Company Overview

Novagold Resources Inc. is a mineral exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm is focused on advancing large-scale precious metals projects through disciplined project management, environmental stewardship and community engagement. Novagold maintains a lean corporate structure while leveraging partnerships and industry expertise to advance its projects toward production.

The company’s flagship asset is the Donlin Gold project in Alaska, a 50/50 joint venture with Barrick Gold Corporation. Donlin Gold is regarded as one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits globally, with a high-grade resource hosted in favorable geology near existing infrastructure. Novagold and its partner have completed extensive technical studies, environmental baseline work and community consultation programs as part of the permitting process.

In addition to Donlin Gold, Novagold has previously held interests in the Galore Creek copper-gold-silver project in northwestern British Columbia in partnership with Teck Resources. While that project is currently on hold pending market conditions, the company continues to evaluate other high-quality exploration opportunities that align with its focus on long-lived, large-scale deposits.

Founded in 1984, Novagold is led by President and CEO Gregory A. Lang, supported by a board of directors with deep experience in mining finance, project development and environmental management. The company seeks to build value through strategic partnerships, rigorous technical analysis and a commitment to sustainable development practices in the regions where it operates.
