NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

You are receiving this notification because Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (the "Company") has decided to use the notice and access model ("notice and access") for the delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders in respect of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 23, 2022 (the "Meeting").  Under notice and access, instead of receiving paper copies of the Company's Notice of Annual General Meeting, form of Proxy and Information Circular (the "Information Circular") (collectively, the "Proxy Materials"), you, as a shareholder of the Company, are receiving this Notice and Access Notification ("notification") with information on how you may access such Proxy Materials, including the Information Circular, electronically. With this notification, you will also receive a proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, allowing you to vote by proxy, so your votes will be counted in the resolution votes at the Meeting.  This alternative means of delivery is an environmentally responsible and cost-effective way to deliver Proxy Materials to the Company's shareholders.  You will also receive a Financial Statements Request Form which, when completed and returned to the Company, allows you to inform the Company of your choice to receive paper copies of the Company's annual and/or interim financial statements for the following year.
