Adelong Gold (ASX:ADG) has appointed Christopher Gerteisen as non-executive director on the company’s board as of today (6 May).
Gerteisen has more than 30 years of experience with resources projects located in Asia, Australia, and North America.
Gerteisen was nominated for the role by Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA), a substantial shareholder. He has served as Nova’s CEO and Executive Director since 2019, managing and advancing projects from greenfield exploration through operational production.
In his role at Nova, Gerteisen is focused on leading the Estelle Gold, Antimony, and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska’s Tintina Gold Belt, covering 514km2 of mining claims.
Chairman Mena Habib says Gerteisen “brings exactly the experience Adelong needs” as the company focuses on advancing its Lauriston gold-antimony system.
“With the recent assays at Comet confirming high-grade gold within the Comet Shear, and the first antimony hits at New Trojan now in hand, his track record in moving projects from discovery into production — and his current work on antimony in Alaska — is directly relevant to where we are taking Lauriston,” Habib says.
“Adelong’s strategic relationship with Nova Minerals remains strong. Chris’s appointment reflects the continued commitment of both companies to that partnership, as we move through the maiden Lauriston drill campaign and assess the antimony potential of the project.”
Gerteisen says he is pleased to join the board at this point in the company’s development.
“The recent drilling results at Lauriston, including high-grade gold at Comet and the first antimony hits at New Trojan, validate the geological model and confirm what drew Nova to the project at our cornerstone investment in September 2025,” Gerteisen says.
“Lauriston sits in one of Australia’s most productive gold corridors, alongside Agnico Eagle’s Fosterville Mine.
“The emerging antimony discovery at New Trojan is strategically aligned with Nova’s broader interest in critical minerals and complements the work we are advancing at Estelle in Alaska.”
Nova Minerals became a substantial shareholder of Adelong after making a $1-million cornerstone investment in September 2025.
Adelong Gold is an Australian exploration company progressing towards gold production at the flagship Adelong Goldfield Project in New South Wales.
