Nova Minerals (ASX: NVA) has ramped up its 2025 drilling program at the RPM deposit within the Estelle Project in Alaska — with two diamond rigs and one RC rig now operating on site.
The goal? To expand and potentially connect the RPM North and RPM Valley zones, and to investigate near-surface mineralisation within the valley fill. Nova is also preparing for a maiden drilling campaign at the Stibium prospect — a key antimony-gold target.
In parallel, Nova also wrapped up close-spaced RC drilling in the Korbel starter pit and continues broader resource definition drilling to support its Pre-Feasibility Study.
Nova's Exploration Manager, Hans Hoffman said: "Drilling activities at RPM are progressing at full pace, and we look forward to receiving assay results in the near term.”
The company is also deepening talks with the US Department of Defense, which is considering grant funding to support development of Nova’s antimony assets.
