- Maiden drilling at Cathedral and infill drilling at Korbel Main, in the saddle area within the proposed conceptual Korbel Main pit zone with the goal being to convert additional Inferred resources from the 8.1 Moz total gold resource (3.0 Moz Indicated | 5.1 Moz Inferred - ASX Announcement: 23 December 2021) into the higher Indicated category, was completed during the quarter with assays pending (Assays results for Korbel are taking even longer as they are on standard order).

- RPM North infill and extensional drilling along strike from the major discovery hole RPM-005 at RPM North, where the Company hit an incredible intercept of 132m @ 10.1g/t (ASX Announcement: 11 September 2021) was completed during the quarter and all assay results have now been received and reported. Significant new high grade drill results received over the quarter.

Nova CEO, Mr Christopher Gerteisen commented: "It has been another very busy quarter for the Nova team with an additional 30,000m of definition and extensional drilling conducted in 2022, the global resource is set to grow in size and confidence from the current 9.6 Moz and we look forward to its delivery in the coming weeks. Following that, the Phase 2 Scoping Study will be completed with PFS level drilling focused mainly on RPM and now the Train areas commencing soon after.

With long-term opportunity and the prospect of multiple mining complexes and processing plants across the single project as outlined in figure 5*, we continue on our path to becoming a world class, global gold producer."
