Nova Minerals Corp ("Nova Minerals" or the "Company") (NYSE:NVA, ASX: NVA))) is pleased to announce that its redomicile to the United States has been successfully completed and to provide an update on its 2026 field season, with exploration and development activities now well underway.

Highlights

  • Successfully completed redomicile to the United States: The Company’s common stock and listed warrants are now trading on the NYSE American under the ticker symbols "NVA" and "NVAWS", respectively. Chess Depositary Interests (CDIs) are also trading on the ASX under the ticker symbol "NVA".
  • Antimony drilling commenced: Drilling at the Stibium antimony-gold prospect commenced in early June from the existing ridge-top drill pad, targeting stibnite-bearing veins identified at surface (Figure 3).
  • Gold drilling commenced: Drilling commenced on 17 June from a new pad at the northern end of the main RPM ridge, targeting gold geochemical anomalies (Figure 1). The 2026 RPM program will continue testing new zones along the two-mile-long ridge while further advancing resource definition at the RPM North and RPM Valley deposits.
  • Major geophysical survey completed: A nearly 2,000 line-mile Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) airborne geophysical survey was recently completed across the Company's entire claim block. ZTEM has identified numerous reduced intrusion related gold systems (RIRGS) across the region. Results are expected to enhance exploration targeting across the claim block, particularly at RPM and West Wing, with data processing and interpretation pending.
  • Field exploration underway: As seasonal conditions continue to improve, field crews are advancing prospect mapping, sampling and generative exploration programs. Exploration efforts in 2026 are focused on the greater RPM area, West Wing and Portage Pass.
  • Access development underway: Approximately six miles of trail have been established from the airstrip toward Stibium with construction ongoing.
  • Site infrastructure progressing: Camp improvement projects are advancing alongside material site preparation, airstrip expansion work, and engineering and design plans being finalized for construction of antimony processing and refining (Figure 2).
  • Strategic investment in Amara Minerals: Nova has increased its investment in Amara Minerals, participating in a A$500,000 share placement at A$0.005 per share and receiving listed options (1:2, A$0.008 exercise price, expiring 1 May 2029). The investment provides exposure to Amara’s gold–antimony projects in a highly prospective Australian district near Fosterville and Costerfield, with Nova also retaining a right of first refusal over antimony offtake.
