Enova CEO Eric Vesel commented:
On our latest anomalous REE results in Juquiá alkaline complex
He remarked on the exceptional results from the Juquiá Alkaline Complex: "Our teams exploration work confirms highly anomalous rare earth element grades at Juquiá of up to 1,916 ppm TREO within tenement and up to 6,338 ppm in close proximity within neighbouring tenements. Encouraging results offer significant geological prospectivity and exploration potential of this project. Exploration activity at Juquiá is in its infancy, however what lies beneath could unlock the immense value we believe this complex holds. "
Enova Opens New Exploration Frontier at Juquiá Alkaline Complex
Enova is excited to announce results from its initial surface geochemical sampling program at the Juquiá Alkaline Complex, São Paulo, Brazil. Covering an area of 250 Hectares, the sampling campaign has revealed highly anomalous rare earth element (REE) grades on the surface. The confirmation of rare earth bearing soils with Enova’s Juquiá tenements provides encouragement for potential hosted REE targets. These results set the stage for more advanced exploration phases, aimed at delineating the scale, depth, continuity and economic viability of this strategically important project. The sampling program is summarised in the table below, Table 1.
| Type Sample | Project Area | Total Number of samples |
|---|---|---|
| Rock Chip Samples | Juquiá East and West | 14 |
| Soil Samples | Juquiá East and West | 66 |
| Total | 80 |

The company would plan to start a drilling program to test the depth of parent rock and continuity of potential REE mineralisation, alongside evaluating the potential for other metals. These steps are critical in advancing Juquiá towards becoming a key contributor to Enova’s growing portfolio of strategic mineral assets.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND TENEMENT OVERVIEW
The Juquiá Alkaline Complex is one of the numerous occurrences of circular complex intruded Precambrian (600-650my) gneissic basement about 127 my ago (Amaral et al, 1967) associated with Mg-carbonatites. It has an oval, non-circular shape, with maximum diameters 6km, covering an area of about 250 Hectare. It is enclosed by gneissic and migmatitic rocks and has a middle Cretaceous age around 130 million years. The primary lithology consists of olivine clinopyroxenite, nepheline syenite (Figure 7), olivine alkali gabbro, carbonatite, monzodiorite (SGB Geological maps). The intrusive has two zones. This external is characterised by the fluidal structure of apatite crystals. The second type of (internal) is ankeritic and dolomitic, with rare apatite. Accessory minerals are magnetite (Figure 8), barite, ilmenite, pyrite, monazite and pyrochlore (Walter et al. 2-8 July 1990)

|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Juquiá Alkaline Complex Project Surface sampling Program: Juquiá West consisting of 820453/2023 and Juquiá East consisting of 820454/2023 tenements where the areas were sampled at the outcrops and soils surfaces within the tenement by cutting channels, breaking rock chips and digging pit. Sampling was conducted on a predominantly 200 x 200-meter grid, collecting material from the first 15 to 30 cm below ground surface using a 9.8” bucket excavator and hand shovel). In most locations, a thin organic soil layer was observed, transitioning at depth into a clay- rich soil corresponding to the deeper horizon, depending on the lithology of the substrate. This same pattern was also observed in regional soil profiles exposed along road cuts and in the SOCAL mine area. The average starting depth for sampling was 25 cm, although in some locations, it was necessary to dig over 50 cm to reach the clay- rich deeper horizon. Rock samples were collected along with mapping and soil sampling activities. The sampling was conducted through chip sampling of outcrops and soil sampling based on visual inspection. Portions of fragments were randomly selected within the outcrop area to ensure the sample was representative of the rock outcrops. Superficial weathered parts, as well as adhered roots and moss, were removed. The process involved thoroughly cleaning and preparing the outcrops to ensure that the samples accurately represent the in-situ geological conditions. Each sampling site was carefully documented and photographed to provide a visual record for future reference. These photographs serve as an important tool for verifying the context of the samples and for aiding in the interpretation of the results. The systematic approach to sampling, combined with the thorough documentation, ensures that the data collected is robust and reliable. Samples were collected from outcrops of potential mineralised zone of middle cretaceous Juquiá Alkaline Complex. All samples were sent for preparation to the contracted laboratories, SGS Geosol in Vespasian,MG, Brazil. No drilling was conducted so far in the tenement area. Hence not applicable |

All samples collected by field technicians were meticulously packed in labelled plastic bags. They were then transported directly to the SGS- GEOSOL, Vespasiano in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The samples were secured during transit to prevent tampering, contamination, or loss. A chain of custody was maintained from the field to the laboratory, with proper documentation accompanying each batch to ensure transparency and traceability throughout the sampling process. Utilising a reputable laboratory further ensures the security and integrity of the assay results. |

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The tenements (Figure12) are held by RTB Geologia e Mineração Ltda, who filled transfer documents in favour of Rafael Mottin, at the ANM, Brazil’s National mining authority. The tenements are in the process of transfer to Enova Mining Limited (“100%”). The current exploration is conducted in tenements 820453/2023 and 820454/2023 in Juquiá, Sao Paulo and around the tenements with necessary permission from neighbouring owners There is no issue with the tenement holding and it’s good standing known to Enova Mining. Details of the Juquiá tenements are given in Table 2 and Figure 12 |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Juquiá Alkaline Complex project site was not earlier explored by any agency. However, the data such as geological map and geophysical maps in SGB (Geological Survey of Brazil) website covers the area regionally including the Juquiá Alkaline Complex project tenements |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Juquiá Alkaline Complex is one of the numerous occurrences of circular complex intruded Precambrian (600-650my) gneissic basement about 127 my ago (Amaral et al, 1967) associated with Mg- carbonatites. It has an oval, non-circular shape, with maximum diameters 6km, covering an area of about 250 Hectare. It is enclosed by gneissic and migmatitic rocks and has a middle Cretaceous age around 130 million years. The primary lithology consists of olivine clinopyroxenite, nepheline syenite (Figure 7), olivine alkali gabbro, carbonatite, monzodiorite (SGB Geological maps). The intrusive has two zones. This external is characterised by the fluidal structure of apatite crystals. The second type of (internal) is ankeritic and dolomitic, with rare apatite. Accessory minerals are magnetite (Figure 8), barite, ilmenite, pyrite, monazite and pyrochlore (Walter et al. 2-8 July 1990) |

| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • hole length. • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
The data and information of about the sample points are given below, Easting Northing and Elevation of the sample points are given in the Appendix B Table 3 The assay results are included in Appendix C Table 4A and 4B No drilling was conducted so far in the tenement area. Hence other information such as dip, azimuth, downhole length, intercepts are not applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high- grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
The Assay data has been compiled in the Assay table and TREO and NdPr% are given in the Appendix C, Table 4A and 4B. The database has been compiled as per industry standard practices and for the use of resource modelling in the next stage. The conversion of Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) will be calculated using standard conversion table as mentioned below. The conversion of elemental assay results to expected common rare earth oxide products, uses conversion factors applied relating to the atomic composition of common rare earth oxide sale products. The following calculation for TREO provides REE to RE oxide conversion factors and lists the REE included: TREO= (Ce1.23) +(Dy1.15) +(Er1.14) +(Gd1.15) +(Ho1.15) +(La1.17) +(Lu1.14) +(Nd1.17) +(Pr1.21) +(Sm1.16) +(Tb1.18) +(Tm1.14) +(Y1.27) +(Yb1.14) For the reporting of significant results, the nominal cut-offs of 1000 ppm, 500 ppm and 300 ppm have been applied for calculation of significant results. |

| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
No drilling was conducted so far in the tenement area. Hence not applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
The data provided in this report aids readers in comprehending the information more effectively. The document includes various diagrams and supplementary details, which enhance the clarity and accessibility of the geological findings and exploration results. Please refer to the Figure 1 to 9 for geology, rock type, magnetic anomaly tenement, sampling procedure related data and information. Figure 10 shows sample points and figure 11 shows the Juquiá tenement along with neighbouring tenements. Figure 12 shows locations in Juquiá East and Juquiá West project site respectively. |
| Balanced reporting | • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
The data presented in this report aims to offer a transparent and comprehensive overview of the exploration activities and findings. It thoroughly covers information on sampling techniques, geological context, prior exploration work, and assay results. Relevant cross- references to previous announcements are included to ensure continuity and clarity. Diagrams, such as sample point plan and tenements maps and tables, are provided to facilitate a deeper understanding of the data. Additionally, the report distinctly mentions the source of the samples, whether from olivine clinopyroxene, olivine alkaline gabbro, nepheline syenite litho units to ensure a balanced perspective. This report represents the exploration activities and findings without any undue bias or omission. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating |
The report includes geochemical survey assay results and regional geology descriptions. There is no additional substantive, relevant and significant exploration data to report currently. |

| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive |
In the current stage, geochemical surface sampling is focused on systematically mapping and surface sampling to identify in any potential anomalous zone of target mineralisation. In the next stage detail geological mapping, geophysical survey and test drilling may be undertaken to test the targets, reducing geological uncertainty and in order to improve the confidence and accuracy of the target definition. Diagrams and figures in the current document are highlighting the outcomes of surface sampling and identify high anomalous zones. |
