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."

"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."
