[{"type":"text","content":" Ongoing aircore drilling (“AC”) at Becher continues to deliver significant intercepts (> 2 g*m in tenor), with key recent results including: 39 m @ 0.25 g/t Au from 81 m including 3 m @ 0.41 g/t Au from 108 m in F1843 18 m @ 0.38 g/t Au from 21 m including 9 m @ 0.56 g/t Au from 30 m also in F1843 12 m @ 0.43 g/t Au from 57 m including 6 m @ 0.66 g/t Au from 60 m also in F1843 30 m @ 0.2 g/t Au from 3 m including 3 m @ 0.38 g/t Au from 12 m in F1924 13 m @ 0.35 g/t Au from 36 m including 10 m @ 0.42 g/t Au from 39 m also in F1924 9m @ 0.39 g/t Au from 54m including 6 m @ 0.45 g/t Au from 54 m in F1838 6m @ 0.36 g/t Au from 48m including 3 m @ 0.6 g/t Au from 51 m in F1881 Becher is Novo’s flagship project located in the northern sector of the Egina Gold Camp and 28 km along trend from De Grey Mining Limited’s 10.6 Moz Au (JORC 2012)1 Mallina Gold Project. Novo has completed over 50,000 m of AC drilling to date at Becher with significant gold and multi-element assay results generated, defining a large priority area of mineralisation across some 5 sq km. The exciting results from this program have confirmed Novo’s plans to extend the drilling program. Both geological setting and pathfinder multielement assays compare favourably to the adjacent Mallina Gold Project mineralisation, with planning for deeper drilling underway. 720 AC holes for over 20,000 m have been completed in 2023, with majority on 320 m spaced infill drill lines at Heckmair and some on closer spaced lines at Irvine. Assays are pending for 80 holes. Recent drilling, focused on gold anomalies previously identified in the Irvine Shear corridor in proximity to the Heckmair intrusion, continues to identify intercepts across a significant strike length. The Nunyerry North Prospect, located in the southern section of the Egina Gold Camp, is the next target that Novo is progressing as part of its aggressive Pilbara exploration program. A high-grade soil anomaly has previously been identified at Nunyerry North and ethnographic and archaeological heritage clearances have been completed, allowing final drill program design and planning for the Company’s maiden RC drill program to commence in H2 2023. Commenting on the drill program, Novo Executive Co-Chairman and Acting CEO Mike Spreadborough said, “We are very excited by the results generated from our large ongoing air...
