Winston Score History

The full picture

NovaGold Resources is a gold mining company focused on developing one of the largest known gold deposits in the world. Its main asset is the Donlin Gold project in Alaska, which it owns in a 50/50 joint venture with Barrick Gold. The project has not yet started producing gold — NovaGold is still in the development and permitting stage.

The company does not currently generate revenue from selling gold, which explains its 0% margins and negative returns. It funds its operations by raising money from investors while it works toward eventually building and operating the Donlin mine. Donlin Gold holds an estimated 39 million ounces of gold resources, making it one of the most significant undeveloped gold projects anywhere. The key risk is that bringing a mine of this scale into production requires billions of dollars in capital, regulatory approvals, and years of construction — any delays or cost overruns could significantly pressure the company's finances.
