Perpetua Resources (Nasdaq: PPTA) announced today that the United States Forest Service said Perpetua’s proposed action mine plan is the government agency's preferred alternative.
Perpetua called the announcement a milestone. Perpetua is advancing the Stibnite gold project in central Idaho.
“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.”
