Why Perpetua Resources

The Stibnite Gold Project is designed to use responsible, modern mining to restore an abandoned mine and provide America with the ethically, sustainably sourced minerals we need for a more secure supply chain of precious metals and critical minerals.

U.S. CRITICAL MINERALS SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

Antimony is one of 35 federally listed critical minerals.

China & Russia dominate the world antimony supply (>80%).

TheU.S.hasnodomestic antimony production.

Perpetua Resources could re-establish domestic antimony production and protect America’s future.

A Green Economy Starts at the SourceListed as one of the 35 critical minerals by the U.S. Government, antimony is vital to U.S. national security and will support the transition to a green economy.

Based on the 2020 Feasibility Study the Stibnite Gold Project is expected to produce enough antimony to supply approximately 30% of

U.S. annual demand for the first six years of operations and approximately 24% of U.S. consumption over the first nine years of operations.
