Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA) has announced the successful completion of the 2026 winter freight mobilisation to the Estelle Project in Alaska, with all essential equipment and supplies delivered to the site.
The company commenced snow trail construction in November 2025, and its team completed the largest-ever freight delivery to Estelle, moving around 1.5 million pounds from March 2026 to early April.
Key equipment delivered includes heavy earthmoving and haulage equipment, stibium access trail construction materials, process plant equipment, excavators with drill attachments, and all items needed for camp expansion, logistics, transport, and operational support.
General Manager and geologist Hans Hoffman says that the company is proud of how the team came together to deliver “the largest freight season ever seen this end of the Skwentna River”.
“With our fleet of equipment on site, this project is now complete, and we are ready to start three new ones: constructing a trail to Stibium, expanding the existing airstrip, and building an ore sorting and onsite processing plant at camp.
“Combined with an aggressive drill program, 2026 is shaping up to be a very busy and productive yefor Nova.”
Nova Minerals is advancing a large, undeveloped gold-antimony deposit into production to help secure US domestic supply of key critical minerals.
