Some statements in this presentation contain forward-looking information (within the meaning of Canadian securities
legislation), including without limitation statements as to the potential, through further drilling, to expand and upgrade to the
indicated category the inferred resources described in this presentation, and that a preliminary economic assessment will be
undertaken later this year. These statements address future events and conditions and, as such, involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the statements. Such factors include,
without limitation, the ability to complete the drilling programs and other exploration activities as currently contemplated, the
receipt of successful results as drilling proceeds, customary risks of the mineral resources exploration industry as well as Novo
Resources Corp. (“Novo” or the “Company”) having sufficient cash to fund the planned drilling and other activities, as well as
other risks and factors mentioned in the continuous disclosure filings of Novo which can be found under its profile on the
SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).
Shareholders and prospective investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
Novo undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of
new information, future events or other such factors which affect this information, except as required by law.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Director and a Qualified Person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, has approved the technical contents of this presentation.
This presentation uses the term "inferred resources." We advise U.S. investors that while this term is recognized and required
by Canadian regulations, it is not recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "Inferred resources" have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be
assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian
rules, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of a feasibility study or prefeasibility studies. U.S.
investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred resource exists or is economically or legally
mineable.

Pilbara Gold Project
Gold in the Pilbara: Novo Resources has assembled a formidable land position in the Nullagine gold camp covering
two robust gold systems: conglomerate hosted-Au at Beatons Creek and bonanza grade orogenic
Au along the Blue Spec shear zone.

Beatons Creek
An unusual style of deposit: Gold-bearing conglomerate horizons occur within 20 meters of surface, are thoroughly oxidized
and amenable to gravity recovery.

Gravity Recoverable Gold:
Extensive test work conducted on Beatons Creek

be achieved through simple gravity-only processing.

2014-15 Shallow RC Drilling and Trenching Program:
Novo targeted shallow,
oxidized gold-bearing
conglomerate horizons
in an area covering
about 4 sq km.
Drilling and trenching
carried out in late 2014
through mid 2015 was
designed to gather
sufficient data to define
a sizeable resource
(target 3-4 Mt) that could
be developed into a
~1,500 tpd, low-cost
mining operation.

Beatons Creek
Selective Mining Concept:
Oxidized material is soft
and should not require
drilling and blasting.
Using precise surveying
and visual control, it
should be possible to strip
overburden off the top of
the reef to within 10-20 cm
of its top.
The reef itself can be
selectively mined.

30,000 tonne Bulk Sample:
Upper and lower contacts of gold-bearing reefs can be readily be identified while mining
resulting in minimal dilution.

Beatons Creek
30,000 tonne Bulk Sample: Bench sample grades range from 0.62 to 11.54 gpt Au and average 2.78 gpt Au. The resource
block model of this area estimated grades ranging from about 0.5 to just under 5.0 gpt Au and
averaging 1.65 gpt Au.
Of 33 bench samples, four report grades lower than nearby resource blocks whereas 29 report
grades similar or better than nearby resource blocks.

Potential of Beatons Creek:
Novo views developing
shallow oxide gold
mineralization as key to
unlocking the potential
of this gold district in a
staged approach
Should positive cash
flow be achieved, further
exploration will target
additional shallow oxide,
shallow sulphide and
deep sulphide potential.
Additional conglomerate
Au targets across the
Nullagine and Marble
Bar sub-basins could
also be explored.

Blue Spec Shear Zone:- 65 km long shear zone crossing the Mosquito Creek Basin. Novo controls ~65%.
