EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Nova Minerals Limited (�N��a� �� ��e �C���a���) c������ed ��� �a�� -track exploration strategy at the district scale Estelle Gold Project in Alaska, achieving a significant milestone with the release of a JORC compliant 2.5Moz maiden inferred resource at its oxide Korbel prospect ( Figure 1 and 2 ) in the September quarter ( ASX: 11 September 2019 ) to outline the size and scope of the project area.

In addition, Nova announced exceptional gold leach recoveries averaging 76% at the Korbel Gold Deposit ( Table 1 ). All initial metallurgical test-work results are consistent ���� N��a�� e��ec�a���� ��a� �������� a �����e ��� �����, b��� ������, �ea� �eac� mining operation. ( ASX: 30 December 2019 )

Furthermore, The resource development drilling program will initially target the � Starter Pit � a� K��be� B��c� B�� Pad� 3 a�d 4 ( Figure 4 ). The location of Pad 3 is within the vicinity of a high grade intercept of 27.6 g/t Au over 1.5 metres returned from hole OX-RC-16 drilled in the summer of 2019 1m ( ASX: 02 September 2019 ). In addition, re-sampling of hole SE12-004, also in the vicinity of Pad 3, returned a broad intercept of 1.20 g/t Au over 70.1m ( ASX: 02 September 2019 ). Drilling from Pad 3 will continue to expand the Resource laterally and at depth by targeting mineralisation down to the 500m level. The additional data density from drilling Pad 3 and 4 will also increase confidence of the Resource and shift tonnes from Inferred into the Measured & Indicated (M & I) categories. The global objective is to push the �S�a��e� P��� ���a�d� a �ea��b����� ���d� �� 2021 ( ASX: 02 September 2019 and 9 December, 2019 ). Nova has also defined outside drill targets at Korbel within Blocks A, C, D, and Cathedral ( Figure 5 ). Across the claim block, additional significant targets have been identified at the RPM and the Shoeshine prospect. ( ASX announcement: 9 December 2019 ).

Nova controlled entity Snow Lake Resource Ltd continued to progress its strategic Discussion, with Company executives attending strategic meetings in Manitoba together with down stream spodumene participants, to further advance interest from such strategic parties for the potential of a relatively quick to cash flow Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) operation. Furthermore, the company has engaged with the mines branch to commence to approval process, local mining contractors and oresorting engineering firm to fast track development and have the project development ready when lithium market conditions permit.

As we look forward to amplifying our exploration and project development efforts across both projects in 2020, we are committed to keeping our shareholders constantly updated on our progress.

ESTELLE GOLD PROJECT (70% JV interest, earning up to 85%)

N��a M��e�a�� L����ed (�N��a� �� ��e �C���a���) continued its fast-track exploration strategy at the district scale Estelle Gold Project in Alaska, achieving a significant milestone with the release of a JORC compliant 2.5Moz maiden inferred resource at its oxide Korbel prospect ( Figure 1 and 2 ) in the September quarter (ASX: 11 September 2019) to outline the size and scope of the project area. The Company was pleased to announce the discovery of high grade ���d �a�e��a� ��� a �S�a��e� P��� scenario within Block B of the Oxide Korbel deposit from a phase 1 resource drilling Nova Minerals Ltd. Suite 602, 566 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004 +61 3 9537 1238

program. Assays within this zone returned grades of up to 27.6 g/t Au within broad intercepts of 70.1m grading 1.20 g/t Au. Mineralization within the defined resource area remains open at depth and length (ASX: 2 September 2019) ( Figure 3 ). The maiden resource is one of 15 known high priority prospects across the project area that the company intends to explore by utilising its prioritised systematic exploration strategy while continuing to increase the resource at the oxide Korbel deposit both in size and confidence levels. RPM being is one of several highly ranked advanced prospect with drill intersections including 1.02g/t Au over 120.40 m . (ASX: 17 September 2019) ( Figure 6 )

The mineralization is characterized by a conjugate set of sub- to centimeter scale, commonly sheeted quartz veins. These gold-bearing veins are mineralized with arsenopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite and the host intrusive rocks to the veins are mineralized with disseminated sulfides. Mineralization has also been noted within the country rock adjacent to intrusive host rocks. The mineralized bodies are similar in grade, style of mineralization, deposit type and tonnage potential to the Fort Knox and the Eagle deposits which are also located in the Tintina Gold Belt of the Northern Cordillera.

Similar IRGS deposits in the region is the 9.2 million oz Au Fort Knox mine or the 6.0 million oz Au Dublin Gulch project both located within the Tintina Gold Province ( Figures 5 ) ( ASX: 19 June 2019 )

THOMPSON BROS. LITHIUM PROJECT � MANITOBA, CANADA ( 73.8% Interest in Snow Lake Resources Ltd)

Nova Minerals Limited 73.8% held subsidiary, Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (� Snow Lake �), owns 100% interest in the Thompson Bros. Lithium Property in Wekusko Lake, Manitoba. Capital allocation is an everyday discussion within the Nova Group to get best returns in the short, medium and long term for its investors. The Directors and lead management have an opportunity to fast track the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project to cash flow in a very short period.

As outlined above, the advantages in allocating financial and human resources to advance the project far outweigh listing the company at this stage. The company will look at increased valuation when lithium markets are more favourable. With Snow Lake Resources Ltd passing all criteria to be listed, the company can list at any time and will do what will create best value with timing being key to this, for all stakeholders.

About the Thompson Bros. Lithium Project

The Thompson Bros. Lithium Project is located 20 kilometres east of the mining community of Snow Lake, Manitoba. The main highway between Thompson and Flin Flon and rail connecting Winnipeg and the seaport of Churchill both pass 40 km south of the property. Together with the 100% owned Crowduck project the total landholding

Nova Minerals Ltd. Suite 602, 566 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004 +61 3 9537 1238

is 5229 ha across all claims. Manitoba is consistently ranked one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world and electricity costs are amongst the lowest in North America. The project is well advanced and with a maiden Inferred Resource of 6.3 Mt @ 1.38% containing 86,940 tonnes of Li2O with an additional exploration target of 3 to 7 Mt @ between 1.3 and 1.5% Li2O in the immediate area of the resource. Initial metallurgical test work demonstrates the project can produce a concentrate material of 6.37% Li2O using standard metallurgical laboratory test techniques. The company is currently fast tracking development works to bring the project to cash flow in the near term.

Operational Update

On Oct 12, 2018 Frank Hrdy of CanMine brought his Differential GPS to Snow Lake Manitoba to the Thompson Brothers Lithium project site to survey in all available drill hole. Not all holes were surveyed due to holes inaccessible, these holes will be surveyed during the winter months. The bulk of the holes the cover the heart of the resources were located and surveyed and this data will be used to support the maiden NI43-101 Indicated Resource estimate.

Site Visit � In addition to survey of drill collars, Frank Hrdy of CanMine has now completed a site visit at the same time. As part of his site visit Frank was able to use the DGPS and survey in the perimeter of the surface exposure of the central spodumene dyke. This exposure falls within the deposit domain defined by the block modelling. This survey will be used to define the geometry of the Bulk test pit sampling.

Core Logging/External Lab Check All the infill core logging and core cutting requested by Frank Hrdy of CanMine consulting. Snow Lake now has all the ICP chemistry back from The Saskatchewan Research Council ( SRC ). This data will be used to additionally support the planned maiden NI43-101 Indicated Resource estimate. As a last step Frank has recommended a sub set of sample from our TBL core library be sent to SGS (SGS are experts at the world's leading testing, inspection, verification and certification company) as an external laboratory check on the analytical results produced by SRC. These samples have now been pulled by SRC and sent to SGS for testing.

Indicated Resource Study Now that Snow Lake, its consultants and external laboratory have all the data in hand for the recourse study Snow Lake Resources will now process and validate all collected data. Once this phase of data verification has been completed we will pass the data back to CanMine for the final models and publication of a NI43-101 Indicated Resources.

Ore Sorting Snow Lake engaged Brent Hilscher of DRA Global. DRA Global is a diversified global engineering, project delivery and operations management group. DRA will assist in the design of an effective Ore-Sorting strategy for the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project. Ore Sorting utilizes Lasers and X-rays to help separate out waste material from the Spodumene Pegmatite thereby increasing the overall grade of the final product at a low cost per tonne. Snow Lake has collected 120 scoping �a���e� ���� ��e c���a���� d���� c��e ��b�a��. T�e�e ���� be �e�� �� S�e��e�� �� ��e Kentucky for analysis. The company also created four- (4) be�c� �e�� �B��� Sa���e�� from the existing core library. This will be used as trial material at Steinert on the full-

Nova Minerals Ltd. Suite 602, 566 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004 +61 3 9537 1238

scale ore-sorting machine once DRA Global concludes the appropriate algorithm for sorting.

Saskatchewan Research Council � As part of the Ore-Sorting strategy the company will need a higher degree of understanding of the mineral assemblage of ��e S��d��e�e Pe��a���e��. T�e c���a�� �a� c���ec�ed ���e c��e �a���e� ���� ��e c���a���� c��e ��b�a�� a�d �e�� ��e� ���� SRC �� Sa��a����. T�e� ���� commence a QEM-SCAN petrography analysis of the core sample and provide DRA a report on the mineral assemblage of the pegmatite. From the nine samples the company will select three samples for microprobe analysis of the various mineral phase. These studies will give the company an understanding of the mineral chemistry of the feldspar phases. This will help support the X-Ray sorting works, as there may be a chemical element that the X-Ray sorter can focus on to eliminate the feldspars from the spodumene pegmatite feed.

As part of the Bulk Sample program for 2020, the company will also provide samples to SRC to conduct ABA testing. Acid - base accounting (ABA) is an analytical procedure that provides values to help assess the acid -producing and acid - neutralizing potential of rocks prior to large-scale excavations.

Blast Pit/Bulk Sample Furthermore, now that the company has the DGPS data in hand, the company can construct and ore outline that can be used in the Bulk Sample as part of the blast pit. The company has had some initial contacts with the Mines Branch on requirement for an Advanced Exploration Permit (AEP); with drafting the AEP the company will incorporate all considerations for Environmental Protection and Closure Plans. Submissions to the Mines Branch are expected to be lodged in due course.

Strilkiwski Contracting Ltd Snow Lake has signed a non-binding Letter of intent with Strilkiwski Contracting Ltd. The purpose of this letter (the "Letter of Intent") is to set forth an understanding between Snow Lake Operation Limited. and Strilkiwski Contracting Ltd. for the upcoming 2019/20 blast pit, permitting and mine closure permits on its Thompson Brothers Lithium Project and allow the ability of both parties to share information. Snow Lake Operation Limited. and Strilkiwski Contracting Ltd. will additionally in good faith negotiate a potential ongoing Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for further mining upon mine approvals and scope of works established. Our aim with this LOI is to further our relationship and begin the possibility of formally signing binding contracts.

Strilkiwski Contracting Ltd. is in the business of supplying, processing and distribution of aggregate materials as well as a variety of road building services and other heavy civil construction activities throughout central, western and northern Manitoba. They have a proactive approach toward safety and believe it should be a number one priority.

Tanco Mine Off Take � Dale Schultz and Christopher Gerteisen conducted a field trip to Southern Manitoba Tanco mining district. The purpose was to meet with Tanco Mining Corporation of Canada Limited. officials, and map out a future working relationship between Snow Lake Resources and Tanco Mining Corporation of Canada Limited in line with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on 2 August 2019 ( ASX announcement: 2 August 2019 ).

The objective of the study through 2020 is to assess the suitability of sorting applicable to the specific style of mineralization contained at Korbel. It will also involve test work, design, management and supervision to determine ore sorting amenability. Additionally, the study will assess the overall impact of the ore sorting circuit in a future flowsheet. This will include completion of a dynamic simulation in phase 2 to establish ore sorting stockpile and ore sorting requirements for the optimal CAPEX, OPEX, Operability and Maintainability of the overall process plant. High level deliverables will include generation of process mass and water balances, mechanical equipment list, and a concept level (AACE Class 5) CAPEX estimate for the entire plant. Nova recognizes the need for sorting studies early on in the mine development cycle. These kinds of studies help to keep moving the project towards Pre-Feasibility. In addition the sorting study will run concurrently with the 2020 Resource drilling programme. Subject to drilling and positive results, Nova sees various processing options at Korbel. These options include 1) heap leach, 2) carbon-in-pulp (CIP) circuit or 3) a combination of the two.

  5. The milestones achieved this Quarter reinforces the Company is genuinely on track and continues delivering on its strategy of creating value for shareholders. Nova remains confident that key upcoming milestones will prove successful to demonstrate the resource and exploration scale of the District Scale Estelle Gold Project and the further potential to maintain its fast track strategy through Snow Lake on the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project.
