6,363 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) at the Grønnedal REE deposit, part of the Company’s wholly owned Ivigtût multi-commodity critical mineral project in southwest Greenland.


Highlights

  • The inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) has increased to 89 million tonnes at a grade of 6,363ppm TREO, containing 567,600 tonnes TREO, using a 2,000ppm TREO cut-off.
  • This represents a more than 70-fold increase, significantly enhancing Grønnedal’s scale, strategic value, and resource potential.
  • The increased MRE incorporates analytical data from six diamond drill holes.
  • With an average grade exceeding 6,000ppm (0.65%)TREO, the MRE positions Grønnedal amongst the highest-grade rare earth elements (REE) deposits globally.
  • Notably, individual samples returned TREO values above 2%, including high concentrations of key magnetic REE such as: neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy), and terbium (Tb).
  • The mineralisation remains open in all directions, reinforcing Grønnedal’s strong resource potential.
  • The resource represents a small fraction of a large carbonatite intrusive defined by surface mapping, sampling, and electromagnetic surveys, with indications of continuous mineralisation from the surface to depths exceeding 500 meters.
  • The MRE reinforces a compelling upside case for development, strategic investment and long-term value creation.

Commenting on the transformational 89 Mt resource increase, Eclipse Metals Executive Chairman Carl Popal said:

“This is a transformational milestone for Eclipse and positions the Grønnedal REE deposit as a globally significant rare earths project. With 89 million tonnes now defined, and evidence suggesting we are only scratching the surface, Grønnedal REE has the scale and grade to become a cornerstone asset in global efforts to secure independent critical mineral supply chains. The MRE includes data from six deep historic diamond drill holes, all of which ended in mineralisation, indicating that the mineralisation potentially extends well beyond the current resource limits.

“Given the current geopolitical context and growing demand for clean energy technologies, we are fast-tracking plans for further drilling to delineate the broader potential of the Grønnedal carbonatite. As a small company entering a much larger strategic arena, we remain focused on delivering value to shareholders and progressing responsibly, with discipline and transparency.”

3 Best-performing Canadian Rare Earths Stocks in 2025

Rare earths are important for many of today's technologies and tomorrow's carbon-free economy.

Investors may not be familiar with the metals individually, but the group of elements is found in technology all around us, commonly in the form of rare earth magnets, which are used in everything from electric vehicles (EVs) to smartphones to wind turbines. As technology advances, they are expected to remain in high demand.

In 2025, the rare earths market is navigating a volatile yet strategically critical phase that is being shaped by supply concerns, demand fluctuations and intensifying US-China trade tensions.

Rare Earths Stocks: 5 Biggest ASX Companies in 2025

Prices and demand for rare earths have taken a hit in recent years. However, the long-term outlook for these important materials remains positive, especially given their precarious supply situation.

Rare earth elements are key metals for high-tech applications, including permanent magnets, which have widespread potential, especially in the technology and electric vehicle sectors.

With future demand looking strong, countries around the world are keen to secure rare earths from sources outside of China — which is good news for rare earths companies in Australia. Indeed, looking at the next couple of decades, the International Energy Agency notes that rare earths demand could double by 2040.
