BENSALEM, Pa. -- (Business Wire)

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming April 17, 2017 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of a class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (“Northern Dynasty” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: NAK) securities between September 16, 2013 and February 14, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Northern Dynasty investors have until April 17, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On February 14, 2017, shares of Northern Dynasty stock plummeted following the publication of a report alleging that Northern Dynasty’s Pebble Project is not commercially viable, and that key partners have left the project.

The complaint filed in this lawsuit alleges that throughout the class period Defendants issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) The Pebble Project carried a negative net present value; (ii) the Pebble Project is not commercially viable; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements, as well as Defendants’ statements about Northern Dynasty’s business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you purchased Northern Dynasty shares, you may move the Court no later than April 17, 2017 to request appointment as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
