Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX:NDM)(NYSE:NAK) ("Northern Dynasty" or the "Company") reports that the US Supreme Court has denied Alaska's petition to review its claims that the EPA veto of the Pebble Project was illegal. John Shively, CEO of its 100%-owned U.S.-based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership ("Pebble Partnership" or "PLP") made the following statement regarding the decision:
北朝礦業有限公司（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：NDM）（紐約證券交易所代碼：NAK）（“北王朝” 或 “公司”）報告說，美國最高法院駁回了阿拉斯加要求審查其關於環保局否決卵石項目非法的指控的申請。其在美國擁有100％股權的子公司Pebble Limited Partnership（“Pebble Partnership” 或 “PLP”）的首席執行官約翰·希弗利就該決定發表了以下聲明：
"While it is a disappointing decision, it is important to note that this is not a comment on the arguments put forward by the state. We have long stated our belief that the EPA has acted outside of its regulatory authority and that remains our position today. The legal issues raised by the state will now work their way through the federal courts. We will also evaluate our legal options in contesting the extraordinary steps the EPA has taken to preemptively stop the Pebble Project. Pebble is an important project for Alaska and the nation. It could create jobs for Alaskans, provide an economic catalyst for the state and provide a much-needed source of critical minerals for the long-term safety and security of the United States."
“儘管這是一個令人失望的決定，但值得注意的是，這不是對國家提出的論點的評論。我們長期以來一直表示，我們相信EPA的行爲超出了其監管權限，這仍然是我們今天的立場。該州提出的法律問題現在將由聯邦法院審理。我們還將評估我們的法律選擇，以質疑美國環保局爲先發制人地停止Pebble項目而採取的特別措施。Pebble是阿拉斯加和全國的重要項目。它可以爲阿拉斯加人創造就業機會，爲該州提供經濟催化劑，併爲美國的長期安全和保障提供急需的關鍵礦產來源。”
