Novagold Resources NYSEAMERICAN: NG said it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire 100% ownership of the Donlin Gold project through an all-share transaction with Paulson's Donlin Gold Holdings, consolidating the Alaska gold project under a single U.S.-domiciled parent company.
NOVAGOLD is taking a major step toward simplifying the development of one of the world's largest undeveloped gold deposits, announcing Wednesday that it has reached definitive agreements to acquire Paulson Advisers LLC's remaining 40% interest in the Donlin Gold project in an all-share transaction.
NovaGold Resources was downgraded to Sell after a +200% rally between February and October 2025. The nearly -60% share price decline from March has convinced me to upgrade to Buy. Through share issuance, NG now has enough cash to repay a promissory note to Barrick, while fully funding exploration drilling and a bankable feasibility study from Fluor into next summer. Upside leverage to gold at $6 per NG share is far different than $10 or $14 for new investors.
