Company Description
Novo Resources Corp. (OTCQB: NSRPF) is an Australian-based gold exploration company listed on the ASX, TSX and OTCQB. Novo focuses on discovering standalone gold and copper projects with development potential greater than one million ounces. According to recent corporate disclosures, the company holds a significant exploration land package in several well-known Australian mining provinces and is advancing a portfolio of high-potential gold and polymetallic targets.
Novo’s core focus is gold exploration, with additional exposure to copper and battery metals through specific joint ventures. The company reports an extensive land position of approximately 5,500 square kilometres in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, together with the Belltopper project in the Bendigo Tectonic Zone of Victoria and farm-in interests in New South Wales. Its exploration model is based on identifying high-grade gold systems and intrusion-related or orogenic gold mineralisation across these districts.
Pilbara portfolio and Egina Gold Camp
In the Pilbara, Novo’s key project area is the Egina Gold Camp. Within this camp, Northern Star Resources Limited is farming in to form a joint venture at the Becher Project and surrounding tenements. Under this earn-in, Northern Star may obtain a 50% interest through a defined exploration expenditure program. Novo notes that the Becher Project shares geological characteristics with the large Hemi gold project in the same region, although no assurance is given that similar results will be achieved.
Novo is also advancing gold exploration south of Becher in the Egina Gold Camp through the Croydon Joint Venture, where Novo holds 70% and the Creasy Group holds 30%. Within this broader camp, the company highlights prospects such as the Teichman area on the Tabba Tabba Shear Corridor, where historic and recent rock-chip sampling has returned high-grade gold values from multiple prospects over a multi-kilometre trend. Mapping and geochemical programs at Teichman have defined shear-hosted gold targets along the Pride and Teichman trends, with numerous historic workings and high-grade rock-chip assays.
Beyond Egina, Novo is advancing additional Pilbara projects, including:
- Sherlock Crossing (Au-Sb) – a gold–antimony prospect in the West Pilbara centred on historic workings at the Clarke Mine. Soil sampling has defined a coherent antimony-in-soil anomaly extending over approximately 1.5 km of strike, with associated gold anomalism. Reverse circulation (RC) drilling programs are being used to test quartz vein-hosted gold–antimony mineralisation and to assess continuity at depth and along strike.
- Southeast Wyloo (Sb-Ag-Au-Cu) – a South Pilbara project ranked highly by Novo for antimony potential. Reconnaissance mapping and rock-chip sampling have outlined a polymetallic quartz vein system with notable silver, base metal, antimony and gold grades along an interpreted structural corridor.
- Balla Balla Gold Project – an early-stage exploration project centred on the Sholl Shear Zone. Aircore drilling over a 10 km trend has delineated broad zones of low-level gold anomalism and multielement anomalies (including silver, antimony, copper, bismuth and molybdenum), associated with hydrothermal alteration and quartz veining.
New South Wales gold projects
Novo has expanded its portfolio through farm-in agreements in New South Wales, targeting high-grade orogenic and intrusion-related gold systems:
- Tibooburra Gold Project (farm-in with Manhattan Corporation) – an advanced exploration opportunity in the historic Albert Goldfields in northwestern New South Wales. The tenure covers multiple lines of historic workings over more than 20 km of strike. Novo’s initial work at the Clone prospect included detailed mapping, soil sampling and RC drilling, which has confirmed high-grade, near-surface gold mineralisation along a shallow north-plunging shoot. Additional prospects at Tibooburra, such as New Bendigo, Pioneer and Warratta Reef, host historic workings and high-grade drill or rock-chip results reported by previous operators.
- John Bull Gold Project (farm-in with TechGen Metals) – an advanced exploration project in the New England Orogen of New South Wales. Novo describes John Bull as a structurally controlled intrusion-related gold system, with sheeted quartz–sulphide veins, extensive gold-in-soil anomalies and historic sluicing areas. Recent mapping, soil geochemistry and rock-chip sampling have defined multiple targets, including the John Bull Main, John Bull South, Hills Creek West and Diggers North areas, where RC drilling is planned or underway.
Belltopper and Victorian exploration
In Victoria, Novo controls the Belltopper project in the Bendigo Tectonic Zone. Company disclosures describe Belltopper as prospective for high-grade gold mineralisation, and Novo has previously outlined an exploration target there based on mineralisation modelling. The project is part of Novo’s broader strategy to explore in established gold provinces with known high-grade systems.
Battery metals and investment exposure
Alongside its gold and copper focus, Novo has formed a lithium joint venture with SQM in the Pilbara. This arrangement provides shareholders with exposure to battery metals through exploration for lithium-bearing mineralisation on specified tenements. In addition, Novo notes that it holds a significant investment portfolio and runs a program aimed at identifying value-accretive opportunities, complementing its exploration activities.
Exploration strategy and project generation
Novo describes its portfolio as a mix of greenfields, advanced greenfields and advanced exploration projects across Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. The company emphasises systematic exploration, including soil and rock-chip geochemistry, detailed geological mapping, geophysical surveys and RC or aircore drilling to define and test high-priority targets. A dedicated project generation program focuses on identifying advanced gold and copper assets that can be added to the portfolio under farm-in or acquisition arrangements.
Across its projects, Novo’s technical team applies models such as orogenic gold systems in turbidite sequences and intrusion-related gold systems, using structural interpretation, alteration mapping and multielement geochemistry to refine drill targets. The company highlights that several of its prospects have returned high-grade gold intercepts or rock-chip assays, and that many mineralised trends remain open along strike or at depth.
Corporate profile
Novo is headquartered in Australia and is listed on multiple exchanges, trading as NVO on the ASX and TSX and as NSRPF on the OTCQB. Public disclosures emphasise a focus on disciplined growth, exploration-led value creation and the potential to define standalone gold and copper projects of significant scale. The company also reports that it regularly updates investors through corporate presentations, quarterly activity summaries and detailed technical news releases on key projects.
