Nova Minerals Reports Strong Gold Exploration Progress

Nova Minerals Quarterly Update Highlights
Nova Minerals Limited, a rising star in the resources sector, recently unveiled impressive findings from its surface exploration program. The exploration delivered high-grade gold drill results, including an astounding 29 meters grading 7.1 g/t Au from surface. Additionally, rock samples returned gold grades up to 141 g/t Au, alongside notable antimony results reaching up to 56.7% Sb.
Exploration Progress at Estelle Project
The Estelle Project continues to be at the forefront of Nova’s operations. During the recent quarter, the company received assay results from various drilling endeavors. The RPM drilling, alongside surface samples from the Muddy Creek, Styx, and Stibium prospects, has showcased substantial continuity in high-grade mineralization. The forthcoming results from the Stoney and Wombat areas are eagerly awaited.
Exciting Gold Results and Future Potential
Following a highly targeted exploration program, there have been numerous highlights from the RPM deposit. The drill program, consisting of 21 holes executed with a company-owned Reverse Circulation rig, aimed to advance the pre-feasibility stage drilling. Significant intersections from the program include:
- RPMRC-24005: 43m @ 4.4 g/t Au from 2m, with highlights of 13m @ 10.7 g/t Au.
- RPMRC-24016: 39m @ 5.4 g/t Au from surface, 20m @ 10.2 g/t Au from 5m.
- RPMRC-24017: 29m @ 7.1 g/t Au from surface, including a remarkable 2m @ 52.7 g/t Au.
These results confirm the ongoing potential of the RPM North area and generate confidence in the future resource estimates.
Antimony Exploration Developments
NOVA is not just a gold player; its antimony prospects are showing promise as well. At the Stibium prospect, follow-up sampling revealed a long mineralized zone highlighted by samples surpassing 30% Sb, with an impressive high of 56.7% Sb observed.
Another significant finding is linked to the Styx area, where high-grade antimony in outcrops has been recorded, indicating the breadth of Nova's potential exploration avenues. This exploration is crucial, especially considering the global trends and demand for critical minerals.
Corporate Strategies and Financial Health
NOVA’s recent corporate maneuvers, including the sale of its shares in Snow Lake Resources, have bolstered the company’s balance sheet significantly. Following the sale, the company now possesses approximately A$16 million in cash. Additionally, by converting a significant portion of convertible debt into ordinary shares, Nova is poised to operate free of such debts, fostering a stronger foundation for future explorations and potential expansions.
Looking Ahead
NOVA Mineral's strategic focus for the upcoming quarter includes continuing its surface assay methods, finalizing results for the RPM exploration program, and updating its mineral resource estimates both to JORC and S-K 1300 standards. Environmental and metallurgical test work is also underway, highlighting the company’s commitment to advancing towards sustainable resource extraction.
