Description of Activities Budget($,000)
Resource Drilling at Western DamA resource drilling programme is proposed to re-establish resources at Western Damand explore an undrilled region that separates Western Dam and Cattle Creek. 480
Charley Creek deep drilling programmeHistorically drilling at Cattle Creek has terminated due to the use of aircore drilling.High grades have been intersected from prior drilling in the weathered basementrock. There is potential for high grade in the basement rock which could also be thesource for the mineralisation above. The drilling will also explore a potential highgradepaleo channel to increase thegrade support for Cattle Creek. 170
Cockroach Rare Earth and Rubidium explorationIn 2008 fifteen diamond drill holes were drilled to a depth of 200m in ultra-maficgranites in the Cockroach area of the Charley Creek tenement. These holes weredrilled in search of uranium. The drill core has been lost but the companyhas all the 60

With this funding, Enova will expand its activities at Charley Creek, adding to the existing programme which commenced with funding raised through the Company’s previous placement announced in August 2023.

Update on Charley Creek activities

On 22 August 2023, Enova announced completion of a raised $1.5 million placement for the continued development of the Charley Creek project and for working capital ( August 2023 Placement ). Specifically, Enova allocated $1 million in funds raised under the August 2023 Placement for technical development purposes at Charley Creek.

Details of the work programme budgeted with the August 2023 Placement funding are set out in the Company’s 22 August 2023 announcement, and included:

  • resource estimation, mine optimisation and “Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction” (RPEEE)

  • bulk sample recovery from Cattle Creek;

  • bulk testing of heavy mineral concentration and concentrate assessment; and

  • saprolite/clay extraction tests for scandium and rare earth metals.

Updating the Charley Creek resource estimate and scoping study is a significant milestone to the project and for Enova.

The Charley Creek work programme is progressing as planned. Laboratory work is in progress at IHC Mining (Brisbane) on mineral characterisation, an additional step, added to improve and de-risk the forthcoming bulk heavy mineral separation test programme. Infill assays outstanding from the 2019 drill are complete and will be incorporated into an updated model as the Scoping Study is updated. Saprolite leach test work to recover scandium and rare earth is underway in Kuala Lumpur. To ensure available funding, Enova has budgeted and reserved funds for these purposes.

Of the capital raised from the August 2023 Placement and allocated to Charley Creek, approximately $700,000 has been spent on the programmes outlined above, as of 5 April 2024, with further work to be undertaken to meet the initial objectives.

The Company’s recent positive share price performance has enabled the Company to raise additional funds to explore further project opportunities to expand on the initial Charley Creek work programme and includes new works that were not budgeted for in the August 2023 Placement.

The Company will continue to update the market on further developments at its Charley Creek project.

Next steps for current Placement

Settlement of the Placement and issue of the Placement Shares is expected to occur on 15 April 2024.

A meeting of shareholders is expected to be held the second half of May 2024 to approve the issue of the Attaching Options.

An Appendix 3B in relation to the Placement Shares and Attaching Options follows this release. The Company will issue a cleansing prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth.) to ensure that the Placement Shares are free from on-sale restrictions under the Corporations Act.

Approved for release by the Board of Enova Mining Limited
