(TSX Venture: NDM; AMEX:NAK) is pleased to announce that Northern Dynasty has received formal approval to list its common share on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).

The AMEX listing will be advantageous as the Company advances the Pebble Gold-Copper-Molybdenum Project in Alaska."

Chairman Robert Dickinson said "I am very pleased that Northern Dynasty has secured this listing.
