Community Engagement

In collaboration with Calista and TKC, Donlin Gold actively engages stakeholders in the Y-K region and throughout Alaska. The project is on private land that was selected under ANCSA that sets it apart from most other mining assets in Alaska and significantly influences our outreach efforts. Over decades, Donlin Gold’s enduring partnerships with key stakeholders have been pivotal in fostering strong relationships and building trust with the 56 villages in the Y-K region.
Donlin Gold remains committed to fostering sustainable growth and shared prosperity for future generations by working closely with communities and Alaska Native Corporations. This collaborative approach includes identifying community needs and developing solutions together. In 2024, over 14,000 direct Donlin Gold remains committed to fostering sustainable growth and shared prosperity for future generations by working closely with Tribal communities and Alaska Native Corporations. engagements were conducted with key stakeholders, and Donlin Gold established three additional Shared Values Statements, bringing the total to 18. These formal statements reinforce Donlin Gold’s ongoing engagement with local communities and strengthens long-term relationships.
Engaging with Governments
Government authorities play a critical role as key stakeholders, with laws and regulations providing the framework for responsible mining practices. Stable regulations and transparent government processes empower NOVAGOLD to confidently navigate risks and make informed investment decisions. The presence of appropriate regulation, along with robust judicial and political institutions, helps enable us to develop operations that generate value for all stakeholders.
