ENOVA TO PROCEED WITH ACQUISITION OF HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE CODA TENEMENTS

Enova Mining Ltd (ASX: ENV) is pleased to announce commitment to proceed with the acquisition of the CODA project tenements[1] .

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Due Diligence of the CODA project tenements, led by experienced geologist Fernando Moya and team, is complete. The study included geological field investigations, sighting of historical drill collars, research of available data and checks regarding the status/ownership of tenements.

  • Due Diligence confirms the regional prospectivity of the CODA tenements, by observing the presence of important geological features that correlate with mineralised high-grade surface/near surface rare earth element (REE) zones identified from historical drilling information .

  • Initial review of CODA suggests the ore is to be amendable to Ionic Clay Extraction[2] . Enova is in discussions with leading rare earth technology companies and will explore conventional and non-conventional proprietary technology to extract maximum value.

  • The CODA project tenements include extensive historical drilling with continuous geological/mineralised structures that could support a district-sized IAC REE system across all tenements . Substantive drill intercepts are a basis from which resource drilling can commence.

  • Enova Directors confirm the CODA land package to be highly prospective and of exceptional exploration value . These assets provide a sound basis to expand the company’s operations in a positive mining business environment like Minas Gerais, Brazil.

  • Recent option conversion window provided Enova with further funds, bolstering its cash balance and remains fully funded to carry out phase 1 drilling[3] .

Enova Mining Ltd (ASX: ENV) (“Enova” or the “Company”) is pleased to confirm that the due diligence programme on the CODA tenements has de-risked the project opportunity and provided positive guidance to the Board, leading to the decision to exercise the Option Agreement and proceed with an acquisition of the CODA Project[1] .

Details of the Terms and Conditions for the Option Agreement can be viewed in our prior announcement “Option to Acquire Potential World Class District Sized Ionic Clay Rare Earth Project”, dated 26[th] February 2024. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, completion of the transaction is subject to Enova shareholder approval. Enova will finalise and distribute a Notice of General Meeting to shareholders as soon as possible. With shareholder approval, Enova can complete the transaction and complete the transfer of assets to a Brazilian registered company wholly owned by Enova.

The Board will promptly commence resource delineation drilling and nearby exploration drilling to determine the extent of these identified mineralised zones. Enova’s team has developed a drilling programme, for which field planning and preparation is currently in progress. CODA North tenements would be a priority followed by drilling at CODA South. (Refer to Figure 1 for a regional location map of the CODA tenements under option.) These exploration operations could be concurrent if equipment and personnel permit.

Enova welcomes the Option Agreement vendor as future stakeholders. Their experience and advice in establishing our business in Brazil will be invaluable and allow us to focus on realising the full potential of CODA.

Enova remains committed to the development of the Charley Creek rare earth project with ongoing activities proceeding without disruption. The Company will also continue to review further projects and business opportunities as they arise, as is the case with the projects in Brazil.

The market will be kept appraised of developments, as required under ASX Listing Rules and in accord with continuous disclosure requirements.

Approved for release by the Board of Enova Mining Limited
