Nova Minerals Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report – 31 March 2025
Nova Minerals (NVA) has reported significant exploration results from its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska for Q1 2025. The company discovered high-grade gold samples at multiple locations: up to 360 g/t Au at Wombat, 52.3 g/t Au in the RPM Regional area, and the RPM glacial debris lobe averaging 1.1 g/t Au over 1.7km.
At the Stibium prospect, extensive gold and antimony mineralization was identified with rock samples grading up to 141 g/t Au and 56.7% Sb across an 800m by 400m zone. The company is advancing U.S. grant applications for antimony development.
Financially, Nova ended March 2025 with A$13.076 million in cash and no debt after Nebari Gold Fund converted its loan to shares. Notable cash flows included A$10.5M from Snow Lake shares sale and A$1.5M from U.S. Nasdaq warrant exercises. The company continues to progress PFS studies, including metallurgical and environmental test work.

The company's antimony assets have gained strategic importance with the advancement of U.S. grant applications. With China recently banning antimony exports and the U.S. Department of Defense seeking secure domestic supply chains, Nova's Stibium prospect (showing samples up to
Financially, Nova has strengthened its position, ending Q1 with
The combination of high-grade gold discoveries, critical minerals exposure (antimony and gallium), solid cash position, and potential U.S. government backing creates a compelling investment case. The systematic advancement of multiple prospects and ongoing PFS studies suggests Nova is methodically de-risking its flagship Estelle project while building additional value through its antimony assets.
Nova's emerging antimony position represents a significant strategic opportunity amid global supply constraints. The Stibium prospect's extensive 800m × 400m gold-antimony zone with rock samples exceeding
What's particularly valuable is the dual-commodity nature of these deposits - antimony grades up to
The gallium discoveries (up to 74.5 ppm) provide additional strategic metal exposure, following China's export restrictions on this semiconductor manufacturing essential. The Defense Department has identified gallium as critical to advanced electronics and weapons systems, making these findings potentially significant beyond their modest scale.
The advancement of U.S. grant applications could fundamentally transform Nova's funding profile for antimony development, potentially providing non-dilutive capital while securing offtake arrangements. This development path could allow Nova to monetize antimony assets separately from its gold resources, creating distinct value streams while addressing critical U.S. supply chain vulnerabilities.
2024 Surface exploration program continues to deliver further high-grade gold rock samples up to 360 g/t Au at Wombat and up to 56.3 g/t Au in the RPM Regional area
RPM glacial debris lobe averages 1.1 g/t Au over 1.7km in till samples
U.S. grant applications for antimony development at an advanced stage
Melbourne, Australia, April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nova Minerals Limited (“Nova” and the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NVA) (ASX: NVA), (FRA: QM3), a gold and critical minerals exploration stage company focused on advancing the Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska, U.S.A. provides its quarterly activities and cashflow report for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Highlights
Estelle Project
- During the quarter Nova received the final assay results from the 2024 exploration program for surface samples taken from the Stoney, Wombat, and regional RPM areas. High priority gold and antimony resource drill targets were also identified at the Stibium prospect.
- Gold Assets – Over 20 Prospects Advancing Including 4 Large Gold Deposits
High-Grade Gold Discoveries Continue at Wombat
-
- Follow-up 2024 rock sampling of the thick, up to 4m, quartz-arsenopyrite veins at Wombat revealed exceptionally high-grade gold along a 1km long strike length with 7 rock samples grading greater than 2 g/t Au and a high of 360 g/t Au (ASX Announcement: January 23, 2025 and Figure 1).
- Multi-element analysis of samples taken from Wombat in 2023 and 2024 also revealed high-grade gallium, with 10 samples grading greater than 30 ppm ga and a high of 74.5 ppm ga. Gallium is another critical mineral for which the U.S. Department of Defense is seeking to secure a domestic supply chain for since China recently banned all exports (ASX Announcement: January 23, 2025 and Figure 2).
RPM Style Gold Identified in Regional Sampling
-
- Surface sampling in the RPM Regional area identifies further high-grade RPM style gold with 20 rock samples grading greater than 1 g/t Au and a high of 52.3 g/t Au, and 11 soil samples grading greater than 0.5 g/t Au with a high of 4.8 g/t Au (ASX Announcement: February 3, 2025 and Figure 3).
- Till samples collected from the RPM glacial debris lobe identified 34 samples grading greater than 1 g/t Au, 10 greater than 2 g/t Au, and a high of 3.6 g/t Au over a 1.7 km length (ASX Announcement: February 3, 2025 and Figure 4).
Gold, Silver, Copper, and Antimony Anomalous at Stoney
-
- Further gold, silver, copper, and antimony samples were discovered in an anomaly hosted in the Stoney Vein with massive exposure with a 10m width, 300m vertical relief, and 1km strike length (ASX Announcement: January 23, 2025).
- Antimony Assets – 7 Gold-Antimony Prospects with U.S. Grant Applications Advanced
High Priority Gold and Antimony Drill Targets Identified at Stibium
- Assay results for soil and rock chip samples have now proven the Stibium prospect is an extensive 800m long by 400m wide gold and antimony rich zone with identified resource drill targets (ASX Announcement: January 14, 2025 and Figures 5 and 6). Best results from the 2024 follow-up reconnaissance mapping and sampling program at Stibium include:
- 16 rock samples grading greater than 5 g/t Au, including 7 grading greater than 20 g/t Au, and a high of 141 g/t Au (ASX Announcement: December 11, 2024).
- 35 soil samples grading greater than 1 g/t Au, with a high of 25.6 g/t Au. For soil samples, grades greater than 1 g/t Au are considered high-grade (ASX Announcement: January 14, 2025 and Figure 5).
- 11 rock samples grading greater than
30% Sb, with a high of56.7% Sb (ASX Announcement: December 5, 2024). - 10 soil samples grading greater than
0.1% Sb, with a high of2.8% Sb. For soil samples, grades greater than0.1% Sb are considered high-grade (ASX Announcement: January 14, 2025 and Figure 6).

- Notable investing and operating cash flow items during the quarter included: A
$10.5M cash proceeds from the sale of the Snow Lake shares, A$1.5M proceeds from the exercise of U.S. Nasdaq warrants, A$1.1M exploration and evaluation costs, principally related to the PFS test work, mining and environmental studies, sample analysis, and camp running costs, A$403 k administration and corporate expenses, the majority of which are related to marketing and share registry costs, and A$301 k for antimony grant consulting costs, audit, tax and legal fees. - Payments to related parties in Q3 FY25 were A
