About Nova

Our Vision

To develop Estelle to become a world-class, tier-one, global gold producer, and to help secure a U.S domestic supply chain for the strategic mineral antimony

Who are Nova Minerals?

Nova Minerals Limited Australia and Alaska

Nova Minerals (NYSE American: NVA | ASX: NVA) is a dual-listed exploration and development company focused on gold, antimony, and critical minerals. Since 2018, the Company has advanced its flagship Estelle Project in Alaska from a greenfield exploration opportunity into a significant multi-million-ounce gold asset, while also demonstrating strong antimony and critical minerals potential.

The Estelle Project, in which Nova holds an 85% interest, is one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold projects. Stretching across a 35-kilometre mineralised corridor, the project contains more than 20 identified gold prospects, including four large, near-surface intrusion-related gold deposits. These deposits remain open in multiple directions and feature thick mineralised zones extending from surface, low strip ratios, and characteristics well suited to large-scale bulk mining using conventional truck-and-shovel methods.

Estelle currently hosts a global JORC-compliant measured, indicated, and inferred mineral resource of 9.9 million ounces of gold¹, along with an S-K 1300 pit-constrained resource of 5.2 million ounces of gold² based on a gold price of US$2,000/oz. Ongoing and planned drilling programs are expected to further expand the resource base.

Located approximately 150 kilometres northwest of Anchorage, the project spans 514 km² of mining-friendly State of Alaska land within the prolific Tintina Gold Belt. This globally recognised mineral province contains more than 220 million ounces of gold and hosts several major gold deposits and operations, including Kinross Gold Corporation’s Fort Knox Gold Mine.

In addition to its gold endowment, the Tintina Gold Belt is known for significant antimony mineralisation and was historically an important source of North American antimony production. At Estelle, Nova has identified antimony and other critical minerals associated with gold mineralisation across multiple prospects through surface sampling programs.

Supported by a US$43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War to help develop a domestic antimony supply chain, Nova is accelerating its critical minerals strategy and targeting initial antimony production in late 2026 to 2027
