Northern Dynasty reported on Thursday its U.S. subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership has filed an appeal with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) over its decision to deny a key water permit for the Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum-silver-rhenium mine in Alaska.
The USACE denied the Clean Water Act permit in November because the plan submitted by the Pebble Limited Partnership detailing how it would handle the project’s waste in the ecologically sensitive area did not comply with guidelines.
