About Nova Minerals Limited (ASX: NVA, FSE: QM3):

Thompson Bros. Lithium Project

Nova Minerals Limited own the rights to earn up to 80% ownership interest of the Thompson Bros. Lithium Project from Ashburton Ventures Inc. by financing their commitments relating to their Option Agreement with Strider Resources Ltd.

The project is well advanced and in the process of defining a Maiden resource estimation, the projects current exploration target is 9.0Mt to 13.0Mt with a grade range of between 1.30% Li2O and 1.70% Li2O and first demonstration sample of spodumene concentrate; this allows a fast track approach to take the project to potential production.

Alaskan Project Portfolio

Nova Minerals Limited owns the rights to earn up to 85% ownership interest of the Alaskan Project Portfolio from AKCM (AUST) Pty Ltd. by financing their commitments relating to their JV Agreement.

The Alaskan project portfolio range from more advanced exploration projects with ore grade drill intersections to brownfield tenements. The most advanced projects are the Estelle gold-copper project, a district scale project with a 1.1 - 2.3 million ounce gold exploration target, the Chip-Loy nickel, copper, cobalt, silver project, the Bowser creek silver, zinc, lead project which the US government has spent in excess of $7m on this project historically and the Windy Fork REE project.

Stable Juristiction

Canada ranked number one for mining investment by the Fraser Institute (2017).

Manitoba was ranked number two for mining investment by the Fraser Institute (2016).

Nearby community of Snow Lake is mining friendly, with a long history of extractive industries. The Tanco Mine in southeast Manitoba is one of two North American rare metal mines where lithium has been produced historically.

Large and Growing Land Position

The orignal claim block totaled 1789 ha with the new block adding an additional 3440 ha.*

This brings the total landholding in the region to 5229 ha. Landholding remains relatively unexplored with the main historic activity being focused at the Thompson Brothers Pegmatite and the Sherritt Gordon Pegmatite.

Regional Geology

Snow lake Resources Lithium project hosts several identified pegmatite dykes with highgrade lithium found to date. Historical drilling on Thompson Bros. Lithium project indicated a historic “reserve” (Snow Lake Resources does not treat the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined by NI 43-101).

Significant Opportunity to Boost Lithium Tonnages on the Combined Property

*These estimates are historical estimates and are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as mineral resources and/or reserves in accordance with the JORC Code. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the historical estimates will be able to be reported as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code.

6.37% Li2O Concentrate

Initial metallurgical test work demonstrates the project can produce a concentrate material of 6.37% Li2O_ using standard metallurgical laboratory test techniques. A small head assay sample was taken for feed analysis. The results of the head assay returned a value of 1.40% Li2O. The remaining was ground to 100% passing 300 µm and used for the processing tests. The major processing technique is flotation in mechanical flotation cell. _This Li2O grade of the residual concentrate was 6.37%.*
