EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 6-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Form 6-K of NOVAGOLD RESOURCES INC. (the “Registrant”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 24, 2013 (the “Original Form 6-K”), is being filed to include an amended and restated version of the Registrant’s Management Information Circular (“MIC”) from the version previously attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Form 6-K. In addition, we are attaching as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment No. 1 an Addendum to the MIC, explaining the necessity for the amendment and restatement of the MIC.
Except as set forth above, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update the disclosures in the Original Form 6-K. The disclosures in this Amendment No. 1 do not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Form 6-K or MIC. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Registrant’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 6-K and subsequent to the MIC, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in those filings as well as in this Amendment No. 1.
