• 1,500m x 800m gold-copper anomaly delineated at West Wing
• Soil and rock samples returned high-grade gold and copper assays
• Detailed mapping and drill targeting at West Wing a top priority for 2026

Nova Minerals has announced the discovery of a new large-scale gold-copper system at the West Wing prospect within its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska. Field observations and 2025 surface sampling have delineated a gold-copper anomaly at West Wing measuring approximately 1,500m by 800m. The anomaly is supported by high-grade rock samples up to 15.5 g/t Au and 6.9% Cu, as well as soil samples up to 3.8 g/t Au and 0.55% Cu. These results build on earlier high-grade surface sampling at West Wing. The West Wing anomaly is primarily hosted in hornfels sedimentary rock adjacent to the Estelle pluton, which is a different deposit style than the typical Estelle mineralization. Nova's geologist team will make detailed mapping and drill targeting at West Wing a top priority for the 2026 field season.

Detailed mapping and drill targeting at the newly discovered West Wing gold-copper system will be a top priority for Nova's field crews in 2026.
