History
Nova Minerals, an Australian company, spent 2024 to 2026 clearing exchange listings, then in June 2026 became a Nevada-parented group listed primarily on NYSE American.
2024-2025: Listing clearances
The record for these years is thin. The disclosures show only two exchange certifications, on 14 June and 24 July 2024, each clearing Nova Minerals Corp's securities to begin trading. The beats do not say what the company was exploring, what it spent or how it funded itself. The share count rose from 271,936,881 at the end of 2024 to 401,501,417 at the end of 2025, but the beats do not explain the increase, so it is not interpreted here. The record for 2025 is otherwise quiet.
2026: Moving the home to the United States
The main event came in 2026. Under a Scheme Implementation Deed, amended and restated on 30 March 2026, Nova Minerals Limited, the Australian company, was restructured through a court-style Scheme of Arrangement. It was completed on 16 June 2026 and made the old company a wholly-owned subsidiary of a new Nevada parent, Nova Minerals Corp.
Shareholders were swapped into the new company. ASX holders received one CDI per share, each CDI being worth 1/12 of a new US share. OTC holders received one US share for every 12 old shares. Holders of Nasdaq ADSs received one US share per ADS, and warrant holders received three US warrants for each old one. The share count shown for the end of 2026, 38,194,368, is far below the 2025 figure, but the beats do not explain the gap, so it is not interpreted here.
The same day, the exchange certified the securities for listing, Nova Minerals Corp deregistered its securities with the SEC, ending its duty to file reports there, and a filing was made to remove one class of securities from listing. The old Nasdaq ADSs and warrants stopped trading. The primary listing moved from the ASX to NYSE American, with shares and warrants expected to trade from 17 June 2026 as NVA and NVAWS.
As of 16 June 2026, Christopher Gerteisen was CEO and president, Richard Beazley was chairman, and Ashlie Thorburn had become CFO. The filings give no details of assets, joint ventures or debt.
