Ivigtut Bulk Sample Results

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.
