Core Insights - Nova Minerals Limited has announced final results from its 2024 exploration season, highlighting significant gold and antimony mineralization across its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska [1][4][24] Exploration Results - The 2024 exploration program included the collection of 511 soil samples, 225 rock samples, and approximately 5 tons of bulk sample material [4] - Notable assay results include: - High-grade antimony and gold at the Styx prospect with grades up to 54.1% Sb and 9.8 g/t Au [4] - Extension of the high-grade gold mineralization zone at the Muddy Creek prospect, with a high of 128.5 g/t Au, now extending 400m to 800m [4] - An 800m long by 400m wide antimony-rich zone at the Stibium prospect with results up to 56.7% Sb and gold results up to 141 g/t Au [5][6] Regional Sampling Highlights - In the wider RPM regional area, 20 out of 40 rock samples collected graded greater than 1 g/t Au, with a high of 52.3 g/t Au [8][9] - Soil samples revealed 11 out of 100 samples greater than 0.5 g/t Au, with a maximum of 4.8 g/t Au [8] - Till sampling yielded 34 out of 138 samples greater than 1 g/t Au, with a high of 3.6 g/t Au [8][15] Geological Insights - The exploration team observed that the ore deposit may be actively eroded by a small pocket glacier, indicating potential for further mineralization discovery [3] - Geologic mapping identified a glacial debris lobe where 68 till samples averaged 1.1 g/t Au over 1.7 km, highlighting significant resource potential [15] Future Plans - The company plans to drill in 2025 to confirm thickness, composition, and grade continuity of the identified mineralization zones [3][15]
