NOVAGOLD Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Advancing Donlin Gold to Prepare the Project for the Next Phase of Development;

Robust Treasury of $132 Million in Cash and Term Deposits, with

$25 Million of Receivables in 2023

 The 42,334-meter drill program is wrapping-up for the year. The joint release issued by NOVAGOLD,

Barrick and Donlin Gold on July 28, 2022 reported further encouraging assays, with more high-grade gold

intercepts that demonstrated good grade continuity. Additional results will be issued in the coming weeks.

 With Donlin Gold’s largest budget in over a decade, our focus is on the path forward, subject to Donlin

Gold LLC Board approval, toward the preparation of an updated feasibility study. To this end, the drill

program is providing the data for the geologic modelling and interpretation work for the updated

resource model while we engage in engineering studies, as well as pursue our comprehensive

environmental and community relations activities.

 NOVAGOLD’s strong cash position of $132 million as of August 31, 2022, with additional funds of $25 million

due in July 2023 from Newmont Corporation, should be sufficient to advance Donlin Gold to a construction

decision.

October 4 , 2022 - Vancouver, British Columbia – NOVAGOLD RESOURCES INC. (“NOVAGOLD” or “the

Company”) (NYSE American, TSX: NG) today released its 2022 third quarter financial results and an update on

its Tier One 1 gold development project , Donlin Gold, which NOVAGOLD owns equally with Barrick Gold

Corporation (“Barrick”).

Details of the financial results for the quarter ended August 31, 2022 are presented in the consolidated

financial statements and quarterly report filed on Form 10-Q on October 4, 2022 that is available on the

Company’s website at www.novagold.com, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. All

amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

In the third quarter 2022, the following milestones were achieved at Donlin Gold:

 The drill program wrapped-up with 141 holes and 42,334 meters completed for the year. The drilling

focused on tight-spaced grid drilling and also included in-pit and ex-pit exploration. Additional assay

results will be issued in the coming weeks, with the final results expected to be released by early 2023.

 On July 14, 2022, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC)’s Commissioner granted

the request for an adjudicatory hearing review on the State’s Clean Water Act Section 401 certification of

the Federal CWA Section 404 permit. The briefing process is underway, and we expect the hearing process

to be completed in the next six months.

 Donlin Gold worked with our dedicated community partners in Alaska and in the Yukon -Kuskokwim (Y-K)

region to execute the largest drill program at Donlin since 2007, while protecting the health and safety of

Donlin Gold’s employees and contractors. Most of the site crew for the program have been local hires

from 24 different communities in the Y-K region.

1 NOVAGOLD defines a Tier One gold development project as one with a projected production life of at least 10 years, annual projected

production of at least 500,000 ounces of gold, and average projected cash costs over the production life that are in the lower half of the

industry cost curve.

Community Services Foundation partnership and sponsorship of the Alaska Native Heritage

Center.

 Calista and Donlin Gold continued their proactive, bipartisan outreach in Alaska and Washington , D.C. to

highlight the thoroughness of the project’s environmental review and permitting processes , as well as the

benefits that the project would deliver to Native Alaskans.

President’s Message

Donlin Gold’s Outstanding Drill Results and Engagement Activities Lay a Solid

Foundation for the Path Forward

The NOVAGOLD management team’s commitment to the Donlin Gold project has been unwavering for more

than 10 years because we — and all our stakeholders — recognize the unique potential of this future

operation. The extensive and cumulative work invested in the Donlin Gold project has substantially enhanced

its value to Alaskans as well as our shareholders. It has also consistently validated the attractiveness of

continuing to responsibly advance this excellent gold asset up the value chain. This year alone, the

combination of an ambitious drill program with our geological modelling and interpretation work for the

updated resource model, engineering studies, environmental activities, and vast community relations and

government affairs efforts with our Native Corporation partners, Calista and TKC, have all contributed toward

multiple achievements to date.

We refer to Donlin as “the gift that keeps on giving”. Unsurprisingly, therefore, we continue to be most

encouraged by the outstanding drill results of the ACMA and Lewis pits. The assay results released to date

have returned significant high-grade intercepts and demonstrated good grade continuity. They shall further

inform and support the global resource estimate, recent modelling concepts, and strategic mine pl anning

work. Examples of high-grade drill-hole intercepts include DC22-2040 that intersected 52.27 m grading 14.63

g/t gold; drill-hole DC22-2040 that intersected 18.65 m grading 10.78 g/t gold; and drill-hole DC22-2056 that

intersected 73.98 m grading 4.21 g/t gold. For a more extensive description of recent drill results, please refer

to the joint release from NOVAGOLD, Barrick and Donlin Gold dated July 28, 2022.

With the receipt of these excellent results, the Donlin Gold LLC Board approved an increase in the 2022 drill

program in the third quarter from 34,000 meters to 42,000 meters. The drilling at site recently wrapped-up

with a total of 141 holes, which included an additional 43 holes and some 8,000 meters more than the original

2022 planned work. To date, the Donlin Gold project reported assay results for approximately 9,870 meters of

the 2022 drilling program with additional assays expected to be released in the coming weeks and the final

results by early 2023. The drill program included 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, waste rock facility condemnation drilling,

and 14 geotechnical drill holes for the Alaska Dam Safety certificates. With this additional drilling, the Don lin

Gold 2022 expenditures are now anticipated to stand at $64 million (of which NOVAGOLD’s portion is 50%).

The budget also supports the advancement of numerous environmental activities, and finances community

and external affairs efforts.

The success of our drill program in the third quarter — and for the first nine months of the year — is due to

the exceptional dedication of the Donlin Gold team in Anchorage and at site, the majority of which are local

hires from 24 different communities in the Y-K region, who all share the goal of protecting the health and

safety of their colleagues. That goal, both at NOVAGOLD and at Donlin Gold, is indeed our top priority.

As part of Donlin Gold’s largest budget in over a decade, efforts in 2022 have focused on drilling to wrap -up

the geologic modelling and interpretation work for an updated resource model, updating and advancing

engineering studies, and continuing our extensive environmental and community relations activities, as

together we determine the path forward toward an updated feasibility study, subject to a formal approval by

the Donlin Gold LLC Board.

A Federally Permitted Project on Private Land with Excellent and Longstanding Native

Corporation Partnerships

Permitting in Alaska has represented a substantial undertaking over several years — and in fact a tremendous

achievement — to ensure a diligent, thorough, transparent, and inclusive process for all involved, i ncluding

stakeholders from the Y-K region. Donlin Gold, working closely with its Native Corporation partners, provides

support to the State of Alaska as authorities advance various permits and certificates required for the project.

For instance, Donlin Gold continues to support the ADEC in its efforts regarding the State’s Clean Water Act

(CWA) Section 401 certification (the “401 Certification”) of the Federal CWA Section 404 permit. On July 14,

2022, the ADEC Commissioner granted the request for an adjudicatory hearing review related to potential

water temperature effects in Crooked Creek. The briefing process is underway, and we expect the hearing

process to be completed in the next six months.

The inherent value of having a federally permitted project on private land designated by law for mining should

not be overlooked. As with all mining projects in the developed world, we have always prepared and

organized ourselves for challenges. Our management team is intimately familiar with the processes that need

to be followed. Donlin Gold and its owners, alongside the steadfast advocacy of Calista and TKC, shall continue

to support the State in its defense of what constitutes an exceptionally thorough and diligent permitting

process.

It should also be noted that all appeals challenging Donlin Gold permits to date have been unsuccessful, often

multiple times. And we have confidence in the process. Nevertheless, objecting to mining happens to be a

business in itself. On September 20, 2021, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources’ (ADNR) issuance of

the Right-of-Way (ROW) lease for the portions of the natural gas pipeline on State lands was separately

appealed in Alaska Superior Court by two parties: (1) Earthjustice representing Orutsararmiut Native Council

(ONC), the native villages of Eek, Chevak, and Kwigillingok, and Cook InletKeeper; and (2) Robert Fithian, an

adventure business owner who operates near the ROW. The two appeals have now been consolidated into a

single case that is pending before the Alaska Superior Court based in Anchorage, Alaska. Legal briefings are

being prepared by the parties and we anticipate a decision on both appeals in 2023.

In 2021, the State of Alaska’s issuance of water rights for the mine and transportation facilities was appealed

to the Commissioner of the ADNR. On April 25, 2022, the ADNR Commissioner denied the appeal; however,

Earthjustice, ONC and five villages appealed the Commissioner’s decision in Alaska Superior Court on May 25,

2022. ADNR filed the Administrative Record with the Court on September 12, 2022, and the appellants are

preparing their initial brief. A decision is expected in 2023.

Donlin Gold applied for a new air quality permit from ADEC, which is expected to be in place when the cur rent

permit expires in mid-2023. The Donlin Gold air quality permit renewal is required in order to ascertain that

emissions controls reflect best technology and to re-confirm that air quality standards will be met. 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,

for which we anticipate a decision by mid-2023. 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 and a final decision is

expected to be announced by the end of the year. Lastly, the field work related to the issuance of the Alaska

Dam Safety certificates resumed during the third quarter of 2022.

Extensive Engagement in Partnership with Regional Stakeholders… With Consistent,

Long-Term Support from Alaska’s U.S. Senators for the Donlin Gold Project

Donlin Gold is enormously fortunate to enjoy time-tested partnerships with Calista and TKC, owners of the

mineral and surface rights, respectively. Donlin Gold’s location on private land specially designated for mining

activities following the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) represents a key differentiating

factor from most other mining assets in Alaska. We deeply appreciate the critical value of having engaged

Native Corporation partners and meaningful Tribal input that provide valuable insight about their land and

support efforts for responsible and sustainable economic development through every phase of the Donlin

Gold 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.

In the third quarter, Donlin Gold and NOVAGOLD contributed to and participated in 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. Over the past

five years, nearly 400,000 lbs. of waste was removed 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 programs such as Alaska EXCEL, which provides life-changing educational and professional

opportunities for rural Alaska students and young adults, and the Alaska School Activities Association. Other

important initiatives that took place during the third quarter included sponsoring the Alaska Native Heritage

Center which encourages cultural awareness across Alaska and our partnership with the Bethel Community

Services Foundation which is dedicated to the development, growth, continuance and enhancement of

community-based programs and services.

In the third quarter, Donlin Gold signed two additional Shared Value Statements with villages in the Y -K region

for a total of 11 (Akiak, Sleetmute, Napaimute, Crooked Creek, Napaskiak, Nikolai, Tuluksak, Upper Kalskag,

Stony River, Pilot Station, and Toksook Bay). These agreements 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 consistently expressed their long-term support of the Donlin Gold project.

A World-Class Asset in the Right Part of the World… With Sustainable Longevity and

Exceptional Exploration Potential

Donlin Gold merits all of the attention it receives because of its unique principal attributes. These include first

and foremost the project’s enormous mineral endowment and scale, with approximately 39 million ounces in

Measured and Indicated Resources, inclusive of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. Such reserves provide

Donlin Gold with among the largest “in production capability” in the gold industry, with a mine life of at least

27 years — and with an exceptionally high grade at 2.24 grams per tonne2, or twice the industry average for

an open-pit project3. This advantage, in turn, enables Donlin Gold to be predicted to constitute one of the

lowest cost producers in the gold space. The great exploration potential is another exceptionally attractive

attribute, whereby the open-pit resource outline encompasses only three kilometers of an eight-kilometer

mineralized belt — which itself represents less than 5% of the total land package.

For all these reasons and more, we believe that Donlin Gold stands in a league of its own as a premier gold

deposit. Once developed, the project has the potential to form a major source of responsible economic

development for the Y-K region for decades to come. Meanwhile, Alaska, as the second largest gold-

producing State in the United States with a well-established tradition of responsible mining, provides

undeniable sustainable longevity for an operation like Donlin Gold.

“The Tortoise and the Hare”… And a Comfortable Treasury to Advance Donlin Gold to

Win the Race

As stewards of the capital that we were entrusted with over a decade ago, the leadership of NOVAGOLD has

diligently advanced the Donlin Gold project in a highly responsible manner, all the while keeping promises

that were made to shareholders in 2012. Guided by a highly experienced management team with a strong

track record of execution, we have focused on reducing risks while enhancing the value of the Company. With

$132 million in cash and term deposits as of August 31, 2022, a further $25 million due in July 2023 from

Newmont Corporation, and an additional payment of $75 million contingent upon the owners of Galore Creek

2 Donlin Gold data as per the 2021 Technical Report and S-K 1300 Report (both as defined herein). Donlin Gold possesses Measured

Resources of approximately 8 Mt grading 2.52 g/t and Indicated Resources of approximately 534 Mt grading 2.24 g/t, each on a 100%

basis and inclusive of Mineral Reserves, of which approximately 4 Mt of Measured Resources and approximately 267 Mt of Indicated

Resources inclusive of Reserves is attributable to NOVAGOLD through its 50% ownership interest in Donlin Gold LLC. Exclusive of Mineral

Reserves, Donlin Gold possesses Measured Resources of approximately 1 Mt grading 2.23 g/t and Indicated Resources of approximately

69 Mt grading 2.44 g/t, of which approximately 0.5 Mt of Measured Resources and approximately 35 Mt of Indicated Resources exclusive

of Mineral Reserves is attributable to NOVAGOLD. Donlin Gold possesses Proven Reserves of approximately 8 Mt grading 2.32 g/t and

Probable Reserves of approximately 497 Mt grading 2.08 g/t, each on a 100% basis, of which approximately 4 Mt of Proven Reserves and

approximately 249 Mt of Probable Reserves is attributable to NOVAGOLD. Mineral Reserves and Resources have been estimated in

accordance with NI 43-101 and S-K 1300.

3 2020 average grade of open pit and underground deposits with gold as primary commodity and over 1 Moz in measured and indicat ed

resources is 1.12 g/t, sourced from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

making a construction decision, it is our informed opinion that we have sufficien t financial resources to

advance Donlin Gold activities up to a construction decision.

Patience constitutes a uniquely consequential virtue in our space — a reality which we have demonstrated

time and again over the last decade. Armed with a strong conviction, a healthy treasury, and the depth of

expertise required to de-risk and further advance the project, we have positioned Donlin Gold optimally for

the future. We call it “the tortoise and the hare” strategy.

NOVAGOLD defines what we consider to be the hallmark of a great natural resource investment, as stated on

many occasions by our Chairman and largest shareholder Dr. Thomas S. Kaplan. A seasoned investor with over

three decades of experience in the space, his investment thesis centers on establishing a stake in “great assets

that provide enormous leverage to an underlying theme…and that are located in a safe jurisdiction that will

allow one to keep the fruits of that leverage”. In light of its many outstanding and differentiating attributes,

Donlin Gold seems tailor-made to fill a real vacuum of high-quality projects in the gold industry’s pipeline.

Our efforts simply would not be as successful without the unwavering support of our esteemed shareholders,

and that of our longstanding stakeholders Calista and TKC. We thank each and every one of them for their

steadfastness in working so constructively with the Donlin Gold team, for an excellent drill season, and for the

team’s commitment to safely executing their 2022 drill program objectives and community-focused activities.

Our appreciation also extends to the State government agencies and representatives that have been

advancing permitting efforts with great transparency and professionalism. I am personally grateful for our

employees’ loyalty and for the way in which they have gone above and beyond to advance our strategy and

support our stakeholders and partners, as well as for our Board’s strategic guidance and high standard of

conduct.

We remain ever so obliged to those who choose to invest in our Company, as well as for their continued

interest and engagement. As a shareholder myself, I take that responsibility very seriously and, with the

support of our management team, we will continue to work diligently to further advance the Company and

the Donlin Gold project.

Sincerely,

Gregory A. Lang

$6,187 in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2022, Net loss increased by $4.3 million from 2021, primarily due to the expanded

Donlin Gold work program, higher interest expense on the Barrick promissory note, a decrease in the fair

market value of marketable securities, lower accretion income due to the maturity of the $75 million Newmont

note in July 2021, and foreign exchange movements, partially offset by increased interest earned on cash and

term deposits.

In the first nine months of 2022, Net loss increased by $10.8 million from 2021, primarily due to the expanded

Donlin Gold work program, higher interest expense on the Barrick promissory note, lower accretion income,

and a decrease in the fair market value of marketable securities, partially offset by foreign exchange

movements and increased interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the third quarter of 2022 cash and cash equivalents decreased by $10.4 million primarily to fund our share

of Donlin Gold and for corporate administrative expenses. The increase in cash used in the third quarter of

2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to the expanded Donlin Gold work program in 2022. In July 2021,

we received proceeds of $75 million on the Newmont notes.

In the first nine months of 2022 cash and cash equivalents decreased by $29 .2 million primarily to fund our

share of Donlin Gold, for corporate administrative expenses, and for withholding taxes on share -based

payments, partially offset by a net $8 million received from term deposits. The increase in Net cash used in

operating activities during the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to the timing of

corporate liability insurance payments. Net cash used in investing activities increased in 2022 due to the

expanded Donlin Gold work program, partially offset by a net increase in net proceeds r eceived from term

deposits. In 2021, we received proceeds of $75 million on the Newmont notes. Net cash used in financing

activities increased in 2022 due to higher withholding tax on share-based compensation (no cash was used for

CEO and CFO withholdings in 2021).

At the end of the third quarter, cash and term deposits were $132 million (cash $62 million, term deposits $70

million). An additional payment from Newmont of $25 million comes due in 2023 related to the sale of

NOVAGOLD’s 50% interest in the Galore Creek project in 2018, along with a note receivable for $75 million

contingent upon approval of a Galore Creek project construction plan by the owner(s). At present, we believe

we have sufficient working capital available to cover anticipated funding of the Donlin Gold project and

corporate general and administrative costs until a decision to commence engineering and construction is

reached by the Donlin Gold LLC Board for the Donlin Gold project, at which point substantial additional capital

will be required.

2022 Outlook

We anticipate spending approximately $48 million in 2022, which includes $13 million for corporate general

and administrative costs; $3 million for withholding taxes on PSUs and other working capital; and $32 million

to fund our share of expenditures at the Donlin Gold project, including:

• $19 million for the 2022 drill program (approximately 42,000 meters of core drilling)

o Grid drilling (mineralization continuity and geologic structural controls in three areas of the

deposit)

o In-pit and ex-pit exploration

o Platform mapping to confirm mineralization continuity and key geological controls in

representative areas of the deposit

• $9 million for external affairs, permitting, environmental, land and legal activities, and

• $4 million for project planning and fieldwork (dam and water structures, metallurgical testing, mining

studies, hydrogeology and geochemistry, and infrastructure planning).

NOVAGOLD’s primary goals in 2022 are to continue to advance the Donlin Gold project toward a construction

decision; maintain or increase support for Donlin Gold among the project’s stakeholders; promote a strong

safety, sustainability, and environmental culture; maintain a peer-leading reputation for NOVAGOLD, its

governance practices and its project among shareholders; and manage the Company treasury effectively and

efficiently. Our operations primarily relate to the delivery of project milestones, including the achievement of

various technical, environmental, sustainable development, economic and legal objectives, obtaining necessary

permits, commencement of feasibility studies, preparation of engineering designs and the financing to fund

these objectives.

Conference Call & Webcast Details

NOVAGOLD’s conference call and webcast to discuss these results will take place on October 5, 2022, at
