Extension Of Gold Anomaly At The Muddy Creek Prospect
ANCHORAGE, AK - Nova Minerals Limited reported additional high-grade gold surface sample assay results from its 2024 exploration season with 6 rock samples grading > 10 g/t Au and 8 soil samples grading > 2 g/t Au, confirming a 400m extension to the high-grade gold zone at its Muddy Creek prospect, within its over 500km2 Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project located in the Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska.
2024 surface reconnaissance comprising of 14 rock samples, with a high of 128.5 g/t Au, and 11 soil samples, with a high of 6.3 g/t Au, continue to show Muddy Creek to be one of the most impressive gold anomalies on the claim block with these results extending the high-grade zone by approximately 400 meters. Previously announced results from Muddy Creek in 2023 included six samples greater than 50 g/t Au – 127.5 g/t Au, 90.5 g/t Au, 76.8 g/t Au, 75.5 g/t Au, 65.6 g/t Au, and 51.8 g/t Au.
The Muddy Creek high-grade zone now measures 800m x 400m. Mineralization hosted in arsenopyrite-bearing quartz veins in granodiorite intrusive rocks consistent with intrusion-related gold deposits. Part of a larger mineralized trend greater than 4km including the Muddy Creek, Discovery, Shadow, Shoeshine, and Train prospects. Results incoming on the remainder of the 2024 sampling, including the Stibium antimony-gold prospect, and further regional exploration from the broader RPM and Stoney areas.
