About Perpetua Resources and the
Stibnite Gold Project
Perpetua Resources Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiaries,
is focused on the exploration, site restoration and redevelopment
of gold-antimony-silver deposits in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine
district of central Idaho that are
encompassed by the Stibnite Gold Project (the "Project"). The
Project is one of the highest-grade, open pit gold deposits in
the United States and is designed
to apply a modern, responsible mining approach to restore an
abandoned mine site and produce both gold and the only mined source
of antimony in the United States.
Further advancing Perpetua Resources' ESG and sustainable mining
goals, the Project will be powered by the lowest carbon emissions
grid in the nation and a portion of the antimony produced from the
Project will be supplied to Ambri, a US-based company
commercializing a low-cost liquid metal battery essential for the
low-carbon energy transition. Perpetua Resources has been awarded a
Technology Investment Agreement of up to $24.8 million in Defense Production Act Title III
funding to advance construction readiness and permitting of the
Project. Antimony trisulfide from Stibnite is the only known
domestic source of antimony that can meet U.S. defense needs for
many small arms, munitions, and missile types. In addition to the
company's commitments to transparency, accountability,
environmental stewardship, safety and community engagement,
Perpetua Resources adopted formal ESG commitments which can be
found here.
