REPEAT FROM SOURCE: Northern Dynasty: Update on Negotiations with EPA
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2025 / Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX:NDM)(NYSE American:NAK) ('Northern Dynasty' or the 'Company') and its 100%-owned U.S.-based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership ('Pebble Partnership' or 'PLP') announce that we are negotiating with the Environmental Protection Agency ('EPA') to explore a potential settlement. In the latest EPA court filing, dated July 3, 2025, the text includes "…agency officials were briefed on the litigation and have been actively considering the agency decisions. Agency officials remain open to reconsideration, and defendants and PLP are negotiating to explore a potential settlement. Those discussions have addressed a potential further submission from PLP that would inform any agency reconsideration. Defendants and PLP currently expect to reach agreement within the next two weeks about what that submission would entail…Accordingly, defendants and PLP respectfully request that the Court extend the abeyance for an additional 14 days, with a status report due on July 17, 2025…" 'We are pleased to be in discussions with the EPA, because we see this as the fastest path forward for withdrawal of the veto. They have asked for additional information to assist in finalizing that decision,' said Ron Thiessen, Northern Dynasty President and CEO. 'A decision to withdraw this egregious and unsubstantiated veto would help the U.S. to secure a domestic supply of metals like copper, which is critical for the economy because of its fundamental use in electrification, and rhenium, which is a key component in several military applications. It also provides the opportunity for significant economic benefits over generations in this region of Alaska, the state and the country and would be consistent with the stated pledge of this administration to remove impediments to permitting.' About Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. Northern Dynasty is a mineral exploration and development company based in Vancouver, Canada. Northern Dynasty's principal asset, owned through its wholly owned Alaska-based U.S. subsidiary, Pebble Limited Partnership, is a 100% interest in a contiguous block of 1,840 mineral claims in Southwest Alaska, including the Pebble deposit, located 200 miles from Anchorage and 125 miles from Bristol Bay. The Pebble Partnership is the proponent of the Pebble Project. For further details on Northern Dynasty and the Pebble Project, please visit the Company's website at or contact Investor services at (604) 684-6365 or within North America at 1-800-667-2114. Public filings, which include forward looking information cautionary language and risk factor disclosure regarding the Company and the Pebble Project can be found in Canada at and in the United States at Ronald W. Thiessen President & CEO U.S. Media Contact: Dan Gagnier, Gagnier Communications (646) 569-5897 Forward Looking Information and other Cautionary Factors This document includes certain statements that may be deemed 'forward-looking statements' under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and under applicable provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws. All statements in this document, other than statements of historical facts, which address permitting, including the withdrawal of the EPA veto and the development and production for the Pebble Project are forward-looking statements. Additional forward looking statements made by the Company under its continuous disclosure obligations include statements regarding (i) the development plan for the Pebble Project (ii) the right-sizing and de-risking of the Pebble Project, (iii) the design and operating parameters for the Pebble Project development plan, including projected capital and operating costs, (iv) the social integration of the Pebble Project into the Bristol Bay region and benefits for Alaska, (v) the political and public support for the permitting process, (vi) the ability of the Pebble Project to ultimately secure all required federal and state permits, (vii) the ability of the Company and/or the State of Alaska to challenge the Environmental Protection Agency's ('EPA's') Final Determination process under the Clean Water Act and ultimately the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Record of Decision ('USACE ROD') through legal actions; (viii) exploration potential of the Pebble Project, (ix) future demand for copper, gold and other metals, (x) if permitting is ultimately secured, the ability to demonstrate the Pebble Project is ultimately commercially viable, and (xi) the potential addition of partners in the Pebble Project. Although NDM believes the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements should not be in any way be construed as guarantees that the Pebble Project will secure all required government permits or regarding the ability of NDM to develop the Pebble Project in light of the USACE ROD and its subsequent remand decision and the EPA's Final Determination, establish the commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project, achieve the required financing or develop the Pebble Project. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by NDM as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Assumptions used by NDM to develop forward-looking statements include the assumptions that (i) the Pebble Project will obtain all required environmental and other permits and all land use and other licenses without undue delay, (ii) any feasibility studies prepared for the development of the Pebble Project will be positive, (iii) NDM's estimates of mineral resources will not change, and NDM will be successful in converting mineral resources to mineral reserves, (iv) NDM will be able to establish the commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project, and (v) NDM will be successful in its legal action against the EPA and the USACE and any action taken by the EPA in connection with the Final Determination will ultimately not be successful in restricting or prohibiting development of the Pebble Project. In addition, the likelihood of future mining at the Pebble Project is subject to a large number of risks and will require achievement of a number of technical, economic and legal objectives, including (i) the current development plan may not reflect the ultimate mine plan for the Pebble Project, (ii) obtaining necessary mining and construction permits, licenses and approvals without undue delay, including without delay due to third party opposition or changes in government policies, (iii) finalization of the mine plan for the Pebble Project, (iv) the completion of feasibility studies demonstrating that any Pebble Project mineral resources that can be economically mined, (v) completion of all necessary engineering for mining and processing facilities, (vi) the ability of NDM to secure a partner for the development of the Pebble Project, and (vi) receipt by NDM of significant additional financing to fund these objectives as well as funding mine construction. NDM is also subject to the specific risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions. Investors should also consider the risk factors identified in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed on SEDAR+ ( ) and included in its annual report on Form 40-F filed on EDGAR ( ), as well as the risk factors set out in the Company's subsequent public continuous disclosure filings available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. For more information on the Company, Investors should review the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at and its home jurisdiction filings that are available at The National Environment Policy Act Environmental Impact Statement process requires a comprehensive 'alternatives assessment' be undertaken to consider a broad range of development alternatives, the final project design and operating parameters for the Pebble Project and associated infrastructure may vary significantly from that currently contemplated. As a result, the Company will continue to consider various development options and no final project design has been selected at this time. SOURCE: Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. press release

Northern Dynasty: Pebble Partnership Consents to EPA Request for Additional 20-day Abeyance to July 3, 2025
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX:NDM)(NYSE American:NAK) ('Northern Dynasty' or the 'Company') and its 100%-owned U.S.-based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership ('Pebble Partnership' or 'PLP') have informed the government that they do not object to a motion from the Environmental Protection Agency ('EPA') and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ('USACE') (collectively, the 'defendants') to hold the litigation in abeyance for a further 20 days. This is in addition to the prior 90- and 30-day abeyances previously requested by the defendants to give the leadership of the new administration time to familiarize themselves with the issues presented in this case and to decide how they wish to proceed. 'We have been patient with the post-election process with the understanding that it takes time to get the right staff in place and working,' said Ron Thiessen, Northern Dynasty President and CEO. 'However, accelerating the production of critical metals like copper is important for Alaska and the U.S. and the roadblocks to permitting need to be removed. We can proceed with our court filings in the legal action against the preemptive and illegal Obama/Biden era EPA veto, if necessary, but it would be far more timely, efficient, and in-line with the current U.S. administration's objectives if this extraordinary restriction, implemented by the previous administration, is simply withdrawn.'
