Significant drill intercept highlights include (see Table 1):
o KBDH-003
241.28m @ 0.39 g/t gold from 4.69 metres
118.87m @ 0.42 g/t gold from 17.68 metres
6.10m @ 1.27 g/t gold from 130.45 metres
21.34m @ 0.91 g/t gold from 224.94 metres
6.10m @ 1.70 g/t gold from 224.94 metres

Current drilling focused on Block B (Starter Pit) in Figure 1* with the goal of expanding and upgrading the Resource to expedite project feasibility studies The drilling is part of a 20,000-metre diamond core drilling exploration program to test the depth and strike extensions of the Established 2.5Moz inferred gold resource at Korbel Blocks A and B (one of fifteen known occurrences) (ASX 11 September 2019) A further 14 holes now nearing completion, on-route to lab and awaiting assay
NVA CEO, Mr. Christopher Gerteisen said: "We are pleased to report more thick drill intercepts which are an exciting and significant development in our phase 1 resource upgrade with all holes hitting extensive mineralisation. The broad mineralisation announced today is particularly encouraging, demonstrating the potential to rapidly add significant rock volume to the Korbel gold endowment. Similar potential remains at block A which the rigs will be moving over to for testing in the coming weeks.
