Here is a nice update from Novo Resources on the drilling at Blue Spec and the bulk sample processing at Beatons Creek. I am anxiously awaiting the drill results at Blue Spec which I expect to further produce some good intercepts. With three different types of drills on the property the Company is testing a range of targets. Also do not forget about the processing of the Beatons Creek material. this news is expected in a couple weeks.

We will be having Quinton on the show to follow up on what they find but in the meantime if anyone has any questions about Novo please email me at anytime – Fleck[at]kereport.com.

VANCOUVER, BC, November 17, 2016 – Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to provide an update on the progress of drilling at its 100% controlled high-grade Blue Spec gold-antimony project and processing of bulk sample material from Beatons Creek.

Blue Spec

Novo currently has three drill rigs operating at Blue Spec, a truck mounted reverse circulation (“RC”) drill and a diamond core drill that are focusing on targets in the immediate vicinity of the historic Blue Spec and Gold Spec mines, and a track mounted RC drill testing distal targets along the Blue Spec shear zone.

Several RC holes testing extensions of the Gold Spec deposit have encountered notable mineralization including quartz-pyrite veins, some with appreciable stibnite, an antimony sulfide.  One hole in particular, 16BSDH034, drilled about 80m down plunge on the Gold Spec shoot, encountered several meters displaying significant stibnite.  Due to a backlog of assays at the laboratory, Novo has recently prioritized assays from select intervals and expects results for several important holes within a week.

Three additional holes have recently been completed immediately east of the Blue Spec high grade zone where hole 16BSDH004 encountered 59.1 grams per tonne gold over 2.55 meters (refer to the Company’s news release dated November 1, 2016 for further details).  A fourth hole is currently being drilled in this area.  Additionally, five holes have been completed between the Blue Spec and Gold Spec deposits and several holes have been completed in areas where historic drilling suggests additional gold zones may be present along the Blue Spec shear zone.

At present, the track mounted RC rig has drilled six new targets along the greater Blue Spec shear zone including Magic Mountain and Mt. Hays.  Two more targets remain to be drilled.  Novo plans to cease all drilling activities at Blue Spec over the next couple weeks due to increasing summer temperatures.  Further drilling will be undertaken once assays have returned and data can be assessed.

Beatons Creek

Gravity processing activities have recently been completed at Beatons Creek.  The goal of this exercise is to better define the grade of recently mined bulk sample material (refer to the Company’s news release dated September 6, 2016 for further details).  Novo implemented a rigorous system of collecting feed and tailings samples for assay in order to accurately determine grade.  Samples have been sent to Genalysis Laboratory, Perth, for analysis.  Gold concentrates are being shipped to a refiner in Kalgoorlie, WA, where they will be processed and smelted into a dore bar.  Results are expected to return within a few weeks at which time Novo will discuss results.
