High Grade Gold Anomaly Extended at John Bull in Preparation for Drilling

Core Insights - Novo Resources Corp. is preparing for a drilling campaign at the John Bull Gold Project, with a planned ~1,500 m RC drilling program set to commence in June 2025, pending drill rig availability and governmental approvals [2][8][18] - Recent exploration activities have identified exceptional drill targets, including a large gold system associated with a porphyry in the southwest portion of the John Bull tenement [2][7][10] - The exploration campaign has significantly enhanced the understanding of the mineral system, supporting the presence of an Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS) model [7][10][12] Exploration Details - The John Bull Gold Project is located in the New England District of NSW, covering approximately 32 sq km and is known for hosting multiple gold and polymetallic mineral systems [4][39] - Recent mapping and sampling have extended the known gold anomaly to ~1.5 km strike with peak soil results of 1.59 g/t Au and rock chip samples returning peak results of 67.9 g/t Au [7][19] - Four key targets have been identified for the upcoming drilling program, focusing on areas with high-order soil anomalies and dense sheeted quartz vein occurrences [8][17] Historical Context - Historical mining at John Bull included hydraulic sluicing and several shafts, with previous soil sampling by TechGen revealing a significant gold anomaly over 900 m long and 250 m wide at > 100 ppb Au [19][20] - TechGen completed 17 RC holes for 2,249.5 m, with peak results from shallow drilling including grades of up to 67.9 g/t Au [20][24] Future Work - Following the initial drilling program, further exploration activities will include infill and extensional drill testing, diamond drilling, and potential geophysical surveys targeting porphyry-related systems [30][34] - The company is also advancing exploration at other projects, including the Balla Balla and Tibooburra Gold Projects, with results pending [30][39]
