The U.S. Forest Service published the Final Environmental Impact Statement and issued a Draft Record of Decision, marking significant progress in the permitting process. The company received Final Biological Opinions from both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service. RBC Capital Markets and Endeavour Financial were engaged to evaluate strategic opportunities and support the $1.8 billion U.S. EXIM Letter of Interest.

Perpetua Resources (Nasdaq: PPTA) announced that the U.S. Forest Service will publish the Final Environmental Impact Statement and a favorable Draft Record of Decision for the Stibnite Gold Project. This decision authorizes the project, which aims to become a world-class gold mine and the only U.S. mined source of antimony, a critical mineral. The project is expected to produce over 450,000 ounces of gold annually in the first four years and has a reserve of 148 million pounds of antimony. The decision comes just before China's antimony export restrictions take effect, highlighting the project's strategic importance for U.S. national security and clean energy applications.

China's new export controls on critical minerals, set to take effect on September 15, 2024, are raising concerns about global supply chain implications. The changes directly impact the tungsten market and could signal potential future restrictions. This comes as the United States needs to increase its critical mineral usage tenfold for clean energy transition.

In response, mining companies are working to improve critical mineral production outside China:

• Troy Minerals Inc. (CSE: TROY) acquired two high-purity silica assets and is developing vanadium and rare earth element projects.
