(“NOVAGOLD” or the “Company”) (NYSE American, TSX: NG) is pleased to announce the detailed voting results on the items of business considered at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 14, 2026 (the “Meeting”). All proposals were approved and all director nominees were elected. A total of 326,713,666 or 74.45% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares were represented at the Meeting.

U.S. natural gas futures fell, with oil markets continuing to sell off on peace deal hopes and domestic weather-driven demand seen light for the next couple of weeks.

NovaGold offers significant leverage to gold via its 60% stake in the Donlin project, one of the world's largest, highest-grade undeveloped gold assets. NG trades at roughly 25 cents on the dollar of spot NPV, below the $10/share price paid by institutional investors in a recent $310 million placement. Permitting is largely complete, with state and federal approvals secured; the next major catalyst is the bankable feasibility study expected in early 2027.
