NOVAGOLD (NYSE-MKT, TSX: NG) is a well-financed precious metals company engaged in the development of mineral properties in North America. The Company's flagship asset, the 50%-owned Donlin Gold project in Alaska, is past the halfway point in permitting. Permitting is a clearly defined process expected to take 4 years. Donlin Gold is a uniquely attractive asset which, in terms of size, grade, exploration potential, production profile and jurisdictional safety, is regarded to be the most important gold project in the world today. As per the Feasibility Study, Donlin Gold is expected to produce greater than 1M ounces annually over a 27-year mine life.
