The appointment of Endeavour and Macquarie is a clear de-risking step for Donlin Gold's financing pathway, making a Final Investment Decision more likely. Traders should monitor for the completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study and any subsequent financing announcements, which could act as further catalysts. The 100% consolidation also removes the overhang of a 40% partner with potentially different strategic priorities.
