NVA CEO, Mr. Christopher Gerteisen commented:
"These spectacular grades obtained from RPM alongside the encouraging drill result that was re-sampled from the 2012 diamond drill hole SE12-008 (ASX 17 September 2019) opens up another Estelle target which we anticipate to drill in 2021, in line with our plans to unlock a district containing multiple, large-scale gold deposits. Nova commenced its IRGS exploration in 2018, is now funded and has a highly qualified local exploration team. RPM is presenting surface features indicative of a much larger footprint for resource delineation than first thought. The team is confident in growing the pipeline of Tier 1 assets within the project area. The commencement of drilling at RPM is scheduled for 2021 and marks the start of Nova''s next growth phase for the benefit of all stakeholders. In time, we expect to define multiple new shallow gold resources that will further support our goal of building a centralised mill and heap leach facility as we continue on our path towards gold production."
