Nova Minerals Limited Announces Significant New Gold Anomaly At Portage Pass Nova Minerals Limited announced assay results from its 2025 surface sampling program in the Portage Pass area of its flagship Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project, located within Alaska’s prolific Tintina Gold Belt has identified a new broad zone of gold mineralization 2.5km from Korbel. Potentially significant new gold anomaly defined at Portage Pass from field observations and 2025 surface assays. Geochemical signature comparable to the multi-million ounce Korbel gold deposit across the ridgeline to the north, with mineralization appearing more consistent and higher grade. Strong potential for valley-scale extension analogous to the exploration pathway that led to the Korbel discovery. 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 discovered along the ridgelines above the Portage Creek valley floor. 2026 soil sampling program planned, with a follow-up IP geophysical survey to be undertaken in line with the exploration approach that led to the Korbel discovery. During the 2025 field season, Nova’s geologist team undertook an extensive surface exploration mapping and sampling program across three main areas of the Estelle Project comprised of over 30 traverses covering 75-line kilometers, 430 soil samples, 170 rock samples, and 26 stream sediment samples. Assay results from recent rock and soil sampling have outlined a newly developing large-scale gold-copper system at West Wing. Surface results from the RPM regional and ridgeline areas, including high-grade RPM-style gold assays of up to 24.6 g/t Au, have identified new drill targets at RPM. Assay results from recent rock and soil sampling have identified a significant new gold anomaly at Portage Pass. All results from 2025 soil and rock sampling across the project district have now been reported. 139 soil samples and 68 rock samples were collected along traverses in the central portion of the claim block between Korbel and Stoney/West Wing. A moderate grade anomaly is developing in the headwaters of Portage Creek with 23 soil samples greater or equal to 0.2 g/t Au, including 10 soil samples greater or equal to 0.5 g/t Au. 11 rock samples primarily focused on the Estelle pluton granodiorite are greater than 1.0 g/t Au, including 5 greater or equal to 4 g/t Au and a high of 14.3 g/t Au. The anomalies were identified across two separate traverses of approximately 3.5km and 2.8km, highlighting the potential for this moderate-grade mineralization to extend into the valley in a manner comparable to the Korbel deposit, located immediately north across the ridge. Notably, mineralization identified in talus fines and base of outcrop samples above the Portage Pass valley appears more consistent and of slightly higher grade than that observed at Korbel. 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. Material PFS test-work results as they become available. Airborne geophysical surveys to commence in the spring of 2026. Antimony phase 1 project updates. Metallurgical test work ongoing. Environmental test work ongoing. West Susitna access road updates. Updated MRE. Updates on the company redomiciliation to the US.

Nova Minerals Limited Announces Further High-Grade Gold Discovered At RPM Nova Minerals Limited (“Nova” or the “Company”) announced assay results from its 2025 surface sampling program in the RPM regional and ridgeline area of the Company’s flagship Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project, located in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska. Highlights: Field observations and 2025 surface assays have identified new gold anomalies emerging to the west of RPM and along the northern end of the main RPM ridgeline; Anomaly highlighted by: Three rock samples grading >10 g/t Au including a high of 24.6 g/t Au (Table 1), and three soil samples grading >1 g/t Au with a peak of 5.5 g/t Au; These results build on earlier surface reconnaissance along the RPM ridge line, which previously returned 20 rock samples > 1.0 g/t Au, with a high of 52.3 g/t Au, and 11 soil samples > 0.5 g/t Au, with a high of 4.8 g/t Au; The RPM ridgeline is slated as a high-priority drill target for 2026 as the Company aims to identify the next high-grade pod similar to RPM North. 2025 Estelle Surficial Reconnaissance Program: During the 2025 field season, Nova’s geologist team, led by General Manager and geologist Mr. Hans Hoffman, undertook an extensive surface exploration mapping and sampling program across three main areas of the Estelle Project comprised of over 30 traverses covering 75-line kilometers, 430 soil samples, 170 rock samples, and 26 stream sediment samples. As a result of that program and reported to date: Assay results from recent rock and soil sampling have outlined a newly developing large-scale gold-copper system at West Wing; Surface results from the RPM regional and ridgeline areas, including high-grade RPM-style gold assays of up to 24.6 g/t Au, have identified new drill targets at RPM, as outlined in this announcement. Further results from 2025 soil and rock sampling across the project district will be reported by area as they are received and processed in the coming weeks. RPM Regional and Ridgeline: Additional sampling was conducted at the northern end of the main RPM ridge as well as along spur ridges 2-3km west of there. At the northern end of the main RPM Ridge, nine soil samples were greater than 0.2 g/t Au, including five greater than 0.4 g/t Au, and a high of 1.6 g/t Au. At this same location, four rock samples were greater than 1.0 g/t Au with a high of 11.7 g/t Au. These samples were collected primarily in granodiorite which was discovered in the creek drainage below the hornfelsed ridges above. Two to three kilometers to the west a season high 24.6 g/t Au quartz-sulfide vein in felsic intrusive was discovered along a spur ridge as well as a 14.6 g/t Au rock sample of sedimentary rock in a drainage just below there. No felsic intrusive had been previously noted in this region. Five soil samples collected in the vicinity were greater than 0.3 g/t Au with high of 1.0 g/t Au. Sampling in this area is relatively sparse and warrants follow-up in 2026. Aankondiging • Mar 03
