Abstract

In September 2016, Stibnite re-entered the public consciousness; a century-old, battered war-hero with a visionary plan for ecologic restoration of legacy environmental impacts. Fueled by renewed mining including its namesake critical mineral resource, guided by modern reclamation and restoration objectives, and supported by robust study, modeling and design, the Stibnite Gold Project continues to proceed through the rigorous challenges of federal, state and local approval and permitting processes. As Perpetua Resources’ flagship project enters its eighth year of environmental review, an imminent Final EIS and Record of Decision set the stage for realizing one of Idaho’s most innovative and crucial mining projects.
