Perpetua Resources Corp. has announced the submission of a formal application to the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for financing the Stibnite Gold Project. This follows the recent receipt of the final federal permit, the Clean Water Act Section 404 permit, from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, finalizing an eight-year interagency federal permitting process. The application requests up to $2 billion, an increase from the previous $1.8 billion Letter of Interest, to support the project's development costs and to secure a domestic source of antimony. If approved, this EXIM debt financing could cover a majority of the project's costs. No other organizations are mentioned as recipients of this funding.
