Novo Resources Corp. provided an update on its Pilbara-wide exploration completed during H1 2025, including the Balla Balla Gold Project AC drill program. In the Pilbara the focus for the second half will be on high-grade gold and gold- antimony exploration projects.
Novo has also been actively exploring its New South Wales projects, undertaking RC drilling at the Tibooburra Gold Project (results pending) and preparation work, including mapping and geochemical sampling, at the John Bull Gold Project. Drilling is expected to commence at John Bull in early third quarter of 2025 (weather and access approval permitting). HIGHLIGHTS: Novo has advanced Pilbara high-grade gold and gold-antimony prospects which will be the focus for exploration and drilling in second half of 2025.
Exploration at the Sherlock Crossing Au-Sb prospect has defined a coherent 1. 5 km antimony in soil anomaly (at > 15 ppm Sb), with gold anomalism up to 85 ppb Au, with all heritage and compliance approvals now in place for exploration drilling. At the Southeast Wyloo Au-Sb-Ag-Cu Project, plans are in place to complete mapping and rock chip sampling in preparation for drill program planning. Heritage access approval has been obtained for low-impact exploration work at the Teichman gold prospect in the northern Egina Gold Camp, within the Yandeyarra Reserve.
High-grade gold has been defined during historic rock sampling programs in the area. Results from reconnaisance aircore (AC) drilling at Balla Balla delineated broad zones of low-level gold anomalism (peak 0. 114 ppm Au) along the Sholl Shear. Significant results from multielement assays of bottom hole samples and select drill holes include 96.
8 ppm Ag, 182 ppm Sb, 353 ppm Cu, and 71. 6 ppm Bi. Northern Star Resources Limited, Novo's new partner in the Egina Farm-in/Joint Venture arrangement (following its acquisition of De Grey Mining) has commenced reviewing previous data in planning for future exploration programs.
