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 |
Nova Minerals Ltd. Level 17, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000. Phone: +61 3 9614 0600 Fax: + 61 3 9614 0550
| 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. |
Nova Minerals Ltd. Level 17, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000. Phone: +61 3 9614 0600 Fax: + 61 3 9614 0550
| 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. |
|---|---|---|
| JORC Code explanation | Commentary | |
| Sample security |
The measures taken to ensure sample _security. _ |
Unknown |
| Audits or reviews |
The results of and audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |

| 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. |
