![Nova Minerals Ltd: Highly Experienced Mining Executive Appointed as Director](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The appointment comes as Nova's Korbel Main prospect makes the transition from exploration to development. Korbel Main forms part of the Company's large-scale Estelle Gold Project in Alaska.
Mr Belshaw will provide valuable advice on development, mining operations and on the strategic extension of the gold resource within the Estelle gold district. His career spans four decades of base metals and gold mining across three continents.
NVA CEO, Mr. Christopher Gerteisen commented:
"We are delighted to have Colin join the board of Nova. Colin's international mining and project experience is considerable. Having operated in leading roles in large and small mines globally, he is ideally suited to assist our team in this transformation of Nova from explorer to developer, as we fast track the Korbel Main prospect to production. The size and scale of Estelle Gold is a key factor in enabling us to attract a director of Colin's calibre."
Colin Belshaw commented:
"I am privileged to have joined the Nova board at this stage of the company's development as I see remarkable potential in the Estelle Gold Project. My objective will be to assist in bringing the already considerable resource to production in the coming years. The exploration success thus far in a recognised, but under-explored, gold system in a world-class jurisdiction, is testament to the efforts of the current team and I look forward to working with them and my fellow directors as we progress towards unlocking Estelle's full potential."
