US EditionDischarge Permit for Idaho's Stibnite Gold Project Approved by Army Corps of Engineers
- On May 19, 2025, the final Section 404 permit under the Clean Water Act needed for the Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho was granted by the federal agency responsible for regulating discharges into waters.
- This permit concludes eight years of federal interagency review required to advance construction of the project, with Perpetua now finalizing state permits and securing financing.
- The project aims to redevelop a historic mining district, restore environmental habitats, and produce about 4.8 million ounces of gold and 148 million pounds of critical antimony.
- Perpetua’s CEO Jon Cherry said the permit marks the end of extensive study and permitting, and the project could supply 35% of U.S. Antimony demand, enhancing national security and job creation.
- The permit allows discharge activities but does not authorize mining operations until remaining approvals are complete, while opponents raise environmental and sovereign land concerns.
