(NAK) Northern Dynasty Minerals - Ratings and Ratios
Copper, Gold, Molybdenum, Silver, Rhenium
Description: NAK Northern Dynasty Minerals October 22, 2025
Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NYSE MKT: NAK) is a Vancouver-based explorer focused on a single, large-scale project – the Pebble Copper-Gold-Molybdenum-Silver-Rhenium deposit in southwest Alaska. The company holds a 100 % interest in 1,840 mineral claims covering roughly 274 square miles, targeting a suite of metals that includes copper, gold, molybdenum, silver and the rare metal rhenium.
According to the most recent technical update (Q2 2024), Pebble’s indicated resources total about 1.2 billion tonnes grading 0.5 % copper, 5.3 million ounces of gold, 0.2 % molybdenum, 5.5 % silver and 0.2 % rhenium – a portfolio that could deliver roughly 1.5 % of global copper supply if fully developed. The project’s economics are highly sensitive to copper prices; a $4.00/lb benchmark yields an after-tax NPV of ~$5 billion, while a $3.00/lb scenario cuts NPV by more than 40 %.
Key sector drivers bolster the upside: accelerating demand for copper from renewable-energy infrastructure and electric-vehicle production, tightening global supply due to mine closures, and a modest but growing market for rhenium in aerospace super-alloys. Conversely, Pebble remains in a protracted permitting phase, with the U.S. EPA’s final decision on the mine’s water-quality impacts still pending, representing a material execution risk.
