NOVAGOLD Resources Inc. operates in the gold mining sector and is focused on advancing the Donlin Gold project located in Alaska. This project is jointly owned by NOVAGOLD and Barrick Gold Corporation. The company does not currently produce gold and does not generate operating earnings; instead, it relies on equity and debt financing to explore its mineral properties. As of now, NOVAGOLD is engaged primarily in project development and optimization, rather than revenue generation from mining operations.
The company has a diversified corporate structure with several wholly-owned subsidiaries, and as of November 30, 2023, it employed 13 full-time staff alongside various consultants. NOVAGOLD emphasizes a culture of safety, diversity, and community engagement, seeking to manage environmental impacts and comply with regulatory requirements effectively. Their current focus includes conducting geological studies and preparing for feasibility assessments to facilitate future mining operations at Donlin Gold.
