Table 1. Recalculated Sherritt-Gordon Pegmatite Intercepts

NVA Managing Director, Mr Avi Kimelman said:

“With the continued data compilation and desktop work, we are excited with the findings that the SG zone may contain significant lithium mineralisation in addition to the known Thompson Brothers spodumene zone. The SG target hasn’t been explored with modern day exploration techniques to fully test the dykes at depth and along strike.”

“This new work is very encouraging in that it indicates the scale within the project as it opens up a much larger area of interest for lithium-bearing pegmatites in a region where all key mining related infrastructures are closely located.”

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
technique

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are material to the
Public report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m
samples from which 3kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Holes were drilled by diamond
drilling to produce core in 1942.

Size is unknown but assumed to be
BQ.

Pegmatite (as differentiated from
the surrounding country rock) was
sampled with wing samples either
side of the pegmatite intercepts to
demonstrate pegmatite contacts
with country rock

Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so,
by what method etc.).

Unknown but assumed to be BQ
diamond drilling.
Drill
sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed

Measurements taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.

Unknown. Core recovery assumed
good based on recent drilling
results.
JORC Code explanation Commentary
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel etc.) photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged

All core was Geologically logged in
detail, with basic geotechnical
logging.

Logging is generally qualitative but
includes visual estimates of
spodumene content.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and
sample
preparatio
n

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffles, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet
or dry.

For all sample types, quality and
appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.

Core handling and sampling is
unknown.

It is assumed to have been whole
core sampled.

QA/QC information is unknown.

Nova Minerals Ltd. Level 17, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000. Phone: +61 3 9614 0600 Fax: + 61 3 9614 0550

Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc., the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

Core samples are assumed to have
been crushed, and used in some
form of gravitational separation.
JORC Code explanation Commentary
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative
company personnel.

The use of twinned holes

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physically and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Unknown
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resources
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

Drill collar locations Were obtained
of historic government maps.

Survey methods to obtain hole
locations initially are unknown.

The grid system for Thompson
Bros. Project is UTM NAD83 Zone
14 U
Data
spacing
and
distributio
n

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution
is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Reserve and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Nominal hole spacing is ~ 10m
between holes along strike.

Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

Historic drilling was oriented to
intersect the target pegmatite as
closely to perpendicular as could
be achieved.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the information
is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration results, weighing
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting
of high grades) and cut-off grades are
usually material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

Composites intervals are
reported.

Composites Intervals are As
reportd in historical documents.

Historic Lithium not reported.

Results reported as
Gravitational Determination
Percent Spodumene.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drillhole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down
hole length, true width not known’)

Historic and current drilling
reported apparent thicknesses
of mineralization.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
would be included for any significant
discovery being reported. These should
include, but not be limited too plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

Appropriate plan maps of
sample locations have been
included in the body of the
report.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including
(but not limited to): geological
observations, geophysical survey results,
geochemical survey results, bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
containing substances.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, providing this
information is not commercially sensitive.

Future drilling and
reconnaissance will be
conducted to verify historic
results and follow up on the
known mineralisation.
