Joint partners in the Donlin gold project, Barrick and Novagold, on Thursday announced the first set of results from this year’s drill programme, with Barrick CEO Mark Bristow saying that the newly obtained data underscored the project’s “significant potential”.
The 2020 drilling programme is the largest campaign at Donlin, in Alaska, since 2008, and aims to validate the recent geological and resource modelling controls that the partners developed.
