Anchorage Alaska, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nova Minerals Limited (“Nova” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NVA) (ASX: NVA) (FRA: QM3) ) is pleased to announce that it has commenced procurement of critical mining and processing equipment for its Estelle starter antimony mining operations and associated downstream antimony refinery at the deep-water Port Mackenzie, Alaska, with first production of military-grade antimony trisulfide targeted for 2026/27.

Highlights

Nova has commenced procurement of critical mining and processing equipment for its Estelle starter antimony mining operations and associated downstream antimony refinery at the deep-water Port Mackenzie, Alaska, with first production of military-grade antimony trisulfide targeted for 2026/27.

Robust balance sheet with access to approximately A$83.0M in funding comprising of, A$17.5M in cash, and a US$43.4M (A$65.5M) 24-month award from the U.S. Department of War to support antimony production in Alaska, which we believe provide a solid foundation to advance its strategic objectives. These resources are expected to ensure the Company is well-funded to execute its ambitious antimony and gold development programs without delay.

Front End Engineering Design (FEED), and logistics studies are advancing in parallel and nearing completion, finalizing key operational parameters. These efforts align with the DoW award and U.S. national defense priorities, positioning Nova as a strategic contributor to the domestic critical minerals supply chain.

Key equipment purchases include:

Mining fleet for onsite operations (Figure 1).

Crusher and screening plant (Figure 1).

Ore sorters to be installed at both the Whiskey Bravo camp and Port Mackenzie refinery sites (Figure 1).

Additional processing infrastructure, including a mill, flotation, and gravity circuits, is also currently being procured for transport to site via the snow road in early 2026.

Onsite ore sorters and concentration circuits to be utilized to process the stibnite stockpiles already at camp for near term antimony production.

Nova continues to attract interest from other antimony projects seeking offtake agreements beyond the Estelle Project’s stockpiles, and is advancing discussions with strategic partners to secure additional antimony supply.

With key mining and processing equipment secured for near-term delivery, zoned industrial land, strong government support, and established infrastructure at the Port Mackenzie proposed refinery site, we believe that Nova is well positioned as the sole emerging, fully integrated U.S. antimony producer.

2025 drilling and surface sampling programs have been completed with all assays pending. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) will commence once results are received, aimed at further expanding and defining Nova’s multi-million ounce gold resource base.

All equipment is scheduled for delivery in the coming months, ahead of transportation to site via the snow road in January 2026.

Equipment purchases include two ore sorters, following successful ore sorting test work which demonstrated strong potential for onsite recovery and upgrading of antimony ore. A 500 kg Styx sample achieved 60.3% antimony recovery in 26.1% of the mass from a single pass, increasing the feed grade from 15.2% to 35.2% Sb — a 2.3-fold improvement (ASX Announcement: 8 August 2025).

One ore sorter will be installed at the Whiskey Bravo camp to process stibnite ore stockpiled during the current field season, producing a concentrate suitable for feed to the downstream refinery at Port MacKenzie. The second ore sorter will be located at the proposed Port MacKenzie refinery site to potentially upgrade feedstock from other prospective antimony offtake sources currently under discussion.

These mining and processing equipment purchases are expected to further advance Nova’s strategy to fast-track the establishment of a fully integrated U.S. domestic antimony supply chain centred at Port MacKenzie, Alaska.

Nova CEO, Mr Christopher Gerteisen, commented: “Nova is rapidly progressing to become a fully-integrated domestic producer of military-grade antimony. As a leader in this critical sector, we are focused on securing a robust domestic supply chain for this vital defence material. Fuelled by a non-dilutive US$43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War, we are currently procuring mining and processing equipment expected for delivery in January 2026. We’re currently ahead of schedule, moving towards our first expected production by 2026/27 with urgency.

We expect these assets will allow us to begin processing stibnite stockpiles from Estelle into high-value concentrate with further refining at our Port Mackenzie facility. Bolstered by Port Mac district commercial industrial-zoned land, unwavering federal, state and local government support, and surging demand from partners offering us further feedstock, we believe that Nova is well positioned to be a leader as one of the nation’s antimony producers.

We have built a strong committed team over the years and continue to add experience, all aligned to seize the opportunity to cement Nova’s first mover advantage. While we move the company towards production, we are also striving to foster America’s antimony independence.

In parallel, our exploration team continues to advance the broader Estelle Gold Project, with the 2025 drilling and sampling programs now complete and assays pending. The forthcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update is expected to further demonstrate the scale and quality of Nova’s growing gold and antimony portfolio in Alaska.”

Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA): Assessing Valuation After U.S. Funding and Key Alaska Permits Drive Share Surge
Simply Wall St
October 20, 2025

Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA) has taken center stage after securing major U.S. government funding for its Estelle project in Alaska, along with key permits to develop an antimony refinery near Port MacKenzie. The company’s invitation to brief U.S. and Australian leaders ahead of the Trump and Albanese summit has added extra momentum to investor enthusiasm.

NVA’s meteoric run has captured the spotlight, fueled by game-changing government support and strategic milestones. Following the recent U.S. defense grant and crucial refinery permits, shares rocketed 372% over the past month and are up more than 309% for the year-to-date. Total shareholder return tops 687% for the year, highlighting a surge in momentum that outpaces much of the market and reflects growing confidence in Nova’s role within the critical minerals sector.

If Nova’s breakout has piqued your curiosity, now is a smart moment to broaden your search and discover fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With shares posting explosive gains on high-profile funding and government backing, the key question for investors is whether Nova Minerals’ current valuation leaves room for future upside, or if the recent rally has already factored in next-stage growth potential.
Price-to-Book Ratio of 6x: Is it justified?

NVA’s current share price implies a price-to-book ratio of 6x, which is notably higher than both sector and peer benchmarks. This elevated multiple is reflected in the last close of A$1.535 and suggests that investors are factoring in considerable future potential rather than present fundamentals.

The price-to-book ratio measures how much investors are willing to pay for every dollar of net assets. In resource sectors, it often signals investor confidence in future project returns or asset revaluations, especially as companies approach major operational milestones.

In NVA’s case, a multiple of 6x is well above the Australian Metals and Mining industry average of 2.4x and the peer average of 5.2x. The current valuation indicates that the market anticipates Nova’s upcoming projects and strategic positioning could drive substantial long-term value, warranting a premium that points to very high expectations reflected in the share price.

See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.

Result: Price-to-Book Ratio of 6x (OVERVALUED)

However, risks remain if anticipated project milestones are delayed or if future government support does not materialize as strongly as investors expect.
