BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (“Perpetua Resources” or “Perpetua” or the “Company”) announced today that its unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the period ended March 31, 2022 were filed. For details, please see the Company’s filings available on EDGAR and SEDAR.

Perpetua Resources’ vision is to provide the U.S. with a domestic source of the critical mineral antimony, develop one of the largest and highest-grade open pit gold mines in the country and restore an abandoned brownfield site. Perpetua Resources is focused on advancing the permitting for the Stibnite Gold Project through the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) process.

First Quarter 2022 and Recent Highlights:

Zero lost time incidents and zero reportable environmental spills in the first quarter of 2022
Strengthened Board with appointment of Laura Dove who brings three decades of external affairs and stakeholder management experience
Promoted Jessica Largent to CFO and hired Chris Fogg as Investor Relations Manager
Launched Sustainability Roadmap outlining 13 goals that will guide Perpetua
Released the Company’s first annual report as a U.S. domestic issuer
Continued productive mediation discussions with the Nez Perce Tribe and an extension to the stay on the Clean Water Act matter was recently granted through July 31, 2022
Prepared contractor competitive bid package for the stream diversion clean up work expected to begin this summer under the Administrative Settlement and Order on Consent (“ASAOC”)
Welcomed Idaho’s Congressional Delegation submitting floor remarks and issuing a statement supporting critical mineral independence
Stibnite Advisory Council began review of the first data collected from the Independent Water Quality Monitoring program

“Perpetua Resources had a productive quarter as we continued to advance our project through the permitting process, further strengthened our team and launched our Sustainability Roadmap,” said Laurel Sayer, President and CEO of Perpetua Resources. “I look forward to the public seeing how our project improvements are designed to leave water quality and overall habitat in better shape than today while also responsibly producing critical minerals for our national interests. I remain confident that the additional evaluation of our project will address the concerns raised during the last public review and we are hopeful that it will allow the U.S. Forest Service to designate a preferred project alternative in the third quarter of 2022.”

Permitting Update:

On February 22, 2022, Perpetua announced the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) is expected to publish the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“SDEIS”) for public review early in the third quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, the USFS completed all of the 17 specialist reports for cooperating agency review and recently circulated the preliminary SDEIS for cooperating agency review. The comprehensive scientific analysis by the USFS and cooperating agencies, combined with the additional public review of the SDEIS, fortify the rigorous process mandated by NEPA.

The Company also advanced work on several ancillary permits in the first quarter of 2022, which are being progressed in parallel with the NEPA process. The Air Permit to Construct draft permit was released for public comment by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”) in January 2022. The public comment period closed in March 2022 after a 30 day extension. In addition, the Idaho Pollution Discharge Elimination System (“IPDES”) application for industrial outfalls was submitted in January and deemed complete in early March. Perpetua’s water rights permit application is continuing through the administrative process after being submitted to the Idaho Department of Water Resources (“IDWR”) in 2021.

Perpetua Resources launches Sustainability Roadmap

Perpetua Resources Corp. launched its Sustainability Roadmap today which outlines 13 goals to guide the Company as it advances the Stibnite Gold Project towards development. The Roadmap provides additional transparency and accountability measures for stakeholders, including community members and employees to track how Perpetua’s Environment, Social, and Governance commitments will be integrated as the Project advances.

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (“Perpetua Resources” or “Perpetua” or the “Company”) launched its Sustainability Roadmap (“Roadmap”) today which outlines 13 goals to guide the Company as it advances the Stibnite Gold Project (“Project”) towards development. The Roadmap provides additional transparency and accountability measures for stakeholders, including community members and employees to track how Perpetua’s Environment, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) commitments will be integrated as the Project advances. Each goal within the Roadmap is informed by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (“UNSDGs”) to align Perpetua’s path with global objectives to promote a more sustainable future.

“Our actions over the last decade demonstrate our deep commitment to building a company where responsible redevelopment of the historical Stibnite Mining District can bring environmental, social and economic benefits” said Laurel Sayer, President and CEO of Perpetua Resources. “Launching Perpetua’s Sustainability Roadmap provides an additional level of transparency for all of our stakeholders as we advance the Stibnite Gold Project.”

Perpetua Resources and the Stibnite Gold Project are uniquely positioned to demonstrate an industry-leading sustainability approach. The Project is designed to restore an abandoned mine area through reprocessing and safely storing millions of tons of legacy mine tailings, restoring river habitat and fish migration access, and improving wetlands. The Project can also support the clean energy transition as the only domestically mined source of the critical mineral antimony, which is an essential component in Ambri’s long-duration storage batteries. Additionally, the Perpetua team has prioritized gender diversity with over 40% female employees and over 65% female senior leadership, led by CEO Laurel Sayer.

“Sustainability has always been at the forefront for Perpetua,” said Sayer. “We began by prioritizing community partnerships, designing for environmental uplift and recruiting a diverse team that represents some of the best in the industry. Now, we are advancing our efforts by defining a path for responsible mineral development here at home.”

The Company’s vision to responsibly restore an abandoned mine site, produce critical minerals required for U.S. security and clean energy, and bring benefits to surrounding communities formed the foundation for the Roadmap. The goals were developed in alignment with Perpetua’s ESG policy and broader sustainability strategy and support multiple UNSDGs.

Perpetua Resources’ Sustainability Roadmap goals are:

Improve and protect water quality. Perpetua Resources’ Plan of Restoration and Operation is designed to improve water quality at Stibnite to be better than it is today.
Conserve water. Conserving and reusing water are key to minimizing the impacts of the Stibnite Gold Project.
Limit our footprint. The Company has already reduced the footprint of its Project by 13% compared to the original design. Additionally, 51% of the footprint is on previously disturbed land. It is one of the only projects in North America that plans to reprocess previously mined material to restore a brownfields site.
Be a responsible link in the clean energy supply chain. Perpetua signed an agreement to supply a portion of the antimony produced at Stibnite to Ambri Inc, for the development of grid-scale storage batteries that can help decarbonize the U.S. energy grid.
Work with communities and regulators to refine environmental outcomes of the Stibnite Gold Project. Public and agency feedback has been essential in the design of the Project. Perpetua will use this feedback to identify ways to improve the social and environmental outcomes of our project.
Nurture connections with tribal communities and identify opportunities to collaborate. Perpetua is committed to continuing to work with tribal leadership, staff and their membership to ensure the Project honors and protects tribal treaty rights.
Foster an open and transparent relationship with local communities. The Stibnite Advisory Council, which was formed by the 2018 Community Agreement, is a vehicle for the Company to connect directly with the communities closest to our site throughout the life of the Project.
Create economic partnerships that sustain beyond the life of the mine. Perpetua Resources entered into a profit-sharing agreement to fund the Stibnite Foundation. This locally-run charitable endowment is designed to have a lasting impact by supporting local social, environmental and health programs.
Develop a diverse and inclusive team. The Company is committed to recruiting, building and retaining a diverse team.
Adopt a long-term Environment, Social and Governance reporting framework. Perpetua Resources will strive to align its ESG disclosure with the SASB reporting framework beginning with its 2021 sustainability report to be released later this year.
Disclose and report current and future GHG emissions. Perpetua plans to report annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through a certified third-party to ensure transparency in emissions reporting.
Set science-based GHG target. Once a Project design is approved by regulators, the Company will establish an anticipated baseline for GHG emissions and intends to develop targets based on feasible offsets, mitigations and reductions.
Protect our people and our communities. Perpetua will continue to implement best practices and set high safety and training standards to keep our people and our communities safe.

Perpetua Resources has published annual sustainability reports since 2013, detailing the Company’s actions in communities and for the environment and will launch its ninth report later this year. These reports can be viewed on Perpetua’s website at https://perpetuaresources.com/sustainability/. Perpetua Resources expects to set more specific and measurable ESG targets based on the final project design and anticipated outcomes once all permits for the Stibnite Gold Project have been issued.

Perpetua Resources Welcomes Use of Defense Production Act for Battery Metals

Perpetua Resources Corp. applauds that U.S. President Biden has deemed domestic mining of critical minerals for large-capacity storage batteries essential to America’s national security and instructed the U.S. Department of Defense to secure the supply of battery metals through the authorities granted by the Defense Production Act (“DPA”). Perpetua Resources’ proposed gold and antimony project in Idaho, the Stibnite Gold Project (“Project”), would provide the only domestically mined source of the critical mineral antimony which is essential for liquid metal, large-capacity battery technology.

U.S. President Biden invokes the Defense Production Act to secure domestic critical minerals for large-capacity storage batteries.

Through partnership agreement with Ambri, antimony from Perpetua Resources is poised to power American-based grid-scale energy storage battery.

Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Gold Project would provide the only domestically mined source of the critical mineral antimony; currently China, Russia and Tajikistan control 90% of the global antimony market.

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (“Perpetua Resources” or “Perpetua” or the “Company”) applauds that U.S. President Biden has deemed domestic mining of critical minerals for large-capacity storage batteries essential to America’s national security and instructed the U.S. Department of Defense to secure the supply of battery metals through the authorities granted by the Defense Production Act (“DPA”). Perpetua Resources’ proposed gold and antimony project in Idaho, the Stibnite Gold Project (“Project”), would provide the only domestically mined source of the critical mineral antimony which is essential for liquid metal, large-capacity battery technology.

“President Biden’s actions underscore the need to swiftly and significantly increase domestic production of antimony and other critical minerals essential to securing our clean energy future,” said Laurel Sayer, President and CEO of Perpetua Resources. “Prioritizing responsible mineral development is a clear recognition that serious action is needed to address the vulnerabilities associated with energy and mineral dependence. A resilient and diversified energy grid will require the support of a wide variety of battery technologies and associated minerals. Antimony based battery technologies offer an alternative in the market and their inclusion in the mix of energy storage options will help limit overreliance on any one critical mineral."

In 2021, Perpetua entered into a long-term partnership agreement with Ambri, an American company developing an antimony-based liquid metal battery which is designed to provide affordable and reliable grid-scale storage to facilitate the decarbonization of energy grids. Under the agreement, antimony from the Stibnite Gold Project is expected to power over 13 Gigawatt hours of energy storage which is equivalent to over 8 times the total additions to the U.S. energy storage market in 2020 and enough to power approximately 1 million American homes with solar power on a daily basis over the anticipated 20+ year lifespan of the batteries. This partnership highlights the role modern mining can play in addressing some of the world’s climate change challenges and directly links the restoration of the historical Stibnite mining district to achieving climate change solutions.

Presidential Determination No 2022-11 comes after weeks of mounting pressure from bipartisan congressional leaders calling for action to end foreign reliance on critical minerals. In a joint letter to the President, Senators Murkowski, Manchin, Risch and Cassidy urged the Administration to use the Defense Production Act to develop domestic critical mineral production to support national security and energy independence.

“Made in America starts with mined in America,” said Sayer. “We appreciate the growing urgency and bipartisan recognition that a safe, reliable, and responsible supply chain must begin right here at home and the Stibnite Gold Project is prepared to be part of the solution by providing the only domestically mined source of antimony for both energy storage products and national security platforms.”

Citing dependance on foreign sources and an inability to meet the growing demands of a clean energy economy, the Determination orders the Secretary of Defense to “create, maintain, protect, expand or restore sustainable and responsible production” of critical and strategic minerals needed for large-capacity batteries among other products. The Determination also directs the Secretary of Defense to consult with the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Energy.

The Project is currently progressing into the later stages of the permitting process, and the Company anticipates the circulation of a preliminary Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“SDEIS”) for cooperating agency review in the second quarter of 2022, with public release shortly thereafter in the third quarter of 2022.

Critical Project for the American Future

The Stibnite Gold Project in central Idaho is designed to restore environmental conditions at a historical mine site while responsibly developing one of the highest-grade, open pit gold resources in the United States and becoming the only domestically mined source of the critical mineral antimony.

With key applications in energy and defense, securing a domestic supply of antimony is more important than ever. Antimony is a key component for grid storage battery technology and Perpetua is uniquely positioned to play a vital role in the decarbonization of the world through its supply agreement with Ambri. Also a vital component in defense applications, antimony was listed by the Department of Defense (“DOD”) as a shortfall material in the 100-Day Supply Chain Review Report (June 2021) and in DOD’s most recent National Defense Stockpile and Annual Operations and Planning Report (February 2022).

The U.S. Geological Survey recently reported that foreign reliance is growing, with China, Russia and Tajikistan controlling 90% of the world supply of antimony and no domestically mined sources (USGS, 2022 Mineral Commodity Summary).

Perpetua Resources Supports Congressional Call to Action on U.S. Critical Mineral Production

Perpetua Resources strongly supports the Idaho Congressional Delegation’s united call for domestic critical mineral production including the timely completion of permitting reviews necessary for development of Idaho’s critical mineral resources which will bolster our Nation’s economic independence and security amid geopolitical instability and unprecedented supply chain disruptions.

Idaho Congressional Delegation calls for timely permitting for critical mineral projects in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and America’s overreliance on foreign adversaries.

More than 75% of antimony production controlled by China and Russia.

Stibnite Gold Project is designed to restore an abandoned mine site while responsibly producing gold and the only domestically mined source of antimony, essential for clean energy and defense materials.

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (“Perpetua Resources” or “Perpetua” or the “Company”) strongly supports the Idaho Congressional Delegation’s united call for domestic critical mineral production including the timely completion of permitting reviews necessary for development of Idaho’s critical mineral resources which will bolster our Nation’s economic independence and security amid geopolitical instability and unprecedented supply chain disruptions.

Project Overview with Perpetua Resources CEO, Laurel Sayer

In floor remarks delivered this week, Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch along with Congressmen Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher resolutely called for action on critical mineral supply chains and pointed to the need to advance proposed projects that would tap into Idaho’s vast antimony and cobalt resources. Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Gold Project has one of the world’s largest resources of antimony not controlled by China or Russia and could provide the only domestically mined source of a critical mineral deemed essential for clean energy battery storage technology and the Nation’s defense needs.

“While we need to take strong actions on Russia, the reality is that we source many of our raw minerals from them. As we tighten our grip on their financial system and exports, we must prioritize domestic sourcing and reduce our reliance on countries like Russia and China,” said the Idaho delegation. “The time is now for this Administration to take real action to prioritize a strong domestic supply chain for these essential minerals. We do not want to compromise any of our environmental or other standards. We are simply calling on the Administration to prioritize the timely completion of the permits for currently proposed projects so we may take back control of a fundamental piece of many of our essential industries: critical minerals production.”

“The need for responsible domestic mining to secure our economic, defense, and energy future is not lost on the people of Idaho or the American people,” said Laurel Sayer, President & CEO of Perpetua Resources. “Perpetua is fortunate to have a congressional delegation that recognizes a safe, reliable, and responsible supply chain starts right here at home and supports the growing bipartisan unity to encourage domestic mineral production. Our vision at Perpetua Resources has always been to restore an abandoned mine site while producing the critical resources our Country needs for a more secure and sustainable future. Now, more than ever, turning this vision into reality is vital for our Nation’s success. As we enter the later stages of permitting, we are confident that the robust review process has created improved project outcomes while also prioritizing community and stakeholder transparency.”

Critical Project for the American Future

The Stibnite Gold Project in central Idaho is designed to restore environmental conditions at a legacy mine site while responsibly developing one of the highest-grade, open pit gold resources in the United States and becoming the only domestically mined source of the critical mineral antimony.

With key applications in energy and defense technology, securing a domestic supply of antimony is more important than ever. Antimony is a key component for grid storage battery technology and Perpetua is uniquely positioned to play a vital role in the decarbonization of the world through its supply agreement with Ambri. Vital to defense materials, antimony was listed by the Department of Defense as a shortfall material in the 100-Day Supply Chain Review Report (June 2021).

Perpetua Resources Achieves Critical Milestones As Permitting Continues to Progress

Perpetua Resources announced today that the Company expects the United States Forest Service (“USFS”) to publish a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement for public review and comment in early Q3 2022.

Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement publication anticipated in early Q3 2022.

Amidst heightened geopolitical tensions, new US Government report indicates U.S. foreign reliance on China and Russia for critical mineral antimony continues to grow.

The Stibnite Gold Project is designed to responsibly source gold and the only domestically mined source of antimony, essential for clean energy and defense supply chains.

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (“Perpetua Resources” or “Perpetua” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company expects the United States Forest Service (“USFS”) to publish a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“SDEIS” or “Supplemental DEIS”) for public review and comment in early Q3 2022.

Supplemental DEIS Progress

During the last 18 months, the USFS and cooperating agencies have performed an extensive review of Perpetua’s refined proposed action. In this time, the USFS has made substantial progress in analyzing the project refinements and preparing chapters of the preliminary SDEIS for interagency review. Perpetua anticipates the preliminary SDEIS will be circulated for cooperating agency review in Q2 2022 with a public release of the SDEIS to follow shortly thereafter.

In support of the USFS’s preparation of the Supplemental DEIS, Perpetua has responded to more than 850 comments and numerous requests for additional information, including additional water modeling, sensitivity analyses, fisheries modeling, and habitat analysis. The USFS has also nearly completed all of the 17 specialist reports for cooperating agency review. Perpetua is confident that the additional evaluation contained within the SDEIS will directly address issues raised during the public review of the 2020 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“DEIS”) and believes the additional analysis and detailed review will lead to the USFS designating a preferred alternative in the SDEIS.

“For over a year, the Perpetua team has worked diligently with regulators to incorporate public feedback into our proposed project design,” said Laurel Sayer, President and CEO of Perpetua Resources. “We are eager to show how our improvements are designed to leave water quality and overall habitat in this historic mining district in better shape than they are in today while also responsibly producing the mineral and metals critical for our national interests. We anticipate the hard work and commitment to a thorough and transparent process will pay dividends as our project advances.”

The comprehensive scientific analysis by the USFS and cooperating agencies, combined with the additional public review of the SDEIS, fortify the rigorous process mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"). The USFS is expected to provide a formal schedule update later this year and Pepertua remains committed to supporting a thorough and efficient NEPA process by the USFS.

Critical Project for the American Future

As a strategic defense mineral and a key component for grid storage battery technology, securing a domestic supply of antimony is more important than ever. The U.S. Geological Survey recently reported that foreign reliance is growing, with China, Russia and Tajikistan controlling 90% of the world supply of antimony and no domestically mined sources (USGS, 2022 Mineral Commodity Summary).

“Responsible mining is the first link in a more resilient and secure supply chain,” said Laurel Sayer, President and CEO of Perpetua Resources. “We are taking actions to ensure the environmental and social outcomes of the Stibnite Gold Project meet the demand for a responsible source of antimony to secure our nation’s defense and energy supply chains.”

PERPETUA ANNOUNCES ANTIMONY SUPPLY AGREEMENT FOR AMBRI BATTERY PRODUCTION

View PDF

Perpetua’s Antimony Will Power Ambri’s Low-Cost Battery for Long-Duration, Daily Cycling Energy Storage

Committed Amount Sufficient to Generate Over 13 Gigawatt Hours of Storage, Equivalent to Over 8x the Size of the Entire US Energy Storage Market in 2020

Solidifies Perpetua’s Standing as a Leading ESG-Focused Mining Company Enabling the Green Energy Transition & Restoring the Environment

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (“Perpetua Resources” or the “Company”) has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) to supply a portion of antimony production from the Stibnite Gold Project to Ambri Inc. (“Ambri”), establishing the foundation to help facilitate the decarbonization of energy grids in the U.S. and around the world. Perpetua’s Stibnite Gold Project, located in central Idaho, will provide Ambri with antimony from the only responsible and domestically mined source of the critical mineral in the U.S.

Ambri, a U.S. company, has developed an antimony-based, low-cost liquid metal battery for the stationary, long-duration, daily cycling energy storage market. Ambri batteries combine technological innovation with commercial applications for low-cost, long lifespan and safe energy storage systems that will increase the overall contribution from renewable sources to help enable the transition to green, carbon-free power grids.

“This agreement is a meaningful step in support of the current administration’s goal of achieving 100% clean electricity in the U.S., while prioritizing the domestic manufacturing of battery technology,” said Laurel Sayer, CEO of Perpetua Resources. “Perpetua continues to show how a modern mining company can not only be an essential part of the clean energy value chain, but also be key to the solution to the world’s climate challenges.”

The signing of the Agreement coincides with Ambri’s announcement that it secured $144 million in new financing led by Reliance New Energy Solar Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited), Paulson & Co. Inc., Bill Gates, Fortistar and Goehring & Rozencwajg Associates. Additionally, Reliance has been chosen as Ambri’s joint venture partner for battery development in India as part of its broader plans to invest $10 billion to develop the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex. The capital raise will be used to accelerate the commercialization of Ambri’s leading liquid metal battery and build a domestic manufacturing facility to fundamentally change the way power grids operate.

“We are pleased to announce our partnership with Perpetua, which helps Ambri scale production of its leading battery technology” said Dan Leff, Executive Chairman of Ambri. “Ambri is well positioned to become the lowest cost producer of energy storage batteries, a critical building block enabling the transition to an entirely renewable power grid. Ambri recognizes the strategic importance of antimony as a leading metal in the green energy transformation and supports the responsible production of critical metals, especially within the United States.”

The Agreement contains certain standard commercial terms which contain options for treatment, refining, transport, and tolling charges. The minimum commitment of Perpetua’s antimony production for Ambri’s battery manufacturing is expected to power over 13 Gigawatt hours of battery capacity, which is equivalent to over 8 times the total additions to the entire U.S. energy storage market in 2020.

The Agreement contains a provision for fixed pricing and higher volumes that can be mutually agreed to by both parties. Perpetua and Ambri will also collaborate to identify opportunities to lower carbon emissions in their respective operations with the use of renewable energy combined with battery storage.

“Today’s agreement directly links the redevelopment of the Stibnite Gold Project – and the restoration of the site - to a new battery manufacturing partner that is poised to play a critical role in reducing carbon emissions,” said Sayer. “Our partnership with Ambri significantly increases the strategic and long-term value of our project and breathes further life into our guiding ESG principles.”

Perpetua continues to engage with other potential end users of antimony and will provide updates as they become available.

U.S. FOREST SERVICE ADVANCES PERPETUA RESOURCES’ PROPOSED ACTION, ELIMINATING ALTERNATIVES, WITH SCHEDULE UPDATE FOR TARGETED NEPA COMPLETION

View PDF

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (Perpetua Resources) today announced that the United States Forest Service (USFS) is advancing Perpetua Resources’ modified proposed action in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and updated the permitting schedule for the Stibnite Gold Project (the Project).

The Project is designed to use responsible mining to develop a world-class gold mine, restore an abandoned mine site, provide the United States with the only domestic source of the critical mineral antimony and contribute to the economic success of Idaho. Perpetua Resources’ modified proposed action was submitted to USFS in December 2020 as the “Modified Plan of Restoration and Operations 2” (ModPRO2) and represents refinements to Alternative 2 of the August 2020 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The refined plan incorporates stakeholder feedback on the DEIS and is designed to reduce the project footprint and improve environmental outcomes. Modifications include the elimination of waste rock storage areas, overall reductions in mined material, additional pit backfilling and restoration, and improvements to water quality and water temperature. The USFS’s decision advances Perpetua Resources’ improved and preferred Project design in the NEPA process and sets the Project on a clear path to a final permitting decision.

Importantly, the USFS will focus on Perpetua Resources’ ModPRO2 and the two identified access routes for the remainder of the NEPA process, eliminating DEIS Alternatives 1 and 3 from further consideration. In order to ensure a full analysis of the refined Project, the USFS plans to issue a targeted Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) and provide the public and cooperating agencies the opportunity to review and comment on the additional analysis.

“We are pleased the USFS is advancing our proposed action forward and establishing a well-defined path towards a Record of Decision,” said Laurel Sayer, President & CEO of Perpetua Resources. “These actions expressly integrate public input and additional analysis in the process, reduce the Project’s environmental effects, and enhance our restoration and community objectives.”

Perpetua Resources is confident that the additional analysis in the SDEIS will demonstrate the advantages of ModPRO2 and looks forward to continued engagement with the USFS and all relevant stakeholders as the NEPA process is finalized. The Project schedule update includes that the SDEIS will be released in Q1 2022, a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and draft Record of Decision will be published in Q4 2022, and a final Record of Decision will be issued in the first half of 2023.

The NEPA process is intended to ensure that federal agencies are informed of a proposed action’s potential environmental impacts before making final decisions regarding the action. The rigorous scientific analysis during the preparation of the DEIS and the comments from the public and cooperating agencies provided during the extended 75-day public comment period brought forward concepts that could improve the environmental outcomes of the Project. Perpetua Resources listened to this feedback, evaluated the feasibility and potential benefits of these concepts, and submitted modifications of the proposed plan (Alternative 2 in the DEIS) to the USFS. The proposed improvements, which reduce the Project footprint and are predicted to improve water quality conditions at the site during and after Project operations, have been incorporated in Perpetua Resources’ 2020 Feasibility Study. These refinements will now be analyzed further in the SDEIS.

“It was important to Perpetua Resources that we listen and act upon feedback provided by community members, tribes, environmental groups and cooperating agencies,” said Sayer. “Incorporating their ideas and additional refinements into the proposed action results in a better Project, is the most efficient way to bring the Project to life longer-term and is the right thing to do for all stakeholders.”

Growing bipartisan support for and the White House’s recent recognition of the importance of responsible domestic production of critical minerals to our national and economic security and green energy transition, signals renewed optimism for projects like the Stibnite Gold Project. The Perpetua Resources team remains committed to advancing the Stibnite Gold Project as efficiently as possible, so its full benefits can be achieved for all stakeholders.

More details about proposed Project refinements can be found here.

Perpetua Resources Signs Collaboration Agreement with U.S. Antimony to Explore Potential to Process Antimony from the Stibnite Gold Project

View PDF

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (“Perpetua Resources” or the “Company”) announces it has signed a collaboration agreement (the “Agreement”) with United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE: UAMY)(“USAC”) to study the potential for processing the Stibnite Gold Project’s antimony concentrate at USAC’s processing facilities. Perpetua Resources is in the process of permitting America’s only mined source of antimony. It is estimated the Stibnite Gold Project has the potential to supply approximately 35 percent of American antimony demand in the first six years of production1.

“Critical minerals are the building blocks of a strong domestic supply chain and play a key role in our transition to a greener economy,” said Laurel Sayer, CEO of Perpetua Resources. “America has the brainpower, spirit of innovation and work ethic to continue to solve some of the world’s toughest problems. However, we lack the minerals and materials we need to bring those solutions to life. Perpetua Resources can play a key role in re-establishing domestic antimony production and protecting America’s energy, technology and defense future.”

The Agreement outlines a plan for the Company to send samples of Stibnite’s antimony concentrate to the facilities owned by USAC to study the viability of entering into a long-term partnership to secure the domestic sourcing of the critical mineral antimony.

Antimony is one of 35 federally designated critical minerals for its use in the national defense, technology and green energy sectors. It has also been named a critical mineral in Canada, Australia and the European Union. Antimony strengthens alloys and makes them resistant to corrosion. It is used in munitions for national defense, flame retardants, wind and hydro turbines, solar panels, large storage batteries, spaceships, cell phones, semiconductors, plastics and cable sheathing.

Currently, there is no mined source of antimony in the United States. The Stibnite Gold Project, along with USAC’s domestic processing abilities, presents an opportunity to re-establish the American supply chain of this critical mineral. China, Russia and Tajikistan control the overwhelming majority of the world’s antimony, supplying more than 90 percent of the global production.2

Perpetua Resources plans to host an in-depth webinar on the critical mineral antimony at 12:00 p.m. EDT or 10:00 a.m. MDT on May 4, 2021. Please RSVP here. More information can also be found at https://perpetuaresources.com/antimony/.

PERPETUA RESOURCES WORKS ALONGSIDE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENT WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM

View PDF

BOISE, ID – Perpetua Resources Corp. (formerly Midas Gold Corp.) (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) (Perpetua Resources or the company) is advancing its ESG goals to further bring transparency to its Stibnite Gold Project (project) by participating in a water quality monitoring program led by local citizens. The Independent Water Monitoring Program (IWMP) is an initiative of the Stibnite Advisory Council, which represents eight local communities surrounding the proposed Stibnite Gold Project. The initiative is designed to promote accountability measures around Perpetua Resources’ existing water quality monitoring efforts and give the community access to independent information through conducting third-party data gathering and reporting. Perpetua agreed to participate in the program based upon the company’s long-standing commitment to transparency and its recognition of the important role such programs play in deepening community trust.

“We have always been committed to sharing information about our project with the community,” said Laurel Sayer, CEO of Perpetua Resources Corp. “We applaud the Stibnite Advisory Council for launching this initiative to conduct an independent program at site which will allow community representatives to participate in water monitoring and to verify the conditions facing the abandoned Stibnite Mining District today and into the future. We are proud to continue living our values and further strengthen ourselves as a community partner and a responsible mining company.”

The Stibnite Advisory Council was formed in 2019 and was designed to give community members a voice with Perpetua Resources and an opportunity to resolve challenges and partner on opportunities directly with the company. IWMP is the Council’s largest public initiative to date.

“Having access to clean water and pristine rivers is a value all Idahoans share, and it is one the Stibnite Advisory Council feels a strong obligation to protect,” said Riggins Stibnite Advisory Council member, Bob Crump. “After community members expressed concerns over the potential impacts to water quality and a desire to see more data, we decided it was important to launch the Independent Water Monitoring Program.”

The Stibnite Advisory Council will contract with the University of Idaho’s Water Resources Research Institute to undertake the independent water quality monitoring and reporting. During the first year of the program, the Stibnite Advisory Council will test water temperature, pH levels, conductivity, and elemental presence. All the collected samples will be provided to a lab certified by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Stibnite Advisory Council plans to monitor ground and surface water at 18 different locations throughout the site. Perpetua Resources will collect samples from these same locations, at the same time as the Stibnite Advisory Council, in order to give Idahoans two comparative data sets. The first samples are currently set to be collected this year.

Initially, monitoring will be conducted by Idaho’s Water Resources Research Institute. However, the Stibnite Advisory Council is working to expand the program to include community representatives who could also observe the sample collection and vouch for the integrity and independence of the process. Once those details are finalized, they will be announced on the Stibnite Advisory Council’s website.

Perpetua has adopted a formal ESG policy and continues to improve and advance the Company’s initiatives regarding environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance. Our ESG policy, and more details about how the company puts these commitments into action, can be found here.
