Northern Dynasty engages in the exploration and development of mineral properties in the United States. Its principal property is the Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum mineral project (“Pebble Project”) located in southwest Alaska.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:  (i) the Pebble Project carries a negative net present value; (ii) the Pebble Project is not commercially viable; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Northern Dynasty’s public statements, as well as Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations and prospects, were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. 

On February 14, 2017, Kerrisdale Capital Management released an article about Northern Dynasty alleging that the Company’s main asset, the low-grade Pebble deposit, is not commercially sustainable, that the Pebble project has a negative present value, and that for several years the Company has been concealing this information from the investing public.

On this news, Northern Dynasty’s share price fell $0.68, or 21.38%, to close at $2.50 on February 14, 2017.
