<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 (&#8220;VIE&#8221;) 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;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;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;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;">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, 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;">&#160;</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 Donlin Gold toward a feasibility study and a subsequent construction decision; maintain a favorable reputation of NOVAGOLD and its Donlin Gold project among shareholders; promote strong community outreach and sustainability culture; maintain strong safety and environmental performance; and manage the Company treasury effectively and efficiently. 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 and maintaining those received in good standing, advancement to a feasibility study, preparation of engineering designs and the financing to fund these objectives.</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 the first quarter of 2025, Donlin Gold achieved a number of milestones. The 2025 field program commenced with camp opening in February, followed by the start of drilling in March after quarter end. A total of 15,000 meters of drilling is planned, primarily focused on grid drilling to further develop the modifying factors (which are considerations used to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves)&#160;and mine planning input parameters.</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 January, meaningful collaboration was deepened with the Native Village of Napaimute, with Donlin Gold extending financial assistance to maintain the Kuskokwim River Ice Road &#8211; a critical winter infrastructure that ensures the safe transport of residents to community events and serves as a conduit of economic activity for the Kuskokwim River communities. Additionally, Donlin Gold continued its support of and participation in the Alaska Safe Riders initiative, which promotes the secure use of snowmachines, all-terrain vehicles, and recreational off-road vehicles.&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Throughout the first quarter, Donlin Gold maintained its dedication to backing local community sports initiatives, exemplified by its sponsorship of the Donlin Gold Basketball Tournament held at the Bethel Regional High School, and Y-K mushers Isaac Underwood, Mike Williams Jr., and Pete Kaiser, the 2019 Iditarod champion and a Donlin Gold employee. Mr. Kaiser, who hails from Bethel, is the first Yup&#8217;ik musher and fifth Alaska Native to win an Iditarod championship.

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">On June 28, 2021, Earthjustice representing Orutsararmiut Native Council (&#8220;ONC&#8221;) filed an appeal of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (&#8220;ADEC&#8221;) Commissioner&#8217;s decision upholding the ADEC&#8217;s Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification in Alaska Superior Court. In December 2021, at the request of the State of Alaska and Donlin Gold, the Alaska Superior Court suspended the case and remanded it to ADEC to allow for consideration of additional technical materials on mercury and temperature. After an administrative process, the Commissioner reaffirmed ADEC&#8217;s issuance of the 401 Certification on August 18, 2023. The suspension of the previously filed Alaska Superior Court case was then lifted and Earthjustice filed its opening brief with the Alaska Superior Court in January 2024. Briefing is complete and oral arguments were held on August 30, 2024. A decision is anticipated from the Alaska Superior Court in 2025.&#160;</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;">On September 20, 2021, Earthjustice, representing ONC, Cook Inletkeeper, and three Y-K villages, filed an appeal of the State pipeline ROW authorization in Alaska Superior Court. On April 12, 2023, the Alaska Superior Court affirmed the Alaska Department of Natural Resources&#8217; (&#8220;ADNR&#8221;) issuance of the ROW lease in the Earthjustice case. Earthjustice appealed the Superior Court&#8217;s decision to the Alaska Supreme Court. On May 25, 2022, Earthjustice, representing ONC and five Y-K villages, filed an appeal of ADNR&#8217;s issuance of certain water rights permits to Donlin Gold in Alaska Superior Court. After briefing and oral argument, on September 1, 2023, the Alaska Superior Court affirmed ADNR&#8217;s decision on Donlin Gold&#8217;s water rights permits. On October 2, 2023, Earthjustice appealed the Superior Court&#8217;s decision to the Alaska Supreme Court. Earthjustice&#8217;s opening brief was submitted to the Alaska Supreme Court on January 4, 2024. Response briefs from the State of Alaska and Donlin Gold were completed in April 2024, and Earthjustice subsequently filed their reply brief in May 2024. Briefing on Earthjustice&#8217;s appeal of the Alaska Superior Court affirmation of ADNR&#8217;s issuance of the State pipeline ROW lease to the Alaska Supreme Court was completed in February 2024. Oral arguments for both the water rights permits and the State pipeline ROW were held November 12, 2024, and a decision is anticipated in 2025.&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">On April 5, 2023, Earthjustice representing ONC and six Y-K villages filed suit against the U.S. government in Anchorage Federal District Court (the &#8220;Federal District Court&#8221;) asking the Federal District Court to invalidate the Donlin Gold JROD, which included the Corps&#8217; issuance of the 404 permit and the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management&#8217;s issuance of the ROW lease for the portions of the pipeline on Federal lands. The U.S. Department of Justice (&#8220;DOJ&#8221;) is defending the issuance of the permits by those Federal agencies. The State of Alaska, Donlin Gold, and Calista were granted intervenor status in this case. The DOJ filed their brief supporting the issuance of the JROD and the sufficiency of the environmental analysis in the Final Environmental Impact Statement on April 2, 2024. Amicus briefs supporting the project were filed by the village of Crooked Creek and the Alaska federal Congressional delegation. Oral arguments were held on June 24, 2024, and the Federal District Court issued a decision on September 30, 2024. The decision rejected the plaintiffs&#8217; arguments on two of the three issues raised in the litigation but agreed with plaintiffs that the federal agencies took too narrow of a view in analyzing the impact of a theoretical release from the tailings storage facility. The Federal District Court requested supplemental briefing on the appropriate remedy for addressing this issue. On October 7, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a request for reconsideration on one of the issues on which the Federal District Court had ruled against the plaintiffs and, at DOJ&#8217;s request, the Federal District Court suspended the schedule for briefing on the appropriate remedy until after the Federal District Court ruled on plaintiffs&#8217; motion for reconsideration. On December 23, 2024, the Federal District Court denied plaintiffs&#8217; request for reconsideration. Remedy briefing was completed in March 2025 and oral argument on remedy has been scheduled for April 14, 2025. &#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Net loss decreased in the first quarter of 2025 by $1,202 from the comparative 2024 period, primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense and lower Donlin Gold expenditures. Donlin Gold expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were below the quarterly run rate based on our 2025 guidance as Donlin Gold site activities commenced in February 2025 with the kick-off of this year&#8217;s field program. Other than stock-based compensation expense, which declined by $1,426 in the first quarter of 2025, general and administrative costs during the quarter were in line with the comparative 2024 period.</p>

Additional capital may be required to complete an updated Donlin Gold feasibility study. Considerable additional capital will be required if a decision to commence engineering and construction is reached by Donlin Gold. Future financing to fund construction is anticipated through debt and equity offerings, project specific debt, and/or other means. Our continued operations, in the longer term, are dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing or to generate future cash flows. However, there is 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>&#8211;<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>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of February 28, 2025. On the basis of this review, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.</p>

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&#8217;s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended November 30, 2024. 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.</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;">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 subsequent periods.</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;"><b>Investment in affiliates</b></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;">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 (&#8220;VIE&#8221;) 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;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>





<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b>Share-based payments</b></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 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;">In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#8220;FASB&#8221;) issued Accounting Standards Update (&#8220;ASU&#8221;) 2023-07 &#8220;Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures&#8221;. ASU 2023-07 expands public entities&#8217; segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment&#8217;s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.</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;">In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09 &#8220;Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures&#8221;. ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective beginning with the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated financial statements.</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 a subsidiary of Newmont for cash proceeds of $100,000 upon closing, a $75,000 note due upon the earlier of the completion of a Galore Creek pre-feasibility study or July 27, 2021, a $25,000 note due upon the earlier of the completion of a Galore Creek feasibility study or July 27, 2023, and a contingent note for $75,000 due upon approval of a Galore Creek project construction plan by the owner(s). The Company received from Newmont $75,000 on July 27, 2021, and $25,000 on July 27, 2023.</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;">No value was assigned to the final $75,000 contingent note. The Company determined that Galore Creek project construction approval was not probable as of the closing of the Galore Creek sale. The Company&#8217;s assessment did not change as of February 28, 2025. 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 subsequent periods.</p>

(&#8220;Iconic&#8221;) for cash proceeds of C$250 upon closing, a C$750 note receivable due on November 1, 2022, and a C$1,000 note receivable due on November 1, 2023. On closing, the Company determined the fair value of the notes was <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c264">nil</span>. Iconic completed the C$750 note repayment due on November 1, 2022 in December 2022, and the C$1,000 ($743) note repayment due on November 1, 2023 was made in January 2024.</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 $155,087, comprised of $51,576 in principal, and $103,512 in accrued interest at U.S. <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c378">prime</span> plus 2%, compounded semi-annually. 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, including 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. <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c415">prime</span> 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 values of the Company&#8217;s other financial instruments approximate 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, including from Donlin Gold, 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 $2,520 as of February 28, 2025 ($3,387 as of November 30, 2024), 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;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 subsequent 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 (&#8220;VIE&#8221;) 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>

ASU 2023-07 expands public entities&#8217; segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment&#8217;s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.</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;">In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09 &#8220;Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures&#8221;. ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective beginning with the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated financial statements.</p>

&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. On December 1, 2024, NOVAGOLD (Bermuda) Alaska Limited, NOVAGOLD Resources (Bermuda) Limited and NOVAGOLD Argentina Inc. were amalgamated with NOVAGOLD.&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 principal asset is a 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project in Alaska, USA. The Company has &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c241"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt; realized revenues from its principal asset. 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, 2024. 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 subsequent 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 (&#x201c;VIE&#x201d;) 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;


&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;Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Updates to Reportable Segment Disclosures&lt;/i&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;In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#x201c;FASB&#x201d;) issued Accounting Standards Update (&#x201c;ASU&#x201d;) 2023-07 &#x201c;Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures&#x201d;. ASU 2023-07 expands public entities&#x2019; segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment&#x2019;s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company&#x2019;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted.

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.

&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 (&#x201c;VIE&#x201d;) 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;

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&#x2019;s assessment did not change as of February 28, 2025.

&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 $155,087, comprised of $51,576 in principal, and $103,512 in accrued interest at U.S. &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c378"&gt;prime&lt;/span&gt; plus 2%, compounded semi-annually. 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, including 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. &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c415"&gt;prime&lt;/span&gt; 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 values of the Company&#x2019;s other financial instruments approximate 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, including from Donlin Gold, 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 $2,520 as of February 28, 2025 ($3,387 as of November 30, 2024), calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.&lt;/p&gt;
