(TSX:NDM) (NYSE American:NAK) (\"Northern Dynasty\" or the \"Company\") and its 100%-owned, U.S.-based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership (\"Pebble Partnership\") announce that the Department of Justice (\"DOJ\") has filed its brief in Alaska Federal Court on February 17, 2026. \"We find it surprising that despite the Executive Orders and the many statements made by the administration related to Alaskan development, pro-energy, pro-critical metals, pro-defense and military support, removing roadblocks to permitting, on the need for copper, etc., this EPA would choose to defend the unlawful Obama-Biden veto,\" said Ron Thiessen, Northern Dynasty President and CEO. \"This precedent will be used by future Democratic administrations to reverse all of the progress this administration has made with its pro-energy, pro-mining, pro-development agenda.\" \"We are reviewing their filing with our legal team and will have detailed comments once that review is completed in the next few days.\" Mr. Thiessen continued.
