Advisors' Opinion:

  The strategy, as described by McCanless, sounds a lot like that being pursued by gold miners. Remember, just a few months ago companies like Barrick Gold (ABX) were pledging to stop focusing solely on production and instead look at all-in costs and cash flow.

  The biggest challenge for NovaGold has been convincing its development partners to take action on its primary mining properties. The Donlin Gold project in Alaska is one of the largest known undeveloped gold deposits in the world, according to the company, but joint-venture partner Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX  ) said last year that the economics of the mine didn't justify further action on its part, and as the deep pocket in the venture, Barrick is in a far better position to invest capital on Donlin than NovaGold. Similarly, high production costs at NovaGold's Galore Creek joint venture with Teck Resources (NYSE: TCK  ) has led NovaGold to consider a sale of its 50% interest in the venture in order to raise capital and focus on Donlin.
