Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX: EPM) (Eclipse or the Company) (ASX: EPM | FSE: 9EU) is pleased to announce that it has engaged BGR Group, a preeminent U.S. strategic advisory and government affairs firm, to support the Company's engagement with relevant U.S. government, defense, and strategic materials agencies, and to strengthen Eclipse's positioning within potential funding and partnership frameworks.
Under the arrangement, BGR will provide Eclipse strategic counsel and support engagement with the Administration, federal agencies, and the U.S. Congress, as well as provide guidance on pathways to financing support, commercial partnerships, and media visibility within the U.S. as the Company progresses the advancement of its multicommodity Ivigtut-Gronnedal critical-minerals district in Southwest Greenland, encompassing rare earth elements, high-purity silica, and broader industrial-mineral potential.
A Transformational Step in Elevating Ivigtut-Gronnedal as a Strategic Western Rare Earth Asset. Eclipse's Greenland portfolio comprises two complementary, highly strategic geological systems: Gronnedal: a carbonatite-hosted rare earth system with a JORC-compliant Inferred Resource of 89 Mt @ 6,363 ppm TREO, including significant Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb and Y potential, positioning it as one of the most significant undeveloped Western sources of magnetic rare earth elements. Ivigtut: the world-famous historic cryolite mine, now confirmed through drilling and sampling, to host a polymetallic, REE-enriched system alongside high-purity industrial minerals, including advanced silica quartz. Together, these systems present a dual-critical-minerals opportunity unique in the Western world, directly aligned with the strategic priorities of the U.S. and its allies who seek secure, long-term rare-earth and industrial-mineral supply chains.
About BGR Group's Role
Under the engagement, BGR will: Endeavour to engage the U.S. Congress, federal agencies, and defence-related bodies on Eclipse's behalf. Support engagement with funding and commercial partnership pathways, including U.S. government programs relating to rare-earth supply chain resilience. Provide strategic communications and visibility in the U.S. market. Assist Eclipse in positioning Ivigtut and Gronnedal as tier-one Western critical-minerals assets.
Strengthening the Trans-Atlantic Strategic Bridge
Eclipse continues to build momentum across both the United States and Europe, reflecting the growing geopolitical relevance of Greenland's critical minerals endowment. In addition to the U.S. engagement, Eclipse's European consultant has also made substantial progress in supporting the Company's broader policy alignment, industry outreach, and early-stage positioning within European strategic-materials networks. This coordinated trans-Atlantic approach reinforces the Company's commitment to operating its Greenland assets within a Western supply-chain framework, aligned with the objectives of the U.S. DoW, U.S. Department of Energy, and emerging EU mechanisms under the Critical Raw Materials Act
Eclipse Executive Chairman, Carl Popal, commented: 'The appointment of BGR is a significant milestone in strengthening the geopolitical positioning of our Greenland assets. Their experience operating at the highest levels of U.S. policymaking will be highly valuable as Eclipse advances its goal of establishing Ivigtut-Gronnedal as a premier Western source of critical rare earth elements. 'With simultaneous progress across the U.S. and European spheres, Eclipse is now better positioned than ever to translate our world-class geological foundations into strategic partnerships, government support and long-term value for our shareholders.'

ABOUT THE IVIGTUT PROJECT
Eclipse Metals' Ivigtut Project, located in southwestern Greenland, includes the Ivigtut Cryolite-Polymetallic Deposit and the Gronnedal REE Deposit. The project has favourable infrastructure, with a power station, and fuel supplies to service this station and local traffic infrastructure to support mineral exploration. About 5.5 kilometres to the northeast of the Ivigtut prospect, the twin settlements of Kangilinnguit and Gronnedal provide a heliport and an active wharf with infrastructure. The Ivigtut project's Gronnedal carbonatite complex prospect is about 7km east from Ivigtut and only 3.5km south-east from the port of Gronnedal. This complex is also one of the 12 larger Gardar alkaline intrusions and is recognised as one of the prime rare earth element (REE) targets in Greenland by GEUS, along with Kvanefjeld and Kringlerne.
