EXPLANATORYNOTE

On January 13, 2025, Nova Minerals Limited (the “Company”) issued 35,007,644 ordinary shares of the Company to Nebari Gold Fund 1, LLP (“Nebari”) upon conversion of US$5,420,934 (A$8,751,911) in principal (including original issue discount and capitalized interest) under the Nebari convertible loan facility (based on a A$0.25 fixed conversion price), which represented full conversion of all amounts due to Nebari from the Company under such facility. The Company did not receive any proceeds upon the aforementioned conversion. The Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for the issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares upon conversion of the Nebari convertible loan facility.

This report on Form 6-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
