Novo Resources to commence 2,700‑metre drilling at Tibooburra Gold Project in NSW

Novo Resources Corp has moved to the second stage of exploration at its Tibooburra Gold Project in New South Wales, Australia, through a farm‑in joint venture with Manhattan Gold Corporation Limited. The company will begin a roughly 2,700‑metre reverse‑circulation drilling program in late Q3 2026, contingent on regulatory and land‑holder approvals. Drilling will target the Clone prospect (about 1,700 m) and the Pioneer South prospect (about 1,000 m), following high‑grade results reported in 2025 such as 12 m at 5.90 g/t Au and 5 m at 13.74 g/t Au. Novo, Manhattan Gold and its subsidiary Awati Resources have signed the formal Joint Venture and Option Agreement and will continue regional stream sampling, soil mapping and rock‑chip sampling through the second half of 2026.
