Northern Dynasty: U.S. Army Corps Further Extends the Deadline to Comment on Future Plans

November 27, 2023 Vancouver – Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX: NDM; NYSE American: NAK) (“Northern Dynasty” or the “Company”) reports that its 100%-owned U.S.-based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership (“Pebble Partnership”) has been informed that the Alaska District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) was granted a sixth extension of the deadline to communicate the plan on how the District plans to move forward with its reconsideration of the administrative record after remand. The Division Commander approved the request for an extension until the Supreme Court acts on the State of Alaska’s bill of complaint challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s exercise of its Clean Water Act, Section 404(c) authority.

As reported by the Company on May 1, 2023, in a news release entitled “US Army Corps Remand highlights serious flaws in the permitting decision”, the USACE Pacific Ocean Division had given the Alaska District 45 days to review the appeal decision and notify the parties how it plans to proceed in light of the EPA’s Final Determination. The original deadline expired on Friday, June 9, 2023, with subsequent extensions to June 23, June 29, July 28, September 26, and November 27, 2023, prior to this most recent extension.

Forward Looking Information and other Cautionary Factors

This release 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 release, other than statements of historical facts, which address permitting, development and production for the Pebble Project are forward-looking statements. These include statements regarding: (i) the outcome of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (“USACE”) remand and the ability to successfully appeal the negative Record of Decision (“ROD”) and secure the issuance of a positive ROD by the USACE, (ii) the political and public support for the permitting process, (iii) the ability of the Pebble Project to ultimately secure all required federal and state permits, (iv) if permitting is ultimately secured, the ability to demonstrate that the Pebble Project is commercially viable and (v) the ability of the Company and/or the State of Alaska to challenge the EPA’s Final Determination process under the Clean Water Act.

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 and environmental permits or regarding the ability of NDM to develop the Pebble Projects in light of the EPA’s Final Determination.

Assumptions used by NDM to develop forward-looking statements include the following assumptions: (i) the Pebble Project will ultimately obtain all required environmental and other permits and all land use and other licenses and (ii) 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.

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, 2022, as filed on SEDAR plus and included in the Company’s annual report on Form 40-F filed by the Company with the SEC on EDGAR, and the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022, and nine months ended September 30, 2023, each as filed on SEDAR plus and EDGAR, for a discussion of the risks that may impact our forward-looking statements.

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.
