Novo Signs Tenement-Wide Heritage Agreement with Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation
NOVO SIGNS TENEMENT-WIDE HERITAGE AGREEMENT WITH YINDJIBARNDI
ABORIGINAL CORPORATION
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 25, 2020 -- Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo” or the “ Company”) (TSX-V: NVO;
OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to advise that the Company has signed a heritage agreement (the “ Agreement ”) with the
Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (“YAC”) covering 28 wholly-owned exploration tenements across 1,492 square kilometres of
Yindjibarndi Country in Novo’s prospective Pilbara exploration region ( please refer to Figure 1 for a map of the relevant
area). The Agreement outlines processes by which Novo personnel and contractors, in consultation with the Yindjibarndi
Heritage Manager, can evaluate heritage status of the landholding ahead of granting permission for ground-disturbing
exploration activities to occur. The execution of the Agreement is expected to facilitate the process of granting further
exploration license applications without undue delay. In the absence of such agreements, applications can often take up to 12
months to be granted whilst heritage agreements are negotiated.
“We are delighted with the efficiency in which YAC have engaged with Novo to execute this Agreement, which we understand
is due in part to the trust earned through Novo’s reputation for responsible and respectful land care and community
engagement practices,” commented Rob Humphryson, Director and CEO of Novo. “This Agreement complements the
Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation heritage agreement executed in July 2018 ( please see the Company’s news release dated
July 10, 2018 - https://www.novoresources.com/news-media/news/display/index.php?content_id=310) and represents important
progress in continuing to build upon the Company’s positive relationships with Pilbara Aboriginal corporations and underpins
the Company’s ongoing exploration efforts across the West Pilbara. We look forward to a fruitful and mutually beneficial
partnership with the Yindjibarndi people as we continue to explore and develop our unique conglomerate gold mineralization
across the Pilbara”.
