NULLAGINE GOLD PROJECT UPDATE
VANCOUVER, BC - Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo” or the “Company”) (TSX: NVO , NVO.WT & NVO.WT.A)
(OTCQX: NSRPF) advises that as a result of operational issues with the SAG mill trunnion seal at the Nullagine
gold project’s Golden Eagle processing facility (the “ Golden Eagle Mill ”) the Company’s previously stated
production forecast 1 from the Company’s Beatons Creek gold project (the “Beatons Creek Project ”) for the
first half of 2022 has been revised to 25 – 27 koz Au.
Issues with a trunnion seal in the Golden Eagle Mill were encountered in mid -May 2022 which will require
additional time to maintain. Replacement parts are expected to be installed upon arri val in mid -June.
Intermittent downtime will be required during this period and in order to install the parts once they arrive.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The decision by the Company to produce at the Beatons Creek Project was not based on a feasibility study of
mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and, as a result, there is an increased
uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recover y, including
increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Production has not achieved
forecast to date. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is
no guarantee that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production
costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flow and future profitability.
The Company cautions that its declaration of commercial production effective October 1, 20212 only indicates
that the Beatons Creek Project was operating at anticipated and sustainable levels and it does not indicate
that economic results will be realized.
