With ownership consolidated by Novagold and Paulson Advisers, the project now aims to expand further, potentially uncovering another gold deposit that could amplify environmental threats. Local tribes and communities fiercely oppose the mine, warning of irreversible damage to sacred lands, waterways, and cultural survival. A landmark 2024 court ruling forced federal agencies to reassess catastrophic dam failure risks, revealing the tailings facility may be underbuilt and ill-equipped to handle waste from unprocessed ore. Compounding the danger, Donlin ignores seismic and weather extremes increasingly common in the region. Now, activists demand federal authorities fully incorporate this critical data into their mandated review—before more irreversible harm occurs.
