NovaGold: Maybe The Best Gold Leverage Of Mines Under Development (Rating Upgrade)
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.
NovaGold Q2 2026 Earnings Call Focuses on Donlin Progress
NG earnings call highlights steady Donlin Gold progress, feasibility study on track for H1 2027, strong liquidity and rising development spending.
NovaGold: Barrick Walked Away From Donlin, But Investors Shouldn't
NovaGold offers significant leverage to gold via its 60% stake in the Donlin project, one of the world's largest, highest-grade undeveloped gold assets. NG trades at roughly 25 cents on the dollar of spot NPV, below the $10/share price paid by institutional investors in a recent $310 million placement. Permitting is largely complete, with state and federal approvals secured; the next major catalyst is the bankable feasibility study expected in early 2027.
