Nova Minerals Corp finds gold and minerals in Alaska. These materials help build electronics and military equipment. The company works to supply these items to the United States.

What Nova Mines

• Gold Exploration: Development of the 85% owned Estelle Project in Alaska; seeks to recover gold for use in jewelry and investment products.
• Antimony Production: Extraction of a critical mineral for ammunition primers and flame retardants; focuses on creating a secure domestic supply chain.
• Critical Minerals: Identification of essential materials like stibnite through surface sampling and drilling at more than 20 advanced prospects.

Recent Strategic Milestones

• Completed a redomiciliation from Australia to the United States on June 16, 2026.
• Received a $43.4 million award from the U.S. government in October 2025 to develop antimony processing.
