NOVUS GOLD CORP. EXERCISES REN PROPERTY REPURCHASE OPTION

7,500,000 SHARES ISSUED TO TERRA VENTURES INC.

February 4, 2010 – Vancouver, BC – Novus Gold Corp. (TSX-V:NOV) (“Novus” or “the Company”) wishes to announce that it has exercised its option to repurchase a 51% interest in the REN gold property from Terra Ventures Inc. (“Terra”) by issuing 7.5 million shares to Terra (the “Repurchase Option”). Prior to Novus exercising the Repurchase Option, Terra had acquired a 51% interest in the REN property in the Northwest Territories as a result of having incurred $1.5-million in expenditures on the REN property by December 31, 2009. Terra now holds approximately18.2% of the Company’s 41,125,000 issued shares.

The REN property hosts banded iron formation gold showings in the Point Lake area, approximately 90 kilometres southwest of the formerly producing Lupin gold mine owned by Echo Bay Mines. Approximately 30 drill holes were completed on the main gold showing on the REN property between 1974 and 1990 by Texasgulf, Cominco and Westview. A further nine holes were drilled by Terra in 2009 (results in a press release dated January 11, 2010).
