Perpetua Resources

A U.S. District Court in Idaho denied an injunction sought by activist groups, allowing construction to proceed on Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Gold Project. The project is expected to produce significant antimony (about 115 million pounds), plus gold and silver, and is viewed by the Pentagon as critical to restoring domestic antimony supplies by 2029. Developers emphasize extensive environmental remediation and reclamation plans for the historically disturbed site. The ruling reduces near-term legal risk but further litigation may continue. » Plus sur forbes.com
