NovaGold Resources stock was last at USD 6.62 on NYSE American on October 6, 2026, while the company prepared shareholders for a vote that could lift its Donlin Gold ownership from 60 percent to 100 percent. GlobeNewswire reported on October 5, 2026, that NovaGold had filed and begun mailing its circular and proxy statement for the proposed transaction.

Donlin ownership reaches 100 percent

The arrangement would give a new NovaGold parent the remaining 40 percent Donlin Gold interest held by Paulson Advisers and its affiliates. Existing NovaGold shareholders would receive one New NovaGold voting share for each share held, subject to the arrangement's conditions.

The special meeting is scheduled for November 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Vancouver time, and the proxy deadline is October 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Vancouver time, according to GlobeNewswire.

Analysts see room above USD 6.62

The market capitalization stood at USD 2.9 billion on October 6, 2026, and the 52-week range was USD 5.08 to USD 14.40. The stock was therefore USD 7.78 below its 52-week high, a 54.03 percent gap based on the USD 6.62 last price.

MarketBeat reported on October 2, 2026, that nine analysts covered NovaGold with a consensus Buy rating and an average price target of USD 12.42. That target lies 87.61 percent above the USD 6.62 price, making the approval process a key valuation checkpoint rather than a routine corporate date.

Project scale drives the transaction

NovaGold describes Donlin Gold as a Tier One gold development project in Alaska. The company said the proposed structure would add roughly 16 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Resources to the parent and increase projected attributable production by more than 520,000 ounces annually during the first 10 full production years.

The strategic case rests on control and structure: a single parent would hold 100 percent of Donlin Gold, while shareholders would vote on the arrangement before the proposed new company becomes the listed parent. Completion remains subject to shareholder, court, regulatory and stock exchange approvals, so the November 3 vote is the immediate test for the transaction.
