Core Viewpoint - Nova Minerals Limited has commenced its 2025 drilling program at the high-grade RPM deposit, with initial geological observations showing promising results and expectations for assay results in the coming months [1][3][4]. Group 1: Drilling Program Details - The drilling program includes two diamond drill rigs and one reverse circulation (RC) rig operating continuously during daylight hours in Alaska [1]. - Initial drillholes in the RPM Valley zone have shown promising sulfide mineralization and quartz veining, extending the understanding of the mineralized intrusive body further north [3][5]. - The RC drilling program has effectively penetrated glacial till, confirming the presence of mineralized valley-fill material with an average of over 1g/t gold across surface samples, extending approximately 1.7 kilometers with an estimated thickness of nearly 40 meters [4][5]. Group 2: Resource Expansion and Exploration - The diamond drilling at RPM North is focused on testing extensions to the east and west to connect with the RPM Valley zone, while an additional rig targets resource expansion [5]. - Initial closed spaced RC drilling in the Korbel starter pit area has been completed, with samples to be sent for analysis shortly [5]. - Further exploration activities, including mapping, sampling, environmental studies, and access road projects, are ongoing as part of the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) [5]. Group 3: Project Overview - Nova Minerals Limited is focused on advancing the Estelle Project, which encompasses 514 km of mining claims in Alaska, containing multiple mining complexes and over 20 advanced gold and antimony prospects [11][13]. - The project is located in the Tintina Gold Belt, known for its significant gold endowment exceeding 220 million ounces [11][13].
