Perpetua Resources has announced that the United States Forest Service (USFS) has issued the Final ROD authorising the mine plan for the Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho.

This approval marks a significant permitting milestone after eight years of comprehensive investigation, interagency analysis, consultation and public feedback regarding the proposed mine operations.

Perpetua Resources president and CEO Jon Cherry said: “We are thrilled to receive our Final Record of Decision from the Forest Service.

“This approval elevates the Stibnite Gold Project to an elite class of projects in America that have cleared NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act]. The Stibnite Gold Project can deliver decisive wins for our communities, the environment, the economy and our national security.”

With the receipt of the Final ROD, Perpetua Resources is now focused on advancing the Stibnite Gold Project towards a construction decision.

This includes finalising the remaining federal and state permits and securing project financing.
