Nova Minerals (NVA) reported the arrival of about 500 tons of processing and refining equipment at Port MacKenzie, Alaska, for its planned antimony facility.
The shipment, comprising more than 40 containers and multiple oversized loads, follows six months of procurement and logistics work and is funded by a US$43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War under Title III of the Defense Production Act. The delivery moves Nova’s antimony strategy ahead of schedule and supports targeted production in 2027.
The Port MacKenzie plant is designed to process stibnite-bearing material and initially produce antimony trisulfide, with a modular setup that may later enable production of antimony metal and antimony trioxide.
Nova Minerals (NYSE American: NVA, ASX: NVA) reports that geotechnical drilling is underway on the proposed 78.5-mile West Susitna Access Road and that the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) has approved up to $25 million in additional funding over 2026/2027 to advance road predevelopment.
The year-round road is planned to link Nova Minerals’ Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project with its future Port MacKenzie antimony refinery via a connection to a separate 22-mile ADOT&PF road and major Susitna River bridge. According to Nova Minerals, ADOT&PF has completed or nearly completed most 2026 drill holes at key material sites and bridge crossings, with numerous environmental and technical studies finished or in progress. Phase 1 of Nova’s antimony trisulfide production is described as fully funded by a $43.4 million U.S. Department of War Defense Production Act Title III award, supporting a domestic antimony supply chain targeted for 2027 production.
