U.S. Forest Service Chooses Perpetua Resources' Proposed Stibnite Gold Project As Preferred Alternative

BOISE, ID - Perpetua Resources Corp. announced that the United States Forest Service (USFS) has released the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) on the Stibnite Gold Project  for public comment and has identified Perpetua's proposed action, the "Modified Mine Plan," as the Preferred Alternative. Identification of the Preferred Alternative by the USFS is a major milestone in the advancement of the Project and provides clarity for the remainder of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.  

"The Stibnite Gold Project is one step closer to restoring an abandoned mine site, providing hundreds of family-wage jobs for Idahoans, producing the only domestic mined source of antimony to protect our national security, and supporting America's clean energy transition," said Laurel Sayer, President and CEO of Perpetua Resources. "Perpetua submitted an initial plan of restoration and operations six years ago and our team has worked tirelessly to develop a responsible, modern mining project that can have a positive impact on Idaho and our nation. We have listened to community feedback and the process has made our plan even better."
