Nova Minerals says AIDEA authorizes up to $25 million for West Susitna access road work
NVA•Road scope and project progress
The road plan covers 78.5 miles from near Alexander Creek to the Whiskey Bravo airstrip, linking into a separate 22-mile state project.
Geotechnical work progressed at material sites, Little Susitna River bridge testing and Susitna River bridge pier drilling; remaining in-river work is slated for May–July 2027.
Why the access road matters for Estelle
Estelle access underpins a planned Port MacKenzie antimony refinery; phase 1 antimony trisulfide production is backed by a $43.4 million DoW award.
AIDEA authorization for West Susitna Access Road
AIDEA authorized up to $25 million to advance the West Susitna Access Road supporting Nova Minerals’ Estelle gold and critical minerals project.
Funding targets geotechnical drilling, permitting, engineering, hydrologic work and access preparations across the 2026/2027 field seasons.
