President Trump's Executive Order Bolsters U.S. Mineral Production

On March 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at increasing U.S. mineral production. The initiative underscores the significance of securing a constant mineral supply, vital for defense, technology, and infrastructure. It also prompts Federal agencies to streamline approvals for domestic projects, potentially benefiting Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. and its Pebble Project in Alaska.

Located in Alaska, the Pebble deposit is the largest undeveloped copper site globally, also containing gold and rhenium, essential for military applications. This development could stimulate the local Alaskan economy through job creation and increased tax revenues. Meanwhile, Northern Dynasty Minerals continues to navigate the regulatory landscape to realize the project's potential.
