Specific gravity measurements and metallurgical test work will be undertaken
on rock core from the Company’s current 8-hole diamond drill program.
Completion of specific gravity measurements is expected around the end of March,
and metallurgical tests by quarter three of calendar 2013. Upon receipt of
specific gravity measurements, a resource estimate will be finalized by Tetra
Tech WEI Inc, Perth, Australia with an anticipated completion date in April,
2013.  Work on a preliminary economic
assessment will be evaluated at that time.

are very pleased with the progress of our program at Beatons Creek,” commented
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, President and CEO of Novo Resources. “Our current diamond
core drill program will provide the final data needed to undertake an initial
NI 43-101 resource estimation at Beatons Creek. Looking forward, work on metallurgy

About
Beatons Creek

The Beatons
Creek Tenements cover extensive exposures of the Beatons Creek conglomerates, a
series of Archaean age pyritic conglomerates hosting gold mineralization
similar to that of the Witwatersrand Basin in the Republic of South
Africa.  Shallow gold reefs were first
identified and mined in this area beginning in the late 1800’s.  Novo Resources current drill program is the
first modern, systematic exploration on the property.
