With Barrick's exit complete, the 2025 Donlin Gold drill program pivoted toward converting resources to reserves and geotechnical work for a new Bankable Feasibility Study, returning high-grade intercepts up to 23.49 g/t gold along the way.
Donlin Gold released final 2022 drill assays, including a standout 17.20-meter intercept grading 11.11 g/t gold, completing the program ahead of schedule and under budget.
More high-grade 2022 assays, with drilling completed ahead of schedule (141 holes, 42,331 meters total) and results from the tightly-spaced Divide grid supporting the resource model.
Donlin Gold's 2022 drill program got off to a strong start, running ahead of schedule with encouraging high-grade assays from the first third of a planned 34,000-meter program.
Donlin Gold released final 2021 drill assays - a comprehensive 79-hole, 24,264-meter program with multiple high-grade intercepts - alongside news of the largest annual project budget in more than a decade.
Following an executive workshop between Barrick and NovaGold's CEOs and a site visit, the partners reaffirmed confidence in Donlin Gold and charted next steps toward a feasibility study update, alongside more high-grade assay results from the 2021 program.
Donlin Gold's 2021 drill program turned up significant new high-grade intercepts in the ACMA and "Divide" zones between the ACMA and Lewis deposits, pointing to potential feeder zones for the broader mineralizing system.
Donlin Gold released the final assays from the 2020 drill program (all 85 holes, 23,361 meters), confirming higher-than-modeled grade-thickness and prompting the board to consider a larger follow-up program for 2021.
Donlin Gold (NovaGold's 50/50 Alaska gold JV with Barrick) reported more assays from its 2020 drill program - 71% of the 85 holes now reported - continuing to show higher grade-thickness than the existing geologic model predicted.
