| Numerous companies have achieved success here and the government is very supportive and recognizes the importance of responsible natural resource development |
| Donlin holds status as a true Tier 1 asset in a world-leading jurisdiction and it is anticipated to provide exceptional gold leverage and economic benefits for all stakeholders |
| With approximately 39 million ounces of gold at an impressive grade of 2.25 grams more than twice the industry average and a projected mine life of almost 30 years Donlin Gold has the potential to become a significant and cost-effective producer |
| As you see on the bar chart, it offers exceptional value and a wide range of gold prices |
| And importantly, the project is situated on private land designated for mining in Alaska, a world-leading jurisdiction known for responsible mining practices and enduring partnerships with Calista and TKC that position the project favorably on a path toward development |
| As highlighted on slide 11, incredible upside exists to potentially increase ounces and extend the mine life, given the majority of the land is not thoroughly explored |
| And I think once we -- once the Fed signals that the rate hikes are over with, I think, the dollar will stabilize, if not drop, and that will be very good for gold |
| Alaska offers an excellent environment for mining and is in one of the world's safest jurisdictions |
| During the year, our environmental, social and governance achievements pictured on slide eight included an excellent health and safety record with zero lost time incidents, again, over 10 years since of this clean record, a project site workforce composed primarily of Alaska Native employees and an increase in community engagements and investments throughout the region |
| This advantage is expected to put Donlin as one of the lowest cost gold producers in the industry |
| We also conducted another successful in it for the long haul back-hole program for the sixth year in a row |
| With the combination of these attributes, Donlin Gold has the potential to form the cornerstone of genuine and sustainable economic development in the Y-K region for many decades to come |
| There are many different conflicting economic wins that are causing turbulence which I believe ultimately will be very positive for gold |
| It ranks the second largest gold producer in the United States with a well-defined permitting process |
| As one of the top development gold projects in the world, Donlin Gold, when built, is expected to serve as a cornerstone for economic, sustainable growth in the region for many years to come |
| From governance standpoint, our Board exhibits a well-balanced composition with strong representation of minorities and women |
| Our partners continued and time-tested collaboration, project support and full engagement are extremely valuable in ensuring responsible and economic development throughout all phases of the Donlin project |
| We are pleased that you have joined us for NovaGold's 2023 Third Quarter Financial Results and also for an update on the Donlin Gold Project |
| Excellent exploration potential exists beyond the defined resources located in the ACMA and Lewis areas on the diagram shown here, which occupies only three kilometers of an eight kilometer mineralized belt |
| As shown on slide 18, several positive updates occurred in the third quarter |
| It is important to put into context, the company's accomplishments since the reorganization over 10 years ago, especially for those who are new investors and less familiar with NovaGold |
| This is a differentiating factor from many other mining projects in Alaska |
| This year's program achieved significant milestones, including the removal of waste from fish camps in the middle Kuskokwim River |
| So to you and the team continue best of luck |
| The cycle we find ourselves in currently has several distinguishing factors that were not seen in past cycles, such as central banks accumulating gold at unprecedented rates, government debt and historical highs, lack of new discoveries and rising globalization trends just to name a few of the things which are predicted to have a positive impact on gold escalating demand and supply limitations underscore the value of mining equities with top-tier preproduction assets |
| As currently envisioned, with approximately 39 million ounces, Donlin Gold host one of the largest and highest grade undeveloped open pit endowments in the world which would average over 1 million ounces per year for 27 years |
| The work done on the project had added considerable value in a responsible manner for all stakeholders, including Alaska Residence and NovaGold shareholders |
| The recently completed comprehensive work provided valuable information for the Donlin Gold LLC Board and the owners, which was discussed further at the recent workshop in Alaska and are helping us define the next steps in the continued advancement of the Donlin Gold project |
| In addition, excellent exploration potential exists beyond the known resource area, which covers less than 5% of our extensive land holdings |
| Donlin Gold's steadfast commitment to advancing this extraordinary project carefully up the value chain is reflected in our increased investments in extensive and expanded partnerships |
| Statement |

| We reported a net loss of $11.1 million in the third quarter, a $5 million decrease from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower field expenses at Donlin Gold with fieldwork and geotechnical drilling for the Alaska DAM Safety certificate applications and hydrological drilling to support mine planning and design completed in July this year |
| When looking at the group of gold development projects in North and South America, as shown on slide nine, is by far the largest and with global gold production continuing to decrease, it is clear that the industry needs projects of scale, grade and longevity to ride out multiple gold price cycles |
| Despite multiple challenges, all appeals against Donlin Gold permits have been unsuccessful to-date, underscoring our ongoing confidence in the process |
| Also during the third quarter, the Environmental Commissioner upheld the Clean Water Act Section 401 certification of the US Army Corps of Engineers permit |
| With our unwavering support of Donlin Gold and its owners, we will continue to back the agencies in defending their thorough and diligent permitting process |
