Exhibit

99.1

Nova

Minerals Secures Final Permits for Alaska Antimony Project, Clearing Path to 2027 Production

Anchorage,

Alaska, October 27, 2026 – Nova Minerals Corp (“Nova Minerals” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: NVA

| ASX: NVA) today announced it has received final approvals from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources for the Plan of Operations

and Reclamation Plan for its Department of War funded Alaska antimony project, completing the Project’s permitting process and

clearing the way for construction and development activities targeting production in 2027.

Highlights

● Final

permits secured: Nova has secured all required permits within approximately three months

of submission clearing the way for Phase 1 of its Alaska antimony development and advancing

the establishment of the first modern, fully integrated U.S. domestic antimony supply chain

in decades.

● Three-stage

project approval from mining to refining: Permits cover stibnite mining at the Styx and

Stibium prospects, ore sorting and processing at the Whiskey Bravo concentration site within

the Estelle Project, and downstream processing and refining at Port Mackenzie.

● $43.4

million in Department of War funding: Phase 1 is fully funded through the Company’s

existing award to support development of domestic production capacity for military-grade

antimony trisulfide.

● Critical

equipment delivered: All major long-lead and critical mining and processing equipment

has been procured and delivered to project locations.

● Engineering

and metallurgy completed: Process plant engineering and metallurgical test work have

established a flowsheet designed to produce military-grade antimony trisulfide and standard

grade II antimony metal (>99.65% Sb).

● Targeting

2027 production: With permitting complete, funding secured, engineering completed and

equipment delivered, Nova is focused on advancing construction and executing its development

schedule.

Nova

Minerals CEO, Mr. Christopher Gerteisen, commented:

“Securing

our final permits is a major milestone for Nova, moving our Alaska antimony project from development planning toward construction and

targeted production in 2027.

“In

a relatively short period, we have secured $43.4 million in Department of War funding, completed the permitting process, advanced engineering

and metallurgical test work, and delivered critical equipment to our project locations.

“With

these key milestones achieved, our focus is now on execution. We believe the Project has the potential to contribute to a more secure

U.S. domestic antimony supply chain, while creating a meaningful new growth opportunity for Nova and our shareholders.”

From

Permitting to Project Execution

The

final approvals authorize construction and operating activities over an initial three-year term across the Project’s integrated

development pathway. This includes stibnite mining at the Styx and Stibium prospects, intermediate-stage ore sorting and processing at

the Whiskey Bravo concentration site within the Estelle Project, and downstream processing and refining at Port Mackenzie, Alaska.

The

Company’s Phase 1 development program is supported by a $43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War to advance domestic

antimony production capacity. Metallurgical test work and process plant engineering have been completed, with the process flowsheet designed

to support production of military-grade antimony trisulfide and standard grade II antimony metal (>99.65% Sb).

All

major long-lead and critical mining and processing equipment has been procured and delivered to project sites, enabling Nova to accelerate

construction and advance project development.

With

final regulatory approvals secured and major development milestones already achieved, Nova is transitioning to the next phase of execution

as it advances toward targeted antimony production in 2027.
