Donlin Gold Secures Strategic Energy Pathway with Alaska LNG Agreement

Vancouver, Friday, 9 January 2026.
On January 8, 2026, NOVAGOLD’s Donlin Gold project significantly de-risked its future operations by signing a Letter of Intent with Glenfarne Alaska LNG. This strategic agreement proposes supplying up to 1.4 million cubic meters of natural gas daily through a new 508-kilometer pipeline, directly addressing the energy intensity required to mine one of the globally largest undeveloped gold deposits. By securing a low-cost, reliable energy source, the partnership aims to drastically improve project economics and unlock shareholder value. This development marks a critical juncture ahead of the upcoming Bankable Feasibility Study, signaling a maturing timeline for both the mine and regional infrastructure growth.
