⛏️ Did You Know? – What Happens to Drill Core After it is Collected

🪨Collecting drill core is just the beginning.

Once core samples are recovered from below surface, they undergo a detailed review process that helps geologists better understand deposits like Donlin Gold.

The process includes:
📸 Photography and documentation — each core sample is carefully recorded to preserve important geological information.
🪨 Geological logging — geologists examine the rock’s characteristics, including rock type, structure, alteration, and mineralization.
🔬 Laboratory analysis — selected samples are tested to determine gold content and other important geological characteristics.
💻 Data interpretation — results from drilling and analysis are combined to help build a more complete understanding of the deposit.

Every meter of drill core provides valuable information about the rocks beneath the surface and the geological processes that shaped the region over millions of years.

Behind every discovery is a foundation built on science, data, and analysis. 🌎

Behind the Donlin Gold Project: What is Drill Core?

Ever wonder how geologists learn what lies beneath the Earth's surface?

One of the most important tools in mineral exploration is drill core—a cylindrical sample of rock collected from deep underground using specialized drilling equipment.

At the Donlin Gold project, drill core provides geologists with valuable information about the rocks that host the deposit, helping them understand:

🪨 Rock types and geology — identifying the different formations and structures beneath the surface
🔍 Mineralization — understanding where gold and other minerals occur within the rock
📊 Geological characteristics — building detailed models of the deposit and how it formed
🔬 Laboratory analysis — measuring gold content and other important characteristics through careful testing

Each core sample is carefully logged, photographed, and analyzed. Geologists examine features such as rock texture, structure, alteration, and mineral content to help build a more complete picture of the Donlin Gold deposit.

Drill core is more than a piece of rock—it is a record of the geological processes that shaped the region over millions of years. 🌎

Stay tuned as we explore more of the science and technology behind the Donlin Gold project.

A recent Kitco News interview with Jeremy Szafron featuring Dr. Thomas S. Kaplan is now available on the NOVAGOLD website. 🎥

In this wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Kaplan shares his long-cycle insights on gold and silver — why conviction, patience, and jurisdictional security matter more than short-term market noise, and why he focuses only on assets he considers truly irreplaceable.

Dr. Kaplan also reflects on decades-long holds like NOVAGOLD, and how applied history shapes his view of commodity cycles.

⛏️ Did You Know?

The Donlin Gold deposit began forming nearly 70 million years ago, during a period of intense geological activity in southwest Alaska.
As mountains formed and the Earth's crust shifted, networks of cracks and faults developed deep underground. Hot, mineral-rich fluids rose through these fractures, carrying dissolved gold and other minerals. As the fluids cooled and reacted with the surrounding rocks, tiny particles of gold were deposited throughout broad zones and intricate vein networks.

Over millions of years, erosion gradually exposed these gold-bearing rocks closer to the surface, allowing geologists to discover and study the deposit.

Today, the Donlin Gold deposit is recognized as one of the world's largest known undeveloped gold resources. Its formation is the result of a remarkable combination of tectonic forces, volcanic activity, hydrothermal processes, and the passage of geologic time.

🌎 Every rock tells a story—and at Donlin Gold, that story began millions of years before humans ever walked the Earth.
