Event Summary

Novo Resources Corp. is commencing extensive drill programs across its Australia — Pilbara projects in Australia, including the Wyloo Antimony Project, Cronus Gold Project, Balla Balla Gold Project, and Teichman Project. This follows the completion of Tranche 1 of the company's capital raising in March 2026. The Wyloo Antimony Project will see an initial 2,500m RC drill program to test polymetallic vein systems and stratabound mineralisation, following historical antimony anomalies. At the Cronus Gold Project, approximately 2,000m of RC drilling will target the Titan Shear Zone. The Balla Balla Gold Project will have 6,000m of Aircore drilling to infill previous anomalies along the Sholl Shear. Drill planning is also underway for the Teichman Project for Q3 2026. These exploration efforts aim to define new gold and antimony targets and advance existing prospects, potentially increasing Novo Resources' asset value and contributing to the supply of these commodities.
