Donlin Gold Reports 2022 Drill Assay Results Yielding More High-Grade Intercepts

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Donlin Gold LLC (“Donlin Gold”), owned 50/50 by Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) (TSX: ABX) (NYSE: GOLD) and NOVAGOLD RESOURCES INC. (“NOVAGOLD”) (TSX, NYSE American: NG), is pleased to report additional assay results from the 2022 drill program, including 64 completed drill holes plus partial results for 9 holes. Key takeaways include:

• The drilling was completed ahead of schedule in September, with assay results received to date representing approximately 70% or 29,600 meters (m) of drilling
  • The top five intervals in this release come from four of the 30 holes drilled in the 20x20 m spaced Divide grid, and with 97% of the assays from these 30 holes received, results demonstrate the potential for favorable local reconciliation with the resource model
  • During the 2022 drill program, 141 exploration drill holes were completed at 42,331 m, with the final assay results expected to be released in early 2023

• The 2022 field season and Donlin Gold owners’ workshop in September advanced key project efforts including the geological model which confirms the size and continuity of the orebody and paves the way for the next steps such as optimizing different mining scenarios, refining engineering studies, continuing community outreach, and advancing permitting actions
• With these additional assay results, the owners are advancing Donlin Gold up the value chain and are working toward a feasibility study decision
  

Statements by the Owners

Barrick President and Chief Executive Mark Bristow said: “I am encouraged by the progress that we are making at Donlin and in particular the understanding that our teams are accruing with regards to the orebodies and associated mineralization. Our recent workshop in Anchorage which also involved meetings with our Native Corporation partners, and the visit to the project helped us to set priorities for the next steps towards optimization work and studies.”

Greg Lang, NOVAGOLD’s President and CEO, said: “The 2022 drill campaign has proven rewarding for all of us at NOVAGOLD. The latest set of assays reported have delivered outstanding gold intercepts, especially for an open pit deposit that include, among others, drill hole DC22-2068 that intersected 42.28 m grading 30.68 g/t gold, with a sub-interval of 23.16 m grading 54.22 g/t gold located in the Divide domain which overlaps both the ACMA and Lewis deposits, making it one of the most significant intercepts in terms of grade-thickness ever reported at the Donlin Gold project”.

Dan Graham, General Manager of Donlin Gold added, “The 2022 Donlin Gold drill program has been a great success because of the truly remarkable work performed by the Donlin Gold team, including Calista and The Kuskokwim Corporation (TKC), and because of our collective dedication to the health and safety of everyone at site. We are thankful for our 150 contractors and employees, the majority of which are local hires from 24 Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-K) communities, as they exceeded productivity rates and were able to complete the drilling ahead of schedule.”

Delivering Results

The prime focus of our activities this year was to undertake a drill program of 42,331 m with tight-spaced grid drilling in structural domains, in-pit and below-pit exploration in sparsely drilled areas, platform mapping to further confirm mineralization continuity and key geological controls in representative areas of the deposit with the results informing and supporting the global resource estimate, recent modelling concepts, and strategic mine planning work. Donlin Gold also completed additional condemnation drilling for the waste rock facility and 14 geotechnical drill holes for the Alaska Dam Safety certificates. In June, the Donlin Gold LLC Board approved an additional 43 drill holes totaling 8,380 more meters than originally planned to infill the Lewis 20x20 m grid to 10x10 m spacing.

The tight-spaced grid drilling program was initiated in 2021, beginning in East ACMA and expanded into West ACMA, Divide, and Lewis in 2022. The focus of the grid drilling program was to increase confidence in the extent and continuity of gold mineralization and structural controls over short-scale distances. The results received from the ACMA grids have confirmed recent geological modelling at wider drill-spacings in the immediate area surrounding the grid and have identified additional short-scale controls that will be employed to update and improve the geological domains used for resource estimation. Along with results from the Divide and Lewis grids, this will enable us to determine the best path forward toward an updated feasibility study, subject to a formal decision by the Donlin Gold LLC Board.

We are most encouraged by the expanded drill program for 2022, directed at the upside prospects in areas of the ACMA and Lewis pits where drilling had been limited to date. The new assays received have thus far yielded positive intercepts. The top five intervals in this release come from four of the 30 holes drilled in the Divide grid. With 97% of the assays from these holes received, the Divide grid results demonstrate the potential for favorable local reconciliation with the resource model. One of the top intervals (DC22-2068, 117.52-159.80 m) is shown on the cross section in Figure 1, and details on the geological context of occurrence for each are below:

• DC22-2068 intersected 42.28 m grading 30.68 g/t gold starting at 117.52 m drilled depth, including a sub-interval of 23.16 m grading 54.22 g/t gold starting at 124.97 m drilled depth; the drill-hole is sub-parallel to a mineralized intrusive and the true widths of the interval and sub-interval are estimated to be 29 m and 16 m, respectively (e.g., Figure 1)
• DC22-2077 intersected 48.96 m grading 20.61 g/t gold starting at 150.11 m drilled depth, including sub-intervals of 9.08 m grading 13.27 g/t gold starting at 152.60 m drilled depth and 31.29 m grading 27.09 g/t gold starting at 167.78 m drilled depth; the true widths of the mineralization across this interval and sub-intervals are estimated to be 32 m, 6m and 21 m, respectively
• DC22-2063 intersected 60.96 m grading 12.35 g/t gold starting at 236.22 m drilled depth, including sub-intervals of 33.37 m grading 13.80 g/t gold starting at 247.06 m drilled depth and 8.79 m grading 26.73 g/t gold starting at 287.15 m drilled depth; the true widths of mineralization across this interval and sub-intervals are estimated to be 44 m, 24m and 6 m, respectively
• DC22-2063 intersected 19.74 m grading 34.17 g/t gold starting at 162.18 m drilled depth, including a sub-interval of 11.35 m grading 57.93 g/t gold starting at 165.38 m drilled depth; the true widths of mineralization across this interval and sub-interval are estimated to be 13 m and 8 m, respectively
• DC22-2092 intersected 41.19 m grading 6.64 g/t gold starting at 116.12 m drilled depth, including a sub-interval of 8.51 m grading 16.47 g/t gold starting at 147.47 m drilled depth; the true widths of mineralization across this interval and sub-interval are estimated to be 29 m and 6m, respectively

Permitting & Stakeholder Engagement

Donlin Gold is a federally permitted project on private land with excellent and longstanding Native Corporation partners. Permitting in Alaska has represented a substantial undertaking over several years to ensure a diligent, thorough, transparent, and inclusive process for all involved, including stakeholders from the Y-K region. In the third quarter, Donlin Gold applied for a new air quality permit from ADEC. A draft permit is expected to be issued for public comment by the end of 2022. Donlin Gold is also preparing an updated Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for a regularly scheduled renewal by ADEC. Furthermore, Donlin Gold is working with Calista, TKC, ADNR, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management on re-locating easements and public ROWs in the project area. ADNR issued the proposed re-location plan for public comment in the summer of 2022.

Donlin Gold, its owners, and its partners Calista and TKC are intimately familiar with the permitting and regulatory processes applicable to the project and will continue to support the State in its defense of the thorough and diligent permitting process. Together, they will also continue working to secure the various remaining state-level permits and certificates required for the project.

Donlin Gold continues to work with Calista and TKC in all aspects of outreach and engagement throughout the Y-K region in the areas of education, health and safety, cultural traditions, and environmental initiatives, including creating a subsistence committee comprised of independent regional stakeholders reflecting diverse views on development initiatives, among other activities.

Some of these activities included the Backhaul Project, “In It for the Long Haul”. This was the fifth annual backhaul project to collect, remove, and safely dispose of household hazardous and electronic waste from 30 remote villages throughout the Y-K region, removing nearly 400,000 lbs. of waste during the last five years that would otherwise have ended up in landfills and waterways. Sustained efforts are also underway to promote youth education and healthy activities in the Y-K region through the Alaska School Activities Association and programs such as Alaska EXCEL, which provides life-changing educational and professional opportunities for rural Alaska students and young adults.

Donlin Gold signed two additional Shared Value Statements in the last three months with villages in the Y-K region for a total of 11 that formalize current engagement with key local communities, expand upon the long-term relationships already established with them, and address specific community needs including: water, sewer, and solid waste projects; the ice road that connects remote villages in the Y-K region; salmon and other aquatic life studies; and suicide and public safety prevention programs.

Calista and Donlin Gold also continued their proactive, bipartisan outreach in Alaska and Washington, D.C. to highlight the thoroughness of the project’s environmental review and permitting processes, in addition to the considerable benefits that the project would deliver to Native Alaskans. As a result, Alaska’s U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan have been long term supporters of the Donlin Gold project.

Donlin Gold 2022 Project Expenditures

The 2022 expenditure for Donlin Gold LLC (on a 100% basis) is expected to be $64 million, split equally between the two owners. The budget’s focus is to refresh geologic modelling and interpretation work for an updated resource model, as well as engineering activities to inform an updated feasibility study decision. In addition to the 42,331 meters of exploration drilling, the 2022 expenditures include fieldwork for the Alaska Dam Safety certificates, environmental studies, and external affairs activities.

Consistent with their longstanding track record, the owners will continue to advance the Donlin Gold project in a financially disciplined manner while emphasizing a strong safety culture, environmental stewardship, engineering excellence, and active community engagement.

About Donlin Gold

The Donlin Gold project is located in Alaska, the second largest gold-producing state in the United States. With approximately 39 million ounces of gold grading 2.24 grams per tonne in the measured and indicated mineral resource categories (100 percent basis)1, Donlin Gold hosts one of the largest and highest-grade undeveloped open-pit gold endowments in the world. The planned pits in which the existing resources are sited occupy only three kilometers of an eight-kilometer mineralized belt, which itself is located on less than 5% of Donlin Gold’s land position. Current activities at Donlin Gold are focused on the drill program, optimization efforts, community outreach, and advancing the remaining State permitting actions.

Donlin Gold is a committed partner to the Alaska Native communities both surrounding the project and within the State as a whole. This commitment underpins our approach and is also reflected in the way in which the asset itself is structured. An important factor that distinguishes Donlin Gold from most other mining assets in Alaska is that the project is located on private land designated for mining activities under the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Donlin Gold has entered into life-of-mine agreements with Calista, which owns the subsurface mineral rights and some surface land rights, and TKC, a collection of ten village corporations, which owns the majority of surface land rights. Donlin Gold is committed to providing employment opportunities, scholarships, and preferential contract considerations to Calista and TKC shareholders. The life-of-mine agreements include a revenue-sharing structure established in the context of the ANCSA, which resolved Alaska Native land claims and allotted some 44 million acres of land for use by Alaska Native Corporations. Additionally, our long-term commitment to economic development in the Y-K region is exemplified by Donlin Gold’s support of TKC’s initiative to launch energy and infrastructure projects in middle Kuskokwim villages. These partnerships, activities, and programs are illustrative of Donlin Gold’s commitment to sustainable and responsible development of the project for the benefit of all stakeholders.

QA/QC Procedures

The QA/QC procedures for the 2022 Donlin Gold project drill program and sampling protocol were developed and managed by Donlin Gold and overseen by Barrick and NOVAGOLD. The chain of custody from the drill site to the sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. All samples are HQ-diameter core. Approximately 95% core recovery has been achieved during the 2022 drill program. Core was logged, cut, and sampled at site by Donlin Gold employees. Samples were primarily collected on one- to two-meter lengths. Sampled half-core was crushed in Bureau Veritas’ Juneau and Fairbanks, Alaska sample preparation facilities. Crushed samples were sent to Bureau Veritas’ lab in Vancouver, British Columbia for pulverizing and gold assays and pulverized splits to an ALS Limited lab in Vancouver, British Columbia for multi-element analysis. Quality control samples were inserted (standards at 5% of primary samples, blanks at 5% of primary samples and duplicates at 2.5% of primary samples) into each batch of samples. The review of the quality control samples did not indicate any bias or error. Out of bounds quality control samples were handled with appropriate reruns and investigations. There are no known factors that would materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the drill program data referred to in this media release.

Downhole directional surveys were completed on all reported completed holes by Boart Longyear drill operators, and collar surveys were completed by Donlin Gold staff under the supervision of Professional Licensed Surveyors from Brice Engineering LLC.

Each of Bureau Veritas, ALS Limited, Boart Longyear, and Brice Engineering LLC are independent of Donlin Gold, Barrick, and NOVAGOLD.

Scientific and Technical Information

In mid-2021, NOVAGOLD engaged Wood Canada Limited (“Wood”) to update the Second Updated Feasibility Study on Donlin Gold completed in 2011 (the “2011 Technical Report”). This update resulted in a report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Donlin Gold Project, Alaska, USA” with an effective date of June 1, 2021 (the “2021 Technical Report”). In 2021, NOVAGOLD also engaged Wood to prepare a Donlin Gold technical report summary in accordance with Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K – Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations (“S-K 1300”) as of November 30, 2021. The resulting report is titled “S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Donlin Gold Project, Alaska, USA” (“S-K 1300 Report”), current as of November 30, 2021. Wood incorporated 2020 costs and new gold price guidance to meet the NOVAGOLD’s reporting requirements. The resultant 2021 Technical Report and S-K 1300 Report showed no material change to the previously reported mineral resources or mineral reserves.

NOVAGOLD is a registrant with the SEC and is reporting its Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in accordance with S-K 1300 as of November 30, 2021. While the S-K 1300 rules are similar to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) rules in Canada, they are not identical and therefore two reports have been produced for the Donlin Gold project.
