Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NAK): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NAK) on TripleS Special Situations's Substack by Tiny Stock Ninja. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on NAK. Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NAK)'s share was trading at $1.2 as of 4th June. A large open-pit mining site, its machinery providing a long-term supply of copper. Northern Dynasty Minerals (NAK) offers a uniquely asymmetric investment opportunity at the intersection of geopolitics, resource sovereignty, and severe market mispricing. The Pebble Project—one of the world's largest undeveloped copper deposits—has long been stalled by regulatory hurdles, but the return of the Trump administration has radically altered its strategic outlook. Recent executive orders prioritize domestic mineral independence and list copper and gold as critical to national security, with directives to expedite permitting. These policy shifts directly benefit dormant projects like Pebble, especially as the U.S. now imports over 45% of its copper. Simultaneously, the global copper supply is entering a structural deficit, exacerbated by decades of underinvestment and geopolitical tensions, including tariffs cutting off U.S. access to Chinese rare earths. Legally, Northern Dynasty has advanced its position through persistent appeals and a well-documented challenge to both the EPA veto and Army Corps denial, citing contradictions with the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which found no measurable impact on local fisheries. These appeals align with the administration's deregulatory momentum, especially in Alaska, where a broad pro-development agenda is unfolding. The Pebble resource base is staggering, with measured and inferred deposits totaling tens of billions of pounds of copper and millions of ounces of gold, carrying a gross market value exceeding $400 billion. At a current market cap of just $660 million, the upside is massive, with after-tax profits projected in the tens of billions. While regulatory and execution risks remain high, the strategic alignment of policy, resource needs, and valuation distortion sets the stage for potentially generational returns. Previously, we have covered a on Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (HMY) by Intelligent_Okra5374 on the Value Investing Subreddit in April 2025, which operates in the same industry as Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NAK). Harmony Gold is a profitable, cash-generative gold producer with diversified assets and a strong balance sheet, benefiting from macro tailwinds in precious metals and expanding into copper for long-term growth. Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NAK) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 9 hedge fund portfolios held NAK at the end of the first quarter which was 6 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of NAK as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Federal judge denies 2 bids to halt Oak Flat land transfer for copper mine
A federal judge in Phoenix has denied two motions for preliminary injunctions that sought to halt a land swap that would transfer ownership of Oak Flat, a parcel of U.S. Forest land located 60 miles east of Phoenix, to a company that intends to open a huge copper mine. In a packed courtroom on June 6, U.S. District Judge Dominic W. Lanza heard arguments in two lawsuits seeking to stop the land exchange until the merits of the cases had been heard. The judge also heard from lawyers representing the U.S. Forest Service and Resolution Copper, who asserted that the law requires the government to transfer the federal property to the mining company within 60 days of the publication of a Final Environmental Impact Statement. The government's lawyers indicated that the environmental impact statement would be made available to the public on June 16, but officially published in the federal register on June 20, when the 60-day countdown would begin. The judge set a timeline for the cases after the government publishes the final environmental review. The two lawsuits challenged the environmental review of the land exchange and the value of the land being swapped to the government by Resolution Copper. One lawsuit was brought by the San Carlos Apache Tribe, a federally recognized tribe, and the other by the Inter Tribal Association of Arizona Inc. and a coalition of environmental and outdoor recreation groups including the Arizona Mining Reform Coalition, Earthworks, the Center for Biological Diversity, Access Fund and the Sierra Club Grand Canyon chapter. In May, U.S. District Judge Steven Logan issued an injunction sought by the grassroots group Apache Stronghold to block the land swap. Logan ruled that the federal government could not issue the final environmental impact statement for the exchange, but that order was set to expire if the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Apache Stronghold's request for a review. On May 27, the high court said it would not hear the case. Critical minerals: Why can't the US mine and refine all its copper? What to know about new Trump order The land at the center of the dispute, Oak Flat, also known as Chi'chil Biłdagoteel, is considered sacred to the Apache and other Native peoples and the site of religious ceremonies. It is also a popular site for outdoor recreationists and habitat for rare desert species, like the endangered Arizona hedgehog cactus and ocelot. Beneath the land sits one of the largest copper deposits on the continent, according to Resolution Copper, whose method of underground mining would sink the land into a nearly two mile wide crater approximately 1,000 feet deep. Resolution Copper is a subsidiary of multinational mining companies BHP and Rio Tinto. Oak Flat has been at the center of ongoing debate over First Amendment religious rights, environmental conservation, mining reform and the green energy revolution since Congress authorized the land exchange in 2014. In exchange for about 5,000 acres of ecologically valuable properties around Arizona, Resolution Copper would gain ownership of Oak Flat to create one of the largest copper mines in the country. While Resolution Copper says the mine would create jobs and benefit the local and state economy, environmentalists say the huge copper mine would destroy the environment and deplete ground and surface water. In April, the Trump administration added the proposed Resolution Copper mine, along with nine other mining projects, to a priority list to increase the domestic production of critical minerals in accordance with an executive order issued in March. In May, the U.S. Supreme Court declined the hear the lawsuit brought by Apache Stronghold, despite dissents from Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas. The Apache Stronghold argued that their First Amendment rights to religious freedom were violated by the land exchange. John Leos covers environmental issues for The Arizona Republic and azcentral.

The religious freedom case stuck in Supreme Court limbo
A version of this article was first published in the State of Faith newsletter. Sign up to receive the newsletter in your inbox each Monday night. As the Supreme Court prepared to hear its second religion case of the current term this week, drama was brewing around a different religious freedom battle that could be taken up soon. Three new documents have been filed with the court in recent days regarding Apache Stronghold v. United States, a case that's been stuck in Supreme Court limbo for around five months. The case centers on a proposed mining project in the Oak Flat area of Arizona, which is located about 70 miles east of Phoenix. In 2021, the federal government moved to begin mining in Oak Flat. Apache Stronghold sued to block the work, arguing that allowing mining in the area would violate federal religious freedom protections. 'Oak Flat is our Mt. Sinai — the most sacred place where generations of Apache have come to connect with our Creator, our faith, and our land,' explained Wendsler Nosie Sr. of Apache Stronghold in a press release in September. While the lawsuit has delayed the mining project, it hasn't yet succeeded in securing long-term protections for Oak Flat. Apache Stronghold lost at the district and circuit court levels, where judges said the planned mining project would not substantially burden Native Americans' religious exercise rights. In September, Oak Flat's defenders asked the Supreme Court to overturn those decisions and rule that religious freedom law protects against mining on sacred land. As usual, the court collected responses to that petition. What's strange is that the case has been stuck in the conferencing stage since late November. On Thursday, federal officials announced that, in the absence of Supreme Court action, they've continued to prepare for the mining project and may file the Final Environmental Impact Statement as soon as this summer. In a Friday letter, Apache Stronghold notified the Supreme Court about that announcement and urged the justices to move the case forward. 'This notice confirms the urgent need for this Court's review,' the letter said. Then, on Monday, attorneys for Resolution Copper, the mining company involved in the case, filed another new document with the Supreme Court, in which it argued that the government's Thursday announcement 'has no bearing on this case's suitability for review.' Later on Monday, the Justice Department filed its own letter and similarly argued that Thursday's announcement should have no bearing on the case. 'Nothing about the recent 60-day notice supports petitioner's arguments for further review,' the letter said. The Supreme Court will next discuss the case on Friday. At least four justices will need to vote in favor of hearing it for Apache Stronghold v. United States to make it onto the oral arguments schedule. Pope Francis has died. Here's how he'll be remembered How does the Catholic Church choose a new pope? What world leaders are saying about Pope Francis' death How storybooks on gender and sexuality sparked a major religious freedom battle What does society owe to Christians who celebrate Easter? Supreme Court gives surprise update on birthright citizenship battle U.K. Supreme Court issues unanimous ruling on the definition of 'woman' The latest on ICE raids in churches Aimee Semple McPherson was one of the most famous evangelists in the United States in the early 20th century. She paved the way for prominent televangelists of the 1970s and 1980s by revolutionizing the spread of religious messages over the radio waves. McPherson was a polarizing figure, in part because of her religious teachings and in part because of financial scandals. She's also been accused of faking her own kidnapping. McPherson is the subject of a new book, 'Sister, Sinner,' by Claire Hoffman. My colleague Jennifer Graham has a new profile out on Franklin Graham, a prominent evangelical leader and the son of Billy Graham. Among other topics, she explored his controversial relationship with President Donald Trump. Religious leaders generally don't enter the profession unless they're willing to conduct a funeral. Even so, many take on the role completely unprepared for that kind of work. To help his ministry students avoid that fate, one professor crafted an unexpected solution, according to Religion News Service: field trips to a cadaver lab. A new Gallup survey on religious preferences seems to confirm what Pew Research Center found in its latest Religious Landscape Study: The U.S. religious landscape has stabilized over the past five years. I helped with the Deseret News' coverage of the Boston Marathon on Monday morning. Three — yes, three! — former BYU runners finished in the top 10 of the men's race.
