NOVO ANNOUNCES FIRST GOLD RESULTS FROM ITS 2017 EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT
BEATONS CREEK
VANCOUVER, BC, June 14, 2017 – Novo Resources Corp. (TSX-V: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF) (“Novo”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce first Au results from its 2017 exploration program at its
Beatons Creek gold project, Western Australia. Bulk samples, weighing approximately 50 kg each, were
collected from 276 trenches (“cost eans”) excavated on oxidized gold-bearing conglomerate horizons
(“reefs”) and analyzed using LeachWell technique , an accelerated cyanide leach assay method ( please
refer to the nearby table of resu lts and location map in Figure 1 ). This round of sampling has expanded
the footprint of oxide mineralization, especially in th e eastern part of the target area where a lower, well-
mineralized reef, was targeted. Additional samples provide information within the known oxide target.
Notable high-grade results include 10.29 gpt Au over 0.8 m from costean BCC17-011, 19.40 gpt Au over
0.5 m from costean BCC17-094, 17.66 gpt Au over 1.0 m Au from costean BCC17-177, and 23.62 gpt
Au over 0.6 m from costean BCC17-184 from costean BCC17-184.
In a few locations, Novo dug long trenches to enab le sampling of subordinate conglomerate horizons
above and below targeted units. Some of these trenches returned significantly thicker mineralized
intervals than have typically been generated in cluding 1.41 gpt Au over 5.0 m from costean BCC17-255,
1.60 gpt Au over 5.0 m from costean BCC17-258, 3. 52 gpt Au over 3.7 m from costean BCC17-275 and
2.07 gpt Au over 6.0 m from costean BCC17-276. These results indicate potential for bulk mineralization
in places at Beatons Creek.
“We are pleased with recent costean results fro m Beatons Creek,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh,
Chairman and President of Novo Resources Corp. “Recent trenching has expanded the mineralized oxide
footprint eastward by taking in a newly recognized lowe r reef in that area. We are also seeing significant
mineralized thicknesses from some long trenches, a possible indication we have potential for bulk
mineralization at Beatons Creek.”
Costean samples were taken using pneumatic ha mmers from thoroughly oxidized gold-bearing reef
material exposed in shallow, tren ches dug using an excavator, bulldozer or by hand. Given their large
size, approximately 50 kg, these samples are consid ered bulk samples. Because costean samples are
collected from the top to bottom of gold-bearing conglomerate horizons, and over widths of around one
half to one meter, they can be considered representati ve of what is exposed in the trench. The importance
of taking such samples is discussed in a news release dated April 21, 2015.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Novo staff, under the supervision of Dr. Quinton He nnigh, Novo’s President and Chairman, collected the
costean samples discussed in this news release. Samples were submitted to Genalysis Laboratories, Perth,
WA for analysis. Preparation entails crushing the entire sample to -2 mm, pulverizing a subsample split
and subjecting three 1-kg charges to the LeachWell technique, an accelerated CN leach (6 hour leach
time). Au analysis of the resulting solution is don e by mass spectrometry. A final weighted average
result is generated from the three, 1-kg LeachWell assays.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, the Company’s, President a nd Chairman and a Qualified Person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, has approved the technical contents of this news release.
