Eclipse Metals announced initial XRF results from a recently terminated, maiden percussion drilling and trench sampling program at its Ivigtut and Gronnedal project. Initial XRF readings were taken on selected composites before sample shipment for comprehensive analysis to Australia. pXRF readings taken on five 1.5m composite samples from drill hole L3-9, drilled at Gronnedal returned an average of 7.5m @ 0.8% La2O3+Ce2O3+Pr2O3+Nd2O3 (4REO), with praseodymium (Pr)/lanthanum (La) and neodymium (Nd)/cerium (Ce) ratios of about 1.2:1, as well as 0.49% Zn+Pb+Ni. First laboratory results are expected in Q1 2023.
