The attached press release was issued in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Item Four - Summary of Material Change
On August 11, 2003, NovaGold Resources Inc. and SpectrumGold Inc. jointly announced that an agreement with a subsidiary of Rio Tinto plc and Anglo American plc has been signed to earn a 100% interest in the multi-million-ounce Galore Creek gold-silver-copper deposit in NW British Columbia. Planning is underway for an initial 6,000 foot Galore Creek exploration program. A joint conference call is scheduled for Wednesday, August 13, 2003 at 4:30 p.m. EST.
Item Five - Full Description of Material Change
NovaGold Resources Inc (TSX: NRI) through its new (43% owned) affiliate company, SpectrumGold Inc., has signed an agreement with QIT-Fer et Titane Inc. (a subsidiary of Rio Tinto plc), and Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Ltd (a subsidiary of Anglo American plc) to acquire a 100% interest in the Galore Creek gold-silver-copper deposit located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. The Galore Creek project is a world class mineralized system located approximately 75 kilometers northwest of Barrick Gold’s Eskay Creek gold-silver mine. The project lies west of the Cassiar Highway and 100 kilometers northeast of the tidewater port of Wrangell, Alaska.
Under the terms of the agreement, SpectrumGold has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the project by completing a pre-feasibility study and making payments to the parties totaling
US$20.3 million within a period of 8 years. Payments of US$0.3 million are required over the first three years of the option, with US$20 million to be paid over the subsequent 5 years. There will be no retained interests, royalties or back-in rights on the project.
The Galore Creek exploration team, including key members of the highly successful Donlin Creek Project, has begun a comprehensive geologic compilation effort on the property. An extensive exploration database has been collected from historic work carried out on the project from the early 1960’s through 1991. Galore Creek is one of the highest grade alkalic intrusive related gold-silver-copper deposits in British Columbia with bulk grades exceeding 1 g/t gold, 10 g/t silver and 1% copper.
An historic resource estimate completed in 1992 by Kennecott Exploration estimated a Measured and Indicated Resource of 243.2 million tonnes grading 0.45 g/t gold, 6.0 g/t silver and 0.75% copper, containing 3.6 million ounces of gold, 47 million ounces of silver, and 4.0 billion pounds of copper. This is a 1.73 g/t gold equivalent grade using US$325 per ounce of gold, US$5 per ounce silver, and US$0.75/lb copper. In addition an Inferred Resource was estimated to be 70.6 million tonnes grading 0.63 g/t gold, 6.0 g/t silver, and 0.59% copper (1.66 g/t gold equivalent) containing 1.4 million ounces of gold, 14 million ounces of silver, and 920 million pounds of copper. This estimate is based on nearly 500 drill holes totaling over 100,000 meters of core.
SpectrumGold’s due diligence review of the project suggests that Galore Creek is not a classic porphyry occurrence but rather a higher-grade alkalic intrusive-related deposit with the bulk of the mineralization associated with sulfide–rich replacement of favorable volcanic units. SpectrumGold believes that additional focused exploration has the potential to not only enhance the size of the known resource but to identify significantly higher-grade zones within the mineralized system.
SpectrumGold is initiating an on site exploration program focused on developing a new geologic model for the project through detailed re-logging of the existing core and an initial 6,000 foot program of confirmation drilling. A major drill campaign is anticipated for the 2004 field season to test new targets and confirm the geologic model.
In addition, the company believes that infrastructure developments within the region, including a planned 100 Megawatt hydroelectric facility at Forrest-Kerr Creek and several new potential road initiatives in British Columbia and Alaska, would contribute favorably to the economics of the project.
A detailed technical report documenting the historic exploration work on Galore Creek will be filed and available for review at www.sedar.com.
A joint NovaGold – SpectrumGold conference call and webcast to review developments at Galore Creek, Rock Creek, Donlin Creek and company financial results, will be held on Wednesday, August 13th, 2003 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time (1:30 PM Pacific). To participate in the conference call, please dial 416-695-6120 or toll free at 1-888-789-0089. Live audio of the conference call will be simultaneously broadcast via NovaGold’s website at www.novagold.net.

Joint News Release |  |
SpectrumGold Acquires 5 Million Ounce Gold-Silver-Copper Project
August 11th, 2003, Vancouver – NovaGold Resources Inc. and SpectrumGold Inc. Highlights
Exploration Program Launched on Multi-Million-Ounce Gold-Silver-Copper Project
NovaGold Resources Inc (TSX: NRI) through its new (43% owned) affiliate company, SpecrumGold Inc., has signed an agreement with QIT-Fer et Titane Inc.

A major drill campaign is anticipated for the 2004 field season to test new targets and confirm the geologic model.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, President and CEO, said: “Management believes that Galore Creek represents one of the best undeveloped resources in western Canada with 5 million ounces of gold, 60 million ounces of silver and 5 billion pounds of copper. Strategically we believe that the fundamentals for all three metals look very strong. We are encouraged by recent developments in the silver and copper markets and believe that in particular the global shortage of copper concentrate for smelters presents a significant opportunity. We feel the timing is right for all three metals.” In addition, the company believes that infrastructure developments within the region, including a planned 100 Megawatt hydroelectric facility at Forrest-Kerr Creek and several new potential road initiatives in British Columbia and Alaska, would contribute favorably to the economics of the project.
A detailed technical report documenting the historic exploration work on Galore Creek will be filed and available for review at www.sedar.com.
