Anchorage Alaska, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nova Minerals Limited (“Nova” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NVA) (ASX: NVA) (FRA: QM3) ) is pleased to announce that it has been approached by His Excellency The Hon Dr Kevin Rudd AC, Australian Ambassador to the United States, to provide a comprehensive update on its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in Alaska. This briefing is in preparation for the upcoming meeting between Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and U.S. President Donald Trump, scheduled for Thursday, October 20, 2025, in Washington DC, where critical minerals and strategic resource cooperation will be key discussion points.

Highlights

  • Nova has been requested by His Excellency The Hon Dr Kevin Rudd AC, Australian Ambassador to the United States, to provide a briefing on its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project ahead of the meeting between Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and U.S. President Donald Trump on October 20, 2025 in Washington DC.
  • The briefing follows a site visit by the Australian Consular-General, Tanya Bennett in August this year which recognized the Estelle Project as a leading example of the deepening Australia–United States collaboration in critical minerals and strategic resource development.
  • Recent US$43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War (DoW) and robust government backing at federal, state and local levels, highlights the strategic importance of Nova’s antimony production plans, targeting military-spec antimony by 2026/27.
  • Nova’s planned antimony refinery at Port MacKenzie, with secured land use permits, further strengthens its position as the leading emerging fully integrated antimony producer in the U.S.
  • The inclusion of antimony on the U.S. Critical Minerals List, coupled with growing global demand, underscores the Estelle Project’s strategic importance in supporting U.S. defense and industrial supply chains.

Nova CEO, Mr Christopher Gerteisen, commented: “Being invited to brief the Australian Government for this high-level meeting between Prime Minister Albanese and President Trump is a testament to the strategic importance of the Estelle Project. With antimony recognized as a critical mineral and our gold resources adding significant value, Nova is well-positioned to contribute to both U.S. and Australian critical minerals strategies. The US$43.4 million DoW award and our secured land at Port MacKenzie underscore our commitment to building a secure, domestic supply chain for antimony and supporting U.S. defense and industrial needs. We look forward to continued collaboration with both governments as we advance the Estelle Project toward production.”

Strategic Engagement with Australian and U.S. Governments

As part of the briefing, Nova has been requested to provide details on its U.S. investments, including an overview of the Estelle Project, the key minerals identified, planned expansion activities, and the Company’s engagement with U.S. government agencies. This request highlights the growing strategic importance of the Estelle Project, located in Alaska’s prolific Tintina Gold Belt, which hosts significant gold and antimony assets. The Project’s antimony prospects are of particular significance given antimony’s recent inclusion on the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Draft 2025 Critical Minerals List and its vital role in the defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Nova’s recent US$43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War (DoW) to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alaska Range Resources LLC, further validates the project’s importance. The funding supports the accelerated development of a fully integrated U.S. antimony supply chain, targeting production of military-spec antimony by 2026/27. Additionally, Nova’s secured land use permit for a proposed antimony refinery at Port MacKenzie positions the Company as a first-mover in establishing a domestic antimony production hub.

Estelle Project Overview

The Estelle Project, spans 514 km² of State of Alaska mining claims, located 150 km northwest of Anchorage in the Tintina Gold Belt. The project contains one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold deposits with over 20 advanced gold and antimony prospects across a 35 km long mineralized corridor, including two defined multi-million ounce gold resources and several drill-ready antimony prospects with significant outcropping stibnite vein systems.

The project’s potential is further enhanced by its proximity to world-class infrastructure and its alignment with regional development initiatives, such as the West Susitna Access Road. Nova’s proposed antimony refinery at Port MacKenzie, supported by a 42.81-acre land use permit, will produce a range of antimony products, including antimony trisulfide (Sb₂S₃), antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃), and antimony metal, for both military and industrial applications.

Antimony and Gold Market Context

Antimony, a critical mineral for defense and high-tech applications, has seen growing demand due to its use in munitions, semiconductors, and energy systems. The U.S. Government’s support for domestic critical minerals projects, including advanced permitting and funding, highlights the strategic importance of Nova’s antimony production plans. Gold, a key component of the Estelle Project, continues to benefit from strong market prices, further enhancing the project’s economic value.

Source: Media Outreach

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 October 2025 – SIBUR, Russia’s largest producer of polymers and rubbers, announces that construction of its flagship investment project – the Amur Gas Chemical Complex (AGCC) in the country’s Far East – is 87.9% complete as of the end of September. A total of 31,700 people have been involved in the work on the site.

In August, delivery of oversized and heavy equipment for the new facility was completed. The transportation was carried out during the summer navigation season along the Zeya River in the Amur Region. Over the course of several years, more than 450 units of equipment, with a total weight exceeding 40,000 tons, have been delivered to the construction site.

The Amur Gas Chemical Complex is set to become one of the world’s largest polymer production plants. Its production capacity will be 2.3 million tons of polyethylene and 0.4 million tons of polypropylene per year. Polyethylene production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026, while polypropylene production is expected to start in early 2027.

Thanks to its scale, use of modern technological equipment, and access to hydrocarbon feedstock from Eastern Siberia, the Amur GCC will have one of the lowest production costs in the world.

The new SIBUR facility is located near the Chinese border and close to Russia’s Pacific ports. This favorable geographic position enables SIBUR to export Amur GCC products to Southeast and South Asian countries.

The Amur GCC will produce polyethylene grades that SIBUR has not manufactured before –such as mHDPE, which improves the stretchability of multilayer films without affecting their transparency, and PERT polyethylene for hot water pipes with enhanced strength requirements.

A new polypropylene production technology will significantly expand SIBUR’s current product range, adding specialized polypropylene grades for injection molding and BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) films.

Health is a Political Choice: Global Leaders Call for Shared Responsibility at the World Health Summit, Gallup and GPMB Release Landmark Reports on Emotional Wellbeing and Pandemic Preparedness

0

Source: Media Outreach

BERLIN, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 14 October 2025 – Global leaders reaffirmed their commitment to health as a political priority and a cornerstone of peace and resilience on day 2 of the World Health Summit, the leading platform for global health. Against the backdrop of geopolitical crises, global leaders called for shared responsibility in shaping a healthier, more resilient world on the World Health Summit stage.

World Health Summit 2025

Nina Warken, German Federal Health Minister, emphasized: “Germany is and remains a reliable and committed partner of the World Health Summit and also of WHO. In view of the current challenges, it is more important than ever to engage in constructive dialogue and work together to strengthen global health. The World Health Summit offers a good opportunity to deepen cooperation with international partners. Beyond that, we are also committed to consolidating international cooperation and strengthening institutions such as WHO. Germany will live up to its leadership in global health and international cooperation. Only in this way can we overcome global health challenges.”

“Taking political responsibility for health means choosing to cooperate, to invest, and to act before the next crisis,” stressed Hadja Lahbib, Commissioner for Preparedness and Crisis Management and Commissioner for Equality. “The European Union has made that choice – by strengthening its preparedness and response capacities, and by driving global solidarity through the new Global Health Resilience Initiative. In a world of fragmentation, the EU stands for cooperation, trust in science, and shared responsibility – because our health, our security, and our future depend on it.”

Leaders also underscored that health security, sustainable financing, and global solidarity must remain central to building a stable and equitable future.

“In our divided and turbulent world, investing in public health has never been more essential, both as the foundation of stable and secure societies, and as a bridge to peace between communities and nations,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “We call on all countries and partners to focus on what matters most: the people we serve, and to harness the power of science, partnership and innovation to build a healthier, safer and fairer future.”

New Gallup Report Revealed at World Health Summit: Peace, Health and Emotional Wellbeing Rise and Fall Together

Peace, health and emotional wellbeing rise and fall together, according to Gallup’s inaugural State of the World’s Emotional Health report, launched in partnership with the World Health Summit. Drawing on 145,000 interviews across 144 countries and areas in 2024, Gallup finds nearly four in ten adults worldwide reported experiencing a lot of worry or stress the previous day – hundreds of millions more than a decade ago. In 2024, 39% of adults worldwide reported feeling worried the previous day, and 37% said they felt stressed. Reports of sadness (26%), anger (22%) and physical pain (32%) remain widespread. All are higher than they were a decade ago. The report pairs Gallup’s World Poll data with the Institute for Economics & Peace’s Global Peace Index and Positive Peace Index to show how people’s emotional lives intertwine with stability and health.

“Our work with the World Health Summit brings clarity to a simple truth: emotional wellbeing and peace are not separate pursuits. When one fails, the other follows. In less peaceful countries, people are far more likely to report sadness and anger, even after accounting for income differences,” states Gallup CEO, Jon Clifton. Positive emotions such as laughter, enjoyment, and respect are less common in less peaceful societies and depend more on GDP. This is not the case for negative emotions, which remain strongly tied to fragile peace — suggesting that while peace reduces distress, it does not deliver a positive emotional dividend above and beyond GDP per capita.

Reflecting on the findings, WHS CEO Carsten Schicker underscored the importance of this partnership: “Gallup’s new data confirm what we at the World Health Summit see every day: Peace, health and emotional wellbeing are inseparable. Emotional distress at a societal level is not just an individual burden; it is a warning sign for societal fragility, and a call to collective action. By working together across sectors, we can turn evidence into solutions that strengthen resilience and stability worldwide. That is why the World Health Summit is proud to partner with Gallup: Together, we bring health to the center of the global agenda.”

New Global Report Shows: Global Health Security Hangs in the Balance in a Volatile and Uncertain World

A new global report launched today at WHS 2025 outlines preparedness priorities to protect people worldwide from future pandemics and other health crises. The new Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) 2025 report calls for scaled up investment in

primary health care, real-time risk assessment, and international cooperation to ensure local and global communities are ready to prevent and respond to the next pandemic.

“In our increasingly volatile and uncertain world, real preparedness for pandemics and other health emergencies must be anchored in well-functioning and well financed primary health care systems,” said Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, GPMB Co-Chair and former President of Croatia. “Robust primary health systems reach deep into communities, providing essential health services in peacetime and building the deep trust that is fundamental to an effective health response when crises strike.”

The GPMB, established in 2018 following the West Africa Ebola epidemic, monitors the state of the world’s preparedness for pandemics and other health crises. It is an initiative supported by the World Health Organization and the World Bank.

Reflecting on the findings of the GPMB report, World Health Summit President Axel R. Pries emphasizes: “To tackle emerging threats like pandemics and the climate crisis, we need resilient, inclusive systems, innovative financing, and genuine partnerships that empower local leadership. This requires a new approach to care – strengthening primary health care, engaging communities more closely, and ensuring a protected health workforce; and stronger cooperation – built on solidarity, equity, and the fair sharing of data, samples, and benefits. The World Health Summit helps drive this change by fostering collaboration and keeping health high on the international agenda.”

Highlights include the original guillotine prop from Justice Bao(包青天), a recreated set from Nights of the Rose(玫瑰之夜), mascot dolls from Fruity Ice Cream(水果冰淇淋), and memorable clips from Taiwan Tornado(台灣龍捲風). Through these artifacts and reconstructions, the section celebrates how media has long served as both entertainment and a cross-generational bond.

The third section, “THE GLORY – Stories of Triumph: The Stage of Applause and Tears,” invites visitors to relive the emotional thrill of winning moments—complete with a replica Golden Bell trophy for photo opportunities. Exhibits include the physical mask from Copycat Killer(模倣犯) and a series of cross-generational interview videos that spotlight creativity, resilience, and artistic excellence across eras.

Finally, “THE UNSEEN – Stories Behind the Screen: The Unsung Heroes of Production” pays tribute to the behind-the-scenes professionals who bring every program to life. From recreated sets of classic variety shows to the shipbuilding scene from Lord Jiaqing and The Journey to Taiwan(嘉慶君遊台灣), this section highlights the craftsmanship and dedication that power the nation’s broadcasting legacy.

Through its four immersive chapters, the “Golden Bell 60/60 Exhibition” offers more than a retrospective—it stands as a celebration of the visionaries, creators, and audiences who have together shaped Taiwan’s vibrant media culture. The 60th Golden Bell Awards presentations will take place on Oct. 11, 17 and 18. For more information, visit the 60th Golden Bell Awards official website and Facebook page.
