In this episode, we chat with Christopher Gerteisen who is the Executive Director and CEO of Nova Minerals, a minerals explorer and developer focused on gold and lithium projects in North America and has made substantial progress toward becoming Alaska’s next low-cost gold producer having built up an inventory of nearly 10 million ounces in resources, which continues to grow rapidly both in size and more importantly confidence levels.

With 21 prospects, including two already defined large deposits, Nova is unlocking the wider Estelle Gold Trend, similar in scale and potential resources to Nevada’s Carlin Trend – one of the richest gold mining districts in the world.

Christopher is a geologist by background with 20 years of experience managing and advancing complex and challenging resource projects across the world. He’s going to talk about developing North America’s next major gold trend, moving quickly towards joining the ranks of +10Moz explorers in Alaska, and the recent discovery of multiple advanced prospects. It's quite interesting talking of a project of Estelle’s magnitude one would consider an asset a major would own but with a market cap of a junior, which in itself is an exceptional opportunity

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Nova Minerals is focused on developing the Estelle Gold Project in Alaska, with significant resources in gold and critical metals like antimony.
• Nova Minerals is planning to list on the US stock exchange, aiming to attract more investors and increase its market value.
• The company plans to conduct aggressive drilling and exploration activities, focusing on expanding resources at RPM and exploring new prospects like the Train area.
• Nova Minerals is on a path to production, with plans to complete a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) by the end of 2025 and potentially start production by 2028-2029.
• With a strong focus on gold and critical minerals, Nova Minerals presents an attractive investment opportunity, especially considering the leverage to the gold price and potential for byproduct credits.

BEST MOMENTS

"We're on a path to production. So we're not here to flip the project or anything like that. We're an aspiring gold producer."

"Our ounces in the ground are valued at less than a dollar. The leverage to the gold price for a project like this is just phenomenal, right? It's one of those once in a lifetime things."

"We're on a lot. We're on their radar.  A lot of them, have are looking for us to advance a bit further. Some of them want us to see to get to PFS."
