NovaGold (NG) Investigation:
Hagens Berman’s proprietary investigation focuses on whether NovaGold has misled investors about the viability of the company’s massive Donlin gold mining project, which it co-owns with Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD).
NovaGold’s management has touted the Donlin gold mining project as “not just a Tier 1 asset,” “not just a world-class asset,” but really “unique.”
But on Feb. 12, 2020, the company’s co-owner, Barrick, told investors it does not even include Donlin in its 10-year plan.
Then, on May 28, 2020, J. Capital Research published a scathing report alleging “NovaGold’s management team has systematically misled investors” about Donlin, “a deposit so remote and technologically challenging that the mine will never be built.” J. Capital criticizes NovaGold for using “custom metrics designed to deceive,” including claiming “the deposit will require $6.7 bln in capital, [when] the feasibility study clearly shows this number is $8 bln.” J. Capital also contends that the “[t]he proposed natural gas pipeline central to powering the project is dead on arrival.” The report quotes an engineer who worked on costing the pipeline as saying he “doesn’t know of any engineering company that has the experience to build such a complex pipeline.”
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether NovaGold misrepresented the cost and feasibility of the Donlin project” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
