Oral argument was heard on 25 June 2026 and the case is now with the judge. Whether the deposit can ever be mined turns on a single district court decision, more than five years after the permit was refused.
The Pebble Partnership, the State of Alaska and the two village corporations filed their response briefs on 14 April 2026, completing the written argument.
Filed 2025 annual accounts and Form 40-F, with a going-concern emphasis of matter in the auditor's report for the fifth consecutive year in this record.
Answered the Justice Department brief publicly, saying its arguments repeat earlier ones and contradict the findings of the 2020 final environmental impact statement.
The Justice Department filed its brief on 17 February 2026 defending the veto. The company said it was surprised, given the administration's stated support for Alaskan development and domestic copper, that this EPA chose to defend it.
Set out the revised court timetable: plaintiffs filed in October 2025, the Justice Department must answer by 17 February 2026, with plaintiffs' replies to follow.
Appointed Stephen Meyer, who runs a private equity real estate firm investing in distressed assets and mortgages, to the board and as chair of the audit and risk committee.

Received the fourth $12 million royalty tranche before the 30 September deadline, alongside an update on the court case and talks with the government. Royalty money, not shares, has funded the company through the litigation years.
Judge Gleason granted the request for a summary judgment schedule while negotiations with government officials over withdrawing the veto continued in parallel.
Received the third $12 million royalty tranche and amended the agreement a second time, again loosening the instalment terms and pushing back the 26 July 2025 expiry.
Agreed to pause its own lawsuit for 90 days so the newly confirmed EPA administrator could decide how to proceed - the company betting on negotiation with the new administration rather than on the court.
Alaska's governor asked the incoming president for a day-one executive order reversing federal resource restrictions in the state - the company's hope now resting on a change of administration rather than on the courts alone.
Josie Hickel joined the board. She was previously senior vice president for human resources and administration at the Pebble project and has led an Alaska Native regional corporation.
The Alaska federal court allowed the Army Corps to be added as a defendant to the existing complaint against the EPA, so the permit denial and the veto will be argued together.
Received the remaining $10 million of the second royalty tranche, which under the November 2023 amendment had been payable in six instalments of $2 million.

Iliamna Natives Limited and Alaska Peninsula Corporation sued the EPA over the veto - the same two Alaska Native village corporations that granted Pebble its road and port rights of way in 2018 and 2019, now litigating alongside it.
Asked the court for permission to widen its existing complaint to cover the Army Corps' permit denial as well as the EPA veto, rather than start a second suit.
