Northern Dynasty engages in the exploration of mineral properties in the U.S.  Its principal mineral property is the Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum project comprising 2,402 mineral claims that cover an area of approximately 417 square miles located in southwest Alaska (the "Pebble Project").

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operational, and compliance policies.  Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose to investors that: (i) the Company's Pebble Project was contrary to Clean Water Act guidelines and to the public interest; (ii) the Company planned that the Pebble Project would be larger in duration and scope than conveyed to the public; (iii) as a result, the Company's permit applications for the Pebble Project would be denied by the US Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE") and (iv) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

On August 24, 2020 , the U.S. Army released a statement concerning the Pebble Project, stating that it would result in "significant degradation of the environment and would likely result in significant adverse effects on the aquatic system or human environment."  The U.S. Army further found that "the project, as currently proposed, cannot be permitted under section 404 of the Clean Water Act."  The U.S. Army requested that the Company submit a mitigation plan in response to this finding.

On this news, Northern Dynasty's common share price fell $0.55 per share, or 37.9%, to close at $0.90 per share on August 24, 2020 .

On September 21, 2020 , the Environmental Investigation Agency released a recording between investigators and Company executives that demonstrated that Northern Dynasty, contrary to previous public statements, actually planned to build a mine that would last up to 180 years.

On November 25, 2020 , Northern Dynasty reported that the USACE had rejected its permit applications related to the Pebble Project.

On this news, Northern Dynasty's common share price fell $0.40 per share, or 50%, to close at $0.40 per share on November 25, 2020 , damaging investors.

What Was the Highest Price for Copper?

Strong demand in the face of looming supply shortages has pushed copper to new heights in recent years.

With a wide range of applications in nearly every sector, copper is by far the most industrious of the base metals. In fact, for decades, the copper price has been a key indicator of global economic health, earning the red metal the moniker “Dr. Copper.” Rising prices tend to signal a strong global economy, while a significant longer-term drop in the price of copper is often a symptom of economic instability.

After bottoming out at US$2.17 per pound, or US$5,203.58 per metric ton (MT), in mid-March 2020, copper has largely been on an upward trajectory.

Anglo American (LSE:AAL,OTC Pink:AAUKF) reported a sharp US$1.9 billion net loss for the first half of 2025, deepening from US$672 million a year earlier, as the global miner pushed forward with a sweeping corporate overhaul aimed at focusing on copper and iron ore.

Top 5 Junior Copper Stocks on the TSXV in 2025

The copper price climbed to a record high of US$5.64 per pound on the COMEX during Q2.

The rise came on the back of escalating trade tensions and economic chaos caused by US tariffs.

While copper was initially spared from tariffs at the start of the year, US President Donald Trump announced the country would be imposing a 50 percent tariff on all copper products entering the US. The news sparked speculative buying by US metals traders, who sought to position themselves ahead of the yet-to-be-announced tariff deadline.
