Thanks, Leif. No, no inference intended, I just was curious to get your perspective and strategy....
Just curious what you consider a "good rise", Lief......l
Much appreciated, Dale
Thanks, Elis. Appreciate all of your help.
Dale, or anyone who is not out to trash this stock, do you see anything in the 10q worth mentioning? Just a novice here trying to get a grasp of things. Thanks!
Moot point as an investor here right now. We don't need to put shovels in the ground in order for this stock to go.
Was that last trade a DV put? I am away from L2 access.....
Wow I did not see that after hours trade....:) Not too shabby...
Yeah, great find Eli's!
I think that right now it is flippers. Like Elis said, DV is not subtle at all in how it sells. The volume the last two days does not indicate that imo, but alas, I am an amateur.....
Would you rather them put money towards zteming the whole area, or towards the drill program? My bet is that jb will want to stem the whole thing.
Are you sure that this action is dilution? ATDF is higher up on the ask.....unless DV changed MMs.
I was not able to watch. Did ATDF (DV) lead the the push down at the end of the day?
uh, ok..... Do you know this stock at all, or are you just some pumper who runs in and out of the pennies?
Hmmm...CDEL just found another half million shares to sell....
Great. thanks for all of your help, Elis!
Elis, didn't we figure out that CDEL is Deer Valley?
LOLLLLLLL!!!
I asked this question on this board last week and the only response I got was that it was in addition to the other 50k that was set aside for Hay Mountain. So I don't know this for sure, just assumed it. Regardless, ZTEM is paid for, but it would be good to know for sure.....
The two 50k pp were absolutely huge here. Will JB decide to ZTEM everything, and thus dilute more? Will JB begin to tap Deer Valley for the money for a drilling program? Will we get some more pps for the drilling program? Maybe a combination of everything above....? Stay tuned......
Is this PP in addition to the other 50 k that was set aside for HM earlier this year?
Lol!!!!!!!!!'
Stuttering mouse, you are sooooo original. Lol!
Hey Banks sell and move on....
Sell and move on Banks....
HEY BANKS, PLEASE SELL AND MOVE ON!!!!! And do not tell me what to post or not to post....... See more than one person can do what you do........????????????????????????????????????????
You,sound like the guy who keeps hammerin' Tracy on Facebook..........
Please sell and move on, Banks.

Northern Dynasty Announces National Economic Impact Study of Alaska's Pebble Project
Pebble will support 15,000 American jobs and contribute more than $2.4 billion annually to US GDP
May 30, 2013, Vancouver, BC - Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. ("Northern Dynasty" or the "Company") (TSX: NDM; NYSE MKT: NAK) announces that the Pebble Limited Partnership (the "Pebble Partnership" or "PLP") has released a comprehensive study authored by IHS Global Insight, a leading global source of critical information and insight, entitled The Economic and Employment Contributions of a Conceptual Pebble Mine to the Alaska and United States Economies. The IHS report is an independent expert study commissioned by PLP that details the Pebble Project's potential economic contributions to the State of Alaska and the United States.
"This study confirms the national importance of the mineral resources at Pebble, the development of which has the potential to increase US copper production by 20% over decades of production, while supplying America's manufacturing, construction and clean energy sectors with the raw materials they require," said Northern Dynasty President & CEO Ronald Thiessen. "Through significant capital investment, high-wage job creation, billions of dollars in government revenues and supply and service contracts, Pebble can benefit generations of Americans and Alaskans."
Economic benefits in the IHS report are characterized in three stages of project development: a five-year construction phase, followed by a 25-year initial production phase, and as many as three potential subsequent 20-year development phases. The IHS report is based on a conceptual mine plan using an iteration of the ongoing engineering work undertaken by PLP. This work continues and no final project design has been selected or approved by the Pebble Partnership at this time.
National economic benefits as defined in the IHS report are outlined in the table below.
National Economic Benefits Construction
(Year 1-5) Initial Production Phase (Year 5-29) Potential Subsequent Development Phases
(Year 30+)
Jobs
(direct, indirect & induced1) 16,175 14,715 16,650
GDP (annual) $1.6 billion $2.4 - $2.72 billion $3.7 - $3.9 billion
Government Revenue
(annual: federal, state, local) $323 million $670 - $772 million $1.2 - $1.25 billion
In production, Pebble will be one of Alaska's largest private sector employers, supporting an average of nearly 2,900 Alaska jobs, including 915 direct operations jobs. Total direct employment at the proposed mine over the first 25 years of production will average 1,220 with an estimated 75% of the workforce to reside full-time in Alaska. At $109,500 per annum, the projected average annual salary for Pebble mine workers is expected to be more than double the state average.
Economic benefits for the State of Alaska as defined in the IHS report are outlined in the table below.
State Economic Benefits Construction
(Year 1-5) Initial Production Phase (Year 5-29) Potential Subsequent Development Phases (Year 30+)
Jobs
(direct, indirect & induced) 4,725 2,890 2,750
GDP (annual) $400 million $1.1 - $1.4 billion $2.1 - $2.4 billion
Government Revenue
(annual: state & local) $27 million $165 - $213 million $351- 396 million
1 Indirect jobs are those supported in sectors providing supplies and services to the Pebble Project. Induced jobs are those supported in sectors benefitting from the spending of Pebble direct and indirect employee wages.
2 The IHS study forecasts a range of GDP and government revenue impacts associated with future development of the Pebble Project based on two different long-term metal commodity price forecasts.
"Pebble can deliver some 3,000 high-wage jobs, more than $1 billion in annual operating expenses and hundreds of millions of dollars in annual tax payments to the State of Alaska which is very significant to the state's economy," Thiessen confirmed, noting that Pebble-related economic activity in Alaska will boost the state's GDP by more than 3% over 2011 levels. "But for the people and communities of Bristol Bay, Pebble would literally transform the regional economy - providing jobs and business opportunities where there are few and increasing the tax base of the Lake and Peninsula Borough by some 600%."
In the Bristol Bay region of southwest Alaska in which Pebble is located, employment opportunities are scarce, the cost of living is among the highest in the nation, and population is declining as people move elsewhere to look for work. According to the IHS report, of the 5,394 working-age residents living in the Bristol Bay region, just 63% worked in 2011 and only 35% were employed throughout the year.
"Mining creates more value per area of land affected than virtually any other industry," Thiessen said. "In the case of Pebble, you have a project that will occupy less than 1/20th of 1% of the 40,000 square mile area that comprises the Bristol Bay region, and yet would significantly surpass the economic benefits generated by the world-class Bristol Bay sockeye salmon fishery.
"Let me be absolutely clear - the Pebble Partnership is designing a project at Pebble that will fully protect and even potentially enhance Bristol Bay's commercial salmon fishery, as well as other subsistence and sport fisheries that thrive in the region. So the economic benefits that are projected for Pebble should only enhance the significant regional employment and economic benefits already provided by Bristol Bay fisheries."
The Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association recently released a study authored by the University of Alaska's Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) entitled The Economic Importance of the Bristol Bay Salmon Industry (April 2013). The table below presents key findings from both the IHS and ISER studies, and depicts the scale of national economic benefits that will be generated in the region in future should PLP achieve its goal of developing and operating a mine at Pebble that co-exists with the world-class fisheries of Bristol Bay.

About the Pebble Project
The Pebble Project is an initiative of the Pebble Partnership to responsibly develop a globally significant copper, gold and molybdenum deposit in southwest Alaska into a modern, long-life mine, which will benefit not only the proponent, its partners and the people and culture of the State of Alaska, but also industries, suppliers and consultants locally and in the Lower 48 United States of America. The project is located 200 miles southwest of Anchorage on state land designated for mineral exploration and development. It is situated in a region of rolling tundra approximately 1,000 feet above sea-level, 65 miles from tidewater on Cook Inlet and presents favourable conditions for successful mine site and infrastructure development.
The Pebble Project consists of the Pebble deposit, surrounding mineral claims and a stream of financing provided by Northern Dynasty's project partner Anglo American US (Pebble) LLC. The Pebble Partnership was established in July 2007 as a 50:50 partnership between a wholly-owned affiliate of Northern Dynasty and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anglo American plc. Both Northern Dynasty and Anglo American have equal ownership and direction of the Pebble Partnership. Under the terms of the Pebble Limited Partnership Agreement, Anglo American is required to elect to commit $1.5 billion in staged investments in order to retain its 50% interest in the Pebble Project. Funds provided by Anglo American are currently being invested in comprehensive exploration, engineering, environmental and socioeconomic programs toward the future development of the Pebble Project.

BELLA! Good to hear from you!??
Uh oh, Banks! I'm gonna hold you accountable for your recent calls.
I mean any half wit can see the writing on the wall. It reads, "There is no ZTEM coming nor financing. All I can do now is make money buy selling more shares." You know who penned that don't ya.
Banks
Are they saying, "come on already"?
It is impossible for this action to be all Deer Valley. This makes it tougher for JB to get the money for ZTEM. Like Eli's said, maybe some folks selling to secure profits from the past. We are going to have to ride out this storm. An angel would be awesome, though!
So based on 20k, and whether or not Deer valley was active today, we obviously had longs throwing in the towel with over 6 million sold. ...?
Do you think this is really THE MrBiGS?
