Novagold Resources New ( (TSE:NG) ) just unveiled an update.

Novagold Resources has upsized its previously announced bought deal private placement to 30 million common shares at US$10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of about US$300 million, anchored by a US$140 million cornerstone order from a leading European institution and supported by an over-allotment option that could lift total proceeds to roughly US$345 million. The company plans to use the funds to advance activities at its flagship Donlin Gold project in Alaska, settle a favorable prepayment option on a sizeable promissory note with Barrick Mining Corporation, and for general corporate purposes, a capital move that strengthens its balance sheet and supports further de-risking and development of one of the world’s largest undeveloped open-pit gold assets.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:NG) stock is a Hold with a C$13.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Novagold Resources New stock, see the TSE:NG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:NG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:NG is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, widening losses, and continued cash burn), partially offset by a stronger TTM balance sheet and generally constructive project progress and permitting momentum. Technicals are neutral-to-mixed, and valuation support is limited due to ongoing losses and no dividend yield provided.
