Nova Minerals Limited (ASX: NVA | OTC: NVAAF | FSE: QM3) has reported that Alaska’s State Governor, Mike Dunleavy, along with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Commissioner, Ryan Anderson visited the company’s Estelle Gold Project located in the West Susitna Mining District of Alaska, USA.
The Governor and Commissioner’s visit comprised part of an overview tour of the mining district and the proposed West Susitna Access Road (WSAR), for which some significant advancements have been announced recently, and will potentially provide direct all year and all-weather access to the Estelle project site.
“We were honored and appreciate Governor Dunleavy taking the time to visit the Estelle Gold Project site this week as we continue our exploration and development activities in pursuit of bringing Estelle into commercial production,” commented Nova CEO, Christopher Gerteisen.
“As a strong proponent of sustainable mining in Alaska we are also thankful for the policy under Governor Dunleavy’s administration of investing in critical infrastructure to stimulate growth in Alaska’s economy, including kicking off the all-weather, year-round West Susitna Access Road which will provide access to the area west of the Susitna River for recreation, jobs, and natural resource development to benefit all Alaskans.”
Governor Dunleavy’s visit to Estelle comprised part of an overview tour of the WSAR, a proposed approximately 100-mile-long road corridor which will connect Estelle with existing State infrastructure including, highways, rail, power, and Port Mackenzie, as well as a large and skilled workforce living in the nearby Anchorage, Palmer, and Wasilla communities.
In July, plans the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority announced that it will continue working on a separate and additional portion of the WSAR, extending beyond the proposed road improvements to establish an industrial access corridor to several exploration and development projects in the West Susitna Mining District, including the Estelle Gold Project.
