President Gregory Lang added: “The prime focus of our ac - tivities this year is to undertake a 34,000-meter drill program with tight-spaced grid drilling as well as in-pit and ex-pit exploration; and to input the results from this drilling into the geologic modelling and inter - pretation work that is being used for updated resource models. In addition to the engineering studies being un - dertaken, this program will as a whole enable commencement of an updated feasibility study. The Donlin Gold to - tal 2022 expenditures are anticipated to be $60 million (of which NOVA - GOLD’s portion is 50 percent). The budget also supports the advance - ment of environmental activities, and finances community and external af - fairs efforts."
