U.S. Secretary of Labor, Idaho Governor Visit Perpetua Resources to Discuss Stibnite Gold Project Importance to Securing U.S. Jobs and Critical Minerals
Stibnite Gold Project Listed as a White House Transparency Project Perpetua Anticipates 550+ Direct Jobs in Idaho during operations Perpetua Announces Stibnite Launch Scholarship with College of Western Idaho BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 6, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Idaho Governor Brad Little met with Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA) ("Perpetua Resources" or "Perpetua" or the "Company") in Valley County, Idaho to discuss the Stibnite Gold Project's strategic importance to the United States and Perpetua's plans to provide family-wage, in-demand jobs to rural Idaho during the construction and operations of the Stibnite Gold Project. During the visit, Perpetua Resources announced a new education and job training partnership with the College of Western Idaho (CWI). The Secretary's visit underscores the Trump administration's focus on domestic critical mineral projects that are essential to U.S. national security, like the Stibnite Gold Project. The Stibnite Gold Project is designed to restore the environment, provide family-wage jobs to rural Idaho, and produce gold and the critical mineral antimony. The Stibnite Gold Project, which was identified as a "Transparency Project" by the National Economic Development Council, is expected to provide the United States its only domestically mined source of the critical mineral antimony. Given antimony's essential role in hundreds of defense applications, the Department of Defense has granted Perpetua Resources more than $80 million to date to advance the Stibnite Gold Project. "Perpetua is committed to Idaho," said Jon Cherry, CEO of Perpetua Resources. "We want our project to benefit local communities, and one of the most tangible ways we can do that is by providing meaningful, well-paying careers. For years, we have been laying the foundation – providing internships, working with local schools and investing in career education for local students – and soon we intend to offer quality, family-wage jobs to hundreds of Idaho workers at the Stibnite Gold Project. It was a true honor to host U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Governor Brad Little and tell them about our efforts to bring jobs to rural Idaho." "The Stibnite Gold Project represents exactly the kind of American-led initiative we need to secure our critical mineral supply chains, strengthen national security, and create in-demand, mortgage-paying jobs," said Secretary Chavez-DeRemer. "Under President Trump's leadership, the U.S. Department of Labor is committed to working with employers like Perpetua to ensure they have the skilled workforce they need to ramp up domestic production. I'd like to thank Governor Little and Perpetua Resources for hosting me today and providing an update on this important project, which fulfills our mission to put American workers first." To advance Perpetua's commitment to hiring locally, during the Secretary and Governor's visit, Perpetua Resources announced the creation of the Stibnite Launch Scholarship to support CWI's Geosciences Department, helping prepare students with real-world, hands-on training for rewarding, high-skill jobs in Idaho's mining sector. Perpetua presented CWI with a $250,000 check to fund scholarships for 12 or more CWI Geosciences and Mining Technician students each year for the next three years and at least three students per year thereafter. "Partnerships like this between Idaho businesses and our higher education institutions mean we can keep jobs, economic benefits, and expertise right here in Idaho. I appreciate Perpetua Resources for its commitment to supporting students and families and strengthening rural Idaho," Governor Little said. Designed to complement the Idaho LAUNCH grant program, which provides students a one-time opportunity to have 80 percent of their tuition and fees covered at an eligible institution, the Stibnite Launch Scholarship can fund the remaining 20 percent of a CWI student recipient's tuition and fees, closing the funding gap and providing financial relief to [eligible students. "CWI is proud to be named the official education partner of Perpetua Resources," said CWI President Gordon Jones. "This partnership expands hands-on learning and workforce opportunities for our students, while also supporting the economic vitality of Idaho. By working together, we are preparing Idahoans for essential careers and ensuring our communities thrive for generations to come." Idaho LAUNCH was created by Governor Little in 2023 to help Idaho students receive the training they needed to fill rewarding, well-paying jobs in the state. To date, nearly 11,000 Idaho graduating high school seniors and over 10,000 adults have taken advantage of LAUNCH grants. During their visit, Secretary Chavez-DeRemer and Governor Little held a roundtable discussion with Perpetua Resources, project partners, and local education leaders to learn more about the opportunities mining is creating for Idahoans. Roundtable participants encouraged permitting reform to advance critical mining projects and pointed to LAUNCH as an essential program to advance Idaho's workforce readiness. Since her appointment as U.S. Secretary of Labor, Chavez-DeRemer has prioritized putting American workers first. As part of her "America at Work" listening tour, Secretary Chavez-DeRemer has traveled across the country to meet with American businesses and workers to identify the skills and training programs our country needs to power the economy. Her stop in Valley County, Idaho, demonstrates her ongoing commitment to understanding the labor needs of Idaho's rural workforce and underscores how the Stibnite Gold Project can fuel the region's economic success.

Inc., a long-standing strategic investor Perpetua intends to use the proceeds from both the public offering and the private placement to support the development of its flagship Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho Perpetua Resources stock (TSX:PPTA) last traded at C$2.41 Perpetua Resources (TSX:PPTA) has successfully closed its upsized public offering of 24,622,000 common shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately US$325 million at a price of US$13.20 per share. At the same time, the company completed a US$100 million private placement of 7,575,757 common shares to Paulson & Co. Inc., a long-standing strategic investor. The public offering was led by National Bank of Canada Financial Markets and BMO Capital Markets as joint lead bookrunning managers. RBC Capital Markets and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. served as joint bookrunning managers, with B. Riley Securities, CIBC Capital Markets, H.C. Wainwright & Co., Roth Capital Partners, and Scotiabank acting as co-managers. Perpetua intends to use the proceeds from both the public offering and the private placement to support the development of its flagship Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho. The funds will contribute toward equity requirements for a previously announced application for up to US$2 billion in project financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), submitted in May 2025. Additional proceeds will be allocated to exploration, working capital, and general corporate purposes. In a media statement, the company noted that EXIM's due diligence process is ongoing, with a potential debt financing close anticipated in 2026. If successful, the combined equity and debt financing, along with a proposed royalty or streaming agreement, is expected to fully fund the estimated US$2.2 billion construction cost of the Stibnite Gold Project. Perpetua is also in advanced negotiations to secure a US$155 million guarantee and indemnification to meet reclamation bonding requirements. In exchange, the company is considering issuing a gold net smelter return (NSR) royalty of up to 3.9% or a gold stream, with potential buyback provisions. This financial assurance is expected to satisfy federal and state permitting conditions and enable construction to begin later in 2025. The underwriters have also been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,693,300 common shares, which could increase the gross proceeds of the offering to approximately US$374 million if fully exercised. Perpetua Resources explores, restores and redevelops gold-antimony-silver deposits in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district of central Idaho.

Perpetua secures $6.9m defence funding to advance domestic antimony supply
Perpetua Resources has received up to $6.9m in additional funding from the US Army through the Defence Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC). The funds will be used to test the feasibility of using material from Perpetua's Stibnite Gold Project to produce military-specification antimony trisulfide. This funding is a continuation of the $15.5m awarded in August 2023 under an Ordnance Technology Initiative Agreement (OTIA). The supplemental award will expand the research already under way and support the US Army's goal of establishing a fully domestic "ground-to-round" antimony trisulfide supply chain. The OTIA aims to fund the development and delivery of a flexible, modular pilot plant to the US Army to process antimony and other materials of interest to the Department of Defense (DOD). Under the OTIA, Perpetua will be reimbursed on a cost-plus fixed fee basis through the end of 2026. The total funding of up to $22.4m under the OTIA may be adjusted by the DOTC as the programme progresses. Perpetua is entitled to be reimbursed for all costs incurred under the agreement. With this additional funding, Perpetua Resources will expand material sampling and enhance the pilot plant's scope and size. Perpetua Resources president and CEO Jon Cherry said: 'We are honoured to continue our work with the US Army to secure a domestic source of antimony trisulfide. 'Advancing America's capabilities to process minerals critical to national defence is essential for our long-term mineral independence and resilience. We are proud to play our part in furthering the Army's 'ground-to-round' critical minerals strategy.' This award is part of a broader partnership with the DOD to secure domestic sources of critical minerals. Perpetua has now received more than $80m in total from the Department of Defense. The Stibnite Gold Project is expected to supply up to 35% of US antimony demand in its first six years, based on the 2023 US Geological Survey antimony commodity summary. This funding comes at a critical time, as China, which dominates the global antimony market, ceased exports to the US in 2024. The project will not only support national security but also generate jobs, improve water quality and address environmental issues at an abandoned mine site, according to the company. Recently, Perpetua applied to the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for up to $2bn in potential debt financing for the construction of the Stibnite Gold Project. EXIM's due diligence and review will follow to determine the project's eligibility under its initiatives.
