Perpetua Resources said the Stibnite gold project in Idaho has been selected as a Transparency Project in response to President Donald Trump’s recent executive order (see page 4) aimed at strengthening American mineral production.
As one of just 10 initial U.S. projects selected by the National Energy Dominance Council for placement on the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council dashboard, the Stibnite gold project will have access to increased interagency transparency, coordination and oversight.
“Being recognized as a Transparency Project by the White House underscores the immense strategic value of the Stibnite gold project,” said Jon Cherry, president and CEO of Perpetua Resources.
“We are honored by this selection, which validates the urgency and importance of our Project for America’s economic and national security. We stand ready to restore the site and bolster American mineral independence.”
Stibnite, with its recently secured Record of Decision from the U.S. Forest Service in January 2025, is uniquely positioned to supply the critical mineral antimony, which is essential to national security and energy technology.
The final federal decision, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Clean Water Act 404 permit, is on track for a decision in Q2 2025. The Stibnite gold project is located in the abandoned Stibnite Mining District in central Idaho, about 10 miles east of Yellow Pine and 100 miles northeast of Boise.
