## Resource

Donlin Gold, Alaska’s biggest undeveloped gold deposit, is on the verge of a $10 billion construction decision—potentially reshaping the state’s energy and economy. If approved, the mine’s massive natural gas demand could make Alaska LNG more viable, even helping fund import infrastructure and lower energy bills. Beyond energy, it promises 750 jobs and $120 million in annual payroll for the Yukon-Kuskokwim region, with royalties flowing to Native communities via Calista Corporation. After decades of exploration and setbacks, NOVAGOLD and Paulson Advisers are now poised to turn a 1970s discovery into a game-changing economic engine—proof that patience pays off.
