Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NAK), a company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties in the United States, has seen a gain of 9% in the premarket trading session. As a result, NAK stock is changing hands at $0.51 at the time of this writing. On Wednesday, NAK stock closed the day at $0.47 after gaining 0.32% in regular hours. The reason behind this rise appears to be a new filing in Bristol Bay Economic Development vs. Pirzadeh case, where, Pebble Ltd. partnership was granted intervention rights. That development has come after the Biden administration pledge for the protection of the Alaskan watershed, which ultimately would affect the development of the Pebble mine project.
NAK expressed disappointment over EPA
On the 10th of September, NAK announced that it was disappointed in the US EPA decision to file a motion for remand with vacatur. EPA decided to file the motion concerning a lawsuit brought by some environmental groups against EPA. The lawsuit challenged the EPA’s July 2019 decision to withdraw its ‘proposed determination’ with regards to Alaska Pebble Project. Northern Dynasty President and CEO Ron Thiessen commented on the development that the company fought and won against Former President Obama’s heavy-handed political attempts to kill the Pebble project, and could do the same again. Pebble Limited Partnership stated that as the Biden Administration seeks lower carbon emissions for energy production, they should recognize that such change will require significantly more mineral production – notably copper, toward which the Pebble project would contribute significantly.
