LAST CLOSE… Gold and Silver Ores

ELEVATED
RISK INDEX
RED FLAGS 50 YEARS-LONG PATTERN 2 = 52/100. WHY THIS NUMBER, PIECE BY PIECE.

THE READ 12 red-flag mentions across this year's filings, led by dilution and going concern doubt, and 62 since 2001, so this is a long-running pattern.

THE FILINGS WENT QUIET LAST PERIODIC REPORT 342 DAYS AGO

20-F filed 2025-09-19 is the most recent annual or quarterly report on record. Public companies must file at least every few months, so past ~150 days of silence usually means late filings, a trading suspension, or a company quietly deregistering. Everything else on this page still cites its filing; just know the record itself has gone stale.

Red Flags

2025-08-27 → 2026-08-27

We read every document this company filed with the SEC this year and counted the classic danger phrases. Where wording can be misleading, we open the actual documents and separate real warnings from accounting boilerplate. Each hit links to the exact document.

Dilution (at the market offering) AT LEAST 6 REAL WARNINGS · 6 matching docS this year · 11 ALL TIME

An ATM lets the company print and sell new shares into the market any day it wants. Every print dilutes your slice.

EVIDENCE: [1] 6-K FILED 2025-12-22 · [2] 424B5 FILED 2025-12-17 · [3] 424B5 FILED 2025-12-19 · [4] 6-K FILED 2025-12-22 · [5] F-3 FILED 2025-12-11

Reverse stock split 0 REAL WARNINGS · 1 matching doc this year · 5 ALL TIME

A reverse split shrinks the share count to lift the price above $1. Repeat reverse splits are the classic death-spiral signature.

EVIDENCE: [1] 6-K FILED 2026-04-24

Going concern doubt 6 REAL WARNINGS · 3 matching docS this year · 21 ALL TIME

Auditors flagged substantial doubt the company survives the next 12 months without new money.

EVIDENCE: [1] 6-K FILED 2025-09-18 · [2] 6-K FILED 2026-04-29 · [3] 20-F FILED 2025-09-19

Delisting / exchange risk AT LEAST 0 REAL WARNINGS · 8 matching docS this year · 25 ALL TIME

The exchange has threatened to kick the stock off. Delisting pressure usually ends in a reverse split or a fire-sale raise.

EVIDENCE: [1] 6-K FILED 2026-06-02 · [2] 6-K FILED 2026-06-01 · [3] 6-K FILED 2026-04-28 · [4] 6-K FILED 2026-04-21 · [5] 6-K FILED 2025-12-22

The Printing Press

How many shares exist, over time, exactly as the company reported in its own filings. In microcaps, a rising share count is how holders pay for everything: salaries, debts, and bad deals. Sudden collapses in the line are reverse splits, marked below.

271,936,881 shares · 2024-10-29 401,501,417 shares · 2025-09-19 AVG/YEAR SINCE 2024: +54.9%

What this means for YOUR shares

Type how many shares you hold. The math is plain division on the company's own reported counts.

03

Cash Countdown

Cash in the bank against how fast the company burns it. When this hits zero, the next stop is usually a desperate raise at bad terms, and existing holders pay through dilution.

This company's filings do not report usable cash or burn figures. That is rare, and rarely good.

RUNWAY = CASH ON HAND ÷ MONTHLY CASH BURN. SIMPLE ARITHMETIC ON THE COMPANY'S OWN REPORTED NUMBERS, NOT A PROJECTION.

04

What the Newest Filing Changed

The latest filings, translated into holder impact. Every number cites its form, date and SEC link.

Shares outstanding rose 271.94M to 401.50M (+47.6%) between 20-F 2024-10-29 and 20-F 2025-09-19 (dilution).

Critical 8-K Ledger

OFFICIAL NOTICES · 24 MO

When something material happens, the company itself must announce it in an 8-K under the SEC's numbered item system. These are those announcements, newest first: bankruptcy papers, exchange delisting warnings, auditor changes, financials pulled back. Read straight from the SEC filing index, no interpretation layer.

Breaking Filing

8-K · 2026-08-27

An 8-K is the "something happened right now" filing. Here is what this one says, in the company's own words.

Item 7.01

On August 27, 2026, Nova Minerals Corp issued a press release titled “Nova Minerals Achieves Key Milestone on Path to Antimony Production”, which is attached as

The Verdict

AVOID · MED CONFIDENCE

A rules-based reading of the cited filing facts: a range with reasons, never a prediction.

AVOID
SCREENING VERDICT
MED confidence

BASIS FOR

+1

Shares outstanding grew 47.6% between the last two reported quarters, a heavy dilution event.

AGAINST

−1

The filings do not report usable cash and operating-burn figures, so runway could not be computed for this verdict.

−2

The filings do not publish comparable revenue figures for two consecutive periods, so the revenue trend could not be measured.

−3

No fair-value bracket: the filings (or the optional price feed) do not provide enough cited numbers to compute one honestly.

METHOD: DETERMINISTIC RULES OVER CITED SEC FILING FACTS: SHARE-COUNT CHANGE BETWEEN THE LAST TWO REPORTED QUARTERS (DILUTION), CASH-TO-BURN RUNWAY FROM THE MOST RECENT OPERATING CASH FLOW, PERIOD-OVER-PERIOD REVENUE GROWTH, AND A FAIR-VALUE RANGE ANCHORED TO CASH PER SHARE VS PRICE. THRESHOLDS ARE TUNABLE IN APP/VERDICT_ENGINE.PY. NOT A PREDICTION.
