The Pebble deposit is located on land selected by the State of Alaska following statehood in 1959 specifically for its mineral potential. Through two comprehensive land use planning processes, the last concluded in 2005, these lands have been explicitly designated for "mineral exploration and development."

Alaska is known around the world for its progressive environmental standards and its healthy fish and wildlife populations. The state currently hosts four hard rock mines, all of which have exemplary performance records, as well as four late-stage development projects.

While enforcing high standards, regulatory oversight in Alaska is also intrinsically stable and predictable. Alaskans strongly support responsible resource development, and have clearly indicated their support for the state's permitting system as the appropriate measure for projects like Pebble.

Northern Dynasty and the Pebble Partnership are confident that Pebble can be developed in an environmentally sound and socially responsible manner, consistent with Alaska and U.S. standards.
