Nova Discovers New Gold Prospect at Wombat

Thickest gold-bearing quartz veins to date discovered with up to 1km long strike length at the new Wombat occurrence, with grades up to 24.2 g/t Au

Highlights

• Field observations and assay results from exploration surface samples have confirmed the presence of a new gold anomaly with up to a 1km long strike length at the Wombat prospect area (Figures 3 and 4 and Tables 1 and 2).

• Surface sampling traverses unearthed massive – up to 4m thick – gold-bearing quartz veins with best results up to 24.2 g/t Au (Figure 4)

• Copper associated with several samples in the form of bornite and chalcopyrite with five samples grading 6.1% , 3.0%, 2.3%, 1.3%, and 1.2% Cu

• Final results of an airborne magnetic survey are pending

Nova Head of Exploration, Mr Hans Hoffman commented: “Nova geologists have discovered an impressive zone hosting gold-bearing massive quartz veins. Numerous arsenopyrite-bearing quartz veins 1 to 4 meters in width have been discovered across an approximately 1km strike length. Goldgrades are better in the veins outcropping on the southern side of the ridge, but the miarolitic cavities with well-developed quartz crystals on the northern side of the ridge is a site to be seen. Given the size and frequency of these large veins, we feel Wombat can be developed into a viable drill target to further feed the project’s pipeline of developing gold deposits.”

Nova CEO, Mr Christopher Gerteisen further commented: “The Wombat discovery further highlights the massive exploration upside potential across the Estelle Project area. We have truly only scratched the surface out there and expect further discoveries as we systematically explore the 513km[2] claim block. In addition to high-grade gold in sets of thick quartz veins, we are also seeing high grade copper. We are beginning to recognize the multi-element potential within numerous prospects across Estelle, including antimony, copper, silver, and certain critical elements. These elements have the potential to add significant by-product credits in any future production scenarios. As these are coincident with the gold, an analysis of these elements is something we plan to include in our upcoming exploration programs. Wombat adds to the already over 20 known prospects we have identified at Estelle. As we move forward, we will prioritize this plethora of prospects for advancement towards resource definition.”

Nova Minerals Limited ( Nova or the Company ) ( ASX: NVA, OTC: NVAAF, FSE: QM3 ) is pleased to announce the discovery of the vein-hosted Wombat prospect in the central portion of the claims tenements within the company's flagship Estelle Gold Project located in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska.

As a result of that program, and reported to date:

• Nova staked additional State of Alaska mining claims with the project area now over 513km[2] (ASX Announcement: 6 October 2023)

• Assay results from soil and rock chip samples identified two new gold-antimony prospect areas, Stibium and Styx (ASX Announcement: 10 October 2023)

• Assay results and the re-examination of multi-element data from historical samples identified further high-grade gold, silver, copper and antimony at the Train and Trumpet prospects (ASX Announcement: 16 November 2023), and

• Assay results and the re-examination of multi-element data from historical samples at the Shoeshine and Shadow prospects identified a record 1,290 g/t Au rock chip sample along with many other samples returning high-grades for gold, antimony, copper and silver

• Assay results and the re-examination of multi-element data from historical samples at the Shoeshine and Shadow prospects identified a record 1,290 g/t Au rock chip sample along with many other samples returning high-grades for gold, antimony, copper and silver (ASX Announcement: 20 November 2023)

• Assay results from soil and rock chip samples at Revelation identified two broad zones of mineralization (ASX Announcement: 23 November 2023), and

• Assay results from soil and rock chip samples identified one of the most continuous high-grade zones of mineralization on the property at the Discovery and Muddy Creek prospects with a 1.5km long surface gold anomaly and 18 rock samples grading > 10 g/t Au and over 80% of soil samples returning > 1 g/t Au (ASX Announcement: 5 December 2023)

Assay results from exploration undertaken in 2023 at the new Wombat prospect have now also been received back from the laboratory, with the thickest gold-bearing quartz veins to date discovered in the area, as reported in this announcement.

Further results from the soil and rock chip samples taken from across the project area in 2023, as well as re-examining multi-element data from historical samples to determine the presence of antimony, will be reported by area once received and processed in the coming weeks.

Wombat Surface Sampling

Multiple large-scale arsenopyrite-bearing quartz veins have been discovered at Nova’s new Wombat prospect. These veins are hosted in granodiorite to quartz monzonite phases of the Estelle pluton. They follow a similar trend to what is seen elsewhere on the property – steeply dipping and trending NNW-SSE. These large veins are also associated with smaller, mm-scale veins and fracture fill sulfides which may extend grades beyond the large veins themselves. Nova believes this vein system could potentially host an economic gold deposit and will develop plans to further test this theory.

Field crews collected a total of 52 rock samples, 16 of which were greater than 1 g/t Au, including a high of 24.2 g/t Au, and an average grade of 1.7 g/t Au. In addition to gold, these rock samples averaged 0.5% copper, with five samples greater than 1% Cu, and a high of 6% Cu. Table 1 provides a summary of the gold and copper grades for the 16 rock samples greater than 1 g/t Au.

Gold Equivalent Calculation

Gold equivalent (AuEq) values were calculated using the formula below:

AuEq g/t= Au g/t + (Ag_ppm XAg) + (Cu_ppm XCu) + (Sb_ppm* XSb)

AuEq values were calculated using a gold price of $1,850/oz, a silver price of $22/oz, a copper price of $3.5/lb, and an antimony price of $12,000/ton, all with recovery rates of 90% as shown below.

Gold Equivalent Factors (XXx):

(XAg)= [US$22/oz silver price x 0.90 silver recovery] / [US$1,850/ troy ounce gold price x 0.90 gold recovery] = 0.011892

(XCu)= [US$3.50/lb copper price x (1lb/14.583 troy ounces) x 0.90 copper recovery] / [US$1,850/ troy ounce gold price / 31.10348 grams per troy ounce x 0.90 gold recovery] = 0.000130

(XSb)= [US$12,000/tonne antimony price x (1tonne/1000000grams) x 0.90 antimony recovery] / [US$1,850/ troy ounce gold price / 31.10348 grams per troy ounce x 0.90 gold recovery] = 0.000202

Cautionary Statement: For many projects at the exploration results stage, metallurgical recovery information may not be available or able to be estimated with reasonable confidence. In such cases reporting of metal equivalents may be misleading.

The 3D Vrify decks on the company’s website will be updated with the 2023 surface sampling exploration results when all the assays for the soil and rock chip samples taken across the entire Estelle Gold Project have been received back from the laboratory.

Further discussion and analysis of the Estelle Gold Project is available through the interactive Vrify 3D animations, presentations and videos all available on the Company’s website. www.novaminerals.com.au

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria	JORC Code Explanation	Commentary
Sampling techniques	• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld 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 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse Au that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.	• Rock chip samples were collected from outcrop in-situ lithology or local float where noted • Rock samples collected were representative • Sampling practice is appropriate and complies with industry best practice. • Sample preparation and analysis was performed by ALS laboratories in Fairbanks, following industry best practice standards.
Drilling techniques	• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.)	• Not applicable – No drilling reported
