• Heavy equipment and supplies delivered for mining, extraction, and processing of antimony ore
• Snow trail construction and largest-ever freight delivery to site completed

Nova Minerals Limited (ASX: NVA, Nasdaq: NVA, FSE: QM3) has announced the successful completion of its 2026 winter freight mobilization to the Estelle Project in Alaska. All essential heavy equipment and supplies needed for the mining, extraction, and processing of antimony ore under the Department of War (DoW) award have now been delivered to the site. This includes heavy earthmoving and haulage equipment, construction materials for the Stibium access trail, crushing and processing equipment, and camp expansion and logistics items. The snow trail construction commenced in November, extending from Willow toward the Estelle Camp, with the team successfully completing its largest-ever freight delivery to site -- approximately 1.5 million pounds of freight -- throughout March and into early April. With the equipment now on site, the company is ready to start construction of a trail to the Stibium prospect, expand the existing airstrip, and build an ore sorting and onsite processing plant at the camp. The company is also planning an aggressive drill program for 2026, which is shaping up to be a very busy and productive year for Nova.

Nova is focused on advancing the Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska, including the development of a domestic antimony supply chain, with production targeted for late 2026/2027.
