Executive Summary

  • Novo Resources has commenced a maiden reverse‑circulation (RC) drilling program at Sherlock Crossing (West Pilbara) – 8 holes, ~1,000 m total, to be completed September 2025 with results expected mid‑October.
  • Rock‑chip sampling at the Southeast Wyloo prospect (South Pilbara) returned high‑grade polymetallic assays, e.g., up to 482 g/t Ag, 1.29 % Sb, 0.93 g/t Au, 9.7 % Cu, 15.95 % Zn.
  • Northern Star Resources began air‑core drilling in the Farno JV area; Novo’s Tibooburra (NSW) RC program produced high‑grade gold intercepts (12 m @ 5.90 g/t Au and 17 m @ 2.40 g/t Au). Additional field work continues at Tibooburra, New Bendigo, and Pioneer.
  • A ~1,750 m RC drill program is planned for the John Bull Gold Project (Q4 2025) pending regulatory/land‑access approvals.

Key Details

  • Sherlock Crossing (Au‑Sb) – 8 RC holes on 4 sections; ~1,000 m total length; strike length 300 m; aims to test continuity of high‑grade veins and define plunge.
  • Wyloo (Sb‑Ag‑Au) – Rock‑chip sampling highlights:
  • 482 g/t Ag, 1.29 % Sb, 0.93 g/t Au, 9.7 % Cu, 15.95 % Zn (sample R07598).
  • Additional notable assays listed in Table 1 (e.g., 0.93 g/t Au & 482 g/t Ag; 0.39 g/t Au & 42 % Cu).
  • Northern Star JV (Egina Farm‑in) – Air‑core drilling commenced at Farno area (E47/2502); potential for follow‑up RC or diamond drilling.
  • Balla Balla Gold Project – Maiden air‑core program in Q2 2025 identified polymetallic anomalies; follow‑up drilling planned Q4 2025.
  • Tibooburra Gold Project (NSW) – Clone RC drill results:
  • Hole TBR0001: 12 m @ 5.90 g/t Au from 16 m (incl. 5 m @ 13.74 g/t Au).
  • Hole TBR0014: 17 m @ 2.40 g/t Au from 59 m (incl. 9 m @ 4.14 g/t Au).
  • Ongoing work at Tibooburra includes downhole televiewer logging, relogging historic core, and detailed mapping to define further drill targets.
  • John Bull Gold Project – Planned ~1,750 m RC program targeting four zones (Main, South, Hills Creek West, Diggers North) in Q4 2025 pending approvals.
