Enova Mining (ASX: ENV) has reported outstanding assays from maiden exploration at its CODA Central target in Brazil including multiple high-grade intercepts exceeding 15% titanium dioxide, while also enhancing the project’s rare earth element (REE) potential.

The company carried out broad-spaced drilling of six holes over 4 square kilometres of a total area of 20 sq km to provide critical insights into the extent and continuity of mineralisation within the north-western part of the tenement.

Enova confirmed all drill holes at CODA Central ended in mineralisation, indicating significant potential for deeper extensions.

Consistent mineralisation

Results from reverse circulation and diamond drilling demonstrated consistent, large-scale mineralisation, with a highlight of 38 metres at 11.13% titanium dioxide from 7m including 17m at 13.5% from 8m and 4m at 17.5% from 14m.

Other best assays were 26m at 12.6% titanium dioxide from 24m including 19m at 14.02% from 27m and 7m at 15.9% from 32m, along with 29m at 9.43% titanium dioxide from 20m including 10m at 12.92% from 21m and 3m at 15.2% from 25m.

The continuity of high-grade titanium and REE mineralisation throughout the drilled intervals suggests substantial upside beyond the current end-of-hole depths and reinforced the project’s strong growth potential.

Significant zone

Enova chief executive officer Eric Vesel said CODA Central continued to emerge as a significant titanium and REE zone to complement the company’s growing portfolio of critical mineral assets.

“These latest drill results build on our titanium mineralisation discoveries at the greater CODA project and show that the scale and continuity of this system continue to expand,” he said.

“As we advance exploration across our key projects, we believe Enova is well positioned to define substantial titanium and rare earth resources, which is a key foundation for project development.”

Resource potential

Mr Vesel said the results had strengthened Enova’s confidence in the area’s resource potential.

The company has already begun planning for its next phase of exploration to expand and further define the deposit.

“We are committed to unlocking the full potential of CODA Central as part of a broader strategy to expand our critical minerals portfolio and support the growing demand for high-tech and green energy applications,” he said.
