If built, the Pebble mine would be the largest copper, gold and molybdenum extraction site in North America. In a bid to overturn the EPA’s decision, Northern Dynasty filed for legal action with Alaska’s federal district court in 2024. Shares of Northern Dynasty Minerals fell by as much as 45% to a five-month low of C$1.52 on the DOJ brief.
