Eclipse Metals reported bulk sample results from waste rock from the historic Ivigtut cryolite mine. The company is currently conducting metallurgical test work to identify processes to produce a salable product from the mineralized waste material. The volume of the waste rock is estimated to be approx. three million tons, with the company now considering a ground-penetrating radar survey to better determine the overall volume of the mineralized material.
