Join us as we speak with Carl Popal, Executive Chairman of Eclipse Metals (ASX:EPM), to explore the strategic importance of rare earths and why Greenland is emerging as a critical jurisdiction for Western supply chains. Popal breaks down the company’s flagship Ivigtût-Grønnedal Project, its scale, history and geopolitical relevance.
Key topics discussed:
- Why Greenland matters: A Western-aligned jurisdiction offering ethical, low-impact sources of critical minerals amid tightening global trade tensions.
- A major carbonatite rare earth system: The Grønnedal deposit hosts 89 million tonnes with enriched NDPR content, starting from surface and remaining open at depth.
- Historic Ivigtût pit: Once the world’s only commercial cryolite mine, now redefined for high-purity silica and critical minerals alongside significant rare earth mineralisation.
