Canada-based project partners Novagold and Barrick Gold have reopened the Donlin camp, in Alaska, and are remobilising drilling rigs at project, following a two-month hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Novagold reports that four drill rigs are turning at its 50%-owned Donlin project and says that most of the planned programme, aimed at confirming recent geological modelling concepts and testing potential extensions of high-grade zones, will be completed by year-end.
The 2020 drill programme consists of about 80 holes, totalling 22 000 m, centred on the ACMA and Lewis resource areas.
