![](ex10-1_002.jpg)

Eligible persons are directors, officers and employees of, or consultants to, the Company or an associated body corporate and, in the case of consultants, may include bodies corporate. Participants in the Plan, the number, type and terms of any securities offered or issue, and the terms of any invitation, offer or issue are determined by the Board with the advice of the remuneration committee, if any.

Directors and related parties of the Company may only participate in the Plan if prior shareholder approval is obtained in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

The Board is to administer the terms of the Plan, including but not limited to determining the terms of securities issued, adoption of rules subordinate to the Plan for the administration of the Plan and the suspension or termination of the Plan.

The Plan is to be interpreted and applied in accordance with and subject to the ASX Listing Rules.

*<u>TERMS OF EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN</u>*

 

The key terms of the 2023 Employee Share Option Plan (**ESOP** in this Annexure A) are as follows:

(a) **Eligibility:** Participants in the ESOP may be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a
 Director (whether executive or non-executive) of the Company, its subsidiaries and any other
 related body corporate of the Company (**Group Company**);

(ii) a
 full or part time employee of any Group Company;

(iii) a
 casual employee or contractor of a Group Company to the extent permitted by applicable law;
 or

(iv) a
 prospective participant, being a person to whom the offer is made but who can only accept
 the offer if an arrangement has been entered into that will result in the person becoming
 a Participant under clauses (a), (b) or (c) above,

who is declared by the Board to be eligible to receive grants of Options under the ESOP or an approved nominee (**Participants**).

(b) **ESOP Limit**: The maximum number of securities which may be issued under the Plan from time
 to time is 19,000,000. Shares issued on exercise of an option or exercise or conversion of
 an interest issued under the Plan, and options which have been cancelled or which have lapsed
 are not counted in determining the number of Options issued under the Plan.

Nova Minerals Limited \| Director Share Plan 2

![](ex10-1_002.jpg)

(c) **Administration of ESOP:** The Board (or its delegated authority) is responsible for the operation of the
 ESOP and has a broad discretion to determine which Participants will be offered Options under
 the ESOP.

(d) **Offer:** The Board may issue an offer to a Participant to participate in the ESOP. The offer will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) set
 out the number of Options offered under the ESOP;

(ii) specify
 the exercise price and expiry date of the Options;

(iii) specify
 any vesting and exercise conditions and restriction periods applying to the Options (and
 Shares when Options are exercised);

(iv) specify
 an acceptance period; and

(v) specify
 any other terms and conditions attaching to the Options.

(d) **Issue price:** unless the Options are quoted on the ASX, Options issued under the ESOP will be
 issued for no more than nominal cash consideration.

(e) **Exercise Conditions:** Participants may only exercise vested Options by paying the Exercise Price.
 Vested Options must be exercised during one of the Company's trading windows (subject
 to the Company's Trading in Securities Policy). An Option may be made subject to such
 other exercise conditions as determined by the Board in its discretion and as specified in
 the offer for the Option.

(f) **Cashless exercise facility:** If determined by the Board (in its discretion) and specified in an
 invitation, the holder of Options may elect to pay the Exercise Price for an Option by setting
 off the exercise price against the relevant number of Shares which they are entitled to receive
 upon exercise or, if the circumstances are deemed appropriate at the time, the Company may
 cancel or procure the acquisition of the relevant number of vested Options in consideration
 for the relevant Exercise Price that would have been payable (**Cashless Exercise Facility**).
 By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the holder will receive Shares to the value of the
 surplus after the Exercise Price has been set off. If a holder elects to use the Cashless
 Exercise Facility, the holder will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to
 the nearest whole number) as are equal in value to the difference between the total Exercise
 Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market
 value of the Shares at the time of exercise (determined as the volume weighted average of
 the prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX during the one week period immediately
 preceding the exercise date) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Nova Minerals Limited \| Director Share Plan 3

![](ex10-1_002.jpg)

S = <u>0 x (MSP-EP)</u> / MSP Where:

S Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Options.

0 Number of Options.

MSP Market value of the Shares (calculated using the volume weighted average prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX over the one week period immediately preceding the exercise date).

EP Option exercise price.

If the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (calculated in accordance with the above formula) is zero or negative, then a holder will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.

(g) **Loans:** A Participant may apply for a loan to fund the exercise of Options in the manner determined
 by the Board. The loans may bear interest or be interest-free at the discretion of the Board
 taking into consideration, among other things, the likelihood of adverse taxation consequences
 for the Company. Upon expiry of the loan to the Participant, they will have the choice of
 either repaying the loan in full or selling the Shares. The Board may extend the period of
 repayment of the loan where it sees fit. Shares acquired using the loans will be subject
 to a holding lock which will effectively prevent the Shares from being transferred unless
 the loan is either repaid or the Shares are sold to enable the loan to be repaid. The loans
 will also be of limited recourse in that the total amount under the loan that the participant
 will be liable for, including any interest, will be no greater than the value of the Shares
 acquired under the loan. That is, in the event the Shares obtained under the loan are sold
 for an amount less than the amount of the loan, the participant will only be required to
 repay the loan, including any interest, to the amount of the sale proceeds (in proportion
 to the number of Shares sold). The Company will have no other recourse against the participant
 in respect of the balance of the loan and any interest not met by the sale proceeds. In the
 event that the Shares obtained under the loan are sold for an amount greater than the amount
 of the loan, the Participant would be entitled to any excess of the sale proceeds over the
 outstanding amount of the loan (in proportion to the number of Shares sold). The Board may
 only approve a loan to a Participant if they remain a Participant at the time the application
 for a loan is made, and if the market value of the Shares underlying the Options proposed
 to be exercised is greater than the aggregate exercise price payable by the Participant in
 respect of those Options. The provision of any loan is subject to applicable law including
 without limitation compliance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

(h) **Restriction Periods:** A Share issued on exercise of an Option may be made subject to a restriction
 period as determined by the Board in with the ESOP and as specified in the Offer for the
 Option.

Nova Minerals Limited \| Director Share Plan 4

![](ex10-1_002.jpg)

(i) **Change of Control:** All vested Options must be exercised within 30 days of a change of control.
 Where vesting conditions apply, all unvested Options will vest unless the Board determines
 otherwise.

(j) **Lapse of Options:** Subject to this ESOP, a Participant's unexercised Option will lapse
 immediately and all rights in respect of that Option will be lost if, in respect of the Option:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the
 relevant person ceases to be an employee (permanent or otherwise) of the Company, director
 of the Company or ceases to provide services to the Company for any reason (including without
 limitation resignation or termination for cause) unless the reason is due to death, total
 and permanent disability or redundancy and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any
 vesting conditions have not been met by the date the relevant person ceases to be a Participant
 (**Ceasing Date**); or

(B) where
 any vesting conditions have been met by the Ceasing Date or the Option is not subject to
 any exercise conditions, the Participant does not exercise the Option within a period of
 three months after the Ceasing Date (or a further date as determined by the Board after the
 Ceasing Date);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any
 vesting conditions are unable to be met; or

(iii) the
 expiry date for the Options has passed,

whichever is earlier.

(k) **Power of attorney:** Each Participant, in consideration of an offer, irrevocably appoints the
 Company and any person nominated from time to time by the Company (each an "attorney"),
 severally, as the Participant's attorney to complete and execute any documents including
 applications for Shares and Share transfers and to do all acts or things on behalf of and
 in the name of the Participant which may be convenient or necessary for the purpose of giving
 effect to the provisions of the ESOP.

(m) **Restriction on transfer:** Options will not be transferable except to the extent provided for by the
 ESOP or unless the Offer provides otherwise.

(n) **Quotation on ASX:** Options will not be quoted on the ASX, except to the extent provided for by the
 ESOP or unless the Offer provides otherwise.

(o) **Rights attaching to Shares:** Each Share issued on exercise of an Option will have the same terms
 and conditions as the Company's issued Shares (other than in respect of transfer restrictions
 imposed by the ESOP) and it will rank equally with all other issued Shares from the issue
 date except for entitlements which have a record date before the issue date.

**2025 AGM - Letter from Nova Chairman, Mr. Richard Beazley**

Dear fellow shareholders

During the past year, our seventh year operating at Estelle, we believe that Nova has definitively matured in its mission to transform Estelle into a world class, tier one, global gold producer and to potentially help secure a US domestic supply chain for the strategic mineral antimony, from mining to a refined product.

In future years looking back over this period, it may be celebrated as an inflection point in the growth of the Company. Events and activities have seen a new phase of scale, opportunity and national significance come to fruition which appears to have generated an anticipation for the Board, the Nova Minerals team and our shareholders on achieving our mission.

The operations saw the successful completion of the highly targeted 2024 resource and extensional drilling program at RPM, which delivered additional world-class, thick, high-grade intercepts that continue to strengthen the development story of RPM. With these outstanding results, we now eagerly await the assays pending from the 2025 drilling program, which are expected to further define and expand the mineral resources at RPM. The culmination of this work and the positive metallurgical studies will feed into next year's feasibility studies to target a final investment decision to mine.

In parallel with the active drilling programs, the Company has maintained a strong focus on advancing surface exploration activities targeting both gold and antimony, which have continued to deliver numerous high-grade results. This work has highlighted the Stibium and Styx prospects as significant strategic antimony assets, each with the potential to become stand-alone projects operating alongside the RPM and Korbel gold developments. We believe that the encouraging results from the initial ore-sorting trials completed this year have further strengthened the emerging antimony opportunity.

The Nova Minerals team continues to be strongly dedicated to stakeholder engagement and in particular working with the Alaskan Government on our shared commitments to building the foundational infrastructure needed to realise the Estelle projects' full potential. These key enablers include the West Susitna Access Road development, Port Mackenzie upgrade and Alaska LNG which will support year-round access, global logistics and clean energy. These projects are not only important to Nova but will provide huge economic benefit to the state of Alaska.

In this endeavour, the past year has seen a significant increase in executive visits to Alaska, New York, and Washington DC. These trips, which focused on investor summits and meetings with U.S. government officials, have culminated in the award of US$43.4 million, from the U.S. Department of War. The funding is intended to accelerate the development of a fully domestic, integrated antimony supply chain in Alaska.

![](ex99-2_002.jpg)

With the U.S. Department of War's endorsement which provides some validation to the strategic importance of Nova Minerals' antimony assets, we continue to advance our dual-commodity strategy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Accelerating
 the development of Estelle's gold assets — one of the largest undeveloped gold
 deposits globally — into a Tier 1 global gold producer, and;

2. Fast-tracking
 the development of Estelle's antimony assets to establish the first fully integrated
 domestic antimony supply chain in Alaska, supporting U.S. critical mineral independence.

Corporately, Nova Minerals has monetised its investment in Snow Lake Resources realizing US$6.53 million in proceeds from the sale of our entire holding. Additionally, Nebari converted the full outstanding balance of the their convertible note in January 2025 resulting in Nova Minerals being debt free.

In September 2025 the Company also made a strategic cornerstone investment of 7.8% in Adelong Gold Limited, a gold-antimony explorer and near-term producer with high-grade projects in Australia and Brazil. We believe this investment allows us to partner with undervalued, high-growth resource companies offering strong exploration and production potential.

As of the close of the September 2025 quarter, we had access to over A$86.3 million in funding comprising of, A$17.5 million in cash, US$43.4 million (A$65.5 million) 24 month award from the U.S. Department of War to support antimony production in Alaska, and approximately ~A$3.3million in liquid investments, with no debt.

On a broader outlook, in our opinion, the global economy remains dynamic and uncertain with the various tensions and conflicts around the globe, the changing political outlooks, and the inflationary effects and weakness in the US dollar. We believe the results of these events could continue to culminate in the central banks around the world continuing to buy up gold bullion putting upward pressure on gold prices and a focus in the western world to mitigate strategic risk for critical minerals supply with the development of independent supply chains.

These impacts allow us to remain optimistic about the rising importance of gold and antimony in the marketplace and take the view that we are well placed to recognise this significant upside.

We will continue to strive for de-risking of the project and the establishment of a solid foundation for future growth through the prudent allocation of capital.
