**On the quarter, Nova CEO, Mr Christopher Gerteisen, commented:**

*"The March quarter delivered strong operational progress at Estelle, with drilling at RPM Valley continuing to demonstrate the scale and continuity of the mineralised system, including the highest-grade intercept recorded at the project to date. These results reinforce the potential for both large-scale bulk-tonnage mineralisation and higher-grade zones within the broader RPM deposit.*

 

*"Importantly, we also advanced preparations for our antimony initiative during the quarter, with the successful establishment of the winter access snow road enabling the delivery of key equipment to site, a critical step in positioning Nova to evaluate near-term production opportunities.*

 

*"In parallel, surface sampling programs expanded the exploration pipeline across the Estelle corridor, identifying additional anomalies that highlight the significant discovery potential across the broader project area.*

 

*"We also announced our intention to redomicile to the United States, a strategic step to better align Nova with its predominantly U.S. shareholder base and enhance access to U.S. capital markets as we advance Estelle toward development.*

 

*"Looking ahead, our focus remains on integrating these results into the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study, progressing the antimony opportunity, and executing the redomiciliation process to position the Company for continued growth and value creation."*

**Nova Minerals Limited** (**Nova** or the **Company**) (ASX: NVA, NASDAQ: NVA, FSE: QM3) is pleased to provide an update on its activities at the Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project (Estelle or the Project) for the March 2026 quarter.

**Gold Assets**

Nova is rapidly advancing one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world, consisting of over 20 prospects, including four already defined multi-million-ounce gold deposits.

2025 Drill Program

During the quarter, Nova reported additional results from the 2025 drill program across the Estelle Project, including RPM Valley, RPM North and Korbel, further demonstrating the scale and continuity of the broader gold system.

Drilling at RPM Valley delivered multiple broad zones of continuous gold mineralization, confirming the scale and continuity of the system. Key intercepts included 65m @ 3.6 g/t Au from 83m (including a high-grade interval of 36m @ 5.5 g/t Au and a peak result of 0.5m @ 364 g/t Au), alongside 155m @ 0.9 g/t Au from 71m and 172m @ 0.8 g/t Au from 352m, each hosting higher-grade internal zones.

Additional wide intercepts, including 289m @ 0.7 g/t Au from 62m and 152m @ 0.9 g/t Au from 82m, further demonstrate the extensive nature of mineralisation at RPM, with multiple zones of higher-grade material within broader mineralised envelopes.

The 0.5m @ 364 g/t Au intercept represents the highest-grade gold intercept recorded at the Estelle Project to date, with visible gold observed in core. These results confirm the presence of high-grade shoots within the broader bulk-tonnage system and support the potential for both open-pit and higher-grade zones within the RPM Valley deposit.

Nova Minerals Limited \| ASX Announcement 2

Infill drilling undertaken during the program was designed to support conversion of existing resources to Measured and Indicated categories, with the aim of incorporating RPM Valley into the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).

![](ex99-1_003.jpg)

***Figure 1.*** *RPM Valley Pad 25-2*

 

Additional results from RPM North extended the mineralised footprint and confirmed broad zones of near-surface gold mineralisation typical of the Estelle intrusive-related gold system, with strong lateral and vertical continuity and several holes extending mineralisation below the current conceptual pit shell.

![](ex99-1_004.jpg)

***Figure 2.*** *RPM North hole RPM-080 2.4m @ 19.7g/t Au from 15.2m*

 

At Korbel, drilling results continued to demonstrate wide zones of near-surface gold mineralisation, reinforcing its position as a large-scale bulk-tonnage deposit and a key contributor to the overall Estelle mineral resource. Results highlighted consistent grade distribution and continuity across the deposit, supporting ongoing resource growth and future development studies.

Nova Minerals Limited \| ASX Announcement 3

Collectively, these results continue to support the potential for large-scale bulk-tonnage gold development at Estelle, which remains one of the most significant undeveloped gold systems globally.

Surface Sampling Program

Surface sampling results announced during the quarter identified multiple new mineralised systems across key prospects, further reinforcing the district-scale potential of the broader project area.

At West Wing, rock chip sampling defined a coherent gold-copper anomaly extending approximately 1.5km by 0.8km. Of 46 soil samples collected within the vicinity, 16 were greater than 1.0 g/t Au, and five were greater than 2.0 g/t Au. Of the 30 rock samples, eight were greater than 2.0 g/t Au, including three samples over 5.0 g/t Au, with a high of 15.5 g/t Au. West Wing also shows a notable copper signature with 16 soil samples greater than 0.2% Cu and three rock samples greater than 1% Cu, with a high of 6.9% Cu.

The anomaly is supported by consistent multi-element geochemical signatures and elevated pathfinder elements and represents a previously unrecognised target area within the Estelle district. The style and distribution of mineralisation indicate potential for a linked gold–copper system, warranting follow-up geological and geophysical work.

![](ex99-1_006.jpg)

***Figure 4.*** *West Wing Sampling - Gold*

At RPM, surface sampling returned several high-grade gold results, including values up to 24.6 g/t Au, with mineralisation defined along the ridgeline and extending westward. These results expanded the known footprint of gold anomalism in the area and highlighted multiple priority zones for drill testing, with a focus on structurally controlled mineralisation and continuity along interpreted trends.

![](ex99-1_007.jpg)

**Figure 5.** *Sample E409201 – 24.6 g/t Au; Sample E405227 – 11.7 g/t Au*

Post-period, surface sampling at Portage Pass identified a significant new gold anomaly supported by seven rock samples grading >2 g/t Au, including a high of 14.3 g/t Au, and 10 soil samples grading >0.5 g/t Au with a peak of 1.8 g/t Au. The anomaly extends across a broad, coherent target area and is associated with favourable lithological and structural settings, including similarities to the nearby Korbel deposit style of mineralisation.

A detailed soil sampling grid is planned across the valley in 2026. Subject to the results, a ground-based induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey will be undertaken, following a similar exploration pathway to that which led to the discovery at Korbel. While stronger geochemical anomalies are present elsewhere at Estelle, Portage Pass represents a compelling target given its proximity to Korbel and the associated proposed infrastructure.

Feasibility Studies

PFS-level studies are ongoing, with METS Engineering undertaking additional metallurgical test work to build on the high gold recoveries achieved at RPM to date (ASX Announcement: 5 August 2025), Rough Stock Mining is conducting mining studies, and Whittle Consulting is completing optimization studies.

**Antimony Assets**

Following the award of US$43.4 million from the U.S. Department of War (DoW), Nova initiated its plan to develop antimony production in Alaska. The company is fully funded to establish a U.S. domestic antimony supply chain that would support U.S. military and consumer markets from late 2026 to early 2027.

Nova Minerals Limited \| ASX Announcement 6

With seven antimony prospects identified across the Estelle Project to date, permitted industrial land, government support, and plans for critical infrastructure in place, Nova is positioned to become a key supplier to the U.S. antimony market.

Winter Freight Delivery

During the quarter, the mobilization of equipment to the Estelle Project occurred via the Company's snow road, 150km from Willow, Alaska. Construction of the winter road commenced in early December, enabling the development of thick ice bridges capable of supporting freight loads in excess of 100,000 lb (45,000 kg).

Following receipt of the DoW Award in late 2025, Nova sought to procure equipment required for trail construction, airstrip expansion, and antimony ore extraction and processing activities.

Equipment was delivered to the Company's freight staging yard and logistics centre in Willow, where the major of mining and processing equipment has now been received. Equipment is being transported to site via ski-trailers using low ground pressure vehicles or is self-driven along the winter trail. To date, most of the equipment has departed the staging yard for delivery to the Estelle Project site.
