Pebble Partnership Submits Comments To EPA On Revised Proposed Determination

VANCOUVER - Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. reported that the Pebble Limited Partnership (PLP) has submitted extensive comments objecting to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) preemptive veto of the Pebble Project. The Pebble Partnership called upon the agency to withdraw its action and refrain from further action against the project, thus allowing the appeal process undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to conclude.

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, an initiative to develop one of the world's most important mineral resources.
