Nova Exploration was founded on January 1, 2022 and generated its projects based on the 1987 and 1991 province wide GSC biogeochemical surveys. Several of the highest gold results came from the GSC southwestern survey, where Nova Exploration established its Quinan Lake Gold Project. Nova Exploration was partially financed by the Nova Scotia exploration Mineral Resources Development Fund, these funds were used to execute biogeochemical and soil sampling surveys with the objective of confirming the GSC gold anomalies. Nova Exploration results have succeeded in supporting the GSC's high gold values. Furthermore, the multi-element geochemical results have revealed the presence of gold pathfinder elements and significant rare earth and lithium anomalies. Nova Exploration is interested in possible partnerships.
