The U.S. Federal District Court in Alaska has granted Northern Dynasty Minerals' motion to modify its existing complaint against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by adding the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as a defendant. This decision allows Northern Dynasty to challenge both the EPA's veto and USACE's permit denial for the Pebble Project in a single case. The company aims to reverse the USACE decision to deny the project a permit and expose what it believes were politically motivated actions by both agencies. Northern Dynasty's CEO, Ron Thiessen, stated that combining these cases is more efficient and will allow them to present critical evidence demonstrating the erroneous nature of the permit denial and subsequent EPA veto.
Northern Dynasty Minerals (TSX:NDM)(NYSE American:NAK) has received the remaining $10 million royalty payment under the second tranche of its amended Royalty Agreement. This completes the $12 million second tranche, with the first $2 million received upon execution of the Amendment in November 2023. The completion extends the balance of the Royalty Agreement until July 26, 2025.
The Royalty Holder now has the right to receive approximately 2% of payable gold production and 6% of payable silver production from the Pebble Project. The remaining three tranches of $12 million each are still available, potentially providing an additional $36 million investment. The total purchase price remains at $60 million, with maximum royalty rates of 10% for gold and 30% for silver production.
Northern Dynasty Minerals announced the results of its 2024 Annual General Meeting held on June 27, 2024.

All eight director nominees were elected, with Christian Milau receiving the highest approval at 97.05%. Deloitte was appointed as auditor with 87.12% approval.
The 2024 Share Option Plan was not approved, with 51.80% against the resolution. However, the 2024 Non-Employee Directors Deferred Share Unit Plan and the 2024 Restricted Share Unit Plan were approved with 77.85% and 77.93% votes in favor, respectively.
Non-votes were recorded on each resolution, largely due to discretionary votes given to brokers by US beneficial holders, which are not allowed under Canadian Securities Regulations.
Northern Dynasty Minerals reports that Iliamna Natives (INL) and Alaska Peninsula (APC), representing communities near the Pebble Project, have filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The corporations allege that the EPA exceeded its authority in vetoing the Pebble Project.
John Shively, CEO of Pebble Partnership, highlighted the potential benefits of the Pebble Project, including job creation, economic activity, and reduced living costs for local communities. According to Shively, the EPA has disregarded local community views, leading to increased outmigration and higher living costs.
Ron Thiessen, President and CEO of Northern Dynasty, expressed support for the lawsuit, arguing that the EPA's veto deprives local communities of economic opportunities and a brighter future.
Northern Dynasty Minerals and its subsidiary Pebble Partnership have filed a motion to amend their existing complaint against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as a defendant. The motion, filed in the federal district court in Alaska, seeks to reverse USACE's permit denial for the Pebble Project mine development, arguing the denial was politically motivated and not based on factual records, including the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The amended complaint follows USACE's refusal to reconsider the permit denial despite an administrative appeal, emphasizing that both the EPA and USACE decisions were not supported by environmental analysis and should be overturned by the court.
