Northern Dynasty’s Pebble mine reaches key environmental milestone

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on July 24 released the final environmental-impact statement (EIS) for TSX- and NYSE-listed minerals exploration and development company Northern Dynasty Minerals’ Pebble copper/gold/molybdenum project in southwest Alaska.

In its role as lead federal regulator, the USACE’s EIS is more than 2 000 pages, and is the culmination of a 30-month long, intensive review process under the National Environmental Policy Act.
