Notable technical results: Xtra Energy reported a bulk sample with ~30.2–30.3% Sb head grade, producing ~63% Sb concentrate at ~97% recovery, supporting scalable concentrate production interest. Supply concentration and strategic stockpiling are highlighted as policy risks.
Nova (NASDAQ: NVA) reported 2025 surface sampling at the RPM regional and ridgeline area of the Estelle project, returning high-grade rock assays up to 24.6 g/t Au and soil highs to 5.5 g/t Au. The RPM ridgeline is identified as a high-priority 2026 drill target.
The program collected 430 soils, 170 rocks and 26 stream sediments across 75 line-km; follow-up drilling and expanded sampling are planned for 2026.
Nova Minerals (NASDAQ: NVA) reported 2025 surface sampling that delineated a 1,500m by 800m gold-copper anomaly at West Wing within the Estelle project in Alaska. Surface results include rock highs of 15.5 g/t Au and 6.9% Cu, plus 16 soil samples >1.0 g/t Au.
Nova plans detailed mapping, drill targeting, airborne geophysics in spring 2026, ongoing metallurgical and environmental test work, and updates to an MRE and other studies.
Nova Minerals (NVA) intends to redomicile to the United States and pursue acquisition of the remaining 15% interest in the Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project, aiming to hold 100% ownership.
The company will cease FPI status as U.S. ownership exceeded 50% at 31 Dec 2025, expects to complete the Scheme and redomiciliation by end-June 2026 (subject to shareholder and court approvals), retain dual ASX and Nasdaq listings, and search for a U.S.-based CFO. The proposed changes aim to improve access to U.S. capital markets and funding opportunities.

Nova Minerals (NASDAQ: NVA) reports 2025 shallow RC drilling at the Korbel Main deposit has defined a near-surface higher-grade core inside the pit-constrained resource. Korbel Main is reported at 275 Mt @ 0.3 g/t Au for 2.70 Moz; Cathedral adds 150 Mt @ 0.3 g/t Au for 1.35 Moz, giving a combined Korbel pit-constrained resource of 4.05 Moz Au (S-K 1300 basis). A potential pilot starter pit (~250m x 80m x 20m) is identified and key intercepts include 9m @ 1.2 g/t Au and 26m @ 0.7 g/t Au. Previous test work showed ore sorting can upgrade 0.4 g/t material to >6 g/t.

Highlights include a record intercept of 0.5 m @ 364 g/t Au and multiple broad intervals such as 289 m @ 0.7 g/t Au and 155 m @ 0.9 g/t Au. Results are expected to support a maiden Measured & Indicated resource at RPM Valley to feed the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study. Maiden RC till drilling returned 33 m @ 0.3 g/t Au and mapped a till lobe ~1.7 km by 200 m. Metallurgical work reports heap leach recoveries to date up to 68.7%. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth.
