Novo Reaches First Completion Milestone With Creasy Group, Expands Operations Team, and Presents at 2020 Precious Metals Summit - Beaver Creek

Novo Resources Corp. ("Novo" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to announce that it has reached first completion with respect to its previously announced binding terms sheet (the "Terms Sheet") with Mark Creasy and entities controlled by him (collectively, the "Creasy Group") and issued 2,582,269 common shares (the "First Completion Shares") of the Company to the Creasy Group (for further details, please see the Company's news release dated June 15, 2020). The First Completion Shares are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on January 15, 2021.

 

Immediately subsequent to the issuance of the First Completion Shares, the Creasy Group held 6.46% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

 

The Company will issue an additional 8,431 common shares (the "Second Completion Shares") to the Creasy Group upon receipt of Australian Foreign Investment Review Board approval of certain aspects of the Terms Sheet. The Second Completion Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months from the date of issuance.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has made two significant operational management appointments as it transitions towards production at its Beatons Creek conglomerate gold project in the Nullagine region of Western Australia (the "Nullagine Gold Project").

 

Novo is pleased to welcome Mr. Chris Mardon as its Senior Manager, Operations for Novo's Nullagine Gold Project. Mr. Mardon is a mining engineering graduate of the Western Australian School of Mines who brings a wealth of mine operational experience to Novo, with a 30-year mining career spanning both local and international operations. Mr. Mardon has extensive experience in similar roles, overseeing successful gold operations throughout Western Australia, in addition to direct operational experience with mechanical sorting technology.

 

Novo is also pleased to welcome Mr. Brad Woodland as its Mining Manager for Novo's Nullagine Gold Project. Mr. Woodland has over 30 years of mining industry experience with the majority directly involved in the gold mining industry. Mr. Woodland's exposure to paleo-channel mining in the West Australian Goldfields and alluvial gold mining in Laos represents a significant advantage in fully exploiting the conglomerate material in the Nullagine region.

 

Both Mr. Mardon and Mr. Woodland joined Novo in consulting roles over the last few months to assist with detailed planning ahead of the acquisition of Millennium Minerals Limited (see the Company's news releases dated August 4, 2020, September 8, 2020, and September 14, 2020).

 

Rob Humphryson, Novo's CEO and a director, commented, "I have known Mr. Mardon for over 30 years and have followed his successes with interest. We look forward to benefitting from his operational experience in the gold industry, with the added advantage of having hands-on operational experience with mechanical sorting technology. Mr. Woodland has extensive mining experience and his exposure to mining paleo-channels and alluvials in the past will stand us in good stead as we develop the flat lying conglomerates at Beatons Creek. Importantly, both Chris and Brad fit the Novo culture – they are the right personality type and are proving themselves to be knowledgeable, hard-working, and innovative people who are well suited to the unique challenges that will inevitably arise as we progress this unique style of deposit towards production."

 

Mr. Mardon commented, "It is rare to get the opportunity to work for a truly innovative company that has such an extensive portfolio of projects ripe for development.  It is going to be an exciting year as we work towards transitioning from explorer to operator."

 

Mr. Woodland commented, "We have a team of quality personnel at Novo who are very aligned to the Company's culture, providing a strong foundation to establish a safe, efficient and successful operation for our stakeholders."

 

Novo will provide regular updates with respect to ongoing operational updates and other significant personnel appointments as the Company transitions to becoming a gold producer.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce that it will be participating in the virtual 2020 Precious Metals Summit – Beaver Creek. Dr. Quinton Hennigh will be presenting on Thursday, September 17 at 9:00 – 9:15am EDT in virtual room 1.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
