From NG news Release...At its 50%-owned Galore Creek project in northern British Columbia, NovaGold and Teck are considering a more aggressive program for 2010 to advance the project toward a construction decision. The Galore Creek deposit contains 8.9 billion pounds of copper, 7.3 million ounces of gold and 123 million ounces of silver in measured and indicated resources, making it one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits in North America. The Provincial and Federal governments recently announced support to build a power line along Hwy 37 to Bob Quinn, which is the starting point of the Galore Creek access road. Given the continued strength of the copper and gold markets, NovaGold expects to release a new mine plan for the project in early 2010 that will include updated economics using higher copper and gold prices and an optimized project design.
