Perpetua has secured nearly $75 million in Department of Defense awards and received a $1.8 billion Letter of Interest from EXIM.

Perpetua Resources (PPTA) welcomes President Trump's Executive Order aimed at strengthening domestic mineral production and reducing U.S. foreign mineral dependence. The company's Stibnite Gold Project, which received a positive Record of Decision in January 2025, is set to become the only domestic source of antimony mining.
The Executive Order enables Defense Production Act usage and provides financing through U.S. Export-Import Bank, where Perpetua received a $1.8 billion Letter of Interest in 2024. The company is advancing studies with Sunshine Silver to develop an antimony processing facility in Idaho.
The project could supply up to 35% of annual U.S. antimony demand in its first six years. Perpetua has received over $70 million in Department of Defense awards. This initiative gains significance as China, which controls most global antimony processing, banned all antimony exports to the U.S. in 2024.
Perpetua Resources (NASDAQ: PPTA) released its 2024 Annual Report highlighting significant progress on the Stibnite Gold Project. Key achievements include receiving up to $34.4 million in Defense Production Act funding and securing indication for up to $1.8 billion financing from U.S. EXIM Bank.
The company completed several major milestones in 2024, including: zero lost time incidents, successful Annual General Meeting, publication of their 11th Sustainability Report, and appointment of Jonathan Cherry as President and CEO. The company also closed a $33.6M equity financing and established agreements with Sunshine Silver and U.S. Antimony for domestic antimony supply chain development.
In early 2025, the United States Forest Service issued the Final Record of Decision for the Project. The company also completed Basic Engineering, published a Financial Update, and initiated procurement with Idaho Power for power line equipment. The project aims to develop one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the U.S. while providing domestic antimony supply and restoring a brownfield site.
Perpetua Resources (PPTA) announced its inclusion in the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Index and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), effective March 21, 2025. This addition comes as part of GDXJ's quarterly rebalance.
The GDXJ is a globally recognized ETF tracking small-cap companies primarily involved in gold and silver development and mining. This inclusion is expected to enhance PPTA's common share liquidity and position the Stibnite Gold Project as an attractive investment opportunity, particularly as it represents the only potential mined source of antimony in the United States.
Perpetua Resources (NASDAQ: PPTA) has completed basic engineering and initiated detailed engineering for its Stibnite Gold Project, marking significant progress toward construction. The project demonstrates robust economics with a $3.7 billion after-tax NPV (5%) and 27% IRR at spot prices, or $1.4 billion NPV and 15.4% IRR at consensus prices.
The project is positioned to become the lowest-cost gold project in Tier 1 jurisdictions, with All-In Sustaining Costs averaging $435 per gold ounce in the first four years and under $760 over the mine's life. The project boasts a 4.8 million gold ounce reserve with annual production of approximately 300,000 ounces over 15 years.
Perpetua has signed a procurement contract with Idaho Power for powerline materials and could see an increase in its existing $1.8 billion EXIM Bank indication of interest due to a 15% increase in projected U.S. job creation.
Perpetua Resources (PPTA) commends Idaho Governor Brad Little's Executive Order 2025-02, the Strategic Permitting, Efficiency, and Economic Development (SPEED) Act. This initiative creates a SPEED Council to enhance inter-agency coordination and expedite permitting for critical projects while maintaining environmental standards.
The Act is particularly significant for Perpetua's Stibnite Gold Project, which is expected to create 550 jobs and provide a domestic source of antimony. The project could supply up to 35% of U.S. antimony demand in its first six years, with estimated reserves of 148 million pounds. This development becomes important following China's decision in late 2024 to halt antimony exports to the U.S., considering China controls nearly half of global antimony production.
Perpetua Resources (PPTA) has received final approval from the US Forest Service for its Stibnite Gold Project after 8 years of review. The project, located in central Idaho, will develop the only domestic antimony reserve in the US, alongside gold mining operations. The mine is expected to produce 450,000 ounces of gold annually in its first four years and contain a 4.8-million-ounce gold reserve.
The project includes environmental restoration of an abandoned mine site and is projected to provide over $1 billion in investment and 550 jobs to rural Idaho. The site's 148-million-pound antimony reserve is expected to supply approximately 35% of US demand in the first six years. This domestic supply gains strategic importance following China's 2024 decision to halt antimony exports globally.
The approved plan includes removing legacy waste, restoring river habitat, and increasing wetland areas. The project received over 23,000 supporting letters during public comment periods.
