Anova Metals Limited received assay results for 2,761 soil samples from the Company's 2022 sampling program at the Golden Dome prospect, which is part of its 100%-owned Big Springs Gold Project (Big Springs) in Nevada, US. Golden Dome, located at the southern end of the Big Springs area, was the focus of the program. The 2022 program was an extension from the large soil sampling activities undertaken in 2021.

Golden Dome is one of the least explored areas within the Big Springs property, but also one of the most geological y intriguing, and is adjacent to the producing Jerrit Canyon Gold Mine. The 2022 soil samples were collected at a 50 m x 100 m spacing. Six specific gold-in-soil anomalies were identified from this stage, with a peak assayed gold content from this area of 138 ppb (Figure 2).

Combined with the soil sampling results from 2021, the anomalies identified are associated with the faults interpreted from the gravity survey completed in 2020, particularly at the fault intersections. The NW-SE faults with gold-in-soil anomalies extend well into the Jerrit Canyon tenure. At Jerrit Canyon, northwest oriented faults, particularly at the intersections with northeast oriented faults, are where economic gold mineralization occurs; this observation is consistent with the soil gold anomalies identified at Golden Dome.
