It did make a second big move around the time of its latest announcements about a month ago.
This little blip is the last 3 days.

Mr.Copper, Maddog
With all due respect to both of you, whom I respect.
Mr.Copper: None of that is news, recent news. There is no recent, public news. My point.
Maddog: The strong boost from Trump’s comments months ago have long since faded, for tbe most part. It has remained higher than before those coments. Also, I have not seen it trade in correlation with the general market. More with PMs, but they haven’t moved much the last few days. Perhaps it is copper price related.
I just wanted to mention that I noticed a small change to its trading pattern of late.
Thank you for your research.
Mr Copper
As long as demand holds I think a lot of the OTC type stocks, yes I know NAK isn’t, anyways will be considered a buy on future speculation. Speculations dangerous in itself but if these companies show they can mine enough to show future profit combined with higher prices they could be a buy. As long as countries don’t get stupid like the Biden admin. did to Russia and try to shut down trading because that can go two ways it might be the only way to buy gold in fiat and other commodities in some countries who might halt physical exports.
Mr Copper…this is what Grok had to say…….seems u need more than one ‘brain’
Northern Dynasty Minerals (NAK) Stock Update
As of November 25, 2025 (market open), Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NYSE American: NAK), a junior mining company focused on the Pebble Project (a major undeveloped copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in Alaska), is experiencing a notable uptick in its stock price. The shares are trading around $1.50–$1.81 based on recent closes, reflecting a potential intraday gain of 5–10% from Friday’s close (exact real-time figures can vary; check a live broker for the latest). This continues a volatile 2025 performance, with the stock up over 166% year-to-date amid broader commodity trends.
Why Is NAK Up Today?
The primary drivers appear tied to sector momentum and speculative themes in copper mining stocks:
Copper Price Surge and “Copper Theme” Rally: Copper futures are hitting multi-month highs (above $4.50/lb), fueled by U.S. infrastructure spending, EV battery demand, and data center expansion under the incoming Trump administration’s pro-mining policies. NAK, as a high-grade copper play, is riding this wave. Recent X discussions highlight “$NAK up and moving” in the context of the “Copper Theme,” linking it to data center buildouts that require massive copper wiring.
Post-Election Optimism for Pebble Project: Trump’s victory has boosted sentiment for domestic mining deregulation. The Pebble Project has faced EPA vetoes under Biden, but analysts see a path to revival under Trump, potentially unlocking billions in value. Forecasts from sources like MarketBeat peg a $2.50 price target (up ~67% from current levels), with a “Strong Buy” consensus from 2 analysts. This has sparked short-covering and retail interest.
Broader Market Tailwinds: U.S. stocks are up sharply today on Fed signals for a December rate cut (25 bps), easing borrowing costs for miners. Mining ETFs like COPX are +2–3%, lifting speculative names like NAK. Volume is elevated (14M+ shares average), but note the “price up, volume down” divergence as a caution—could signal weakening momentum if not sustained.

NAK remains highly speculative—it’s a development-stage miner with no revenue and ongoing legal battles. If copper breaks $5/lb or Pebble news drops, it could surge further; otherwise, pullbacks to $1.30 support are possible. For real-time charts or trades, platforms like
Re Northern Dynasty
I asked ChatGPT Why is NAK up 9% today, briefly.
Good question. Here’s a quick rundown of why NAK (Northern Dynasty Minerals) is up ~9% today:
-
Royalty Payment Boost: The company recently received the 5th and final $12 M tranche from its royalty investor, hitting the full $60 M under its royalty agreement. That improves its liquidity significantly. Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd.
-
Regulatory Progress & Legal Strategy: There’s renewed optimism around the Pebble Project (its big Alaska mine) because NAK is pushing hard on two fronts—negotiating with the EPA and pursuing litigation to overturn an existing veto. Stock Titan+1
-
Investor Sentiment: The combined effect of stronger cash position + potential breakthrough on the EPA veto is sparking speculative interest. AInvest+1
Bottom line: The stock is rallying on better funding and renewed confidence that the Pebble Project’s regulatory risk might be easing.

Maybe Ukraine/ Starmer news, if hes even sincere about it. Apparently Zelenski was never their leader, just UK and EU paid puppet. EU still wants war even though everyone knows they would lose claiming they would crack someone else’s bank to pay their pensions but instead they open the door and let their real enemies walk right in and attack the people. Maybe that’s their army that’s supposed to protect them when they run out of the real citizens money and why their trying so hard to take people rights away to make people fear them because they fear the consequences of their stupidity.
Northern Dynasty
Has been going up quietly the last few days. Over 8% today.
It’s still not much, but I wonder if someone knows something about the ongoing consideration/negotiation.
Maddog
Including today, only 3 more trading days before end-of-the-month. So, I’m guessing that the scum want to set things up to “mark” their shorts as low as possible, and 2) As Captain has alluded to:
Last notice day is Nov 26 for the November gold and silver contracts so there are 2 trading days to be reported before first notice. Both contracts are inactive months.
Maddog
Yes, Starmer doing the right thing. Kinda rare …

Re Ukraine/Starmer
That’s great news…at last….I think that has to be the most sensible thing Starmer has ever said…but that is a very, very short list.

It’s the last train out for Zelensky! 🙂
No doubt he’ll be able to bring some freight cars full of treasure with him into exile.
Well whataya know!
Tucker Carlson Says USD is Doomed, Starts Gold Company
GFN – NEW YORK: Carlson’s move, as detailed in the Wall Street Journal, is framed as a response to what he sees as the decline of trust in central banks and the fading reliability of post-war monetary structures. As one report put it, “the dollar is doomed, collapse is a matter of time,” capturing the tone of Carlson’s argument that traditional currencies are entering a long cycle of debasement. He contends that central banks have abandoned their stabilizing role, turning into institutions that undermine the very confidence they were built to maintain. Gold, in this narrative, regains importance as both symbol and store of value.

Re Ukraine….He/They don’t have a lot of choice, they now realise, that if they reject this deal, the next will be way worse…..
and I gather the scandal about kickbacks and energy defense , is very big and involves nearly every one close to Zelenskey …ie he must be involved.
Wow that would be great! Not holding my breath ….
Ukraine Tentatively Agrees To Trump-Backed Peace Plan, Sending Oil Sliding

Yes house prices can go down and have. Post 08 crash house prices from where buyers bought at the top in a few years went down as far as 70 percent. There was another one in the 80 s where they dropped too. But what didn’t drop was apartment rentals although they didn’t double or more in prices in a few years because they weren’t being bought up by these scrum bags too. I watched it happen here. The apts were being bought and tenants were being evicted for so called upgrades which was cheap and nothing much like painting then raised the prices to double or just up and raised the prices. It only froze and slowed increases post 08 but they never lowered the prices. .
What rising the prices these scum were causing increased he average price for that area even if the people weren’t doing it. That also allowed the government to get their cut by the original owners to suddenly get a tax and insurance increase.
GOP Members Consider Following MTG Into Retirement, Say White House Treats Them ‘Like Garbage’
“It’s a tinder box”
Can you imagine…? A mass walkout from congress for the GOP. Trump has lost his base. And another government shutdown coming in January. What if nobody came to congress?
‘Just walk on by’. Bring popcorn.
goldie, yes house prices can go down.
Ah. No. House prices can’t go down! ‘cos then too many mortgages would be under water forcing sales so house prices go down further …
No. House prices can’t go down because then the consumer will ‘feel’ poorer and stop spending because of the uncertainty, of the event horizon of prices falling for the first time ever (in their goldfish type memory banks).
In the land of the perpetual election cycle short term econopolitics is the only type.
Our three kids epitomise it. One has heaps of equity but a large mortgage (relative to their salary, anyway, always a bit of month left at the end of the money). Number two has two properties with some equity in each. Some, not a great cushion. The youngest doesn’t have a house. So, not that anyone wishes ill on anyone else, but the youngest wants prices to fall, the middle one wants them to keep galloping up, and the eldest doesn’t really mind so long as they don’t fall more than 30%! Fortunately the youngest has most of his savings in yellow stuff, so at least his deposit is staying ahead of the market slightly.
