Rodrigo's vast experience in unlocking the value of mining projects across the world, including specific expertise in large tonnage bulk mining operations, has already proven valuable as we progress our next level studies, and we are extremely pleased that he has agreed to join the Nova Board at this exciting time in the Company's development.

The Company is led by a team of genuine, dedicated and capable individuals committed to developing Estelle as the next significant US gold producer. The combination of the bulk, low-cost mining approach combined with the latest intercepts seen at RPM (132m @ 10.1 g/t Au), is prompt to deliver very interesting returns to shareholders."
