Equity financing & project funding analyst

Perpetua launched a $70 million U.S. offering to fund Stibnite development; Agnico plans pro rata participation.

Perpetua Resources is raising capital through a public offering of common shares totaling $70 million, with a concurrent private placement indicated by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited under an Investor Rights Agreement. The stated use of proceeds is construction and development of the Stibnite Gold Project, excess working capital needs, exploration, restoration and general corporate purposes, and the offer will be executed under the company’s effective Form S-3 shelf in the U.S.

The immediate business mechanism is straightforward: equity issuance increases available project capital while diluting existing common equity. Dependence points and risks are explicit and factual — completion of the public Offering, customary closing conditions for the Concurrent Private Placement, and reliance on the Form S-3 shelf and applicable exemptions in Canada. Monitor the actual offering price, the final size sold, whether Agnico completes its Concurrent Private Placement, and near-term filing updates such as the prospectus supplement and closing notices; these items should resolve within the offering period and customary syndication timeline.

BOISE, ID, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA) ("Perpetua Resources" or the "Company") today announced the launch of a $70 million public offering of common shares, no par value, of the Company (the "Common Shares") in the United States (the "Offering"). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2025, between the Company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico"), Agnico has indicated that it intends to exercise its pro rata participation right with respect to the Offering in a concurrent private placement at the public offering price of the Offering (the "Concurrent Private Placement").

The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement to fund the construction and development of the Stibnite Gold Project (the "Project"), working capital costs in excess of the Project capital costs, continuing exploration and development activities, restoration and reclamation work, and for general corporate purposes.

The Common Shares will be offered by the Company with BMO Capital Markets, National Bank of Canada Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets acting as joint book-running managers (collectively, the "Underwriters").

In connection with the Offering, an underwriting agreement will be entered into by and between Perpetua Resources and BMO Capital Markets as representative of the several Underwriters.

The Offering to the public in the United States is being made pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, including a base prospectus, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Alternatively, copies of the preliminary prospectus supplement and the base prospectus may be obtained from BMO Capital Markets Corp., Attn: Equity Syndicate Department, 151 W 42nd Street, 32nd Floor, New York, NY 10036. The Offering may also be conducted in Canada and in offshore jurisdictions on a private placement basis in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Company intends to rely on the exemption in section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual in respect of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement as an eligible interlisted issuer.

The consummation of the Concurrent Private Placement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the completion of the Offering, but the Offering is not contingent upon the consummation of the Concurrent Private Placement. We cannot assure you that the Concurrent Private Placement will be completed. The sale of the Common Shares under the Concurrent Private Placement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
