Alaska’s Donlin gold project – jointly owned by NovaGold and Barrick Gold – has received key state transport and energy infrastructure approvals, adding to a growing list of permitting approvals, including the jointly issued federal record of decision received in 2018.
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) has issued Donlin final right-of-way authorisation for the buried natural gas pipeline, the final authorisation of the easement, land leases, land use permits, and material site authorisations for the proposed transportation facilities, and easement for the fibre optic cable on state lands.
