Donlin Gold LLC Overview
Pro stress-test →Donlin Gold LLC has proposed a large, undeveloped, open pit, hardrock gold mine located approximately 10 miles north of Crooked Creek, Alaska, in southwest Alaska. With Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of approximately 40 million ounces of gold and additional approximately six million ounces of Inferred Resources, Donlin Gold is one of the largest known development-stage gold deposits today. Donlin Gold, LLC is jointly owned by Barrick Gold US Inc. and NovaGold Resources Alaska, Inc.
Strategic Profile
Pro stress-test →The mine is estimated to produce approximately one million ounces of gold per year. In January 2026, Donlin Gold signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Glenfarne Alaska LNG, LLC for natural gas supply to power the proposed mine. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers obtained federal permits for the project in 2018 and is undertaking a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement in response to a remand order from the Federal District Court in Alaska on June 10, 2025.
Competitive Landscape
Pro stress-test →Donlin Gold competes in the global large-scale gold development/exploration market. Key competitors include Barrick Gold (co-owner), Newmont Corporation, Agnico Eagle Mines, and other major producers developing or exploring large deposits. The project's main competitive advantages are its size (40M+ oz), high grade (2.22 g/t), US jurisdiction (Alaska), and established ownership partnership, though its remote location and development-stage status present execution risks versus operating mines.
