Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA) announced results from its 2025 surface sampling program, highlighting the discovery of a new gold-copper anomaly at the West Wing prospect within its flagship Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska.
Situated in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt, the West Wing area has yielded surface assay results that define an anomaly measuring approximately 1,500m by 800m.
The company reported high-grade findings from the field, including seven rock samples grading over 3 gt/Au with a peak value of15.5 gt/au.
Additionally, sixteen soil samples returned grades exceeding $1. The copper potential was also confirmed, with rock samples grading up to 6.9 gt/Cu.
Nova Minerals’ General Manager and Geologist, Hans Hoffman, noted that the results build on earlier reconnaissance efforts from 2024.
He emphasised that the discovery of multi-gram gold and multi-percent copper samples suggests West Wing could represent a different style of deposit than is typical for the broader Estelle project.
The company plans to make detailed mapping and drill targeting at West Wing a top priority for field crews during the upcoming 2026 season.
At the time of reporting, Nova Minerals' share price was $0.93.
