Commitments Received for ~A$8.2m Placement

Novo Secures Critical Exploration Funding as High-Grade Antimony and Gold Targets Move Toward Maiden Drilling

Executive Summary

The most recent news (February 24–26, 2026) details a successful capital raising of approximately C$7.9 million (A$8.2 million) through a placement of units and Chess Depository Interests (CDIs). The financing was upsized from an initial target of C$5.8 million. Units are priced at C$0.10, each including a half-warrant exercisable at C$0.15 for three years. The funds are specifically earmarked for 2026 drilling programs at high-priority Western Australian projects (Wyloo, Balla Balla, Teichman) and the Belltopper Gold Project in Victoria.

Material Impact
  • Liquidity Injection: This is a material positive development. As of September 30, 2025, the company’s cash had dwindled to C$2.28 million (from C$10.6 million at the start of 2024). Without this raise, the company would have lacked the capital to execute its 2026 drill season.
  • Validation of Strategy: The upsized demand (from C$5.8M to C$7.9M) suggests institutional support for Novo’s pivot toward high-grade gold-antimony (Au-Sb) targets, which are currently in high market demand.
  • Exploration Continuity: The funding ensures the 1,500m RC program at Wyloo and the 6,000m AC program at Balla Balla can proceed in Q2 2026.
  • Dilution: While necessary, the issuance of ~77.9 million new shares/CDIs represents significant dilution (approx. 22% of the previous 354M shares outstanding).
