• Field observations and 2025 surface assays have identified new gold anomalies west of RPM and along the northern end of the main RPM ridge
• Three rock samples grading >10 g/t Au including a high of 24.6 g/t Au, and three soil samples grading >1 g/t Au with a peak of 5.5 g/t Au
• The RPM ridgeline is slated as a high-priority drill target for 2026

Nova Minerals Ltd has announced the discovery of further high-grade gold samples up to 24.6 g/t Au adjacent to the RPM deposit and along the northern end of the main RPM ridge at its Estelle Gold Project in Alaska. Field observations and 2025 surface sampling have identified new gold anomalies emerging to the west of RPM and along the northern end of the main RPM ridgeline. The anomalies are highlighted by three rock samples grading over 10 g/t Au, including a high of 24.6 g/t Au, and three soil samples grading over 1 g/t Au with a peak of 5.5 g/t Au. These results build on earlier surface reconnaissance along the RPM ridge line, which previously returned high-grade gold assays. The company's geologist team has stated that the integrated geological, geochemical, and geophysical data, including initial interpretations from drone magnetometry 3D inversion processing, all support a compelling drill target at the northern extension of the RPM ridge. The RPM ridgeline is slated as a high-priority drill target for 2026 as the company aims to identify the next high-grade pod similar to RPM North. Nova is pleased with the new discoveries and plans to expand on the 24.6 g/t Au anomaly in 2026.

The RPM ridgeline is slated as a high-priority drill target for 2026 as the company aims to identify the next high-grade pod similar to RPM North. Further results and potential new discoveries from the 2025 surface exploration mapping and sampling program are expected in the coming weeks.
