<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement.&#xa0; The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 45pt;text-indent:-45pt;"><i>Level 1</i> &#x2014; Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Company&#x2019;s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable, receivable from Donlin Gold, marketable equity securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a promissory note. The fair value of the promissory note approximates its carrying value based on accrued interest at U.S. prime plus <ix:nonFraction id="c596" contextRef="d_2022-12-01_2023-05-31_LineOfCreditFacilityAxis-BarrickMember_LongtermDebtTypeAxis-NotesPayableOtherPayablesMember_VariableRateAxis-PrimeRateMember" unitRef="Pure" name="us-gaap:DebtInstrumentBasisSpreadOnVariableRate1" scale="-2" format="ixt:numdotdecimal" decimals="2">2</ix:nonFraction>% and the terms for repayment from future mine production or from any net proceeds resulting from a reduction of the Company&#x2019;s interest in Donlin Gold. The fair value of the Company&#x2019;s other financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short&#x2010;term nature of their maturity. The Company&#x2019;s financial instruments initially measured at fair value and then held at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable, receivable from Donlin Gold, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a promissory note. The Company&#x2019;s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities was $<ix:nonFraction id="c597" contextRef="i_2023-05-31" unitRef="USD" name="us-gaap:EquitySecuritiesFvNi" scale="3" format="ixt:numdotdecimal" decimals="-3">2,209</ix:nonFraction> as of May 31, 2023 ($<ix:nonFraction id="c598" contextRef="i_2022-11-30" unitRef="USD" name="us-gaap:EquitySecuritiesFvNi" scale="3" format="ixt:numdotdecimal" decimals="-3">1,845</ix:nonFraction> as of November 30, 2022), calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b>Overview</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">We operate in the gold mining industry, primarily focused on advancing the Donlin Gold project in Alaska. The Donlin Gold project is held by Donlin Gold LLC (&#x201c;Donlin Gold&#x201d;), a limited liability company owned equally by wholly-owned subsidiaries of NOVAGOLD and Barrick.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Our corporate goals include continuing to advance the Donlin Gold project toward a construction decision; maintaining support for Donlin Gold among the project&#x2019;s stakeholders; promoting a strong safety, sustainability, and environmental culture; maintaining a favorable reputation of NOVAGOLD; and preserving a healthy balance sheet. Our operations primarily relate to the delivery of project milestones, including the achievement of various technical, environmental, sustainable development, economic and legal objectives, obtaining necessary permits, completion of pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, preparation of engineering designs and the financing to fund these objectives.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b>Donlin Gold highlights</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Stakeholder and government engagement</i></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Donlin Gold is fortunate to have time-tested partnerships with Calista Corporation (&#x201c;Calista&#x201d;) and The Kuskokwim Corporation (TKC), owners of the mineral and surface rights, respectively. The project&#x2019;s location on private lands specially selected for mineral development potential pursuant to the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act is a key attribute that distinguishes it from most other mining assets in Alaska. Donlin Gold&#x2019;s commitment to meaningful tribal engagement throughout project development and permitting has been reinforced by decades of reliable and dependable engagement with the community.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt -1pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">Donlin Gold continues to work with Calista and TKC in all aspects of outreach and engagement throughout the Yukon-Kuskokwim (&#x201c;Y-K&#x201d;) region. In the second quarter, Donlin Gold signed additional Shared Values Statements with two villages in the Y-K region bringing the total to 14, which formalize current engagement with key local communities, expand upon the long term relationships already established with them, and address specific community needs including: water, sewer, and solid waste projects; the ice road that connects remote villages in the Y-K region; salmon and other aquatic life studies; and suicide and public safety prevention programs.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Donlin Gold was recognized as a leader in the Y-K region for providing support to Crooked Creek, the village closest to the project site, following major spring flooding of their village. Donlin Gold staff were on-site providing support, supplies, transportation and comfort to those affected by the flood. The staff were able to fly over the river to take pictures and provide them to the State, which ultimately prompted the declaration of a state of emergency.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">In partnership with Calista and TKC, Donlin Gold held the first informational Subsistence Communications Advisory Committee (SCAC) meeting in Aniak during the second quarter. All attendees, who have varying perspectives on the Donlin Gold project, completed an application to join the SCAC.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">During the second quarter, visits were made to Washington, DC for continued bipartisan outreach to the Biden Administration and U.S. Congress, including Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan and Representative Mary Peltola from the Y-K region. In early March, TKC, Calista, and Crooked Creek held a tribal consultation meeting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (&#x201c;Corps&#x201d;) Alaska District leadership to emphasize the benefits of the project, as well as the strengths and transparency of the NEPA review and federal permitting process undertaken for the project. In early May, the village of Crooked Creek Traditional Council, which recently re-affirmed its support for the project, accompanied Calista and Donlin Gold in visits with Administration and Congressional staff. In all these meetings, Calista, Donlin Gold, and now Crooked Creek have highlighted the thoroughness of the project&#x2019;s environmental review and permitting processes, as well as the partnerships with Native Alaskans that own the land.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Environmental stewardship, education, community wellness, and cultural preservation constitute key focus investments for Donlin Gold in the Y-K region. The Donlin Gold project supports these initiatives through fisheries studies and other environmental activities, subsistence and cultural preservation efforts, and educational grants. A wide range of activities and projects were carried out in the second quarter with Calista and TKC.</p>

Since the start of the year, space was successfully leased from Bethel Winter House where they recently held their grand opening to provide young adults aged 18 to 24 with shelter and food.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Permitting in the United States and in Alaska has been a tremendous achievement to date and a substantial undertaking over many years to ensure a diligent, thorough, transparent, and inclusive process for all involved, including stakeholders from the Y-K region. Donlin Gold, its owners, and its partners Calista and TKC are intimately familiar with the permitting and regulatory processes applicable to the project and will continue to support the State in its defense of the thorough and diligent permitting process. Together, they will also continue working to secure the various remaining state-level permits and certificates required for the project.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">On June 3, 2020, Earthjustice joined by Orutsararmiut Native Council (ONC), ten Y-K villages, and the Alaska Community Action on Toxics filed a formal appeal with the ADEC Commissioner of the State&#x2019;s water quality certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The appeal process consisted of an Administrative Hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) appointed by the ADEC Commissioner. On April 12, 2021, the ALJ issued his opinion for the Commissioner&#x2019;s consideration recommending the 401 Certification be vacated. The Commissioner issued his decision to uphold the 401 Certification on May 27, 2021. The decision was appealed on June 28, 2021, in Alaska Superior Court by Earthjustice, on behalf of ONC. On September 27, 2021, Donlin Gold filed a motion requesting a short term stay in the case to allow the State to fully consider additional technical materials on mercury and temperature; the State indicated to the Court that they did&#xa0;not oppose the motion. On October 22, 2021, Donlin Gold submitted to ADEC expert technical reports on mercury and temperature. On November 22, 2021, ADEC filed an additional motion asking to remand the 401 certification back to ADEC to determine how the additional information affects the certification. Earthjustice did not oppose the motion although had comments on the remand process. On December 29, 2021, the Court granted the remand request, dismissed the case without prejudice, and left in place existing certification. On May 13, 2022, the ADEC Water Division Director reaffirmed the 401 certification. On June 13, 2022, Earthjustice appealed the elements of the decision related to temperature to the Commissioner and requested an adjudicatory hearing with an ALJ. On July 14, 2022, the Commissioner granted the request for the hearing and a new ALJ was assigned. On September 14, 2022, Earthjustice filed their initial brief. Donlin Gold and ADEC filed response briefs on October 14, 2022. Earthjustice filed their final reply brief on October 21, 2022. The Commissioner&#x2019;s decision, which he will make in collaboration with the ALJ, is expected in the third quarter of 2023.</p>

An appeal was also filed by a second party, Robert Fithian, the owner of an outdoor guiding business located near the proposed Donlin Gold pipeline route, on September 20, 2021. On April 5, 2022, Earthjustice filed its opening brief, which related to the scope of the cumulative effects analysis required by the Alaska Constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions, and related previous litigation. Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR), Donlin Gold, and Calista filed response briefs on June 15-16, 2022. Earthjustice filed its reply on July 18, 2022, and requested oral arguments. The second appellant filed his initial brief on June 8, 2022. ADNR&#x2019;s and Donlin Gold&#x2019;s response briefs were submitted on August 22, 2022, and the second appellant filed their reply brief on November 9, 2022. The request for oral arguments was granted by the Court and they were held on January 11, 2023. On April 12, 2023, the Alaska Superior Court affirmed ADNR&#x2019;s issuance of the ROW lease in the Earthjustice/ONC case. This decision has been appealed by Earthjustice to the Alaska Supreme Court. We anticipate an Alaska Superior Court decision on the Fithian case by the end of 2023.</p>

Additionally, in September 2022, the same tribes submitted a separate letter to the EPA requesting that they initiate a Clean Water Act Section 404(c) veto process for the Donlin Gold project. In early January 2023, Donlin Gold and Calista both submitted responses to the Corps on why the requests to prepare a supplemental EIS or revoke the 404 permit should not be granted. In mid-January 2023, Donlin Gold also provided a response to the EPA describing why the agency should not initiate a 404(c) process.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The 2023 field program at the Donlin Gold project is anticipated to be completed in July. The Donlin Gold project camp workforce has safely advanced site activities. Local hire has always been a priority for Donlin Gold with 63% of the workforce being from the Y-K. The work completed to date includes fieldwork and geotechnical drilling for the Alaska Dam Safety certificates by collecting data in the locations of the water retention structures planned for construction (including proposed Tailings Storage Facility); and hydrological drilling to further define the depth and flow of groundwater in the areas of the planned Donlin Gold pit and surrounding infrastructure to support mine planning and design.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Donlin Gold LLC board must approve a construction program and budget before the Donlin Gold project can be developed. The timing of the required engineering work and the Donlin Gold LLC board&#x2019;s approval of a construction program and budget, the receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals, and the availability of financing, commodity price fluctuations, risks related to market events and general economic conditions among other factors, will affect the timing of and whether to develop the Donlin Gold project. Among other reasons, project delays could occur as a result of co-owner disagreements, public opposition, litigation challenging permit decisions, requests for additional information or analysis, limitations in agency staff resources during regulatory review and permitting, or project changes made by Donlin Gold LLC.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">At present, we believe we have sufficient working capital available to cover anticipated funding of the Donlin Gold project and corporate general and administrative costs through completion of an updated Donlin Gold feasibility study. Further, we believe we have sufficient working capital available to cover anticipated costs and expenses for at least the next three years. Substantial additional capital will be required once a decision to commence engineering and construction is reached by the Donlin Gold LLC board for the Donlin Gold project. Future financing to fund construction are anticipated through debt, equity, project specific debt, and/or other means. Our continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing or to generate future cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital on terms favorable to us, or at all. For further information, see section <i>Item 1A, Risk Factors </i>&#x2013;<i> Our ability to continue the exploration, permitting, development, and construction of the Donlin Gold project, and to continue as a going concern, will depend in part on our ability to obtain suitable financing</i>.</p>

The decrease in cash used in operating activities in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to interest proceeds received on cash and term deposits in 2023, and the timing of corporate liability insurance payments and withholding tax paid on share-based compensation in 2022 (no PSUs vested in 2023). The increase in cash used in investing activities was due to proceeds from term deposits in 2022, partially offset by reduced funding of Donlin Gold and proceeds received from the sale of the Company&#x2019;s interest in the San Roque mineral property in 2023.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to our cash and cash equivalents, term deposit investments and notes receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held at three of the largest Canadian domestic chartered banks with high deposit credit ratings (S&amp;P: AA- or A-1(mid), Moody&#x2019;s: Aa1 or Aa3). All term deposits are held through two of the largest Canadian domestic chartered banks with high deposit credit ratings (S&amp;P: AA-, Moody&#x2019;s: Aa1) and have maturities of less than one year. The notes are receivable from a subsidiary of Newmont, a publicly traded company with investment-grade credit ratings. The notes are guaranteed by Newmont.</p>

Based on the amount owing on the promissory note as of May 31, 2023, and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 1% change in the U.S. prime rate would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $1.3 million in the interest accrued on the promissory note per annum.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">A portion of the proceeds related to the sale of Galore Creek to a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation (&#8220;Newmont&#8221;) includes a $75,000 note receivable, contingent upon the approval of a Galore Creek project construction plan by the owner(s). The Company has not assigned a value to the contingent note receivable as management determined that the approval of the Galore Creek project construction was not probable as of the closing of the Galore Creek sale or in subsequent periods. The contingent note will be recognized when, in management&#8217;s judgement, it is probable that the payment will occur, and that the amount recorded will not reverse in future periods.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Investments in unconsolidated ventures over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method and include the Company&#8217;s investment in the Donlin Gold project. The Company identified Donlin Gold as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) as the entity is dependent on funding from its owners. All funding, ownership, voting rights, and power to exercise control is shared equally on a 50/50 basis between the owners of the VIE. Therefore, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company&#8217;s maximum exposure to loss is its equity investment in Donlin Gold.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The equity method is a basis of accounting for investments whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying value is adjusted thereafter to include the investor&#8217;s pro rata share of post-acquisition earnings or losses of the investee, as computed by the consolidation method. Cash funding increases the carrying value of the investment. Profit distributions received or receivable from an investee reduce the carrying value of the investment.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Donlin Gold is a non-publicly traded equity investee owning an exploration and development project. Therefore, the Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of the equity investee for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the project. If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the investee and its fair value.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Company records share-based compensation awards exchanged for employee services at fair value on the date of the grant and expenses the awards in the Consolidated Statements of Loss over the requisite employee service period. The fair values of stock options are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of PSUs are determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company&#8217;s estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, estimates of forfeitures, the Company&#8217;s performance, and the Company&#8217;s performance in relation to its peers.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">On July 27, 2018, the Company sold its interest in the Galore Creek project to Newmont for cash proceeds of $100,000, a $75,000 note receivable due on the earlier of the completion of a Galore Creek pre-feasibility study or July 27, 2021, a $25,000 note receivable due on the earlier of the completion of a Galore Creek feasibility study or July 31, 2023, and a contingent note for $75,000 upon approval of a Galore Creek project construction plan by the owner(s). The Company received $75,000 from Newmont on July 27, 2021.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Company has a promissory note payable to Barrick of $129,841, comprised of $51,576 in principal, and $78,265 in accrued interest at U.S. prime plus 2%. The promissory note resulted from the agreement that led to the formation of Donlin Gold, where the Company agreed to reimburse Barrick for a portion of their expenditures incurred from April 1, 2006 to November 30, 2007. The promissory note and accrued interest are payable from 85% of the Company&#8217;s share of revenue from future mine production or from any net proceeds resulting from a reduction of the Company&#8217;s interest in Donlin Gold. The carrying value of the promissory note approximates fair value.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement.&#160; The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 45pt;text-indent:-45pt;"><i>Level 1</i> &#8212; Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 45pt;text-indent:-45pt;"><i>Level 2</i> &#8212; Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 45pt;text-indent:-45pt;"><i>Level 3</i> &#8212; Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Company&#8217;s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable, receivable from Donlin Gold, marketable equity securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a promissory note. The fair value of the promissory note approximates its carrying value based on accrued interest at U.S. prime plus 2% and the terms for repayment from future mine production or from any net proceeds resulting from a reduction of the Company&#8217;s interest in Donlin Gold. The fair value of the Company&#8217;s other financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short&#8208;term nature of their maturity. The Company&#8217;s financial instruments initially measured at fair value and then held at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable, receivable from Donlin Gold, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a promissory note. The Company&#8217;s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities was $2,209 as of May 31, 2023 ($1,845 as of November 30, 2022), calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.</p>

<td class="text">Investments in unconsolidated ventures over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method and include the Company&#8217;s investment in the Donlin Gold project. The Company identified Donlin Gold as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) as the entity is dependent on funding from its owners. All funding, ownership, voting rights, and power to exercise control is shared equally on a 50/50 basis between the owners of the VIE. Therefore, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company&#8217;s maximum exposure to loss is its equity investment in Donlin Gold.The equity method is a basis of accounting for investments whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying value is adjusted thereafter to include the investor&#8217;s pro rata share of post-acquisition earnings or losses of the investee, as computed by the consolidation method. Cash funding increases the carrying value of the investment. Profit distributions received or receivable from an investee reduce the carrying value of the investment.Donlin Gold is a non-publicly traded equity investee owning an exploration and development project. Therefore, the Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of the equity investee for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the project. If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the investee and its fair value.<span></span>

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;NOVAGOLD RESOURCES INC. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, &#x201c;NOVAGOLD&#x201d; or the &#x201c;Company&#x201d;) operate in the mining industry, focused on the exploration for and development of gold mineral properties. The Company has &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c385"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt; realized revenues from its planned principal business purpose. The Company&#x2019;s principal asset is a 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project in Alaska, USA. The Donlin Gold project is owned and operated by Donlin Gold LLC (&#x201c;Donlin Gold&#x201d;), a limited liability company that is owned equally by wholly-owned subsidiaries of NOVAGOLD and Barrick Gold Corporation (&#x201c;Barrick&#x201d;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (&#x201c;interim statements&#x201d;) of NOVAGOLD are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with NOVAGOLD&#x2019;s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended November 30, 2022. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contingent note receivable&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;A portion of the proceeds related to the sale of Galore Creek to a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation (&#x201c;Newmont&#x201d;) includes a $75,000 note receivable, contingent upon the approval of a Galore Creek project construction plan by the owner(s). The Company has not assigned a value to the contingent note receivable as management determined that the approval of the Galore Creek project construction was not probable as of the closing of the Galore Creek sale or in subsequent periods. The contingent note will be recognized when, in management&#x2019;s judgement, it is probable that the payment will occur, and that the amount recorded will not reverse in future periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Investment in affiliates&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;Investments in unconsolidated ventures over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method and include the Company&#x2019;s investment in the Donlin Gold project. The Company identified Donlin Gold as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) as the entity is dependent on funding from its owners. All funding, ownership, voting rights, and power to exercise control is shared equally on a 50/50 basis between the owners of the VIE. Therefore, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company&#x2019;s maximum exposure to loss is its equity investment in Donlin Gold.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;The equity method is a basis of accounting for investments whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying value is adjusted thereafter to include the investor&#x2019;s pro rata share of post-acquisition earnings or losses of the investee, as computed by the consolidation method. Cash funding increases the carrying value of the investment. Profit distributions received or receivable from an investee reduce the carrying value of the investment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;Donlin Gold is a non-publicly traded equity investee owning an exploration and development project. Therefore, the Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of the equity investee for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the project. If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the investee and its fair value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Share-based payments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;The Company records share-based compensation awards exchanged for employee services at fair value on the date of the grant and expenses the awards in the Consolidated Statements of Loss over the requisite employee service period. The fair values of stock options are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of PSUs are determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company&#x2019;s estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, estimates of forfeitures, the Company&#x2019;s performance, and the Company&#x2019;s performance in relation to its peers.&lt;/p&gt;

The Company identified Donlin Gold as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) as the entity is dependent on funding from its owners. All funding, ownership, voting rights, and power to exercise control is shared equally on a 50/50 basis between the owners of the VIE. Therefore, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company&#x2019;s maximum exposure to loss is its equity investment in Donlin Gold.The equity method is a basis of accounting for investments whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying value is adjusted thereafter to include the investor&#x2019;s pro rata share of post-acquisition earnings or losses of the investee, as computed by the consolidation method. Cash funding increases the carrying value of the investment. Profit distributions received or receivable from an investee reduce the carrying value of the investment.Donlin Gold is a non-publicly traded equity investee owning an exploration and development project. Therefore, the Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of the equity investee for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the project. If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the investee and its fair value.</us-gaap:EquityMethodInvestmentsPolicy>

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;The Company has a promissory note payable to Barrick of $129,841, comprised of $51,576 in principal, and $78,265 in accrued interest at U.S. prime plus 2%. The promissory note resulted from the agreement that led to the formation of Donlin Gold, where the Company agreed to reimburse Barrick for a portion of their expenditures incurred from April 1, 2006 to November 30, 2007. The promissory note and accrued interest are payable from 85% of the Company&#x2019;s share of revenue from future mine production or from any net proceeds resulting from a reduction of the Company&#x2019;s interest in Donlin Gold. The carrying value of the promissory note approximates fair value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement.&#160; The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 45pt;text-indent:-45pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Level 1&lt;/i&gt; &#x2014; Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 45pt;text-indent:-45pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Level 2&lt;/i&gt; &#x2014; Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 45pt;text-indent:-45pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Level 3&lt;/i&gt; &#x2014; Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable, receivable from Donlin Gold, marketable equity securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a promissory note. The fair value of the promissory note approximates its carrying value based on accrued interest at U.S. prime plus 2% and the terms for repayment from future mine production or from any net proceeds resulting from a reduction of the Company&#x2019;s interest in Donlin Gold. The fair value of the Company&#x2019;s other financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short&#x2010;term nature of their maturity. The Company&#x2019;s financial instruments initially measured at fair value and then held at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable, receivable from Donlin Gold, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a promissory note. The Company&#x2019;s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities was $2,209 as of May 31, 2023 ($1,845 as of November 30, 2022), calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.&lt;/p&gt;
