The suspension of trading in the securities of Enova Mining Limited will be lifted immediately following the release by ENV of an announcement regarding an acquisition of a mineral project.

Enova has entered into a binding option agreement to acquire 100% of the CODA prospect with a combined area of 15,334 Ha or 153.3 sq.km. To date eleven shallow auger holes were drilled within the CODA prospect. Mineralisation remains open in all directions and at depth, with grades significantly increasing at depth. The Option Agreement is subject to a 30-day Due Diligence period, with acquisition subject to Shareholder Approval. The CODA tenements offer an immediate walkup drilling opportunity to commence an aggressive exploration campaign with a ready to mobilize on-ground team. The tenements are strategically located nearby to well-developed highways, infrastructure, water access, hydro-electric/wind power and proximity to regional centres, 300km north-west of Belo Horizonte in the mining friendly state of Minas Gerais. Enova has received firm commitments from investors requesting to exercise options, thus bolstering its cash balance and remains fully funded to carry out Phase 1 Exploration and Drilling at both POÇOS and its newly optioned CODA tenements. Option conversion will be conducted at end of each calendar month.

The securities of Enova Mining Limited will be suspended from quotation immediately under Listing Rule 17.2, at the request of ENV, pending the release of an announcement regarding a potential acquisition of an advanced mineral exploration project.
