Minas Gerais, Brazil
Coda Group of Rare Earth Project
Brazil’s Emerging Clay-Hosted REE Resource
The CODA Project is an emerging critical minerals opportunity located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, spanning approximately 15,000 hectares across eight strategically located tenements around Patos De Minas town with easy accessibility. The project is distinguished by its unique kamafugite clay-hosted mineralisation, with strong potential for titanium and rare earth elements (REE), alongside subordinate niobium enrichment. Situated within a geologically favourable corridor, CODA offers promising exploration upside in a region with growing interest in unconventional REE sources and critical mineral supply chain.
Project Highlights
- Delineating a significant REE Project
Large, high-potential REE targets in CODA North and CODA Central are currently under active exploration. - Co-Mineralisation Potential
CODA Project has potential for co-mineralisation of titanium, niobium and scandium which add significant value to the resource of the projects - Additional High-Grade REE and Lithium Targets
Four more prospective REE mineralised zones – CODA East, CODA XN, CODA XS, and CODA South await drilling, further expanding the project’s resource potential. East Salinas, Carai, Santo Antonio Do Jacinto and Resplendor located in Minas Gerais’ Lithium Valley are prospective lithium and REE regions and currently under field review. - By-products of Potential Economic Grade
CODA project contains potential economic grades of TiO2 by products. Other metals of potential economic interest would be scandium and niobium. - Experienced Leadership with Proven Success
Enova’s board and management bring a strong track record in flagship project development and corporate growth. - Cost-Efficient Exploration with Significant Upside
The company is executing cost efficient exploration with substantial upside potential, maximising shareholder value. - Strong Rare Earth Business Network
Enova’s directors have interests in rare earth refining, technical separation expertise and rare earth supply chain networks in Malaysia and internationally. This provides opportunities for Enova to supply REE product, form alliances or take advantage of technology outside current supply chains dominated by China. - Brazilian Exploration Experience
Enova’s local Brazilian team possesses extensive exploration and mining experience. The company benefits from their local insights and understanding to effectively explore and develop REE and Lithium resources.
Geology
The prospective geological unit present in the CODA project areas including CODA North and CODA Central, is composed of the Patos formation. It formed during the Upper Cretaceous period, when a massive volcanic event occurred in the western part of Minas Gerais state. The volcanic activity exhibited both effusive (lava flows) and explosive (pyroclastic deposits) eruptions. The predominant rock type in this formation is kamafugite, which is classified as an alkaline-ultramafic rock. High-grade REE are also further enriched in this formation by saprolitisation.
The prospective unit consists of a horizontal bed of kamafugite, which is 40 metres thick on an average, overlain by overburden that varies from 0 to 50 metres. Weathering processes with thick clay zones are prevalent throughout this profile, leading to the accumulation of REE closer to the upper part of the formation. The rocks within this formation are predominantly soft and friable, with an extremely fine particle size. These characteristics are considered advantageous for the exploration of Clay hosted REE deposits.
