Alaska Superior Court affirms water quality certification for Novagold's Donlin Gold project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Court denied appeal by ONC/Earthjustice, upheld ADEC's 401 certification issued Aug 18, 2023.
- Decision concludes ADEC had reasonable basis that Donlin Gold would meet Alaska water quality standards.
- Oral arguments held Aug 30, 2024; briefing complete; decision issued May 6, 2025.
- This removes a key legal challenge to the Donlin Gold project permitting.
