Eclipse Metals Posts Maiden 4.87Mt Hafnium Resource at Ivigtût

In-situ gallium, hafnium, and yttrium mineralisation had not been identified at the project until 2025, when Eclipse completed a diamond drilling campaign of 176 holes totalling 9,673 metres. Bulk sampling of broken stockpiles at surface in 2023 confirmed an average gallium grade of 39.2 ppm, and elevated levels of gallium, hafnium, yttrium, and zirconium support the interpretation of a fractionated rare metal-enriched granite system.

“This maiden Ivigtût MRE is an important step in repositioning one of the world’s most significant historical cryolite mines as a modern critical-minerals opportunity,” executive chair Carl Popal said. “The next phase of work will focus on mineralogy, liberation, and metallurgical assessment to better understand the mineral hosts and potential recovery pathways.”

The project area includes both the Ivigtût critical minerals deposit and the Grønnedal rare earths deposit. It is accessible year-round through a port facility adjacent to Eclipse's accommodation and office infrastructure.
