Core Insights - Nova Minerals Limited announced positive assay results from its 2025 surface sampling program at the Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska, highlighting significant gold and copper anomalies in the West Wing area [1][5][21]. Exploration Results - The 2025 exploration program included over 30 traverses covering 75-line kilometers, resulting in 430 soil samples, 170 rock samples, and 26 stream sediment samples [4]. - A gold-copper anomaly measuring approximately 1,500m by 800m was delineated at West Wing, with notable findings including seven rock samples grading over 3 g/t Au, with a peak of 15.5 g/t Au, and 16 soil samples grading over 1 g/t Au, with a peak of 3.8 g/t Au [6][7]. - The West Wing area showed a significant copper presence, with three rock samples exceeding 1% Cu, the highest being 6.9% Cu, and 16 soil samples greater than 0.2% Cu [8][6]. Future Plans - Detailed mapping and drill targeting at West Wing will be prioritized in 2026 to further explore the newly identified gold-copper system [3][4]. - Upcoming milestones include further results from the 2025 exploration program, material PFS test-work results, and updates on the antimony project, which is fully funded by a US$43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War [22][23].
