PROJECTS
Juquiá Carbonatite Complex
The Juquiá alkaline carbonatite complex is situated 150 km southwards from Sao Paulo. This circular complex intruded Precambrian (600-650my) gneissic basement 127 my ago (Amaral et al., 1967)
The Juquiá Complex, in particular, stands out due to its diverse mineralogy, which includes not only REEs but also niobium, phosphates, and other strategic minerals. These elements are crucial for various high-tech and green technologies, including electronics, renewable energy systems, and advanced manufacturing processes.

Juquiá Rare Element Project
Juquiá
- Geological Significance: The Juquiá Alkaline Complex is a notable geological formation located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, characterised by its unique alkaline rock composition.
- Mineral Diversity: It hosts a variety of rare minerals and is known for its potential deposits of rare earth elements (REEs), apatite, niobium and other valuable minerals.
- Exploration Potential: The complex is a focus of ongoing geological study and exploration due to its promising mineralisation and potential economic value.
- Project Development Opportunity: The successful development of the Juquiá Carbonatite Complex could significantly bolster Brazil as well as Enova's position in the global REE market, contributing to the supply chain of critical materials essential for modern technological advancements.
- Exploration: Maiden surface geochemical survey completed in July 2024
