Perpetua Resources Launches Pilot Plant With US Army to Advance Domestic Antimony Supply Perpetua Resources, the US Army and Idaho National Laboratory have launched a modular pilot plant to process antimony trisulfide using samples from the Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho, which is described as the only identified domestic reserve of this critical mineral.
The project is intended to support a secure US antimony supply chain for military and industrial uses, linking Perpetua’s resource base directly to national security and reducing reliance on foreign sources.
Perpetua Resources’ shares trade at about CA$25.78, with the stock down about 30.9% over the past 90 days, which frames this announcement against a period of weaker recent share performance.
This pilot plant ties Perpetua Resources’ future more closely to US defense and critical minerals policy, which could affect funding access, permitting priorities and long‑term offtake risk if the initiative progresses beyond testing. Live News • Jul 04
Perpetua Resources Faces Probe Into Potential Fiduciary Duty Breaches by Insiders Halper Sadeh LLC, an investor rights law firm, has opened an investigation into whether certain officers and directors of Perpetua Resources breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders, with potential outcomes including governance reforms, return of funds, financial incentive awards or other relief.
The firm says the probe is aimed at improving transparency and accountability at Perpetua Resources. If issues are identified, this could lead to changes in board oversight, executive incentives or internal controls.
