Northern Dynasty Updates Legal Timelines Following Federal Shutdown

Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. has announced updates to its legal proceedings in the Alaska Federal Court, following a 43-day federal government closure. The case, involving Northern Dynasty's subsidiary, Pebble Limited Partnership, will continue with new deadlines. The Department of Justice is expected to file its response by February 16, 2026, while the plaintiffs' counter-response deadline is April 15, 2026.

CEO Ron Thiessen criticized the extension as excessive, emphasizing the company's aim to overturn an "illegal veto" from the Obama/Biden era. Discussions with government bodies continue in parallel with court actions to expedite the process. Northern Dynasty remains focused on rescinding the veto to halt the summary judgment proceedings.
