The US government has allocated $249 million to complete the Port MacKenzie Rail Extension in Alaska, which will directly connect to Nova Minerals' planned antimony processing facility. This rail link will enhance transportation efficiency, supporting Nova's Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project and helping establish a secure domestic antimony supply chain for defense and technology sectors. The funding covers about 80% of the $311 million project, with state and local contributions making up the rest. Improved infrastructure in the Mat-Su region is expected to accelerate resource development and production timelines for Nova and other projects.
