Nova Minerals Redomiciles to U.S., Launches 2026 Drilling with US$43.4M DOD Funding
NVA•Nova Minerals has completed its redomicile to the United States and commenced 2026 drilling at its Estelle Project in Alaska, targeting stibnite-bearing veins at Stibium and gold anomalies at RPM. The company secured US$43.4 million in US Department of Defense funding for its antimony project and began infrastructure expansion.
1. US Redomicile Completion
Nova Minerals has finalized its legal shift from Australia to the United States, listing its common stock and warrants on the NYSE American under NVA and NVAWS symbols while maintaining ASX trading under CDIs. The move simplifies its regulatory framework and positions the company closer to U.S. capital markets.
2. 2026 Drilling Program
Field operations kicked off in June with a drill rig at Stibium exploring stibnite-bearing veins and a separate rig at RPM targeting gold anomalies along the two-mile ridge. The 2026 program will advance resource definition at RPM North, RPM Valley and test new zones across the main ridge.
3. ZTEM Survey and Exploration
A nearly 2,000 line-mile Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic survey across the Estelle claim block has identified multiple reduced intrusion-related gold targets, with data interpretation under way. Concurrent mapping, sampling and generative exploration continue at RPM, West Wing and Portage Pass.
4. Infrastructure and Funding
Site improvements include six miles of trail construction, airstrip expansion and preparation for antimony processing facilities, with camp upgrades in progress. The company has procured key mining equipment and secured US$43.4 million in U.S. Department of Defense funding for its antimony project.
