This is a true 50/50 partnership, with each company bringing its strengths and expertise to the table. We also share like-minded values with an emphasis on strong sustainability and community engagement principles. Working together, each co-owner brings different and complementary skills to the project.

At the end of 2007, NOVAGOLD Resources Alaska Inc., a subsidiary of NOVAGOLD, and Barrick Gold US Inc., a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation, formed Donlin Gold LLC to oversee development of the Donlin Gold project. Donlin Gold is owned equally by both partners, with full participation by both companies on all aspects of project development. Barrick is the world's largest gold mining company, bringing project development, construction, and operations experience to the project. Like NOVAGOLD, Barrick is committed to upholding the highest environmental and social standards at its projects, and shares NOVAGOLD's commitments to the Calista Corporation, The Kuskokwim Corporation, and other community stakeholders.
