Nova Minerals Uncovers 24.6 g/t Gold Anomaly, Sets 2026 Drill Targets
Nova Minerals reported surface sampling from its Estelle Project’s RPM area yielded high-grade gold assays including 24.6 g/t from rock and 5.5 g/t from soil. The RPM ridgeline and western anomalies are now top drill targets for 2026, potentially enhancing project valuation.
1. 2025 Surface Sampling Program
Nova Minerals’ geologist team conducted an extensive 2025 surface exploration at the Estelle Project, covering over 75 line kilometers with 430 soil, 170 rock and 26 stream sediment samples across the RPM regional and ridgeline area.
2. High-Grade Gold Anomalies
Surface assays from RPM returned three rock samples above 10 g/t Au, led by a 24.6 g/t result, and three soil samples above 1 g/t Au, peaking at 5.5 g/t, highlighting new high-grade gold anomalies to the west and north of the main ridgeline.
3. 2026 Drill Targets and Outlook
Integrated geological, geochemical and drone magnetometry data identify the RPM ridgeline northern extension and western spur anomalies as priority drill targets for 2026, with successful results expected to materially boost the project’s resource potential and valuation.
