Nova Minerals Limited \| ASX Announcement 4

![](ex99-1_002.jpg)

**Scheme Consideration**

Upon Implementation Date, the consideration issued by US Holdco will be structured as follows:

● Shareholders
 who hold Nova Minerals ASX listed shares (other than the Australian custodian for the ADS
 Depositary, an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder or a Small Parcel Holder who has not opted
 out of the sale facility) will be issued one US Holdco CDI listed on ASX for every one Nova
 Minerals ASX listed share held on the Record Date;

● Shareholders
 who hold Nova Minerals OTC quoted shares will be issued one US Holdco Share to be listed
 on NYSE for every 12 OTC quoted Nova Minerals shares held on the Record Date (rounded up
 to the nearest whole US Holdco Share);

● Holders
 of Nova Minerals' Nasdaq listed ADSs will be issued one US Holdco Share to be listed
 on NYSE for every one Nasdaq listed Nova Minerals ADS held as at the Record Date; and

● Holders
 of Nasdaq Listed Warrants will be issued three US Holdco Listed Warrants to be listed on
 NYSE for every Listed Warrant held on the Record Date.

**Small holders and ineligible holders**

If you are a Shareholder holding Shares on ASX whose address is shown in the Company's Australian share registry as being in a jurisdiction outside Australia, Belgium, Israel, New Zealand, Panama, United Kingdom and the United States or who is otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive CDIs based on applicable foreign law, you will be deemed an Ineligible Foreign Holder.

In addition, Shareholders of Nova holding Shares on ASX who are not Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and who hold less than A$500 worth of Shares based on the closing price on the last day of trading on ASX prior to the Record Date will be regarded as Small Parcel Holders.

The Company intends to implement a sale facility through which the CDIs that Small Parcel Holders and Ineligible Foreign Holders are entitled to will be sold on market by a sale agent. If you are an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder or a Small Parcel Holder, on the Implementation Date of the Schemes the CDIs you are entitled to will instead be issued to a sale agent. The sale agent will sell the CDIs as soon as reasonably practicable on ASX and, in any event, within 90 business days following the Implementation Date and remit the gross sale proceeds to the Company's Australian share registry. The Company's Australian share registry must then promptly remit to you your pro rata share of the gross proceeds (after deducting any taxes which may be required and which the recipient of the proceeds are responsible for) from the sale of such US Holdco CDIs sold through the Sale Facility.

Small Parcel Holders may elect to opt out of participating in the Sale Facility and retain their ownership interest in the Nova Minerals Group by completing and returning the Small Parcel Holder Election Form, or making their election on the Automic Investor Portal, in accordance with the instructions on that form or portal page. Further information will be included under "*What if I am a Small Parcel Holder?*" in Section 3 of the Scheme Booklet and Sections 5.5 and 5.6 of the Scheme Booklet.

**Directors' Recommendation**

Subject to the Independent Expert continuing to conclude that the Share Scheme is in the best interests of the Shareholders and the Warrant Scheme is in the best interests of the Listed Warrantholders, the Directors of Nova Minerals unanimously recommend that:

● Shareholders
 vote in favour of the Share Scheme at the Share Scheme Meeting; and

● Listed
 Warrantholders vote in favour of the Warrant Scheme at the Warrant Scheme Meeting.

Each director of Nova Minerals also intends to vote all Nova Minerals shares they hold in favour of the Share Scheme and all Nova Minerals listed warrants they hold in favour of the Warrant Scheme, subject to the same qualification.
