<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the first quarter of 2024, with the support from the owners and the Donlin Gold LLC Board,
numerous important activities were conducted. These included, among others, completing the scope of work for resource modelling by a third-party
consultant to update the resource model; advancing the metallurgical test work with a pilot plant in Ontario, Canada, to confirm proposed
optimizations to the flowsheet, which are expected to conclude later in the year; continuing to plan the regional infrastructure support
to streamline the scope of work and identify the optimal path forward; and integrating recent field data in geoscience hydrology to update
the groundwater and surface water models, alongside continuous data collection to update source characteristics for closure planning.
In addition, an extensive amount of outreach efforts took place in Alaska, in the Y-K region, and in Washington D.C. to support community
engagement and permitting efforts that help reinforce our social license. The diligent and highly effective work by the Donlin Gold team,
our partners and broader stakeholders are greatly appreciated.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NOVAGOLD remains committed to employing a concerted and inclusive approach to advancing the
Donlin Gold project, consistent with our pledges to &mdash; and for the benefit of &mdash; all shareholders and stakeholders, and especially
to fulfilling the strategy that has been pledged time and again by NOVAGOLD: namely, to commence a full bankable Feasibility Study to
optimally position the project, setting up a potential positive construction decision when the time is right.</P>

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt">Our dedication to the Company&rsquo;s partnerships with Calista and TKC throughout Donlin Gold&rsquo;s
project development and permitting processes has been strengthened by decades of steadfast and reliable engagement with the 62 stakeholder
communities. The Donlin Gold project is located on private land that is designated by law for mining activities, under the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971. The Native Corporations have thus been instrumental in facilitating comprehensive local stakeholder
outreach across the Y-K region, as well as government engagement efforts in the broader reaches of Alaska and Washington, D.C.</P>

existing long-term relationships, and addressing specific community needs. Furthermore, in partnership with Calista and TKC, Donlin Gold
held the first informational meeting for the Subsistence Communications Advisory Committee (&ldquo;SCAC&rdquo;) in Anchorage this past
quarter. All attendees, who hold varying perspectives on the Donlin Gold project, completed an application to join the SCAC. Central to
the partnership between Donlin Gold, Calista and TKC, the SCAC was established to maintain a well-defined process for communications,
dialogue, problem-solving, and seeking the views of the broader community regarding subsistence matters.</P>

and cultural preservation initiatives, and various grants. In collaboration with Calista and TKC, a broad range of activities and projects
were undertaken in the last quarter.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Since mid-2023, NOVAGOLD, Donlin Gold and its Alaska Native Corporation partners have closely
monitored and assessed the conditions and management of salmon fisheries in the Kuskokwim and Yukon River watersheds. In the first quarter
of 2024, efforts with local tribes were focused on identifying specific potential project opportunities to monitor, evaluate, and enhance
the health of salmon populations. The projects to be supported will be finalized in early 2024, with plans for implementation beginning
in the spring/summer of that year. All such initiatives will be pursued in collaboration and partnership with the people of the Y-K region.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Both NOVAGOLD and Donlin Gold are committed to advancing educational opportunities in Alaska
and actively promote learning through collaborative efforts, including by sponsoring the Lower Kuskokwim School District&rsquo;s annual
college and career fair. Donlin Gold also maintains its dedication to local community sports initiatives and youth groups, as exemplified
by its support of events such as the Donlin Gold Basketball Tournament held at Bethel Regional High School in Bethel, Alaska. Donlin Gold
also provided an annual contribution to the Rural Alaska Honors Institute, a program running through the University of Alaska Fairbanks
which prepares Alaska Native high-school students for college life.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Donlin Gold proudly continues to fund and support The Kuskokwim 300, a premier mid-distance
dog sled race covering a challenging 300-mile trail from Bethel to Aniak and back. Additionally, Donlin Gold sponsors Y-K mushers Isaac
Underwood, Mike Williams Jr., and 2019 Iditarod champion and Donlin Gold employee Pete Kaiser, winner of his eighth title in the Kuskokwim
300 &mdash; who hails from Bethel and is the first Yupik musher ever and the fifth Alaska Native to win an Iditarod championship. Mr.
Kaiser actively engages with youth in the community, focusing on suicide prevention in alignment with Donlin Gold&rsquo;s commitment to
strengthening vital community well-being initiatives. Furthermore, last February, Donlin Gold was a sponsor of the Iron Dog, the world&rsquo;s
longest and toughest snowmobile race that covers 2,500 miles of Alaskan backcountry, in which Kristina Woolston, Donlin Gold&rsquo;s External
Affairs Manager, participated. Other cultural preservation initiatives include supporting the Native Village of Kalskag&rsquo;s annual
Cauneq Camp as well as partnering with Carry the Cure to bring suicide prevention programs to Toksook Bay, Nightmute, Tununak, and Kasigluk.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Donlin Gold extended support to several search and rescue teams in the region, including the
Chevak and Kipnuk Traditional Councils and Bethel Search and Rescue. Financial assistance was also provided to Camp Fire Alaska, an organization
dedicated to offering summer camps and programs to rural communities across Alaska with various activities, including music, sports, science,
field trips, and ample outdoor recreation opportunities. In February 2024, Donlin Gold continued its sponsorship of local radio stations
in Alaska, which play a crucial role in delivering weather updates and safety messages to rural communities where internet connectivity
is limited. Furthermore, Donlin Gold pursued its support of and active involvement in the Alaska Safe Riders initiative, which focuses
on promoting safety for snowmachines, all-terrain vehicles, and recreational off-road vehicles.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Meaningful collaboration was also fostered with the Native Village of Napaimute, with Donlin

winter infrastructure that provides for the safe transport of residents to sport and cultural events, as well as a crucial conduit of

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Despite multiple challenges, all appeals against Donlin Gold permits have been unsuccessful
to date. We recognize the importance of preparedness and organization in these matters. Permitting in the United States and Alaska constitutes
a significant and rigorous endeavor, where success relies on years of dedicated efforts to ensure a diligent, thorough, transparent, and
inclusive process engaging all stakeholders, including those from the Y-K region. Donlin Gold, along with its owners and partners Calista
and TKC, possesses an intimate understanding of the project&rsquo;s permitting and regulatory procedures. We remain committed to supporting
Federal and State agencies in defending the rigorous permitting process and focused on securing the remaining state-level permits and
certificates required for the project.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">We recognize that there is a price to be paid for jurisdictional safety. There are an increasing
number of places in the world where permitting is becoming less burdened by the rule of law. The flipside of that relative ease is that
these locales are also much less reliable politically or socially than Alaska, the second largest gold producing state in one of the world&rsquo;s
safest countries for free enterprise. We treasure the conviction that, if the mine is built, our investors would be able to enjoy the
luxury of knowing that Alaska is a place where they can sleep well at night &mdash; confident that when they awaken in the morning, they
would still own what they owned the night before. In an ever more complex and fraught world, this sober reasoning makes it well worth
the effort.</P>

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the first quarter of 2024, Donlin Gold continued to advance the Dam Safety Certification

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt">NOVAGOLD&rsquo;s unwavering commitment to advancing Donlin Gold is reflected in our stance regarding
next steps for the project, as well as in the increased investments and expanded partnerships with communities in the Y-K region that

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt">Donlin Gold is indeed the rarest of the rare: an exceptional gold development project, boasting
approximately 39 million ounces of gold with a grade of 2.24 grams per tonne in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (100% basis),
inclusive of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. With a grade that is twice the gold industry average, Donlin Gold thus has the potential
to be a low-cost, open-pit, million-ounce producer for decades. Superimposed onto this is the blue sky of the excellent exploration opportunities
that extend well beyond the current resource area &mdash; <I>3km of an 8km belt that in itself represents but five percent of our total
land package</I>.</P>

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">With the multiple tailwinds of the macro backdrop, as well as the project&rsquo;s sheer size,
quality, low-cost structure, and that simply outstanding exploration upside, we aim to solidify Donlin&rsquo;s status as what we believe
to be the best gold development story in the world today. As a characteristic &ldquo;Tier 1 Asset&rdquo; in a world-leading, Tier 1 jurisdiction<SUP>2</SUP>,
we believe that Donlin truly epitomizes a great asset that gives one great leverage in a great place that will allow one to keep the fruits
of that leverage.</P>

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt">Of signal importance, NOVAGOLD has been blessed with long-term and supportive shareholders whose

continued solidarity and engagement. We reaffirm to each and every one of them that, as stewards of the Company, we continue to be focused
on delivering on our strategy and enhancing the value of the Donlin Gold project, increasing both shareholder and stakeholder wealth in

due to lower costs at Donlin Gold and increased interest income, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on the promissory
note and higher general and administrative costs. In the prior first quarter of 2023, Donlin Gold costs included geotechnical drilling
for the Alaska Dam Safety Certificates. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to corporate staff additions, including
the hiring of a new General Counsel.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NOVAGOLD is a well-financed precious metals company focused on the development of its 50%-owned
Donlin Gold project in Alaska, one of the safest mining jurisdictions in the world. With approximately 39 million ounces of gold in the
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource categories, inclusive of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves (541 million tonnes at an average
grade of approximately 2.24 grams per tonne, in the Measured and Indicated Resource categories on a 100% basis) <SUP>3</SUP> , the Donlin
Gold project is regarded to be one of the largest, highest-grade, and most prospective known open-pit gold deposits in the world. According
to the 2021 Technical Report and the S-K 1300 Report (both as defined below), once in production, the Donlin Gold project is expected
to produce an average of more than one million ounces per year over a 27-year mine life on a 100% basis. The Donlin Gold project has substantial
exploration potential beyond the designed footprint of the open pit which currently covers three kilometers of an approximately eight-kilometer-long
gold-bearing trend. Current activities at the Donlin Gold project are focused on state permitting, engineering studies, community outreach,
and workforce development in preparation for the eventual construction and operation of this project. With a strong balance sheet, NOVAGOLD
is well-positioned to fund its share of permitting and advancement efforts at the Donlin Gold project.</P>
