Exhibit (a)(5)(QQ)

You’ve heard NovaGold’s stories.

Now consider the facts.

Eleven other companies considered the facts...and took a pass.

Consider your choice next Tuesday, Nov. 21:

Barrick’s US$16 best and final cash offer or substantial project risk and significant share dilution.

Delays at Galore Creek

Galore Creek will not be permitted in the second quarter of 2007 as NovaGold suggests. Satisfaction of complex regulatory requirements and resolution of ongoing litigation will not be completed until 2008 or beyond. This will push the start of the Galore Creek revenue stream further into the future. And the independent feasibility study shows that the project’s economics have significantly deteriorated.

Dispute over Donlin Creek Ownership

Barrick will deliver the required Feasibility Study by November 2007. Permits do not have to be obtained as part of the Feasibility Study. NovaGold’s CFO has acknowledged this under oath in court in Alaska. Barrick expects to earn its 70% interest in Donlin Creek.

Significant Dilution

Donlin Creek and Galore Creek require a capital investment of US$3.5 billion. Even if NovaGold is able to raise this capital, it will likely require the sale of a major stake in Galore Creek, significant equity dilution and substantial hedging of gold and copper.

Barrick’s Best and Final Offer Delivers Value

Barrick’s valuation of NovaGold is full and fair. Barrick has offered a multiple over NovaGold’s net asset value that is comparable to the multiple paid for senior gold producing companies. Barrick’s offer has been supporting NovaGold’s share price. If NovaGold’s shares were trading in line with the XAU gold index in the absence of our offer, the stock would be trading in the US$12 range.

...And Barrick’s Evaluation Does Not Stand Alone

Eleven world-class mining companies were given access to all the facts in NovaGold’s data room and not one of them was prepared to compete with Barrick’s prior offer of US$14.50 per share. Those eleven companies did not buy NovaGold’s story and neither does Barrick. Barrick does not
