"We are pleased to have now completed the acquisition of a 75% interest in Eclipse,” said Empire director Mike Struthers.
“The results to date have been very encouraging and we believe this acquisition will create shareholder value as we continue to assess the potential economic mineralisation and a profitable open pit operation."
