Northern Dynasty’s US unit gets Alaska land use permit

The US-based unit of Northern Dynasty Minerals, the Pebble Limited Partnership (PLP), has received approval for a miscellaneous land use permit (MLUP) from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for its ongoing activities at the Pebble project, in south-west Alaska. One of the largest undeveloped copper/gold deposits in the world, the long-stalled Pebble project has garnered significant interest from speculators lately, as they bet on the controversial project getting the nod from the administration of US President Donald Trump.
