This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Purpose and Use: Brief description of the purpose of the transaction: To finance the redevelopment of gold-antimony-silver-tungsten critical mineral deposits in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district of central Idaho under EXIM's Make More in America initiative.
This project advances U.S. leadership in critical minerals by expanding domestic resource development for materials that are foundational to defense systems, energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing.
The transaction is expected to enhance supply chain resilience, reduce reliance on foreign sources for strategic minerals—particularly antimony—and support high-quality U.S. jobs.
Brief non-proprietary description of the anticipated use of the items being exported: The financing will be used for domestic purposes and will result in the export of gold doré bars and antimony concentrate to overseas processing facilities. These materials will be refined into gold bullion and processed into antimony metal and derivative products that serve as essential inputs for U.S. industrial and national security applications. Applications for antimony include semiconductors and lead-acid batteries. As domestic antimony processing becomes available, concentrate will be treated domestically.
Parties:
Principal Supplier: Various U.S. Entities.
Obligor: Perpetua Resources Idaho Inc.
Guarantor(s): Perpetua Resources Corp.
Description of Items Being Exported: The items being exported will be gold doré and antimony concentrate.
Information on Decision: Information on the final decision for this transaction will be available in the “Summary Minutes of Meetings of Board of Directors” on https://www.exim.gov/news/meeting-minutes.
Confidential Information: Please note that this notice does not include confidential or proprietary business information; information which, if disclosed, would violate the Trade Secrets Act; or information which would jeopardize jobs in the United ( printed page 15611) States by supplying information that competitors could use to compete with companies in the United States.
