Northern Dynasty: Pebble Partnership, EPA Agree to Mediation to Resolve FACA Litigation

VANCOUVER, Oct. 27, 2016  - Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX: NDM; NYSE MKT: NAK) ("Northern Dynasty" or the "Company") announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alaska-based Pebble Limited Partnership ("Pebble Partnership" or "PLP") and the US Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") have filed a joint Notice in federal court stating their intent to enter into mediation in an effort to resolve ongoing litigation under theFederal Advisory Committee Act ("FACA").
In September 2014, the Pebble Partnership initiated an action in federal district court in Alaska, alleging that EPA violated FACA by its close interactions with, and the undue influence of, Environmental Non-Government Organizations ("ENGOs") and anti-mine activists in developing the Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment, and its unprecedented, pre-emptive regulatory action under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act.  In November 2014, a federal court judge granted PLP's request for a preliminary injunction in the FACA case, prohibiting EPA from taking any further steps toward finalizing its 404(c) regulatory action, and signaling that PLP's case had a likelihood of succeeding on its merits.

Serengeti Identifies High Priority Drill Target nearby Kemess Mine in Northern BC

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Oct 20, 2016) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR)(34S.F) has identified a very strong induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly associated with a strong copper-zinc-gold soil geochemical response and favourable altered volcanic host rocks, on its 100% held UDS property located seven kilometers northeast of the former producing Kemess South open pit mine, now owned by Aurico Metals Inc. Kemess produced 3 million ounces of gold and 360,000 tonnes of copper between 1997 and 2011*. Serengeti views this newly identified target as having the size and intensity to host a significant sulphide system at relatively shallow depth. It remains open to the north for expansion and is a high priority for drill testing.
 
Serengeti completed a deep penetrating, reconnaissance IP geophysical survey along four widely spaced lines on the UDS property in September. Three of the lines covered valley bottom located along a major structure northeast of the Kemess South open pit and east of the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits. The area had previously been identified by Serengeti as highly prospective.
