DONLIN GOLD 2020 Q4 DRILLING PROGRAM ASSAY RESULTS CONTINUE TO EXCEED MODELED PROJECTIONS WHILE PARTNERS DELIVER A SAFE AND COVID-FREE YEAR
Donlin Gold LLC, owned 50/50 by Barrick Gold Corp. and Novagold Resources Inc., has provided the third set of assay results from the successful 2020 85-hole, 23,400-metre drill program.
Assay results for 67 holes have been received to date (representing approximately 16,680 metres or 71 per cent of the length drilled), of which 25 holes (representing 30 per cent of the length drilled) were announced on Aug. 6 and Oct. 26, 2020:
-
Assay results continue to demonstrate higher drilled grade-thickness than predicted by previous modelling.
-
Data collected have resulted in an improved understanding of the controls on mineralization.
-
Remaining assay results from the 2020 program are expected in the first quarter of 2021.
-
Additional confirmation and extension drilling planned for 2021.
-
No COVID-19 cases and zero lost-time injuries on site in 2020.
- Continuing community support, providing timely responses for needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objectives of the 2020 drill program and results to date
The primary objective of the 2020 drill program, the largest such campaign at Donlin Gold since 2008, has been to validate and increase the confidence in recent geologic modelling concepts.
Results to date, in both the ACMA and Lewis deposit areas, continue to exceed modelled grade thickness, with higher grades observed over narrower intervals, particularly in sedimentary rocks. Final assay results for the 2020 drill program are expected to be reported in the first quarter of 2021.
Additional confirmation and extension drilling is planned in 2021 focusing on mineralization continuity, structural control, resource model upgrades and geotechnical data collection. The program specifics will be finalized once all assay results have been received and integrated into an interim model update.
Five of the top intervals received since the Oct. 26, 2020, media release include:

Statements by the owners
With more than 70 per cent of drill assays now reported, the results of the 2020 drill program continue to advance Donlin Gold up the value chain.
"Assay results received to date are encouraging and support the drill program to better understand the Donlin Gold orebody and derisk the project development. The ongoing modelling work and planned 2021 follow-up drilling program could further enhance the project parameters," said Mark Bristow, president and chief executive officer of Barrick. "Well done to the Donlin team for delivering a safe and COVID-free year," Mr. Bristow added.
Greg Lang, Novagold's president and chief executive officer, said: "In an era characterized by declining gold grades, it is truly rewarding to continue to be able to report drill results that support the potential of Donlin Gold, already an impressive asset in terms of size and grade for a large-scale open-pit gold project. Indeed, the latest assay results continue to point to additional high-grade gold intersections that have only served to add confidence in recent geologic modelling concepts, while confirming multiple high-grade extensions in both the intrusive (igneous) and sedimentary rocks."
Mr. Lang added: "We are proud to be bringing a federally permitted project up the value chain in one of the world's most desirable jurisdictions where socially and environmentally responsible mining projects are welcome -- the great state of Alaska. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Donlin Gold and contractor teams as well as our Alaska native corporation partners, Calista Corp. and The Kuskokwim Corp. (TKC), for their reinforcement of our unwavering commitment to the highest standards of safety, social responsibility and environmental stewardship, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19."
COVID-19 response and community engagement update
In 2020, 80 per cent of Donlin Gold direct hires for the drill program were Alaska natives. Extensive communication and the application of health and safety protocols resulted in zero COVID-19 cases on site during the year. There were also no lost-time injuries; a testament to the team's focus on operating safely and effectively. Enhanced COVID-19 health protocols will remain in place at Donlin Gold, with the objective of protecting the health of Donlin Gold's employees, contractors, along with their families and home communities.
Donlin Gold has worked with its Alaska native partners Calista, TKC and other key representatives of the communities in the region, responding to needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in other areas such as environmental management, training and education, and cultural initiatives in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region as featured below:
-
COVID-19 -- established a partnership with Bethel Community Services Foundation to support the Y-K Resiliency Fund and Covenant House Alaska for homeless and at-risk youth services in Bethel. Supplies were provided to 766 families and meals served to 3,700 participants in the elders and youth program;
-
Environmental -- worked with TKC, the State of Alaska and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium in an initiative to upgrade and improve health and safety standards of water and sewer services in Middle Kuskokwim area communities;
-
Training and Education -- hosted two virtual Alaska resource education camps for Y-K and Doyon students, and Donlin gold scholarships were awarded to students selected by Calista and TKC to improve access to education in the region. Calista has awarded a total of 225 scholarships, with 158 students attending schools in Alaska and the balance having gone to schools out of state, with more than 10 villages in the Y-K region represented;
-
Cultural initiatives -- strengthened sponsorship of the First Alaskans Institute at the elders and youth 2020 statewide conference, the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) annual convention, and provided distanced activities and programs for youth and Elders.
As part of Donlin Gold's continuing community engagement efforts, friendship agreements were approved and signed by five communities (Crooked Creek, Sleetmute, Nikolai, Akiak and Napaskiak) in the project's region in 2020. These agreements with Donlin Gold expand upon the long-term relationships already established with these communities and address specific community needs such as water, sewer and landfill projects; the ice road that connects remote villages in the Y-K region; salmon studies; and suicide prevention programs.
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 the company's 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 four decades ago. Donlin Gold has entered into life-of-mine agreements with Calista, which owns the subsurface mineral rights, and TKC, a collection of 10 village corporations, which owns the surface land rights, and is committed to providing employment opportunities, scholarships and preferential contract considerations. These agreements include a revenue-sharing structure, established by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANSCA) of 1971, which resolved Alaska native land claims, allotting 44 million acres for land use to Alaska native corporations. Additionally, the company's long-term commitment to economic development is exemplified by Donlin Gold's support of TKC's initiative to launch middle Kuskokwim energy and infrastructure projects. These partnerships, activities and programs are illustrative of the company's commitment to the sustainable and responsible development of the Donlin gold project for the benefit of all stakeholders.
About Donlin Gold
LLC
Donlin Gold LLC is an Alaska-based company owned equally by Barrick Gold U.S. Inc. and NovaGold Resources Alaska Inc., which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Barrick and Novagold, respectively.
Donlin Gold 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 resource categories (100-per-cent 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 kilometres of an eight-kilometre mineralized belt, which itself is located on less than 5 per cent of Donlin Gold's land position. Current activities at Donlin gold are focused on the drill program, optimization efforts and community outreach.
Quality assurance/quality control procedures
The QA/QC procedures for the 2020 Donlin gold drill program and sampling protocol were developed and managed by Donlin Gold LLC 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 93-per-cent core recovery has been achieved to date. Core was logged, cut and sampled at site by Donlin gold employees. Samples were primarily collected on two-metre lengths, with a minimum length of 0.3 metre and maximum length of approximately 3.5 metres. Sampled half core was crushed and pulverized in ALS Ltd.'s Fairbanks, Alaska; Whitehorse, Yukon; or Vancouver, B.C., sample preparation facilities. Pulp samples were sent to the ALS labs in Vancouver, B.C.; Lima, Peru; or Reno, Nev., for gold assays and to labs in Vancouver, B.C., or Lima, Peru, for multielement analysis. At least 14 quality control samples (four standards, four coarse blanks, two pulp blanks, two coarse duplicates and two pulp duplicates) were inserted into each batch of 80 samples. The review of the quality control samples did not indicate any bias or error. 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 both Boart Longyear drill operators and on 96 per cent of reported completed holes by DGI Geoscience Inc. technicians, and collar surveys were completed on all holes by professional licensed surveyors from either Rowland Engineering Consultants or Brice Engineering LLC.
Each of ALS Ltd., Boart Longyear, DGI Geoscience Inc., Rowland Engineering Consultants and Brice Engineering LLC is independent of Donlin Gold, Barrick and Novagold.
