Further High-Grade Gold Discovered At RPM

ANCHORAGE, AK – Nova Minerals Limited reported on surface sampling program in the RPM regional and ridgeline area of the Company’s flagship Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project, located in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska.
Field observations and 2025 surface assays have identified new gold anomalies emerging to the west of RPM and along the northern end of the main RPM ridgeline. Anomaly highlighted by: 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. These results build on earlier surface reconnaissance along the RPM ridge line, which previously returned 20 rock samples > 1.0 g/t Au, with a high of 52.3 g/t Au, and 11 soil samples > 0.5 g/t Au, with a high of 4.8 g/t Au. 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.
General Manager and Geologist, Hans Hoffman, said, “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. Surface sampling has returned multi-gram gold assays from stockwork quartz veining in both hornfels and intrusive host rocks, with magnetic signatures along the ridgeline showing strong analogies to the main RPM deposit. Drill testing of these anomalies is a high priority for our 2026 program, and given its strategic location along access routes to RPM, any success here has the potential to deliver substantial upside to the Estelle Project.
“It’s too early to say what we have found a couple of kilometres to the west, but with grades up to 24.6 g/t Au, we will definitely be back in 2026 to expand on this anomaly.”
