Novo Resources ( (TSE:NVO) ) has issued an update.

Novo Resources has sharply upgraded the exploration target for its Belltopper Gold Project in Victoria after an in‑depth review of local geology, historical data and previous drilling. The updated 2026 target for eight reefs now stands at 2.1–3.1 million tonnes grading 6.7–8.9 grams of gold per tonne, incorporating a new reef along the Western Domain Fault and extended strike and depth projections on four previously defined reefs.

The company reports tonnage growth of 40%–48% and a 1.5%–6% improvement in gold grade versus its 2024 estimates, driven by refined geological modelling and reassessment of historical metallurgical recoveries and low‑grade material. Novo has begun planning potential drilling in the second half of 2026 to firm up the conceptual target, signaling growing confidence in Belltopper’s scale and high‑grade potential within a competitive, infrastructure‑rich gold district.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:NVO) stock is a Hold with a C$0.15 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Novo Resources stock, see the TSE:NVO Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:NVO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:NVO is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, ongoing losses, and continued cash burn), partially offset by a low-leverage balance sheet. Technicals are mixed but slightly constructive on longer-term averages, while valuation support is limited due to negative earnings and no dividend data.
