Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA) has announced new results from the RPM North deposit at the company’s flagship Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project, located in the Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska.
The company’s 2025 drill program covered seven diamond core holes drilled at RPM North. The program was designed as follow-up to previous drilling in the east, where they intersected 259m @ 0.5 grams per tonne gold from surface.
The latest results demonstrate near-surface gold intersections, supporting potential upgrades to the existing Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at the main deposit.
Key intersections at hole RPM-080 include 180m @ 0.7g/t gold from 4m, including 108m @ 1.1g/t gold from 4m, 27m @ 2.5g/t gold from 11m, and 7m @ 8.1g/t gold from 11m.
CEO Christopher Gerteisen says that the company is pleased with the latest results and that they “support the continuity of mineralisation across the deposit and indicate that a zone of further mineralisation extends to the east, which remains open along strike”.
“RPM continues to demonstrate the excellent potential of Estelle as a future, tier-one North American gold project,” Gerteisen says.
“We plan to build on the successes achieved to date, with further exploration aimed at identifying additional mineralisation in 2026.”
The company will release additional drill results once they’ve been received and reviewed by the company, after which they will release an updated mineral resource estimate incorporating the results from the 2023 – 2025 drill programs.
Nova Minerals is exploring for gold, antimony, and other critical minerals with a focus on the Estelle Project in Alaska.
