HIGHLIGHTS

IVIGTÛT AND GRØNNEDAL, GREENLAND

  • Maiden trenching program returns rare earth element (REE) mineralisation in all 52 trenches completed at Grønnedal
  • Trench sample assays confirm high neodymium oxide (Nd2O5) ratios of up to 56% of total rare earth oxides (TREO) with an average of 31%
  • Pr+Nd assay results account for 60% of calculated TREO, indicating that the Grønnedal mineralisation is enriched in the more valuable REE of Pr and Nd
  • Maiden drilling program at Grønnedal returns rare earth element (REE) mineralisation for full length of all drill holes
  • Drilling results confirm high ratios of up to 50% of praseodymium and neodymium (Pr+Nd).
  • REE mineralisation at Grønnedal is widespread and deep-seated
  • Potentially valuable polymetallic mineralisation identified in waste rock from the historic Ivigtût cryolite mine.
  • The large volume of mineralised waste material could be processed to create concentrates containing silver, zinc, gallium, copper, lead and gold.
