NovaGold Resources Inc. (TSX:NG)(NYSE Amex:NG) invites investors and community stakeholders to visit the Company's new website at


The new website design is more interactive, with interviews and webcasts, a calendar of upcoming events, project highlights, an expanded responsible mining section, an opportunity to meet the NovaGold team, and NovaGold news releases and corporate and financial reports. The Ask the CEO section provides answers to the most common questions and you can submit a question for NovaGold's President & CEO, Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse. All questions will be answered and the most common and perceptive questions will be added to the website. Of course, what other people are saying about the Company can often be just as informative as what we're saying about ourselves, so we've included media coverage about NovaGold and interviews with our senior team. And to put it all in context, an industry news section offers insight into industry and global economic factors that may have an influence on NovaGold.


NovaGold's new Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages communicate this information in a more informal fashion, and the Corporate Blog offers deeper insight into news and events that affect NovaGold and the mining industry. We hope that our retail investors and community partners will visit these sites and post their comments and questions, allowing us the opportunity to engage with the individuals that are so crucial to NovaGold's success. Our intention is to give stakeholders a venue to communicate with the NovaGold team. We will listen to your questions and comments and consider your suggestions as we continue to advance our projects and expand our sustainability programs.


"Social media gives us an exciting opportunity to provide new forums for investor and stakeholder engagement," said Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse. "NovaGold is committed to open, two-way communication, and we hope our investors and community partners will take this opportunity to engage with the Company and provide their feedback and questions. On behalf of the NovaGold team, I extend my thanks to our investors and partners for their loyalty and support, and we look forward to a prosperous New Year."
