Submission For Permitting West Susitna Access Road To Estelle Project

ANCHORAGE, AK – Nova Minerals Limited announced that the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) has submitted its application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the permitting of the West Susitna Access Road. The permitting process for the all-weather public and industrial road will occur in 2025-2026 and further strengthens Nova’s momentum as it advances the Estelle Project.
The proposed 78.5-mile long road will begin approximately 1.4 miles west of Alexander Creek and extend to the Whiskey Bravo airstrip and mineral exploration camp. Following the Skwentna River’s northern edge before crossing to its southern side, the route is designed to allow year-round public access to lands that are currently difficult to reach except by air or water.
As a company deeply committed to advancing responsible exploration and unlocking Alaska’s critical mineral potential, Nova Minerals sees this project as essential infrastructure for future development in the region. With this road in place, not only will essential logistics and access be significantly improved, but new opportunities are expected to also arise for Alaskan families, local businesses, and resource developers alike.
CEO, Christopher Gerteisen, said, “The West Susitna Access Road represents a critical step forward for the Mat-Su region, Alaska, and beyond. This transformative infrastructure project is expected to not only unlock significant economic opportunities by facilitating resource development, but also enhance local access and create jobs in the process. We are proud to support AIDEA and the state’s ongoing efforts to build a stronger, more sustainable future through infrastructure development. The state’s commitment to expanding access to Alaska’s vast public lands aligns well with our shared vision for long-term economic growth and national security. We are excited to see the potential positive impact this project could have on both the local community and the state’s broader economic landscape.”
