About Novagold Resources
Novagold Resources focuses on identifying and developing gold deposits, with its work centered in the United States. The company is best known for its stake in the Donlin Gold project, a large property in the Kuskokwim region of southwestern Alaska that spans 493 mining claims covering roughly 29,008 hectares.
Novagold's activities center on advancing this gold property rather than active mining production, positioning it within the exploration and development stage of the gold business.
Novagold traces its origins to 1984, when it was established as NovaCan Mining Resources (1985) Limited, adopting its current name in March 1987. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, and its shares are listed on the NYSE Arca under the ticker NG.
