Nova Minerals said the final major equipment pieces arrived at Port MacKenzie on October 6. The company said the delivery enables construction of the planned processing and refinery facility to begin in coming weeks, subject to remaining permits.
The company said it completed an approximately 8,000-metre diamond drilling program at Estelle, focused on infill and resource-expansion work at the RPM gold deposit for the pre-feasibility study. Samples and drill core have been shipped for analysis, with results expected later, according to Nova.
Nova said it sourced processing and milling equipment from a recently decommissioned North American site. Early earthworks are under way, while construction of the antimony processing facility is to commence after final permits are received. The company projects first antimony in 2027.
