NO MEANS NO

WE WILL NEVER RELENT IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST THE PEBBLE MINE.

-

NORTHERN DYNASTY MINERALS, WE’RE PREPARED TO FIGHT FOREVER. ARE YOU?

Because Bristol Bay, Alaska, is a national treasure, and its people, wildlife, and the greatest wild salmon fishery on earth depend on it.

The proposed Pebble Mine is a uniquely reckless project that, according to the U.S. Environmen­tal Protection Agency, could have catastroph­ic consequenc­es for a thriving local economy, indigenous ways of life, the region’s waters and wildlife, and a commercial fishery that generates $1.5 billion annually, supports 14,000 jobs, and supplies half of the world’s wild sockeye salmon.

Four of the largest mining companies in the world— Mitsubishi Corporatio­n, Anglo American, Rio Tinto, and First Quantum—determined that the Pebble Mine is a bad investment and abandoned the project.

EPA administra­tors for Presidents Nixon, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush called the Pebble Mine “the wrong mine in the wrong place.”

The 170-nation World Conservati­on Congress voted virtually unanimousl­y to oppose the Pebble Mine and urge the U.S. government to deny permits.

Local, state, national, and internatio­nal groups stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the native tribes and communitie­s of Bristol Bay against the Pebble Mine.

If Northern Dynasty continues to pursue the Pebble Mine, it will do so in defiance of scientific consensus, world opinion, and overwhelmi­ng local opposition.
