Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Technical Report Summary are forward-looking statements within the meaning of safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Technical Report Summary, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Technical Report Summary, the words anticipate, believe, expect, estimate, forecast, intend, likely, plan, potential, project, outlook, may, will, should, would, could, can, the negatives thereof, variations thereon and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on certain estimates, beliefs, expectations and assumptions made in light of managements experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that may be appropriate.
Statements concerning mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking information to the extent that such statements involve estimates of the mineralization that may be encountered if a property is developed.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information in connection with our economic analysis as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we disclose certain projected non-GAAP financial measures in this Technical Report Summary. The projected non-GAAP financial measures include expected Cash Costs, Total Cash Costs, AISC, AIC, Average Annual EBITDA and Annual Average Free Cash Flow (FCF) with respect to the expected results of the Project as presented in this Technical Report Summary.
We define Cash Costs as the sum of mining costs, processing costs, mine-level G&A and by-product credits; we define Total Cash Costs as the sum of Cash Costs, royalty costs, treatment costs, refining costs, and transportation costs; we define All-In Sustaining Costs as the sum of Total Cash Costs and sustaining capital costs (all costs required to sustain operations); we define All-In Costs as the sum of AISC, non-sustaining capital costs, and closure and reclamation capital costs; we define earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as total revenue minus operating costs, offsite charges and royalties; we define Free Cash Flow as EBITDA as adjusted for changes in net working capital, all capital expenditures (initial, sustaining, and closure capital expenditures), and salvage value; and we define After-Tax FCF as FCF less taxes payable. FCF does not entirely represent cash available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct payments required for debt service and other items. Annual averages of non-GAAP measures represent the total value of the non-GAAP measure divided by the number of years during the forecast period.
We believe the projected non-GAAP financial measures included in this Technical Report Summary provide additional meaningful comparisons between the Companys economic analysis and its peer companies. These projected non-GAAP financial measures are not historical measures of financial performance and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They may exclude items that will be significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative or superior to GAAP measures. You should be aware that our presentation of these measures have no standardized meaning under U.S GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
As the Project is not in production, the prospective non-GAAP financial measures are based on the estimated revenues, costs and other metrics set forth in this Technical Report Summary, and are subject to the assumptions, qualifications and exceptions set forth in this Technical Report Summary. The economic model included in this Technical Report Summary is not a true cash flow model as defined by financial accounting standards but rather a representation of Project economics at a level of detail appropriate for a pre-feasibility study level of engineering and design. As such, the projected non-GAAP measures included in this Technical Report Summary cannot be reconciled to comparable U.S. GAAP measures without unreasonable effort.

| | This TRS incorporates updates derived from recent and ongoing environmental baseline studies, permitting application submittals and authorizations, and other environmental compliance and regulatory activities. | |
| | The TRS integrates cost and technical data derived from recent and active contract negotiations relating to construction, professional services, and capital equipment procurement. | |
The TRS continues to be classified as a Preliminary Feasibility Study.
| 1.3 | Property Description and Location | |
The Project is located in central Idaho, USA approximately 100 miles (mi) northeast of Boise, Idaho, 38 mi east of McCall, Idaho, and approximately 10 mi east of Yellow Pine, Idaho. Mineral rights controlled by Perpetua Resources include patented lode claims, patented mill sites, unpatented federal lode claims, and unpatented federal mill sites and encompass approximately 29,340 acres or 46 square miles. The claims are 100% owned by Perpetua Resources, except for 27 patented lode claims that are held under an option to purchase and portions of six patented millsites. These terms relating to the nature of Perpetua Resources claims are consistent with the United States General Mining Law of 1872.
In agreements dated May 9, 2013 (and thereafter amended), Perpetua Resources granted a 1.7% NSR royalty on future gold production from the Project properties to Franco-Nevada Idaho Corporation (Franco-Nevada). This gold royalty does not apply to production of antimony and silver. In March 2024, a wholly owned subsidiary of Perpetua Resources, sold Franco-Nevada a 100% royalty on the future payable silver production from the Project which would become effective in year seven after commercial production commences. This silver royalty does not apply to the production of antimony and gold.
A number of independent legal opinions in respect of mineral title have been prepared on behalf of Perpetua in support of its initial listing as a public company, subsequent financings, and sale of royalties to third parties. The most recent legal opinion, dated April 25, 2019, was prepared by Jason Mau of the law firm of Parsons, Behle & Latimer, which was later updated on March 21, 2024, and again in June 2025, by the law firm of Hardee, Piol & Kracke, PLLC. These opinions reviewed the previous title work and historic and current ownership of the patented and unpatented lode mining and mill site claims owned or optioned Perpetua Resources Corporations subsidiary, Idaho Gold Resources Company LLC (IGRCLLC) an Idaho registered business entity. There are six partial patented millsites within the Project boundary owned by Hecla Mining Company or one of its affiliates (Hecla). Hecla retains some surface rights, but no mineral rights on portions of these claims and an affiliate of Perpetua retains a Right of First Refusal should Hecla decide to sell them. Perpetua Resources is exploring alternatives with respect to these partial millsites, which may include acquiring such property from Hecla.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 1.4 | Geological Setting and Mineralization | |
Bedrock in the region can be subdivided into the pre-Cretaceous metasedimentary basement, the Cretaceous Idaho Batholith, Tertiary intrusions and volcanics, and Quaternary unconsolidated sediments and glacial materials. The SGP is situated along the eastern edge of the Idaho Batholith, on the western edge of the Thunder Mountain caldera complex and within the Central Idaho Mineral Belt.
Large, north-south striking, steeply dipping structures exhibiting pronounced gouge and multiple stages of brecciation occur in the District and are often associated with east-west and northeast-southwest trending splays and dilatant structures.
The Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats deposits are hosted primarily by intrusive phases of the Idaho Batholith along the Meadow Creek Fault Zone. The West End Deposit is hosted primarily by Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Stibnite roof pendant along the West End Fault Zone.
Mineralization and alteration in the District are associated with multiple hydrothermal alteration events occurring through the Paleocene and early Eocene epochs. Main-stage gold mineralization and associated potassic alteration typically occurs in structurally prepared zones in association with very fine grained disseminated arsenical pyrite (FeS2) and, to a lesser extent, arsenopyrite (FeAsS), with gold almost exclusively in solid solution in these minerals. Antimony mineralization occurs primarily associated with mineral stibnite (Sb2S3). Additional gold mineralization effecting rocks of the Stibnite roof pendant is associated with epithermal quartz-adularia-carbonate veins.
Deposits of the District are not readily categorized based on a single genetic deposit model due to complexities associated with multiple overprinting mineralization events and uncertainties regarding sources of mineralizing hydrothermal fluids.
| 1.5 | Exploration | |
The District has been the subject of exploration and development activities for over 100 years, yet much of the area remains poorly explored due to its remote location, poor level of outcrop and extensive glacial cover. Perpetua has completed extensive exploration work over the last 15 years that has included: geophysics; rock, soil and stream sampling and analysis; geologic mapping; mineralogical and metallurgical studies; and drilling.
This newer data has been integrated with datasets from previous operators and provides a comprehensive toolkit for future exploration. These efforts have led to the identification of over 75 prospects with varying levels of target support. These prospective areas include targets within, under and adjacent to existing deposits; bulk mineable prospects along known or newly identified mineralized trends; high grade underground targets and early-stage greenfield prospects and conceptual targets based on geophysics or geologic inference. Details of some of the more promising targets are summarized in Section 7 of this Report.
Exploration targets include conceptual geophysical targets, geochemical targets from soil, rock and trench samples, and results from widely spaced drill holes; as a result, the potential size and tenor of the targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources on these prospects and this data may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will

establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The Project area, including the three main deposits, has been drilled by numerous operators, totaling 826,693 ft in 2864 drill holes, of which Perpetua drilled 778 holes totaling over 375,000 ft since 2009. Pre-Perpetua drilling was undertaken by a wide variety of methods and operators while Perpetua employed a variety of drilling methods including core, reverse circulation, auger, and sonic throughout the District, but with the primary method being core.
It is the opinion of the QP responsible for the Mineral Resource estimates that the data and methods used for estimating the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for the Hanger Flats, West End, Yellow Pine and Historical Tailings deposits is adequate for this purpose and may be relied upon to report the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves contained in the TRS.
| 1.6 | Mineral Resource Estimates | |
The Mineral Resource Statement presented herein represents a mineral resource evaluation prepared for Perpetua Resources in accordance with S-K 1300. This evaluation includes Mineral Resource estimates for the Projects three lode gold deposits: Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats and West End, and reports the Mineral Resource estimate for the Historical Tailings deposit.
The Mineral Resource estimates for each of the Hangar Flats, West End and Yellow Pine deposits, and the Historical Tailings, were prepared using commercial mine-modeling and geostatistical software, consider relevant modifying factors, and have been verified by the QP. The consolidated Mineral Resource statement for the Project in metric tonnes (t) is shown in Table 1-2 based on a gold selling price of US$1,500/troy ounce limiting pit shell.

Notes: **1.**All Mineral Resources have been estimated in accordance with S-K 1300. **2.**Mineral Resources are reported in relation to a conceptual pit shell to demonstrate potential for economic viability; mineralization lying outside of these pit shells is not reported as a Mineral Resource. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. These Mineral Resource estimates include Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is also no certainty that these inferred Mineral Resources will be converted to the Indicated category through further drilling, or into Mineral Reserves once economic considerations are applied. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate and therefore numbers may not appear to add precisely. **3.**Open-pit sulfide Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t Au and open pit oxide Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t Au. **4.

The Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats deposits contain zones with substantially elevated antimony-silver mineralization, defined as containing greater than 0.1% antimony, relative to the overall mineral resource. The existing Historical Tailings Mineral Resource also contains elevated concentrations of antimony. These higher-grade antimony zones are reported separately in Table 1-3 to illustrate the potential for antimony production from the Project and are contained within the overall mineral resource estimates reported herein. Antimony zones are reported only if they lie within gold mineral resource estimates.

| 1.7 | Mineral Reserve Estimates | |
The Mineral Reserve estimates for the Project were estimated in conformity with the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO) International Reporting Template for the public reporting of Exploration Targets, Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and are reported in accordance with S-K 1300. The Mineral Reserve estimates for each of the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End deposits, and the Historical Tailings, were prepared to industry standards and best practices and take into consideration modifying factors including mining, processing, metallurgical, environmental, location and infrastructure, market factors, legal, economic, social, and governmental factors. The Mineral Reserve estimates are based on a mine plan and pit design developed using modifying parameters including metal price, metal recovery based on performance of the processing plant, and operating cost estimates.
The Mineral Reserve was developed by allowing only Indicated Mineral Resource blocks to contribute positive economic value and is a subset of the Mineral Resource comprised of the Probable Mineral Reserve that is planned for processing over the life-of-mine plan, with assumptions summarized in Sections 12 and 13 of this Report. No economic credit has been applied to Inferred mineralization in the development of the Mineral Reserve, even if they lie within the Mineral Reserve pit.
The mine design included in this TRS, including the mine features, mining methods, process and recovery methods, and infrastructure, are generally consistent with the 2021 Modified Mine Plan which was approved by the Forest Service in January 2025 in its final Record of Decision and was incorporated by Perpetua Resources in its Plan of Operations that was approved by the Forest Service in October 2025. The Clean Water Act Section 404 permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in May 2025 and various state permits issued as of December 31, 2025, are also generally based on this 2021 Modified Mine Plan.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The general mine planning sequence to produce the Mineral Reserve estimates, and associated mill feed schedule consisted of an ultimate pit limit analysis, pit shell selection, ultimate pit designs, internal pit phase design, mining sequence schedule, and mill feed optimization. A suite of nested pit shells for each deposit was generated using Geovia Whittle and a gold selling price ranging from $100 to $2,000 per troy ounce in $50 increments. The pit limit analysis was performed based on gold recovery only, to ensure the ultimate pit geometries would not be dependent on silver or antimony values. Mining costs used for the pit limit analysis are based on a first principles cost buildup for equipment requirements, labor estimates, and consumables price quotes. Selection of the optimal pit shells for each deposit was based on discounted cash flow analysis. For Yellow Pine and West End, the incremental change in discounted pit value (NPV) and strip ratio between potentially optimal pit shells is gradual, and pit shells representing gold selling prices of $1,250/oz and $1,300/oz respectively were selected. For Hangar Flats, the pit limit analysis suggested selecting the $1,150/oz pit shell but, due to additional technical considerations, the $750/oz pit shell was selected.
The ultimate pit designs were based on the selected pit shells, design parameters for 150-ton haul trucks, geotechnical design criteria, and additional mine sequencing and haulage considerations. Cut-off determination utilized a net smelter return (NSR) methodology to account for varying ore types and separate process streams with unique process costs. The cut-off strategy applies elevated cut-off values to ensure the highest-grade ore available in the mine plan is processed preferentially and lower grade ore is stored in ore stockpiles for processing later in the Project life.
Cutoff grades for Mineral Reserves were developed assuming long term metal prices of $1,600/oz gold, $20.00/oz silver, and $3.50/lb antimony for material lying within the pit designs based on the pit shells selected above ($1,250, $750 and $1,300/oz Au for Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats and West End, respectively). Mineral Reserves are reported from the reference point of delivery to the processing plant. This results in a Life-of-Mine (LOM) average gold cut-off grade of 0.48 g/t for open-pit mining. The Mineral Reserves are summarized in Table 1-4 and Table 1-5.

| 1.8 | Mining Methods | |
The mine plan developed for the Project incorporates the mining of the three in situ deposits: Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End and their related development rock; and the re-mining of Historical Tailings along with its cap of spent heap leach ore. The general sequence of open pit mining would be Yellow Pine deposit first, Hangar Flats deposit second, and West End deposit last, as shown on Figure 1-1. This sequence generally progresses from mining highest value ore to lowest value ore and accommodates the sequential backfilling the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats open pits with material mined from West End open pit. Lower grade ore extracted during mining of the three pits is stockpiled

and then processed during the later operating life of the mill. The spent ore that overlies the Historical Tailings would be used as tailings storage facility (TSF) construction material and is treated as stripping. Most development rock would be sent to one of five destinations: the TSF embankment, the TSF buttress, the Yellow Pine pit as backfill, the Hangar Flats pit as backfill, or the Midnight area within the West End pit as backfill. The Historical Tailings would be hydraulically transferred to the process plant during the first four years of operation, concurrent with mining ore from the Yellow Pine open pit.
**Figure 1-1:****Ore Mined by Deposit and Year (Metric Tonnes)**
Mining at the Project would be accomplished using conventional open pit hard rock mining methods with a production fleet consisting of two 28-yd3 hydraulic shovels, two 28-yd3 wheel loaders, and a fleet of approximately eighteen 150 ton haul trucks. Mining is planned to deliver 7.30 Mt of ore to the crusher per year (nominally 20 kt per day) and approximately 22.1 Mt of development rock per year to Development Rock Storage Facility (DRSF). Pre-stripping the open pits would begin two years prior to ore processing and open pit mining would continue until year 12 of operation. Once open pit mining is completed, the mining fleet will continue to provide ore to the mill from ore stockpiles until approximately the end of the first quarter in year 15 (Figure 1-2). A total of 102 million metric tonnes of ore would be mined from the three open pits and an additional 2.7 million metric tonnes of historic tailings would be mined. Approximately 254 Mt of development rock would be mined from the three open pits for a total of 356 million metric tonnes mined from the open pits and an average strip ratio (waste:ore) of 2.43.

**Figure 1-2:****Ore and Development Rock Mined by Year and Source (Metric Tonnes)**
Long-term lower-grade ore stockpiles have been incorporated into the mine plan located for the most part within the footprint of the TSF buttress, thereby minimizing their incremental disturbance. The primary benefits to adding ore stockpile capacity are increased potential to optimize process ore feed value throughout the mine life, improved utilization of the Mineral Resource, reduced peak water treatment needs, reduced development rock tonnage and associated mining impacted water management. The stockpiling strategy is particularly significant during the first half of the mine life when Yellow Pine high value ore is mined at a rate greater than process plant throughput capacity. If stockpile capacity is not available, either the period-based cut-off value must increase resulting in ore converted to waste, or the mining rate reduced to align with process plant throughput capacity resulting in deferred access to high-value ore deeper in the open pit. The addition of long-term ore stockpiles allows for relatively high value ore mined from Yellow Pine open pit to be stockpiled and made available to process when lower value ore is being mined in West End open pit (Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4).

The process flowsheet for most of the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End material uses bulk sulfide flotation to maximize recovery of gold to a sulfide concentrate amenable to treatment by pressure oxidation for materials assaying less than 0.1% antimony. High antimony materials would be first subject to a selective antimony flotation process, thereby producing a shippable antimony concentrate, with a gold-bearing bulk sulfide rougher concentrate to be floated from the antimony flotation tailings. Some of the oxidized West End ores are more transitional or free milling in nature, and an ore leaching process was developed to treat these materials. Testing was also conducted on samples of the historical (Bradley) tailings. This work showed the historical tailings could be processed using the same flowsheet as, and most likely as a blend with, fresh sulfide ores. Metallurgical testing programs conducted to support process development are detailed in Section 10.
Projected gold flotation recoveries for low-antimony materials to a concentrate assaying 6.5% sulfur are estimated at 93.8% for Yellow Pine and 92.1% for Hangar Flats. Silver recoveries are estimated as 90.1% for Yellow Pine and 89.1% for Hangar Flats. Gold and silver flotation recoveries are independent of gold or silver grade. For high-antimony materials from the Yellow Pine deposit, gold misplacement to the antimony concentrate and overall gold recoveries to POX are functions of pyritic sulfur grade and gold recoveries are estimated to range from 83.6% to 95.5%. Constant gold and silver recoveries are projected for Hangar Flats high-antimony material at 89.7% for gold and 43.2% for silver. West End sulfide material is highly refractory while transition material has a significant free milling gold content. Sulfide

material will be processed by flotation, concentrate POX and cyanide leaching of the concentrate; transition material will be treated similarly, however the flotation tailings will also be leached; oxide materials will just be leached.
Pressure oxidation testing results demonstrated that neutralization of acid inside the autoclave, or in-situ*acid neutralization (ISAN) facilitates stabilization of arsenic in the POX residue. Neutralization of acid inside the autoclave was accomplished by adding ground limestone slurry in the POX feed to control free acid and sulfate concentrations and limit the formation of jarosite and basic iron sulfates. Higher ferric concentrations available for scorodite formation and lower sulfate concentrations were found to inhibit pitticite (an unstable arsenic compound) formation. However, subsequent environmental geochemical testing completed on commingled flotation and detoxified cyanide leach tailings from the pilot plant indicated that arsenic destabilized at some point downstream of the POX process. Further ISAN POX tests targeting free acid of 8 to 15 mg/L of H2SO4, followed by an atmospheric arsenic precipitation (AAP) stage where the slurry was allowed to cure at an elevated temperature (92C) and a retention time of 4 to 5 hours produced a stable scorodite precipitate (FeAsO42H2O). The slurry is slowly neutralized during the cure where limestone slurry is added to the POX residue to achieve a pH of approximately 2.
The POX testing confirmed consistent gold recoveries in the 96.5-99.0% range.
The Projects process plant has been designed to process sulfide, transitional and oxide material from the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End deposits. The processing facility is designed to treat an average of 22,046 st/d (20,000 Mt/d). Additionally, the Historical Tailings would be reprocessed early in the mine life to recover precious metals and antimony, and to provide space for the TSF embankment and buttress.
The process operations include crushing, grinding, antimony and gold flotation, pressure oxidation, POX leaching and carbon-in-pulp (CIP) recovery, cyanide detoxification, carbon handling and pressure stripping, precious metal electrowinning, mercury retort removal, and dor bar production. Auxiliary operations include a plant to supply oxygen to the autoclave, and limestone mining operations including crushing, grinding, and calcining to provide limestone slurry and milk of lime for neutralization and pH adjustment for the process. A leaching, CIP recovery, and detoxification process is planned for late in the mine life to process crushed and ground oxide material and recover gold from the tailings of transitional (mixed oxide-sulfide) sulfide flotation material. Two finished products from the Stibnite Gold Project ore processing facility will be dor bars and antimony concentrate.
The comparison of recovery and payable metal between the 2022 TRS and this TRS is summarized in Table 1-7. The Antimony metal produced in this TRS production plan is lower compared with the 2022 TRS due to revised recovery models that align better with the bench scale test work data.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 1.10.1 | Site Access | |
The site is currently accessed by the Stibnite Road, National Forest (NF-412), from the village of Yellow Pine, with three alternative routes up to that point. Alternative access via the Burntlog Route was selected over several other possible alternatives because it provides safer year-round access for mining operations and has lesser environmental impacts, reducing the proximity of roads to major fish-bearing streams, and this route respects the advice and privacy of community members close to the Project location. The route originates from the intersection of Highway 55 and Warm Lake Road and is approximately 71 miles long. The route consists of 34 miles of existing highway (Warm Lake Road), 23 miles of upgraded road, and 14 miles of new road. The 37 miles of new and upgraded road has a design speed of 20 mph, maximum 10% grade, a 21-foot width, and intermediate-sized tractor trailer loading criteria. A maintenance facility would be constructed along the route. Additional details on the Burntlog Route and maintenance facility are provided in Section 15 of this Report.
| 1.10.2 | Logistics Facility | |
Offsite administrative offices, transportation hub, and warehousing needed for the Project, referred to as Stibnite Gold Logistics Facility (SGLF), will be located on private land in Valley County, with easy access to State Highway 55. The administration building includes offices for managers, safety and environmental services, human resources, purchasing, and accounting personnel, as well as conference rooms, a break room, and restrooms. Operating supplies for the mine will be staged and consolidated at the SGLF to reduce traffic to the site.
| 1.10.3 | Power Supply and Transmission | |
Grid power was selected as the preferred primary power supply for the Project based on its low operating cost, low unit prices, and existing clean energy portfolio of Idaho Power Company (IPCo). The existing grid network would need to be upgraded to provide the power necessary to support the 65-megawatt (MW), 72MVA load.
The upgrades required to integrate the Project load into the IPCo network include an increased 230/138 kV transformer capacity; approximately 41.3 miles of 69 kV lines upgraded to 138 kV; approximately 21.0 miles of 12.5 kV line upgraded to 138 kV line; and approximately 9.2 miles of new 138 kV line. Measures to increase the voltages on the IPCo system include new or upgraded 138 kV substations at McCall, Lake Fork, Cascade, Scott Valley, Warm Lake, Thunderbolt Drop, Johnson Creek, and Stibnite. IPCo would need to resupply small consumers between the Johnson Creek substation and users to the south via an underground 12.5kV replacement line. Two route modifications were identified during public outreach and were incorporated into the design. The key reasons for the modifications were to avoid wetland disturbance and impacts to private property.
The 138-kV line would be routed to the Project sites main electrical substation where transformers would step the voltage down to the distribution voltage of 34.5 kV. The main substations will be redundant dual 138 to 34.5kV transformers to prevent loss of power due to failure.

| 1.10.4 | Worker Accommodations | |
Perpetua Resources has an existing on-site worker housing facility with a capacity for approximately 60 workers. A temporary housing facility is currently under construction and is designed to accommodate up to 140 personnel to support earlyworks construction activities at the Project site.
Since the Project is in a relatively remote area of Idaho, accommodation will be required for construction and operations personnel. The location selected for the worker housing facility (WHF) is approximately 1 miles southeast of the confluence of the EFSFSR and Meadow Creek, just off the existing Thunder Mountain Road.
The new WHF and ancillary temporary lodging facilities will house the construction workforce. The existing exploration housing facility will be decommissioned and demobilized once the new worker accommodations are built and commissioned.
| 1.10.5 | Water Management | |
Perpetua Resources will develop a water management system that protects or improves water quality in Project-area streams and provides water for ore processing, fire protection, exploration activities, surface mining (dust control), and potable water needs.
The key water management consideration for the Project site is the large amount of snowmelt runoff during the months of April through June, making spring melt the critical time for water management, storage, and treatment. In general, surface water that comes in contact with materials that have the potential to introduce mining- and process-related contaminants (contact water) is kept separate from surface water that originates from undisturbed, uncontaminated ground (non-contact water). This is accomplished by diverting clean water around mine facilities and collecting and reusing, evaporating, or treating and discharging contact water.
The water needed for ore processing is planned to come from meteoric and tailings consolidation water reclaimed from the TSF, water from pit dewatering, contact water, groundwater wells, and a surface intake near the upstream portal of the EFSFSR diversion tunnel. Contact water from the pits, stockpiles, TSF buttress, truck shop, ore processing facilities, and legacy materials exposed during construction would be collected in lined ponds or in-pit sumps for later use in ore processing, dust control, or treatment for discharge. Excess dewatering water not used for ore processing would be treated, if required, and discharged to a surface outfall.
Major water diversions include construction of a tunnel and fishway to divert the EFSFSR and provide fish passage around the Yellow Pine pit, and surface diversions of Meadow Creek at the TSF, TSF Buttress, and Hangar Flats pit. Other smaller scale diversions are provided to intercept hillslope runoff and minor tributaries at the TSF, TSF Buttress, Fiddle GMS, Bradley Tailings reprocessing operation, open pits, and process plant area.
| 1.10.6 | Tailings Management | |
The Project would produce approximately 120 million short tons of tailings solids. The tailings would contain trace amounts of cyanide and metals (including arsenic and antimony), so a fully lined containment facility utilizing a composite liner with leak collection/recovery system will be used to isolate the tailings and process water.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The TSF would consist of a rockfill embankment, a fully lined impoundment with leak collection/recovery system, and appurtenant water management features including a surface diversion of Meadow Creek and its tributaries around the facility. The TSF Buttress located immediately downstream of, and abutting against, the TSF embankment would substantially enhance embankment stability. Historical spent heap leach ore would be reused in TSF construction, in locations isolated from interaction with water, but the majority of the rockfill would be development rock sourced from the open pits. Design criteria were established based on the facility size and risk using applicable dam safety and water quality regulations and industry best practice for the TSF embankment on a standalone basis; the addition of the buttress substantially increases the safety factor for the design. The TSF impoundment, embankment, and associated water diversions would occupy approximately 423 acres at final buildout, with an approximately 480-foot ultimate height. The TSF location relative to other Project features is shown on Figure 1-5.

| 1.12 | Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social/Community Impact | |
| 1.12.1 | Environmental Data Collection and Analyses | |
An extensive dataset demonstrating historical and existing conditions exists for the Project site, including data collected for the USFS, EPA, US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, USGS, and Idaho Departments of Environmental Quality, Water Resources, and Lands.
Assessments determined that there were a number of pre-existing significant and moderate recognized environmental conditions and overall water quality in all drainages was adversely affected due to naturally occurring mineralization and impacts associated with historical mining activities by third parties unrelated to Perpetua Resources.
Perpetua Resources environmental resource baseline data collection program was initiated in 2011, and the initial suite of baseline monitoring reports were submitted in 2017 to regulators. Since then, additional monitoring data have been collected and provided to the agencies and supplemental environmental resource studies. Baseline data from all sources have informed and refined environmental modeling and Project design (including mine plan refinements and modifications) and have been used to develop mitigation and monitoring plans.
Perpetua Resources and its contractors developed predictive models for use in environmental evaluation and feasibility level engineering studies. Environmental models include air emissions modeling, a regional hydrogeologic/groundwater flow model and meteoric water balance, stream and pit lake network temperature model (SPLNT), geochemistry / site-wide water chemistry (SWWC) loading model, and site-wide water balance (SWWB). The suite of models facilitated environmental analysis, evaluation of alternate design scenarios, design trade-offs, and compliance with environmental review and permitting requirements. Environmental modeling has been a key tool for advanced engineering and identification of Project modifications and appropriate mitigation measures to reduce cost and environmental impact.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The seasonal water balance excess and predicted leaching of arsenic and antimony from mined materials lead to a need to dispose of water during operations which may be above certain numeric water quality criteria when they are applicable (the numeric water quality criteria may not be legally applicable in all circumstances where they relate to legacy conditions). Based on measured and predicted water quality data, Perpetua Resources has developed plans to treat certain waters before discharges to surface waters during operations. In closure, once other facilities are reclaimed, models predicted that TSF water quality would require treatment for up to 42 years, at which time water treatment would no longer be necessary. Mechanical evaporation would be used along with active water treatment to manage excess water at site.
| 1.12.2 | Permitting | |
Approval of the Project required completion of the Project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to study and consider the probable environmental impacts of certain major federal actions before making a decision on such actions. The Final EIS resulted in a final Record of Decision (ROD) issued by the Forest Service in January 2025. The Final ROD approves, with various conditions and requirements, the 2021 Modified Mine Plan for the Project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued its Clean Water Act Section 404 permit for the Project and an associated ROD in May 2025 These RODs from the Forest Service and USACE were followed in October 2025 by the Forest Services approval in October 2025 of the Plan of Operations for the Project. After the Forest Service approved the Plan of Operations, Perpetua also posted construction phase financial assurance for the Project in Q4 2025 in accordance with the approvals of the relevant federal and state agencies.
In addition to federal permits, the Project requires multiple state and local permits and other regulatory approvals. State and local permitting processes were mostly completed concurrent with, or shortly after, preparation of the EIS and Forest Services issuance of the ROD, although certain regulatory permit reviews remain ongoing as of December 31, 2025. The state and local permits include water discharges (industrial and sanitary IPDES), air quality, cyanidation, water rights, dam safety, mine and reclamation, building permits, sewer and water systems, among others.
These various federal and state permits and approvals are based on a Project design generally incorporating the 2021 Modified Mine Plan. Section 17 of this Report provides detailed descriptions and the status of each of the permits required prior to construction and operation of the Project.
| 1.12.3 | Closure and Restoration | |
Perpetua Resources has a goal of net benefit to the environment and has focused on several key restoration and mitigation principles. These principles include: conduct activities in an environmentally responsible manner; utilize previously disturbed areas; improve fish passage and habitat; remove, reprocess, or reuse legacy mine wastes to protect water quality; revegetate disturbed or burned areas to improve wildlife habitat and reduce sediment loads; and repair, relocate, or construct new ecologically diverse stream channels and wetlands to mitigate those disturbed by legacy and new mine development.
Perpetua Resources developed closure and restoration plans with the objectives, when practical, to establish a sustainable fishery with enhanced habitat to support natural populations of salmon, steelhead, and bull trout; improve water quality; establish vegetation; and enhance wildlife habitat, all contributing to a selfsustaining and productive

ecosystem. Closure, reclamation and restoration activities are designed to achieve post-mining land uses of wildlife and fisheries habitat and dispersed recreation at the mine site.
Significant components of reclamation and restoration are designed to occur concurrently with operations, including: removing and reprocessing and/or reusing historical tailings, development rock and spent ore; enhancing existing streams; improving water quality; backfilling and reclaiming the Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine (Figure 1-6) pits; stream restoration; and establishing permanent fish passage to the headwaters of the EFSFSR. The remaining closure activities are planned to occur in the first 10 years after operations cease: further improvements to water quality; restoring additional streams, wetlands, and riparian habitat throughout the site; decommissioning onsite infrastructure and facilities; replacing growth media; re-contouring artificial landforms to blend into the landscape; and replanting Project and historical disturbance areas. Closure maintenance, water treatment, and long-term monitoring are anticipated to continue longer to protect water quality gains and ensure that closure features are performing as intended.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Perpetua Resources entered into a Community Agreement in 2018 with the Village of Yellow Pine, the cities of Cascade, Donnelly, New Meadows, Riggins and Council, and Adams and Idaho counties. The Community Agreement established the Stibnite Advisory Council, which brings communities together to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by the Project; and the Stibnite Foundation, which distributes funds to projects from milestone and future share of profits contributions by Perpetua Resources. Given its regulatory obligations for the Project, Valley County determined it was not in a position to enter into the Community Agreement.
Perpetua Resources respects the sovereign treaty rights of Native American tribes and recognizes the Government-to-Government consultation obligations of the United States under federal statutes and regulations. Three federally recognized tribes - the Nez Perce Tribe, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, and Shoshone-Paiute Tribes - were consulted with throughout the permitting process through formal Government-to-Government consultation conducted by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS or Forest Service) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Separately, Perpetua Resources has engaged with these Tribal entities in various ways and incorporated feedback from these Tribes into the Project design.
| 1.13 | Capital and Operating Costs | |
Capital expenditures or capital costs (CAPEX) and operating expenditures or operating costs (OPEX) estimates were developed based on Q4 2025, un-escalated U.S. dollars. Vendor quotes were obtained or updated for major equipment to account for inflation or price changes since the 2024 update. Most costs were developed from first principles, although some were estimated based on factored references and experience with similar projects elsewhere. Vendor quotes were obtained for all major equipment and operating consumables. The capital costs exclude reclamation final assurance costs and discretionary corporate costs, including G&A, debt service, and project-related exploration costs incurred during construction.
| 1.13.1 | Capital Costs | |
The Project CAPEX estimate includes four components: (1) the initial CAPEX to design, permit, pre-strip, construct, and commission the mine, plant facilities, ancillary facilities, utilities, operations camp, and pre-production on and off site restoration and environmental mitigation; (2) the sustaining CAPEX for facilities expansions, mining equipment replacements, expected replacements of process equipment and ongoing concurrent restoration and environmental mitigation activities during the operating period; (3) working capital to cover delays in the receipts from sales and payments for accounts payable and financial resources tied up in inventory, and (4) closure CAPEX to cover post operations reclamation and restoration and water treatment costs. Initial and working capital are the two main categories that need to be available to construct the Project. Table 1-10 provides a CAPEX summary for the Project.

| 1.14 | Economic Analysis | |
The economic model described in this TRS is not a true cash flow model as defined by financial accounting standards but rather a representation of Project economics at a level of detail appropriate for a pre-feasibility level of engineering and design. With completion of the EIS in 2024 and receipt of the Record of Decision received on January 5, 2025, the Company began early works construction in the Fall of 2025. The first year of analysis starts with the decision point of commencing early works construction (Year -3 or three years before the start of commercial production). Taxation was taken into account using current federal, state, and county rates but the overall tax calculation is approximate and uses rudimentary depletion and depreciation estimates.
Four cases were run in the economic model to present a range of economic outcomes using varying metal prices. The metal prices used in the economic model are shown in Table 1-9. There is no guarantee that any of the metal prices used in the four cases are representative of future metals prices. The constant parameters for all cases are listed in Table 1-13.

| 1.15 | Risks and Opportunities | |
Risks and opportunities have been identified concerning the Project; apart from industry-wide risks and opportunities (such as changes in law and changes in capital and operating costs related to inputs like steel and fuel, metal prices, permitting timelines, etc.). Project specific risks and opportunities are summarized below.
**Page 1-**30
**March 31, 2026**
**Critical Resource. Responsible Mining. Sustainable Approach.**
| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Risks, which additional information could eliminate or mitigate include:
| | Delay in permitting or necessary Project changes resulting from permitting or design changes; | |
| | Legal challenges to the USFS ROD or other regulatory approvals or environmental complications associated with legacy mining impacts; | |
| | Water management and chemistry that could affect diversion and closure designs and/or the duration of long-term water treatment; | |
| | Geological uncertainties which may affect Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves; | |
| | Geotechnical uncertainties in the open pit walls and infrastructure areas could impact the allowable pit slopes and design criteria; | |
| | Increases to estimated capital and operating costs; and | |
| | Delays or modifications to the construction schedule. | |
Opportunities that could improve the economics, and/or permitting schedule of the Project, including a number with potential to increase the NPV5% by more than $100 million include:
| | In-pit conversion of approximately 9.8 Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 1.02 g/t Au occurring within the Mineral Reserve Pits containing approximately 321 koz of gold, to Mineral Reserves, increasing Mineral Reserves and reducing the strip ratio; | |
| | Out-of-pit conversion of approximately 27.1 Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 1.26 g/t Au occurring outside the current Mineral Reserve Pits containing approximately 1,098 koz of gold, to Mineral Reserves; | |
| | Out-of-pit conversion of approximately 26.2 Mt of Indicated Mineral Resources grading 1.09 g/t occurring outside the current Mineral Reserve Pits containing approximately 917 koz of gold, to Mineral Reserves; | |
| | In-pit conversion of unclassified material currently treated as development rock to Mineral Reserves, increasing Mineral Reserves and reducing strip ratios; | |
| | Discovery of additional antimony Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in the Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine deposits as improved continuity of stibnite vein arrays and/or additional discrete zones of higher-grade antimony mineralization; | |
| | Increased Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in West End due to denser drilling to demonstrate improved continuity of higher-grade gold mineralization and through addition of fire assay information in areas where only cyanide assays were available for the current Mineral Resource estimates; | |
| | Potential for the definition of higher-grade, higher-margin underground Mineral Reserves at Scout, Garnet, Hangar Flats, or other advanced prospects; and | |
| | Potential to delineate other critical minerals on the Project, most notably tungsten. The Stibnite District was a significant past producer of tungsten, in addition to antimony. Between 1941-45 the operation produced approximately 50% of the tungsten and 90% of the antimony of US demand. Tungsten has the highest melting | |

point of all metals and this property along with its density and toughness make it a critical component of armor, drones, ammunition, and is used in many other military and industrial applications. While Perpetua has not defined tungsten mineral resources at this time, previous drilling by Perpetua and historic operators has returned sufficiently high grades of tungsten to warrant further investigation and analysis.
| | Discovery of other new deposits with attractive operating margins. | |
Mineral Resources exclusive of Mineral Reserves are reported based on a fixed gold cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t for sulfide and 0.35 g/t for oxide, and in relation to conceptual Mineral Resource pit shells and Mineral Reserve pits to demonstrate potential economic viability as required under S-K 1300. Indicated mineral resources exclusive of mineral reserves are reported to demonstrate potential for future expansion should economic conditions warrant. Inferred mineral resources exclusive of mineral reserves are reported to demonstrate potential to increase in-pit production should inferred mineral resources be successfully converted to mineral reserves; mineralization lying outside of Mineral Resource pit shells is not reported as a mineral resource. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. These mineral resource estimates include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated.
Opportunities with a medium impact ($10 to $100 million increase in Project NPV5%) include improved metallurgical recoveries, secondary processing of antimony concentrates, steeper pit slopes, and government funding of off-site infrastructure. A number of lesser impact opportunities also exist, including potential recovery of tungsten as a by-product from processing of the antimony mineralized materials which are often associated with tungsten mineralization.
If any of the opportunities described above were to result in changes to the Project design or other features incorporated into the Plan of Operations approved by the Forest Service in October 2025 or into other federal or state permits issued for the Project, additional requirements with respect to environmental review (NEPA) or permit amendments or modifications may be required. Any such additional environmental review and permitting requirements, if applicable, would be completed before proceeding with actions requiring such regulatory approvals.
| 1.16 | Other Relevant Data and Information | |
Upon commencement of production the Project would become a significant producer of domestically sourced antimony. Antimony was designated as a critical mineral in the U.S. Department of Interiors final list of 60 critical minerals published in 2025 (U.S. Dept. of Interior, 2025) due to a complete lack of primary domestic production in the United States and reliance on imports, directly or indirectly, from non-aligned countries such as China, Russia, and Tajikistan, which produce approximately 86% of the worlds antimony, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Report Summaries, January 2026.

| 1.17 | Interpretation and Conclusions | |
Industry standard mining, processing, construction methods, and economic evaluation practices were used to assess the Project. Adequate geological and other pertinent data were available to support the study.
The financial analysis presented in Section 19 of this Report demonstrates that the Project is financially sound and has the potential to generate positive economic returns based on the assumptions and conditions set out in this Report, while other sections of the TRS demonstrate that the Project is technically and environmentally viable.
Except as discussed in this Report, the QPs that have prepared this Report are not aware of any significant risks or uncertainties that could reasonably be expected to affect the reliability or confidence in the exploration results, Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates, or projected economic outcomes based on the data and information available to date.
| 1.18 | Recommendations | |
After many years of study, analysis, planning, and community and stakeholder engagement, Perpetua Resources prepared a comprehensive plan for the restoration and redevelopment of Stibnite, known as the PRO (Alternative 1 in the DEIS) and that plan was modified to form the ModPRO (Alternative 2 in the DEIS). Public and agency comments on the Modified Proposed Action (ModPRO), along with refinements to predictive modeling and the incorporation of additional environmental resource data, resulted in further revisions to the ModPRO. These refinements culminated in the development of the ModPRO2 mine plan of operations, which is consistent with the Prefeasibility Study (M3, 2020). Through the NEPA review process, ModPRO2identified as the 2021 Modified Mine Plan (MMP) in the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)was selected as the Agencys Preferred Alternative in both the SDEIS and FEIS. The 2021 MMP forms the basis of the Plan of Operations approved by the Forest Service in October 2025. The 2021 MMP lays out a safe, technically feasible, economically viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible path forward for the redevelopment and restoration of the Site. This path forward will comply with applicable laws and regulations and incorporates environmental improvements that were developed in concert with Project NEPA analysis.
Based upon the updates since the 2022 TRS relating to advancements in permitting, exploration drilling, engineering, land management, and updated financial analyses demonstrating positive Project economics, it is recommended that Perpetua Resources continue to advance the Project towards a full construction decision and ultimately, commercial production.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 3 | Property Description | |
The Project is in central Idaho, USA, approximately 100 miles (mi) northeast of Boise, Idaho, 38 mi east of McCall, Idaho, and approximately 10 mi east of Yellow Pine, Idaho (see Figure 3-1). Mineral rights controlled by Perpetua Resources include patented lode claims, patented mill sites, unpatented federal lode claims, and unpatented federal mill sites and encompass approximately 29,340 acres (approximately 46 mi2) as shown on Table 3-2. The claims are 100% owned by Perpetua Resources, except for 27 patented lode claims that are held under an option to purchase and portions of six patented millsites described below in subsection 3.2.1. These terms relating to the nature of Perpetua Resources claims are consistent with the United States General Mining Law of 1872.
In agreements dated May 9, 2013 (and thereafter amended), Perpetua Resources granted a 1.7% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on future gold production from the Project properties to Franco-Nevada Idaho Corporation (Franco-Nevada). This gold royalty does not apply to the production of antimony and silver. The royalty agreement applies to all patented and unpatented mineral claims, with the exception of the Cinnabar claim group, where PRII holds an option to purchase (OTP) but would be extended to the Cinnabar claim group were the OTP exercised. On March 21, 2024, Perpetua Resources and its subsidiaries granted a 100% NSR royalty on the future payable silver production from the Project to Franco-Nevada. The silver royalty agreement applies to the same properties as the gold royalty. The silver royalty agreement provides a mechanism whereby Franco-Nevada can receive minimum payments equal to 100% of the payable silver from the sale of dor commencing in the seventh calendar year following commercial production and ending upon the completion of the fifteenth calendar year following commercial production. This silver royalty does not apply to the production of antimony and gold.
| 3.1 | Location | |
The Project is in Valley County, Idaho, in all or part of the following sections (Boise Meridian):
| | Township 17 North, Range 8 East, Sections 12 to 13, 23 to 24, and 26; | |
| | Township 17 North, Range 9 East, Sections 4 to 8 and 13 to 19; | |
| | Township 18 North, Range 9 East, Sections 1 to 30 and 32 to 36; | |
| | Township 18 North, Range 10 East, Sections 5 to 8, 17 to 20 and 29 to 30; | |
| | Township 19 North, Range 9 East, Sections 21 to 28 and 32 to 36; and | |
| | Township 19 North, Range 10 East, Sections 19, 30, and 31. | |
The Project area elevations range from approximately 6,500 ft to more than 8,900 ft above sea level and is centered at latitude 445425 N and longitude 1151937 W and, in State Plane Idaho West coordinates, at 1103:1,181,270 ft US N and 1103:2,734,259 ft US W.

| 3.2 | Property Holdings | |
Perpetua Resources Idaho property holdings consist of wholly-owned patented lode mining claims, patented mill site claims, unpatented federal lode mining claims and unpatented federal mill site claims (collectively, the Claims) (Figure 3-2). Additional patented lode claims containing approximately 487 acres adjacent to the SGP area to the east are subject to an Option to Purchase agreement. In early 2025, Perpetua executed an option to purchase a 207-acre property near Challis in Custer County, Idaho known as the Jones parcel. The property was acquired along with its existing water rights to provide additional water rights mitigation for the Project. In June 2025, Perpetua Resources purchased two adjacent parcels totaling approximately 0.28 acres in the Village of Yellow Pine to serve as office space, as a community meeting space and for historical displays.
A number of independent title opinions in respect of mineral title have been prepared on behalf of Perpetua Resources in support of its initial listing as a public company, subsequent financings, and sale of royalties to third parties. The most recent legal opinion, dated April 25, 2019, was prepared by Jason Mau of the law firm of Parsons, Behle & Latimer, which was later updated on March 21, 2024, and again in June 2025, by the law firm of Hardee, Piol & Kracke, PLLC. These opinions reviewed the title status of the patented and unpatented lode mining and mill site claims owned or optioned by Perpetua Resources Corporations subsidiary Idaho Gold Resources Company LLC (IGRCLLC). These opinions, performed by qualified, independent attorneys, confirmed IGRCLLCs ownership of the patented and unpatented lode mining and mill site claims, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. The QP has reviewed these independent opinions concerning the status of mineral and surface ownership of the Project, and considers them as reliable representations of the current status of ownership of the property comprising the Project and has relied on them for the conclusions that there are no material exceptions or encumbrances to IGRCLLCs ownership of the patented and unpatented lode mining and mill site claims that should materially impede Project development or operations.
Through a series of name changes and consolidations, the various PRC subsidiaries identified in the Report have been consolidated into two entities: Idaho Gold Resources Company, LLC (IGRCLLC), an Idaho limited liability company; and Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. (PRII), an Idaho corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Perpetua Resources Corp. PRII has no ownership interest in the Stibnite Gold Project; rather, it is the designated operating entity and manages the Project activities. The property holding entity, IGRCLLC, is the surviving entity in a merger with Stibnite Gold Company (SGC) effective June 3, 2021, and is managed pursuant to an operating agreement with PRII. PRII and IGRCLLC are wholly-owned by PRC. IGRCLLC holds title to the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End deposits, all of the patented mill sites and all of the unpatented federal lode mining claims and unpatented mill sites (subject to the exceptions described above).

| 3.2.1 | Patented Lands | |
On June 11, 2009, a predecessor to Stibnite Gold Company acquired and exercised an option to purchase (OTP) the Meadow Creek group of nine patented lode claims totaling approximately 184 acres from Bradley Mining Co. (Bradley).
A predecessor entity to IGRCLLC secured an OTP agreement from the J.J. Oberbillig Estate on June 2, 2009, to acquire 30 patented mill site claims totaling approximately 149 acres and six patented lode claims totaling approximately 124 acres. The Oberbillig OTP agreement was exercised and title to property rights were acquired on June 2, 2015. An associated transaction included the purchase and extinguishment of a 5% NSR royalty to the Oberbillig estate covering certain lands within the SGP area. The majority of the mineralization constituting the West End Deposit is located within portions of these patented lode claims. Hecla Mining Company (Hecla) retains some surface rights on portions of six of the patented mill sites within the Project boundaries, but has no mineral rights and IGRCLLC has a right to use the surface for various purposes and holds a right of first refusal should Heclas surface rights be offered for sale. Perpetua Resources is exploring alternatives with respect to these partial millsites, which may include acquiring such property from Hecla.
An OTP for patented lode mining claims covering portions of the Yellow Pine Deposit was conveyed to PRII by way of a company merger between a predecessor entity to IGRCLLC and a subsidiary of Vista Gold Corp. (Vista) that was agreed to February 22, 2011. The OTP for the subject patented claims was exercised on November 28, 2012. As a result of the merger, the predecessor entity to IGRCLLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRII. The Yellow Pine claim group includes 17 patented lode mining claims totaling approximately 301 acres and eight unpatented lode mining claims (already included in the unpatented total below).
On April 28, 2011, a predecessor entity to IGRCLLC purchased 6 patented lode claims east of the Project area. This group of claims is referred to as the Fern claim group, totaling approximately 100 acres.
Property taxes for the patented claim groups are paid in full as of the effective date of this Report and are shown in Table 3-1.

Assessed acreage may not correspond exactly to surveyed acreage reported in text. **3.** This table summarizes the mineral rights and holding costs held by Perpetua Resources wholly owned subsidiary, Idaho Gold Resources Company, LLC (IGRCLLC).
| 3.2.2 | Unpatented Federal Lode Mining Claims and Unpatented Mill Site Claims | |
A subsidiary of a predecessor entity to IGRCLLC purchased 229 federal unpatented claims from previous owners in 2009 and 2011. These included 46 federal mill site claims and 183 federal unpatented lode mining claims. In addition to the purchased claims, IGRCLLC predecessors or subsidiaries acquired by staking an additional 36 federal unpatented lode mining claims in 2009, 217 lode claims in 2010 and 901 federal unpatented lode-mining claims in 2011, and one federal unpatented lode mining claim in 2012. An additional 126 unpatented lode claims were staked in 2015. Minor modifications such as re-staking and amended claim locations have occurred since original staking and/or acquisition.
In 2021, SGC merged with IGRCLLC, with IGRCLLC becoming the sole surviving entity and landowner of patented and unpatented mining claims and mill sites and various optioned properties. Currently, in addition to the patented lands, 1,674 unpatented lode mining and mill site claims totaling approximately 29,340 acres (11,873 hectares) constitute part of the overall land position as of the effective date of the Report. A complete List of active claims is shown in Table 3-2.
Maintenance of unpatented federal claims requires that IGRCLLC annually provide a list of claims and serial numbers to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along with annual maintenance fees, currently $200 for each lode mining claim or mill site on or before September 1st each year. This was completed for the most recent filing year in August 2025, and an Affidavit of Satisfaction was subsequently recorded in Valley County in September 2025. There is no underlying royalty on these federal lode mining claims and mill site other than the Franco-Nevada Idaho Corporation (Franco-Nevada) royalties detailed in Section 3.4. None of the Claims are subject to back-in rights.

This consent decree provides property access to the regulatory agencies that were party to the agreement and the right to conduct remediation activities under their respective Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) authorities as necessary and required to prevent the release or potential release of hazardous substances. In addition, the consent decree requires that heirs, successors and assignees refrain from activities that would interfere with or adversely affect the integrity of any remedial measures implemented by government agencies.
Certain mineral properties held by IGRCLLC and that portion of the mineral properties acquired from Bradley estate pursuant to the Bradley Mining Agreement (i.e., the Yellow Pine Deposit) are subject to a consent decree entered into by Bradley and the United States in United States v. Bradley Mining Co., No. 3:08 CV 03986 TEH (N.D. Cal.)). The consent decree was lodged on February 14, 2012 and approved on April 19, 2012. The consent decree states that if the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the USDA Forest Service determines that land/water use restrictions in the form of state or local laws, regulations, ordinances or other governmental controls are needed to implement response activities at the Stibnite Mine Site, ensure the integrity and protectiveness thereof, or ensure non-interference therewith Bradley Mining or its heirs successors or assigns agreed to cooperate with EPAs or the Forest Services efforts to secure such governmental controls.
To Perpetua Resources knowledge, the above-described consent decrees resolved the United States lawsuits against the Oberbillig and Bradley entities and EPA is not currently undertaking any enforcement or other legal actions under these consent decrees with respect to the Project site. Further, to Perpetua Resources knowledge, all CERCLA response actions required by those consent decrees have been completed and EPA has not ordered the settling parties to undertake any additional remedial activities that remain to be completed.
Perpetua Resources and its subsidiaries cannot ensure it has identified every third-party consent decree or administrative order which may affect the Stibnite Gold Project.
To address remaining historical legacy impacts at the site of the Stibnite Gold Project not addressed in the above referenced consent decrees, and unrelated to either of the foregoing lawsuits and the consent decrees entered into to settle those suits as described above, Perpetua Resources Corporation and its affiliates voluntarily entered into an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (ASAOC) with the EPA and the United States Department of Agriculture, pursuant to CERCLA. Finalized on January 15, 2021, the ASAOC provides for a number of time critical removal actions (early cleanup actions) designed to improve water quality in several areas of the SGP site. Perpetua Resources has filed Removal Action Completion Reports (RACR) with the EPA and USDA advising the agencies that the company believes it has completed all work required under Phase 1 of the ASAOC. The federal agencies are currently reviewing the RACR. The ASAOC includes a process under which the Perpetua Resources and the signatory federal agencies will evaluate whether the company, if it elects to do so, may proceed with additional response actions after the Phase 1 work has been certified by the federal agencies as complete. Perpetua Resources has not determined

whether to proceed with any additional work beyond ASAOC Phase 1, and the scope of any such potential additional actions and their costs have not yet been determined.
Under CERCLA, a bona fide prospective purchaser defense is a legal defense available to an owner, which after conducting appropriate inquiries, establishes that the subject environmental liability occurred before the owner acquired the property and that the owner meets other requirements under CERCLA. Perpetua believes that it qualifies for the bona fide prospective purchaser defense under CERCLA, and other CERCLA defenses also may be available to Perpetua Resources with respect to the historic contamination caused by third parties on the Project site but no evaluation of Perpetuas assertion of this defense has been made by EPA or any court.
| 3.4 | Environmental Liabilities | |
The Project is located in a historical mining district with extensive and widespread exploration and mining activity, and related environmental effects, spanning over 100 years from the early 1900s until today. For detailed ownership and mine development history in the District, refer to Section 5 of this Report.
Actions by prior operators and government agencies have addressed some of the historical environmental issues at the site, but extensive disturbance and adverse environmental impacts remain. Potential environmental liabilities from legacy operations and activities that could have impacts on the development of the Project are discussed in Section 17 of this Report.

| 4 | Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography | |
| 4.1 | Physiography | |
The Project site is located within the Salmon River Mountains of Central Idaho 152 road miles northeast of Boise, Idaho (Figure 4-1) within the watershed of the East Fork of the South Fork of the Salmon River (EFSFSR) at an elevation of~6,500 feet (ft). Nearby mountain peak elevations range from 7,800 to 8,900 ft. The land is heavily wooded with fir and pine trees. Large forest fires have burned much of the area in the last two decades.
| 4.2 | Climate | |
The climate is characterized by moderately cold winters and mild summers. Most precipitation occurs as snowfall in the winter and rain during the spring. The local climate allows for year-round operations, as evidenced by historic production and climate information. Weather records indicate that the average precipitation (equivalent rainfall) is approximately 32 inches per year.
| 4.3 | Access | |
The primary existing ground access to the Project area is known as the Johnson Creek Route (Figure 4-1) and includes the following segments:
| | Boise to Cascade Highway 55 (77.4 mi); | |
| | Cascade to Landmark two lane, paved Warm Lake Road (35.6 mi); | |
| | Landmark to Yellow Pine single lane, unpaved Johnson Creek Road (25.3 mi); and | |
| | Yellow Pine to Stibnite single lane, unpaved Stibnite Road (14 mi). | |
The Johnson Creek Route measures 75 mi from Cascade to Stibnite and is closed in the winter months due to snow unless plowed. Alternatively, the South Fork Route provides year-round access to the Project site because it maintains a lower elevation profile. The route follows Warm Lake Road before turning north on the South Fork Road and then turning east onto the East Fork Road towards Yellow Pine and on to the Project site via Stibnite Road. The distance from Cascade to the Project site is approximately 96 mi along this alternate South Fork Route.
Another route available in snow-free months starts by travelling east on Lick Creek Road near McCall, Idaho, towards Yellow Pine and onto Stibnite (the Lick Creek Route). The distance from McCall to Stibnite along the Lick Creek Route is 67 mi, and approximately 94 mi from Cascade to Stibnite via McCall.
During operations, an existing road route (the Burntlog Route) will undergo upgrades and additions and become the primary means of site access once connected to the Projects existing road network.

| 4.4 | Electrical Power | |
The nearest powerline is located along Johnson Creek Road, roughly 8 mi west of Stibnite (Figure 4-1). The powerline along Johnson Creek Road provides 12.5 kV distribution power to local residents along the route and the village of Yellow Pine but would be insufficient to support a mining operation. To support operations related to the Project, powerline infrastructure would need to be installed/upgraded from the main regional Idaho Power Company (IPCo) substation at Lake Fork to the Project site. A description of the proposed powerline upgrade is addressed in Section 15 of this Report.
**Figure 4-1:****Site Access and Pertinent Existing Regional Infrastructure**
| 4.5 | Water Supply | |
The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) has granted Perpetua Resources water supply rights for the SGP, including rights with respect to both the Project site and off-site facilities. Table 4-1 summarizes the water rights held by Perpetua Resources under the IDWR authorizations.
Perpetua Resources filed a water rights application package with the IDWR in October 2021. The application package included applications for the transfer of four existing water rights and applications for new rights for 9.6 cfs for industrial purposes and 600-acre ft annual storage, 0.2 cfs for drinking water at the worker housing facility, 0.06 cfs for drinking water at the logistics facility, and 0.04 cfs for the Burntlog Maintenance Facility (Table 4-1). IDWR granted the

water right application for the Burntlog Maintenance Facility (77-14381) and the Stibnite Gold Logistics Facility (66-24089) on February 13, 2024, without protest (Table 4-1).
After protests were filed with respect to Perpetua Resources then remaining water rights applications, IDWR on January 24, 2025, issued a final order granting additional water rights (see Table 4-1) that were the subject of those applications, including industrial diversion rights and user rights. These water rights granted by IDWR in January 2025 included conditions, including, among other things, conditions that establish minimum stream flows in Meadow Creek and the EFSFSR. These conditions would limit the diversion and appropriation rates available to Perpetua Resources.
In aggregate, Perpetua Resources holds 17 water rights approvals from IDWR as of the end of 2025. These water rights include various domestic, commercial, industrial, and irrigation uses. The water rights are subject to various conditions and requirements under Idaho law and the approvals of IDWR.

| 4.6 | Labor, Supplies and Services | |
Labor for the construction and operation of the Project would be available locally and within the surrounding region. Yellow Pine, which is the nearest town, is located approximately 14 road miles west of the Project. It has a population of approximately 60 people during the summer months, up to 40 in the winter, and limited services such as two restaurants, and a few lodging facilities. The nearby Valley County towns of McCall, Donnelly, and Cascade and surrounding areas have a combined population of several thousand people with many diverse services available.
It is anticipated that a workforce of an estimated 1,052 employees and contractors will be required in the construction phase, and a sustaining workforce of an estimated 675 employees will be required in operations. Skilled miners, mining professionals, local laborers, trades persons and equipment operators would be identified from within Valley County and adjacent Adams and Idaho counties with additional workers sourced throughout Idaho and adjacent states if necessary.
Perpetua Resources is proactively partnering with local highereducation institutions to prepare for future hiring campaigns that emphasize building a local workforce during operations. Perpetua Resources also intends to partner with construction contractors to hire key talent to continue into operations.
Supplies and services would be acquired from the local community when possible. Many specialized supplies are available in the Boise area. Some supplies and services would have to come from the surrounding region and beyond. Most types of equipment and supplies are transportable to the Boise area by rail or the US Interstate Highway system.

**5****History**
Two major periods of mineral exploration, development and operations have occurred in the Stibnite Mining District (the District). The first period of activity commenced in the mid-1920s and continued into the 1950s; it involved the mining of gold, silver, antimony, and tungsten mineralized materials by both underground and, later, open-pit mining methods. Mining claims associated with the Meadow Creek Mine and Yellow Pine Mine (first staked in 1914 and 1923, respectively) were developed and many patented during this period by various interests. Ownership was consolidated by two major landowners who controlled most of the land within the Stibnite Mining District (District). The eastern part was partially consolidated by the Oberbillig family interests and the western part of the District was controlled by the Bradley family interests.
Bradley production was initially from the underground Meadow Creek Mine (ca 1927 to 1937) and later from the larger Yellow Pine underground and subsequently open pit mine (1937 to 1952). The former mill and smelter were subsequently dismantled, and the Stibnite town site abandoned completely in 1958.
During World War II and the Korean War, this District is estimated to have produced more than 90% of the U.S. antimony and approximately 50% of the U.S. tungsten; materials that were used in munitions, steelmaking, flame retardants, and for other purposes. Mining of these strategic minerals was considered so critical that the U.S. government subsidized the mining activity, managed site operations, and allowed military time to be served at the mine site. Estimated production during this period totaled an estimated 0.53 Moz of gold, 88 Mlbs of antimony and 13.6 Mlbs of contained tungsten.
The second period of major activity in the District started with exploration activities in the early 1970s and was followed by open-pit mining and heap leaching from 1982 to 1997. Operators who conducted exploration and/or mineral extraction during this era included, in chronological order, Louisiana Land and Exploration Company, Canadian Superior Mining (U.S.) Ltd. (Superior), El Paso Mining and Milling (El Paso), Ranchers Exploration Company (Ranchers), Twin Rivers Exploration, MinVen Corporation (MinVen), Pioneer Metals Corporation (Pioneer), Hecla Mining Company (Hecla), Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick, formerly American Barrick Resources), Stibnite Mine Inc. (SMI), and Dakota Mining Company (Dakota). Gold production during this period totaled an estimated 0.45 Moz Au.
Both the East Fork of the South Fork of the Salmon River and its tributary, Meadow Creek have been severely impacted by past mining activity. Additional impacts related to extensive forest fires and the failure of an earthen dam on Blowout Creek, a tributary of Meadow Creek, have compounded the mining-related impacts and have increased soil erosion and adversely impacted water quality in the District.
| 5.1 | Past Exploration and Development | |
There have been two major periods of exploration, development, and operations in the District corresponding to the historical mining periods in the early 1900s through the 1950s and from the early 1970s through the mid-1990s. The history of development and mining in the District is summarized in numerous publications and additional references therein including: Larsen and Livingston (1920); Schrader and Ross (1926); White (1940); Cooper (1951); Hart (1979);

Waite (1996); and Mitchell (1995; 2000) and various unpublished reports and documents. Much of the information contained in the text below is taken from these published sources and from unpublished company records. Details of the historical exploration drilling at Stibnite are provided in Section 7 of this Report.
The mining history of the region began in 1894 when the Caswell brothers began a sluice box operation in Monumental Creek in what is now known as the Thunder Mountain Mining District, located east of Stibnite. During the Thunder Mountain gold rush, many prospectors passed through the area now known as the Stibnite-Yellow Pine District, discovering mercury, antimony, silver, and gold. No work of any significance was completed until around 1917, when the World War I demand for mercury led to the development of several properties east of the main Project area (Larsen and Livingston, 1920; Schrader and Ross, 1926). The first period of large-scale development commenced in the mid-1920s and continued into the 1950s; it involved the mining of gold, silver, antimony, and tungsten mineralized materials by both underground and, later, open pit mining methods.
The second period of major activity in the District started with exploration activities in 1974 and was followed by open pit mining and seasonal on-off heap leaching and one-time heap leaching from 1982 to 1997, with ore provided by multiple operators from a number of locations and processed in adjacent heap leaching facilities.
Between these periods of development, numerous prospects were discovered and explored using soil sampling, rock sampling, trenching, drilling, geophysical methods, and geology. Several of these prospects were developed into successful mining operations.
| 5.1.1 | Hangar Flats Deposit | |
Gold and antimony mineralization were discovered in what is now called the Hangar Flats area around 1900. Albert Hennessy staked the first claims here in 1914. Initial prospecting and development attempts focused on outcropping gold-silver-antimony mineralization, principally in the Meadow Creek area. By the mid-1920s, Albert Hennessy and his partners, who included J.J. Oberbillig, established the Meadow Creek Silver Mines Company (MCSM) and carried out intermittent, but considerable underground development work on what became known as the Meadow Creek Mine.
Homestake Mining Company (Homestake) optioned the property and conducted sampling and metallurgical investigations during this period, but decided not to complete a purchase of the property after initial metallurgical investigations indicated that they were unable to process the complex gold-antimony ores (Mitchell, 2000).
In 1921, MCSM was superseded by United Mercury Mines, and by the mid-1920s, the Meadow Creek Mine area was consolidated under Bradley interests, and the mine was systematically explored and developed on six levels with numerous drifts, crosscuts, raises, winzes, and stopes. It subsequently produced gold, silver, and antimony from sulfide ores, which were milled on site from 1928 through 1938. Mine workings were systematically mapped and sampled, and exploration drilling (from both the surface and underground) was carried out to guide the mine development. About 25,426 ft of underground workings were developed in the Meadow Creek Mine, while substantial additional drilling was completed during this period. The Meadow Creek Mine produced gold, silver, and significant quantities of antimony between 1928 and 1937.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
In 1937, the Meadow Creek Mine was shut down and production shifted to the development of the Yellow Pine Deposit in 1938. From 1943 to 1945, additional core drilling was completed in the mine after operations had ceased. A small amount of tungsten mineralized material was reportedly mined during this period from two levels of the mine that were not caved or flooded (Cooper, 1951).
From 1951 through 1954, the Defense Minerals Exploration Administration (DMEA) carried out an underground exploration program immediately north of the Meadow Creek Mine (Mitchell, 2000). Through the DMEA program, Bradley developed approximately 4,900 ft of underground workings on three levels (Mitchell, 2000) in the area immediately north of the Hangar Flats Deposit. Systematic mapping and sampling of the workings were carried out with the mining of bulk samples that were collected at roughly 5 to 10 ft intervals. Drilling of 27 core holes totaling 13,488 ft from underground stations was also carried out. Detailed drill logs and systematic assaying were well documented.
In the late 1970s, Ranchers leased property interests in the District from Bradley and completed a large soil grid over the trace of the Meadow Creek Fault system, including the area adjacent to the old Meadow Creek Mine. Ranchers work outlined several large gold-in-soil anomalies over the old mine site, along the trace of the Meadow Creek Fault system, and north several kilometers to the Yellow Pine Deposit. Ranchers completed some trenching, but no drilling on the anomalies in this area; instead, they focused their work on the Yellow Pine and Homestake deposits (Mitchell, 2000).
In the late 1980s, Hecla acquired Ranchers interests and conducted trenching and ground geophysical surveys, as well as drilling 27 shallow reverse circulation (RC) holes in the historical Meadow Creek Mine area. Their trenching and RC drilling outlined a broad, but ill-defined zone of gold mineralization above the old workings and along strike to the north, as well as under the old Meadow Creek mill and smelter complex along the base of the hill (where the old Meadow Creek adits were located). Subsequently, Hecla constructed a heap-leach pad over a portion of the main mineralized area due to the need for a location to leach the oxide ores from the Homestake area of the Yellow Pine Deposit.
| 5.1.2 | Yellow Pine Deposit | |
The first claims were staked in the Yellow Pine Deposit by prospector Albert Hennessy in 1923, who formed the Great Northern Mines Company with J. L. Niday. In 1929, the claims were optioned to F. W. Bradleys Yellow Pine Mining Company which drove the Monday and Cinnabar tunnels on opposing sides of the valley. Minor underground, open cut exploration, and open-cut development occurred in the late 1920s through 1938. Gold, silver and antimony were produced commercially from the Yellow Pine Deposit starting in 1938, with the addition of tungsten in 1941 with continuous production from 1938 to 1952. Underground operations were initiated in 1941 after the discovery of high-grade tungsten beneath the open pit. This development was spurred on based on systematic exploration and development drilling in the Yellow Pine and Homestake areas between 1933 and 1952 by Bradley and the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) during several drilling campaigns. These drilling programs were initiated due to the demand for antimony, after the U.S. Government declared antimony a strategic metal (The Strategic Minerals Act of 1939), and the discovery of significant tungsten by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) geologist Donald E. White, who was studying USBM drill core from the district in 1941. Based on available compiled records, production from underground and open pit operations during this time period is approximated at 4MT containing 350k oz gold and 80mlbs antimony.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Little work was completed after operations shut down in 1952 until the 1970s when Ranchers and its successor, Hecla, conducted extensive drilling campaigns on the deposit. Hecla completed a prefeasibility study focused on mining of the Yellow Pine deposit in 1987 (Brackebusch, 1987). Barrick optioned the property in 1995 in a joint venture with Hecla and completed additional drilling and metallurgical test work before dropping the option. Hecla relinquished its control of the property back to the Bradley estate interests after closure and reclamation of the oxide operations at the Homestake pit in the late 1990s (Mitchell, 2000).
| 5.1.3 | West End Deposit | |
Gold mineralization was first discovered along the West End Fault by Bradley interests in the late 1930s working with USBM staff conducting strategic minerals investigations. Bradleys exploration focused on the replacement of reserves at their Yellow Pine mining operation. Subsequent work by the USGS outlined a large multi-element soil anomaly (Leonard, 1973) that led to systematic follow-up by Superior and its successors.
A modern era of exploration and development stretched from the mid-1970s to the late-1990s, prompted primarily by the rise in gold prices and the development heap-leach oxide gold recovery methods (Mitchell, 2000). Superior conducted geological, geophysical, and geochemical investigations from 1974 to 1977 to evaluate the potential for heap-leach oxide gold in the West End and adjacent Stibnite deposit (now collectively known as West End). Five heap-leach pads were constructed, and a 2,000 to 3,000 st/d oxide mining operation began in 1982. Open-pit mining at the West End Mine and heap-leach processing was conducted by Superior until 1984 when ownership of the deposit changed hands when Mobil Oil purchased Superior Oil. The West End mine did not operate in 1985, however heap leach processing of previously mined material continued throughout 1985 (Mitchell, 2000).
Pioneer purchased the mine from Mobil in 1986 with financing assistance from The Mining Finance Corporation and Twin Rivers Minerals, which owned 25% of the West End Pit and 18% of Pioneers stock (Mitchell, 2000). Pioneer became the operator of the West End mine and continued to explore and produce until 1991. From 1991, ownership of the West End open-pit mine and processing facilities changed hands from Pioneer to Pegasus Gold Corporation (Pegasus), and then to MinVen (later changed to Dakota). During this time, the mining and exploration activities in the area continued under MinVens subsidiary company, Stibnite Mine Inc. (SMI). SMI continued to conduct sporadic drilling and development of the West End pit, including a small area on the east side of the West End Deposit known as the Stibnite pit, and a small pit approximately 1.5 miles to the southeast known as the Garnet Pit, into the late-1990s. Between 1982 and 1997, crushed oxide material from the West End pits was placed in the Upper Meadow Creek valley after being leached, neutralized, and rinsed (Mitchell, 2000) in an area now commonly referred to as the Spent Ore Disposal Area (SODA). Some spent ore was also used during reclamation as backfill in the Garnet pit and on some former access and haul roads during 1998 - 2000 reclamation by state and federal agencies.
| 5.2 | Environmental Legacy | |
Both the East Fork of the South Fork of the Salmon River and its tributary Meadow Creek have been impacted by past mining activity by third parties unrelated to Perpetua Resources. Those historic mining, milling, and processing activities created numerous legacy impacts, including underground mine workings, multiple open pits, development rock dumps, tailings deposits, heap leach pads, spent heap leach ore piles, a mill and smelter site, three town sites, camp sites, a ruptured water dam (with its associated erosion and downstream sedimentation), haul roads, an abandoned water diversion tunnel, an airstrip, and other disturbances.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Extensive forest fires have compounded the humancreated impacts and have increased soil erosion and impacted water quality. Both the main stem of Meadow Creek and its East Fork tributary have been severely impacted by past mining activity.
The East Fork of Meadow Creek, locally known as Blowout Creek, is today one of the largest sources of sediment for this part of the Salmon River. Blowout Creek got its name from a water dam that failed in 1965 with a washout that scarified an erosional channel and drained the meadow and the productive wetlands above. The erosional and dewatering effects continue today, with sediment being flushed downstream choking the spawning grounds of Meadow Creek and the EFSFSR.
The EFSFSR, a branch of the Salmon River headwaters, currently runs through the old Yellow Pine pit (sometimes referred to locally as the Glory Hole). First mined in the late 1930s and abandoned in the late 1950s, the pit has since filled with river water and sediment and formed a lake. While recreationists currently camp on the old mine benches within the open pit and catch fish in the unreclaimed pit lake, anadromous and local fish populations have not been able to migrate upstream from this point since 1938.

**6****Geological Setting, Mineralization, and Deposit**
Bedrock in the region can be subdivided into several groups based on age, lithology, and stratigraphic relationships. In a broad sense, rock sequences in the region can be subdivided into those that are part of the pre-Cretaceous metasedimentary basement, the Cretaceous Idaho Batholith, Tertiary intrusions and volcanics, and Quaternary unconsolidated sediments and glacial materials. The Project is situated along the eastern edge of the Idaho Batholith, on the western edge of the Thunder Mountain caldera complex and within the Central Idaho Mineral Belt.
| 6.1 | Geological Setting Alteration and Mineralization | |
Large, north-south striking, steeply dipping fault structures exhibiting pronounced gouge and multiple stages of brecciation occur in the District and are often associated with east-west and northeast-southwest trending splays and dilatant structures. Many of the Districts structural features exhibit evidence for pre- syn- and post- mineralization movement. The Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats deposits are hosted primarily by intrusive phases of the Idaho Batholith along the Meadow Creek Fault Zone (MCFZ), as shown on Figure 6-1. The West End Deposit is hosted primarily by Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic carbonate and siliciclastic metasedimentary rocks of the Stibnite roof pendant along the West End Fault Zone (WEFZ) (Figure 6-2).
Mineralization and alteration in the District are associated with multiple hydrothermal alteration events occurring through the Paleocene and early Eocene epochs. Mineralization occurs in numerous locations throughout the District in medium- to coarse-grained, felsic to intermediate intrusive host rocks and typically occurs as disseminated replacement mineralization within structurally prepared dilatant zones or adjacent to district- and regional-scale fault zones. Mineralization also occurs in association with sheeted veins, stockworks, endoskarns, and complex polymictic breccias. In the metamorphosed sedimentary rocks, mineralization occurs in association with dense fracture zones in structurally prepared sites and as stratiform manto-style replacements in reactive carbonate and calcareous siltite and schist units, as well as in cross-cutting vein arrays, breccia veins and dikes, and jasperoids (quartz-replaced carbonates).
Main-stage gold mineralization and associated potassic alteration typically occurs in structurally prepared zones in association with very fine-grained disseminated arsenical pyrite (FeS2) and, to a lesser extent, arsenopyrite (FeAsS), with gold almost exclusively in solid solution in these minerals. Antimony-tungsten mineralization is associated with silicification and brecciation resulting in stibnite (Sb2S3) veining and distinctive black matrix breccias within discrete structural zones. A later stage of mineralization crosscutting early disseminated styles and primarily effecting rocks of the Stibnite roof pendant is associated with epithermal quartz-adularia-carbonate veins. Carbonates, primarily iron-magnesium-rich calcite and ankerite, along with potassium-rich illite (sericite) and to a lesser extent chlorite and smectite clays are common alteration assemblages peripheral to the pervasive potassium feldspar and sericite alteration in the cores of the intrusive hosted deposits or in late structural zones.

| 6.1.1 | Yellow Pine Deposit | |
Mineralization in the Yellow Pine Deposit is structurally controlled and localized by the northerly striking MCFZ and by conjugate splay or cross structures (Figure 6-3). The deposit shows metal zonation with gold mineralization occurring throughout the deposit footprint, with antimony and tungsten primarily in the central and southern portions of the deposit (Figure 6-4). Most of the mineralization in the deposit occurs west of the MCFZ and east of the Hidden fault zone. The geometry, width and continuity of precious metals mineralization changes along strike in the deposit in conjunction with a bend in the MCFZ and its intersection with the Hidden fault zone. To the south, gold and antimony mineralization occur within a breccia zone of the MCFZ. The width of mineralization ranges from 80 ft to 165 ft, extends for over 800 ft along strike, and is open at depth in this area.
**Figure 6-3:****Yellow Pine Geological Model**
In the central region of the deposit, between 1,188,200N and 1,189,600N, mineralization is broadly disseminated over a width of 500 ft east of the Hanging Wall fault and west of the post-mineralization Hennessey fault, except where Hennessey fault has offset the western part of the mineralization to the north (Figure 6-4). Gold and antimony mineralization in the central region of the deposit are bounded to the south by a complex fault network. The width of

mineralization in the central area of the Yellow Pine deposit ranges from 165 ft to over 650 ft wide, over 1,400 ft of strike length and extends down dip over 1,200 ft.
Mineralization in the northern Homestake area of the Yellow Pine deposit ranges from 80 to 150 ft thick and extends for over 800 ft along strike and down dip. Mineralization occurs as a tabular body in the hanging wall of the Hidden fault/Clark Tunnel structure. The tabular zone steepens to the west and is truncated to the west against the East Boundary fault, a gouge zone within the MCFZ. Directly east of the MCFZ gouge, is a silicified fault corridor which is moderately mineralized in the Homestake area. Gold mineralization also occurs within the metasediments at Homestake, where both disseminated and vein-hosted gold occurs within the upper Calc-Silicate and Middle Marble formations.

| 6.1.2 | Hangar Flats Deposit | |
Mineralization in the Hangar Flats Deposit is entirely intrusive hosted and is localized in and along the flanks of the MCFZ. The highest grades of gold, silver, and antimony occur within sub-vertical, north-plunging, tabular to pipelike breccia bodies formed at the intersection of the main north-south structural features and shallowly northwest-dipping dilatant splay structures (Figure 6-5). These mineralized breccia zones range from 16 ft to over 330 ft in true thickness and can be traced several hundred feet down dip. Disseminated replacement style gold mineralization occurs throughout the MCFZ and eastern footwall in higher-grade tabular breccia zones. Disseminated gold mineralization also occurs as shallowly dipping tabular bodies along the northwest dipping splay structures, which pinch out to the east away from the main MCFZ. Alteration zonation is similar to that developed in the Yellow Pine deposit, but more tightly constrained to structures (Figure 6-6).

**Figure 6-6:****Hangar Flats Mineralized Zone and Generalized Alteration Zonation**
| 6.1.3 | West End Deposit | |
Mineralization in the West End Deposit is structurally and stratigraphically controlled. Within the WEFZ, gold mineralization occurs within silicified breccia zones, sheeted quartz-adularia vein arrays and as replacement style mineralization situated where the northwest striking, northeast dipping calc-silicate and schistose units intersect the WEFZ (Figure 6-7). Alteration is dominated by sulfide replacement of iron-bearing mineral phases in favorable metasedimentary rocks and associated with quartz-potassium feldspar replacement and quartz-adularia-carbonate-sulfide veining (Figure 6-8). These mineralized zones occur as stacked ellipsoidal bodies plunging along the intersection of favorable lithologic units and faults zones and as tabular bodies extending along bedding (Figure 6-5). Mineralization also occurs as fracture filling within siliciclastic sequences and other less favorable lithologic units. True widths of these bodies range from 50 ft to over 330 ft. Drilling by Perpetua Resources has intersected gold mineralization associated with the WEFZ well below the historic pit bottom as deep as 1,300 ft below the original ground surface - where mineralization was exposed prior to mining. The hanging wall of the WEFZ tends to exhibit relatively more dilatant and dispersed structures relative to the footwall and, therefore, is more significantly mineralized. Open-space-fill quartz veins and silicified breccias are typical within higher-grade zones of mineralization. The degree of oxidation in the West End Deposit is a function of both depth and proximity to faults and fractures. Both pervasive and fracture hosted oxidation is common throughout the deposit to depths of approximately 300 ft below the pre-mining topographic surface. Discrete zones of pervasive oxidation occur below this depth in the vicinity of the WEFZ and subsidiary

| 6.2 | Deposit Types | |
Gold-antimony-silver-tungsten deposits of the Stibnite Mining District (the District) are not readily categorized based on a single genetic deposit model due to complexities associated with multiple overprinting mineralization events and uncertainties regarding sources of mineralizing hydrothermal fluids. Early workers attributed the mineralization to the Idaho Batholith (Schrader and Ross, 1926); to hot springs associated with igneous intrusions (Thomson, 1919); to the Thunder Mountain caldera (Larsen and Livingston, 1920); to Tertiary dikes and small stocks (Bell, 1918; Thomson, 1919); or to both the batholith (gold and antimony) and the volcanics (mercury) (Currier 1935). Workers in the early 1970s considered some of the mineralization to be similar in style to deposits in the Yellow Jacket Co-Cu-Au belt farther east and attributed the precious metal mineralization to iron formations associated with what were interpreted as metavolcanics rocks (Jayne, 1977). Cookro (1985) attributed the tungsten to Cretaceous skarns. Cookro et al. (1987) noted isotopic signatures that suggested an igneous or metamorphic origin likely of Late Cretaceous age but also noted the potential for overprinting Tertiary mineralization. Criss et al. (1983; 1991) noted associations between Tertiary intrusions and meteoric dominated epithermal systems including Yellow Pine. Bookstrom et al. (1998) attributed the various metals in the District to a variety of deposit types including distal disseminated gold, Au-Ag and mixed metal veins, simple antimony veins, disseminated antimony, quartz-scheelite veins and breccia deposits, mixed metal skarns and hot springs mercury. Konyshev (2020) noted similarities to the reduced intrusive systems in the Tintina Belt, specially Donlin Creek. Others have noted similarities to Carlin-type systems and reduced intrusion gold deposits (Dail et al., 2015; Dail, 2016; Hofstra et al., 2016) and orogenic gold to antimony-gold bearing Carlin-like systems in China (Dail, 2014; Gillerman et al., 2019b). The complicated paragenesis and prolonged extent of mineralizing events in the area spanning tens of millions of years preclude application of a single genetic model.
A generalized model for the earliest disseminated gold-arsenic replacement mineralization event could involve assimilation of reduced metals-enriched black shales in ascending magmas with subsequent differentiation of metal enriched volatile phases and passage of those fluids into the shallow crustal environment along regional, deep-seated structures. In southeast Idaho, Hall et al. (1978) and Mclntyre et al. (1976) noted scavenging of metals from Paleozoic rocks by magmatic and meteoric fluids associated with both Cretaceous and Tertiary granites in a 145-km long by 15-45-km wide belt of metalliferous Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic units known as the Idaho Black Shale Belt. These rocks are not present in the District but do occur directly along strike and may be present at depth beneath the District (Dail, 2015; Gillerman et al., 2019; Wintzer, 2019). The Bayhorse area stratigraphic succession, which includes the Idaho Black Shale Belt, is interpreted to be at least partly correlative to the Paleozoic sediment package at Stibnite (Yonkee et al., 2015; Lewis et al., 2014) and Neoproterozoic to Ordovician carbonate and siliciclastic sequences in north Idaho and eastern Washington also may be correlative. Geochemical and isotopic associations imply hydrothermal cells scavenged at least some metals from older strata not exposed in the District or immediate area including some with derivation from Archean crust or protoliths. Gillerman et al., (2014; 2019) reported Pb isotopic values from Stibnite ore minerals that included a component derived from Archean crustal sources. Wintzer (2019) compared the common lead signature of rocks and ores in the metalliferous Black Shale sequence in southeast Idaho to ores and minerals in the District and there is a close correlation providing evidence for magmatic assimilation and/or deep circulation of hydrothermal fluids to deep crustal levels where rocks with these lead isotopic signatures may be present. Taylor et al. (2007) used strontium and neodymium isotope data to draw similarities between southeast Idaho Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic sediment isotopic signatures and those of the Atlanta lobe of the batholith, inferring these sediments were assimilated into the batholith. In the Idaho Panhandle, Rosenberg and Wilkie (2016) reported an isotopic link between Late Cretaceous-Early Paleocene hydrothermal systems and buried Archean crust in Snowbird-type fluorite deposits

contemporaneous with extensional faulting and intrusion of the Bitterroot lobe of the Idaho Batholith, suggesting assimilation of the shale belt may have occurred along much of the length of the Cretaceous accretionary margin.
Isotopic and petrochemical characteristics that suggest hydrothermal fluids may have been sourced from reduced magmas that incorporated older metasedimentary rocks during crustal ascension (Gillerman et al, 2019). However, there are no known intrusive rocks of the same age in the District or area. Fluid chemistry, mineralogy, timing and tectonic setting of this mineralization event is consistent with the gold deposition mechanism proposed by Muntean et al. (2011) for formation of Carlin-type gold deposits (CTGDs), in which magmas formed due to asthenospheric upwelling during Tertiary slab delamination and underwent a mid-crustal fractionation process preferentially incorporating copper into a monosulfide solid solution and generating residual gold-rich magmas. Fluids resulting from volatile saturation during magma ascent underwent additional segregation in which gold, sulfur and arsenic are concentrated in the vapor phase and iron partitions into the brine phase allowing significant mass transport of gold in vapor while precluding pyrite precipitation. Subsequent mixing of the vapor with meteoric water, reaction of acidic gold-rich fluids with carbonate minerals and scavenging of iron from host rocks results in deposition of gold in rimmed arsenian pyrite and arsenopyrite over broad regions of disseminated mineralization characteristic of both Carlin-type and Stibnite deposits. Host rock lithologies differ from CTGDs, but tectonic setting on the passive Paleozoic margin, absence of causative intrusions, fluid chemistry, depth of formation, overall geochemical relationships (Figure 6-9), transtensional to extensional structural associations and timing of mineralization relative to Laramide slab delamination are compellingly similar.

The earlier gold-arsenic mineralization event was overprinted by younger, lower temperature Sb-W mineralization and, subsequently, epithermal gold mineralization associated with quartz-adularia-carbonate veins. The Sb-W deposits of the Stibnite Mining District share similarities with other Au-Sb-W deposits in Spain, Portugal, Bolivia and China, as described by Dail (2014; 2016) and Gillerman et al. (2019) to include associations with major shear zones, Paleozoic host rocks (especially carbonate sequences), quartz and carbonate gangue mineralogy, and low temperatures of formation. Based on similar ages, the epithermal vein mineralization, and possibly the Sb-W mineralization, resulted from circulation of meteoric fluids driven by shallow Eocene intrusions in an extensional environment.
A schematic of the geologic setting for the various deposits and exploration prospects is shown on Figure 6-10 to Figure 6-12. These figures (modified from Gillerman et al. (2019b) illustrate the spatial relationships of each major deposit type, the intrusion(s), and the associated hydrothermal systems over time.

| 7 | Exploration and Drilling | |
The District has been the subject of exploration and development activities for over 100 years, yet much of the area remains poorly explored due to its remote location, poor level of outcrop and extensive glacial cover. Perpetua Resources has reliable records for several thousand historical drill holes (exclusive of blast holes) totaling nearly 450,000 ft. Other historical drilling campaigns are known to have occurred, but were poorly documented, and that information is not tabulated in this Report.
In addition to the historical drilling, Perpetua Resources has completed extensive exploration work over the last decade that has included: geophysics; rock, soil and stream sampling and analysis; geologic mapping; mineralogical and metallurgical studies; and extensive drilling campaigns. Since 2009, Perpetua Resources has completed over 775 drill holes totaling over 375,000 ft. Details of the various drilling campaigns and methods are described in Section 7.5.
This newer data has been integrated with datasets from previous operators and provides a comprehensive toolkit for future exploration. These efforts have led to the identification of over 75 prospects with varying levels of target support. These prospective areas include targets within, under and adjacent to existing deposits; bulk mineable prospects along known or newly identified mineralized trends; high-grade underground targets and early-stage greenfield prospects and conceptual targets based on geophysics or geologic inference. Details of some of the more promising targets are summarized herein.
**Exploration targets include conceptual geophysical targets, geochemical targets from soil, rock and trench samples, and results from widely spaced drill holes; as a result, the potential size and tenor of the targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources on these prospects and this data may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability**.
| 7.1 | Exploration Potential | |
Numerous prospects have been discovered during exploration and development activities in the Stibnite Mining District (District) over the past 100 years using a variety of methods; some of these prospects were developed into mines while others remain undeveloped. Besides pit expansion possibilities around and below the three main deposits (Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End), other exploration targets may one day warrant consideration for development if they can be proven viable after additional exploration, environmental, socio-economic, metallurgical, engineering, and other appropriate studies and following any required permitting. Perpetua Resources has developed an extensive pipeline of over 70 discrete high-potential exploration targets within the core of the District, but much of the District and land position is poorly explored even today after over 100 years of activity in the area. Besides extensive drilling campaigns, exploration work by Perpetua Resources has included collection and gold- and multi-element analyses of approximately 300 -80 mesh stream sediment samples; approximately 5,000 -80 mesh soil samples; approximately 2,500 rock chip samples; collection and analyses of a 595 line-mile airborne electromagnetic (EM) and aeromagnetics survey; induced polarization and resistivity surveys along 13 lines, totaling 13 line-miles; Self Potential

(SP) surveys along 6 lines totaling 4.23 line-miles; and controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) surveys along 13 lines totaling 31 line-miles. These geochemical and geophysical surveys were integrated with extensive historical operator exploration data to generate and further define exploration targets.
Some of the more significant prospects are summarized below and shown on a simplified geologic map (Figure 7-1) modified from Stewart et al. (2016). Conceptualized cross sections through the east side and west sides of the District are provided as Figure 7-2.

| 7.2 | Exploration Methods | |
Perpetua Resources, its predecessors, and historical operators and owners have used a variety of techniques to evaluate the mineral potential of the Stibnite District. These techniques include geologic mapping, stream sediment and rock chip sampling, geophysical surveys, petrological and mineralogical research, trenching and drilling.
| 7.3 | Potential for Expansion of The Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats and West End Deposits | |
All three major deposits with reported Mineral Resources (Section 11 of this Report) remain open to expansion and this potential is described in the following sections subject to the caveats for exploration prospects noted previously in this section. Mineralized material occurs between, beneath, and laterally around both the mineral reserve pits and conceptual mineral resource cones for all three deposits. A map showing the reserve pit limits used for the TRS and some of these opportunities at the Yellow Pine deposit and West End deposits is provided in Figure 7-3. Any such expansion, to the extent not included in Perpetua Resources approved Plan of Operations or other federal or state permits, may be subject to additional requirements. Before proceeding with any such expansion, Perpetua Resources would evaluate and comply with any environmental review and/or permitting requirements applicable to the expansion.

| 7.3.1 | Yellow Pine | |
The Yellow Pine Deposit is open at depth and along strike in the north, northeast, and southwest directions along the Meadow Creek Fault Zone (MCFZ) and subsidiary structures. Targets are defined by mineralized holes drilled by both Perpetua Resources and pre-Perpetua Resources operators. The area between the two deposits is also poorly tested and is mostly covered with talus, but mineralization is known to exist along the Huckleberry Fault Zone (Figure 7-4) and presents a promising but poorly evaluated target. Highlights of some of the other targets in and around the Yellow Pine deposit are discussed below.
Other targets associated with the Yellow Pine deposit include the Monday Tunnel, Hidden Fault Deep, Big G, North Meadow Creek Fault, Clark Knob, and Sub W targets.

**Figure 7-4:****E-W Cross Section 1,189,400N through the Yellow Pine and West End Deposits**
The Monday Tunnel Target on the continuation of the MCZF south of the main Yellow Pine Deposit has been the subject of underground exploration and limited drilling by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and Bradley Mining Company in the 1940s-1950s and more recently by Perpetua Resources. Mineralization is relatively narrow and steeply dipping and occurs in intrusive rocks along and within the MCFZ and metasedimentary rocks east of the fault but is covered beneath a relatively thick (100-200 ft) veneer of glacial materials.
The Hidden Fault Deep Target is located at the northwest edge of the Yellow Pine Deposit (Figure 7-3) along the trace of the Hidden Fault Zone (HFZ). The target is supported by three Perpetua Resources holes covering an area approximately 1,100 ft (NE-SW) by 450 ft (NW-SE) over a range of 5,185 to 5,900 ft in elevation. The HFZ is poorly defined away from the main pit area, likely has had post-mineral movement, but remains open to the southwest and down dip.
The Big G Target comprises a northeast-trending zone 1,050 ft long by 500 ft wide lying along the trace of the G-Fault at depth and contains some promising intercepts (Figure 7-3). The G-Fault is a structure originally mapped underground and in the open pit during the Bradley era and is interpreted to be a mineralized structure that underwent post-mineralization movement.
The North Meadow Creek Fault Target lies on the northeast side of the Yellow Pine deposit and is defined by fifteen Perpetua Resources and several pre-Perpetua Resources drill holes (Figure 7-3). The zone is bounded on the northwest by the East Boundary Fault and extends across an elongated ellipsoidal target area to the northeast and southwest. Mineralization is hosted in intrusive rocks west of the MCFZ and within metasedimentary rocks and intrusives east of the fault. The MCFZ exhibits post-mineralization displacement with the latest movement likely having a right-lateral sense of displacement. This post-mineralization movement has attenuated mineralization, forming lenses that vary in grade depending upon the amount of mineralized rock versus unmineralized rock caught up in the structural zone.

The Clark Knob Target consists of a large ovoid area located beneath and along the flanks of the northwestern end of the Yellow Pine Mineral Reserve pit and contains a large number of drill holes that encounter mineralization. Mineralization has been intersected down-dip of the intervals within the mineral reserve pit both within the conceptual mineral resource cone and below it (Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-5).
**Figure 7-5:****E-W Cross Section 1,189,900N through the Clark Knob Target**
| Note: | Potential mineralization shown here may be partially included within the Conceptual Mineral Resource Cone as discussed in Section 11 of this TRS. | |
The Sub W Target consists of the area beneath the former Yellow Pine pit and Mineral Reserve pit at depth and contains several intercepts in an area approximately 650 ft (NE-SW) by 300 ft (NW-SE) over elevations ranging between 5,000 and 5,700 ft (Figure 7-3).
| 7.3.2 | Hangar Flats | |
The Hangar Flats Deposit is located along the MCFZ and the intersection of a series of subsidiary or splay faults that trend east-northeast and northeast and dip to the northwest. A corridor more than 3,000 ft long north, east, and west of the main deposit is inadequately drill tested outside of the known deposit (Figure 7-6). Targets associated with the Hangar Flats deposit include Hangar Flats Deep, DMEA, 11-99, and HF East targets (Figure 7-7 and Figure 7-8).
Historical sampling and production records from the former Meadow Creek Mine define the Hangar Flats Deep (HFD) Target, a zone of high-grade gold antimony mineralization in a 30- to 330-ft-wide corridor along the western boundary of the MCFZ that remains open along strike and down dip. This was historically called the West Ore Body by Cooper (1951) and was never mined by previous underground mining operations. Figure 7-7 shows several drill holes, which intersected multiple high-grade intercepts, some containing several percent antimony and highly anomalous tungsten values within broad zones of gold mineralization that represent a portion of this body of mineralized material.

The DMEA target lies beneath the northern part of the Hangar Flats Mineral Reserve Pit and was initially discovered in the early 1950s by USBM and Bradley during underground exploration under the federally sponsored Defense Mineral Exploration Administration program. The MCFZ is poorly tested over a distance of at least several thousand feet beyond the DMEA prospect, which has been explored by a single drift driven along the eastern side of the MCFZ fault trace in this target area. The underground workings were extensively mapped and sampled in the 1950s and indicate the presence of northeast-trending high-grade vein systems. A large zone of mineralization was sampled perpendicular to the MCFZ by pre-Perpetua Resources underground channel sampling, which produced a length-weighed average gold grade of 6.5 g/t over 92 ft (1.56 g/t over 300 ft).
A geotechnical hole (MGI 11 099), drilled west of the Hangar Flats deposit in 2011 intercepted a previously unidentified zone of high-grade gold-antimony mineralization that cut 152 ft, averaging 1.34 g/t Au, 12 g/t Ag, 0.65% Sb. The intercept was at considerable depth downhole and the hole terminated in mineralization. Surface examination above the intercept did not disclose any altered or mineralized rocks at the surface. Mineralization appears open and possibly extends along strike, down dip, and possibly up dip from the drill intercept, based on airborne geophysical surveys (magnetics and EM), CSAMT, and interpretation of oriented core data. However, given that the intercept is in a single hole, the trend of the zone is uncertain.

A large area east of the Hangar Flats Deposit, the HF East Target, has only limited drill testing and there are several large structures (Wonacott, Leonard, and Hampton faults) that could potentially be mineralized along their traces northeast along strike and up dip from the deeper zones intersected in the main deposit area along the MCFZ. Fan drilling in 2009-2010 and historical DMEA-sponsored drilling under the airstrip confirms the northeast striking and northwest dipping low-angle faults extend beneath the valley bottom to the northeast and are at least locally mineralized (Figure 7-6).
| 7.3.3 | MCFZ Trend | |
The MCFZ trend consists of a ~2-mile long north-south string of prospects aligned along the MCFZ and associated cross structures. The Hangar Flats Deposit lies at the southern end with the Yellow Pine Deposit at the northern end. The major prospects along this trend are shown in Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-9. Targets include the Monday Tunnel (Section 7.3.1) and the DMEA Tunnel (Section 7.3.2) at either end of the zone. Other targets include North Tunnel and Smokin Boulder. Conceptual targets north and northeast of the Hangar Flats deposit include at least four stacked mineralized zones known as the Sparkys Revenge, Fulgurite, NDMEA, and Crosscut prospects that are northeast striking, shallow to moderately northwest-dipping, and altered (Figure 7-9). There are several other targets along the western side of the MCFZ and at depth, that are defined by geophysical interpretation and geologic inference.

| 7.3.4 | West End | |
There is potential to expand the West End Deposit at depth down-dip and along strike to the northeast and southwest, peripheral to the proposed West End Mineral Reserve pit. Most of the upper parts of the deposit that were previously mined were in oxidized or transitional materials and, in some cases, legacy operators only utilized cyanide-leach gold assay methods even when the holes intersected sulfide-bearing materials. This was the same for most of the prospects peripheral to the conceptual Mineral Resource pit, as described below. This could result in under-reporting of grades in these target areas and within zones of the West End Deposit itself. Some of the peripheral targets include Exit and Dead End targets on the northern end of the reserve pit; the Stibnite North, Tesla, and Switch targets to the southeast; and the South Midnight and Southwest Extension targets to the south and southwest (Figure 7-10). The Joule prospect is located east of the resource pit and is defined by soil, rock chip, and geophysical anomalies, but has never been drilled.

The West End deposit is open down-dip along nearly its entire strike length (Figure 7-11). The target consists of a poorly explored area 330 ft wide and extending approximately 2,100 ft along strike beneath the Mineral Reserve Limiting Pit.
**Figure 7-11:****E-W Cross Section 1188300N of the West End SW Extension and East Stibnite Targets**
| Note: | Potential mineralization shown here may be partially included within the Conceptual Mineral Resource Cone as discussed in Section 11 of this TRS. | |
The Dead End Fault Target lies below and along the northeast flank of the West End Mineral Reserve near the former NE Extension pit. Mineralization in the NE Extension pit is hosted within the Hermes Marble and the Stibnite Stock and is composed of dense quartz-adularia vein stockworks and sheeted vein arrays, biotite replacement by illite and sulfides, and polylithic breccias in a series of steeply dipping northeast striking faults.
The Stibnite North target is defined by Perpetua Resources and Pioneer Metals drill holes (Figure 7-13). Mineralization may continue down-dip and along strike within favorable faults and lithologies extending past the Mineral Reserve Limiting Pit. Limited outcrop exposures in old, partially backfilled roadcuts indicate the presence of abundant gold-bearing, quartz-adularia-sulfide veins. Structural analysis of the limited outcrop and drill data here suggests a

northeast-striking vein swarm that is steeply dipping to vertical. That vein swarm intersects the lower calc-silicate sequence directly beneath the resource pit. The Ag:Au ratios in drill intercepts are consistent with the presence of these vein systems, which tend to have higher ratios than those in mineralization from the main West End Deposit.

The Exit Target is located northwest of the main West End Fault Zone and includes an extension of the fault to the east northeast. The area is identified by a strong surface soil and rock chip gold anomaly over an area of approximately 950 ft by 1,600 ft. Canadian Superior identified an apparently continuous zone of gold mineralization over 360 ft in outcrop within a distinctive sequence of magnetite schist and phyllite that averages 0.72 g/t gold in chip samples from road cuts (unpublished Canadian Superior maps and records).
The Exit target is adjacent to and northwest of NE Extension target (Figure 7-14) which is located within and along the extension of the fault northeast of the former West End Pit. A conceptual target composed of the Exit and NE Extension zones generally trends northwest-southeast within favorable stratigraphic units where they cut northeast and north-south structural features similar in style to mineralization in the adjacent West End Pit. The target is located beneath and beyond the boundaries of the former open pit.

| 7.4 | Potential Underground Mining Prospects | |
Several prospects and targets have been defined in the District that exhibit potential for discovery of deposits amenable to underground mining subject to the caveats for exploration prospects noted previously in this section. These prospects are located on the east side of the valley and are distinct from those discussed in connection with the MCFZ. The more significant prospects that have been identified are presented below and include Scout, Garnet, Upper Midnight, Doris K, and Fern.
Scout is a potentially underground-mineable Au Ag Sb exploration prospect discovered in the 1930s by Bradley interests and further evaluated during Strategic Minerals investigations in the 1940s and 1950s (Figure 7-15). Detailed exploration by other operators followed between early 1970s and mid-1990s and included IP, VLF electromagnetic surveys, mapping, drilling, and resource estimation. Pre-Perpetua Resources drilling includes 18 holes totaling 6,912 ft. Perpetua Resources work includes IP and CSAMT surveys, mapping, rock and stream sediment sampling, and completion of 28 drill holes totaling 15,859 ft.

**Figure 7-15:****Plan Map of the Scout Prospect**
The Garnet prospect is the site of past underground exploration in the 1920s-30s and a later open pit in the 1990s. The prospect was known in the 1920s as the Murray Prospect when at least two, short underground adits were excavated on antimony-tungsten-gold occurrences (Cooper, 1951). In the 1940s the prospect was briefly examined by the Bradley

interests for antimony and tungsten, but there was minimal work and no reported development during that era. The former underground prospects located to the northwest of the Garnet Creek drainage were reported to have been reopened as dozer cuts in the 1960s and produced and shipped minor amounts of hand-cobbed antimony ore (<100 tons) by the Oberbillig interests from large stibnite veins exposed in the now collapsed and mined out Murray Prospect upper adit (Savage, 1963). The prospect is a potential underground exploration target, but there is a remote possibility of an open pit target as well. Steep slopes likely would impede economic development of an open pit of any significant size for mineralization identified to date due to the interpreted geometry which plunges into the hillside.
There are several targets in and around the former Garnet open pit (Figure 7-16). Mineralization is open down dip of previously mined mineralization hosted within the Fern marble unit (A on Figure 7-16). Much of the past drilling did not penetrate the lower calc-silicate or was not assayed due to sulfide content since the 1970s-1980s drilling was targeting cyanide-leachable oxide ores. Specifically, the intersection of the lower calc-silicate unit, a favorable host sequence elsewhere in the District, and the GCFZ is mostly untested and a promising target (B in Figure 7-16). Holes drilled to the south and west of the open pit were too shallow to have tested that intersection, as were holes to the north. A low resistivity, high chargeability feature at the projected depth and location of the interpreted mineralized body was identified in both an east-west 1976 El Paso frequency-domain EM line approximately 150 ft north of the pit and 2011 Perpetua Resources time-domain IP line, Crowley 1, approximately 450 ft north of the pit.

The Upper Midnight prospect is located north-northeast and northeast of the Garnet Prospect. It was originally identified prior to World War II and briefly examined for the prospects antimony potential by the Bradley interests in the 1950s. The prospect was re-discovered in the early 1970s when El Paso and Superior sampled and defined numerous large gold in soil and rock chip anomalies in the immediate area of the WWII era prospects. In 1976, sampling of a black carbonate outcrop at Upper Midnight returned high-grade gold assays (>40 g/t), which were followed up by

air track, core, and RC drilling that confirmed the presence of a small, poorly defined, but high-grade mineralized zone. Subsequent drilling campaigns included 2,349 ft in 28 shallow core, RC, and air track percussion holes but did not adequately test the down-dip extent or strike extensions of this zone, which appears to be approximately 60 ft thick (true width) with a length-weighted average gold grade within the mineralized zone of 8.33 g/t (Figure 7-17).
**Figure 7-17:****Long Section through Upper Midnight Target looking Northeast**
The Doris K prospect has been known since at least the mid-1920s when it was known as the Doris K #3 prospect (Schrader and Ross, 1926). It was reported to be a high-grade gold-silver-antimony occurrence that was exposed in hand-dug cuts in the 1920s over a 15 ft by 100 ft area with much of the material reportedly averaging over 70% stibnite. Mineralization was described as trending parallel to stratigraphy (northwest striking) with an unmineralized quartzite hanging wall and a mineralized, vuggy, quartz-altered carbonate footwall. Savage (1963) reported that the Oberbillig interests processed some of the antimony-bearing material from this prospect at the United Mercury Mine Mill on Johnson Creek in 1963, but the amount and grade of material removed and processed is unknown. In the 1970s, both El Paso and Canadian Superior conducted soil and rock sampling in the area with one roadcut averaging 2.6 g/t gold over 25 ft within a 90-150-ft wide by 450-ft long roughly north-south breccia body.

High-grade gold occurrences in the Fern area have been known since 1903 (Bell, 1918) when prospectors examined the area during the Thunder Mountain gold rush. Placer mining for gold was attempted around the turn of the century but apparently was unsuccessful. Mercury exploration, development, and minor production (approximately 40 flasks) occurred intermittently from 1917 to the 1920s over a vertical distance of approximately 1085 ft (Larsen and Livingston, 1920; Schrader and Ross, 1926). In the 1940s, the USBM conducted mercury exploration, including extensive trenching (USBM, 1943a, 1943b). In the 1950s, additional trenching was completed under the DMEA program. In the early 1960s, additional sampling, trenching, and drilling of 5 holes totaling 1,503 ft were completed under an Office of Mineral Exploration (OME) contract.
| 7.5 | Drilling | |
The Project area, including the three main deposits, has been drilled by numerous operators, totaling 825,964 ft in 2,864 drill holes, of which Perpetua Resources drilled 778 holes totaling over 376,389 ft since 2009 (Table 7-1). Methods have varied by operator, time period, and deposit across the District. Methods have included air track, auger, churn, both surface and underground core, RC, rotary, sonic, percussion holes, and cone penetration tests. Perpetua Resources employed a variety of drilling methods including core, reverse circulation (RC), auger, and sonic throughout the District, but with the primary method being core. This section presents a discussion on pre-Perpetua Resources drilling followed by a discussion of Perpetua Resources drilling.

The availability of pre-Perpetua Resources drilling data has varied by operator, time period, and deposit. Perpetua Resources has reviewed and incorporated all pertinent and available data into its databases. Incorporated data include geologic logs, drilling recovery, assay values, surface and down-hole surveys, and relevant Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) measures.
Geologic logging associated with pre-Perpetua Resources drilling varied in format between past operators. General logging procedures utilized paper logs including both visual logs and written observations. Characteristics recorded included core, cuttings and sludge recovery, lithology, alteration, pertinent mineralogy, sulfide percentage, oxide percentage/intensity, structures, and assay values such as gold, silver, antimony, and tungsten.
Drilling recovery varied by era of drilling. Early drilling by Bradley and USBM had poor recovery due to the drilling technology of the time. Core recovery from later operators, however, was much better with Pioneer, Hecla, and Superior showing moderate recovery (averages in the 60-70% range), El Paso and Ranchers showing better recovery (averages in the 70-80% range), and Barrick exceeding 90% recovery.
Data for QA/QC programs were available from some pre-Perpetua Resources operators and are discussed in further detail within Section 11 of this Report and data applicability to gold resources is discussed in Section 11 of this Report.
| 7.5.1.1 | Yellow Pine | |
Pre-Perpetua Resources drilling within the Yellow Pine mineralized area was conducted with multiple methods by a number of different companies (see Figure 7-19). The historical Bradley and USBM drilling (conducted prior to 1955) used conventional core drills of the time to drill AX, EX and BX sized core. The Hecla, Superior, Ranchers and Barrick drilling used wire line core drills with core sizes similar to Perpetua Resources, including PQ, HQ, and NQ. The RC drilling was conducted with buggy, track, and truck mounted drills under dry and wet drilling conditions. The RC drill typically used a down hole hammer with a 5.5 inch bit. Samples were collected by both a center return bit and an above-hammer interchange, and then traveled up the center of the drill string so that minimal contamination could occur. Typically,

only a short section of casing was required. According to existing drill logs, operators began plugging their drill holes in the mid-1980s, prior to that time there was no hole-abandonment remediation required for previous drilling.
The operation was an active mine during parts of the drilling and the drill logs, plan maps, and sections illustrate the surveying standards that existed at the time of exploration, development, and mining activity. Historical files do not always describe in detail the methods used for locating holes, however, many survey records from pre-Perpetua Resources drilling do exist, are well preserved, and were utilized to construct the drill hole database. In addition, a considerable number of survey control points, old adits and shafts, and pre-Perpetua Resources drill hole collars were located by Perpetua Resources and included in its surveys, providing increased confidence in the location of pre-Perpetua Resources data including drill holes.

Pre-Perpetua Resources drilling within the Hangar Flats mineralized area was conducted with multiple methods by a number of different companies (see Figure 7-20). Most pre-Perpetua Resources drilling was conducted prior to 1960. Known drill core sizes utilized by pre-Perpetua Resources operators included AX, EX, BX and NX and were reduced as drilling conditions required. Typically, only a short section of casing was required. According to existing drill logs, operators began plugging their drill holes in the mid 1980s, prior to that time there was no hole-abandonment remediation required.
The drill logs, plan maps, and sections illustrate the surveying standards that existed at the time of exploration, development, and mining activity. Many survey records from previous drilling and underground development work by Bradley, as well as later campaigns under contract to the Defense Minerals Exploration Administration (DMEA) do exist, are well preserved, and were utilized to digitize the historical underground development workings and catalog drill data. Several of the older 1940s drill hole collars are still preserved and were surveyed and found to be within 3-6 ft of their expected locations, however, most collars were typically not preserved. Most of the later generation of drill holes, completed by Hecla in the area during the late 1980s, were located and surveyed in 2009 and 2010 and were found to be accurate to within 10-20 in.

| 7.5.1.3 | West End | |
Pre-Perpetua Resources drilling within the West End mineralized area was conducted with multiple methods by many different companies, all of which were reputable industry operators or contractors (Figure 7-21). Most of the drilling was conducted in the 1970s and 1980s. Core drilling was much less common than RC and Air Track drilling, consisting of about 10% of drillholes mostly completed in the 1970s. The RC drilling was conducted with buggy, track, or truck mounted drills under dry and wet drilling conditions. The RC drills typically used a down hole hammer with a 5.5-inch bit. Samples were collected by both a center return bit and an above-hammer interchange, and then traveled up the center of the drill string so that minimal contamination could occur. Typically, the overburden in the mineralized area was very thin, and only a short section of casing was required. According to existing drill logs, operators began plugging their drill holes in the mid 1980s, prior to that time there was no hole-abandonment remediation required for previous drilling.
Historically, a drill location was first laid out by the mine surveyors with a specified easting and northing, and then a drill pad was constructed. After the pad was completed, the collar point was re-established. Original surveyors records for most of the pre-Perpetua Resources drill holes are well preserved, and surveyed coordinates were verified against logs, as well as the dataset used in the mineral resource models. Pre-Perpetua Resources drill hole collars were typically not preserved due to post-drilling mining operations in the area, but some collars have been located by Perpetua Resources in its surveys and found to be accurate to within 3-15 ft. with some exceptions.

| 7.5.1.4 | Historical Tailings | |
Pre-Perpetua Resources drilling within the Historical Tailings area was conducted primarily for water quality monitoring purposes (Figure 7-22). Stibnite Mines Inc. is the only known pre-Perpetua Resources operator to have drilled in this area and they used both RC (in 1996) and auger (in 1994) drilling techniques.
**Figure 7-22:****Historical Tailings Drill Hole Collar Locations**

| 7.5.1.5 | Scout | |
Pre-Perpetua Resources drilling in the Scout area was conducted with multiple methods by many different companies. Bradley generally drilled AX, EX and BX core in the 1940s and 50s while Pioneer and El Paso drilled BQ, BX, NX, and HQ in the 1990s and 1970s respectively. According to existing drill logs the overburden thickness in this area is significant and, in some instances, operators were forced to abandon drill holes due to collapsing conditions. There was no hole-abandonment remediation required at the time of the previous drilling.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Historical files do not always describe in detail the methods used for locating holes, but conventional survey methods tied to existing ground control were typically utilized. However, the drill logs, plan maps, and sections illustrate the standards that existed at the time of exploration. Some of the pre-Perpetua Resources hole collars are still preserved and were surveyed and found to be within 3-6 ft of their expected locations. Most collars were not preserved.
| 7.5.1.6 | Pre-Perpetua Resources Coordinates and Grid Conversions | |
Three common local mine grids were used for surveying hole locations by pre-Perpetua Resources operators: the Bradley, Ranchers, and Hecla grids. Some other grids were occasionally used, but they were able to be converted into one of the three main grid systems. Each of the three grid systems had a known conversion into Idaho State Plane West with NAD27 Datum.
Perpetua Resources has used two separate methods for grid conversion from historical coordinate systems. From the Project inception until 2013, coordinates were converted by first converting historical coordinates into the Hecla grid, then into Idaho State Plane (NAD27). Standard reprojection techniques with GIS software were used. In 2013, Perpetua Resources contracted Russell Surveying, Inc., a licensed and registered professional surveyor in Idaho to create conversions from various grid systems directly into NAD83 UTM coordinates. These conversions provided the basis for GIS coordinate systems in the historic grids that can be projected into any modern coordinate system and vice-versa accurately. These GIS coordinate systems provide the current conversion method for pre-Perpetua Resources grid coordinates to 1983 Idaho State Plane (feet).
| 7.5.2 | Perpetua Resources Exploration Drilling | |
Perpetua Resources drilling is detailed in Table 7-3. Core and RC drilling was primarily conducted by Perpetua Resources for mineral resource definition and geotechnical data collection. Air lift and sonic drilling were conducted for monitoring wells and bedrock depth determination. Auger drilling was conducted for geotechnical investigation of unconsolidated material and resource definition of historical tailings. Cone penetrometer tests were performed for geotechnical investigation of unconsolidated materials.

At Yellow Pine, drilling was conducted in a wide range of orientations with approximately 80-160 ft spacing within the deposit. Drillholes are typically oriented to the southeast, south or northwest and inclined steep to moderately. This orientation provides an oblique angle of intersection between the predominant orientation of mineralization and the drill hole.

At Hangar Flats, drilling was conducted in a wide range of orientations with approximately 100-210 ft spacing. The holes typically bear to the south through west and are moderately inclined on average. The drilling that is oriented to the south and southeast intercepts the northeast trending mineralization at a preferable orientation near true thickness. The drilling oriented approximately easterly that is targeting the subvertical north-south trending mineralization commonly intercepts the mineralization at an oblique angle.
At West End, most drill holes are arranged in parallel at 65-100 ft spacing on section lines and inclined steeply to the northwest along parallel sections 100 ft apart. The mineralization is interpreted to follow two main orientations controlled by both the fault planes and stratigraphy, of which the drill holes intercept at a variety of angles.
In the Historical Tailings, drilling has defined a flat-lying zone of fine-grained mine tailings of potentially economic grade. Drilling was completed with an auger rig using vertical holes with approximately 230 ft spacing which crosscut the tailings perpendicular to the body. Intercepts are considered nearly true thickness.
At Scout, drilling is widely spaced (approximately 275-400 ft) and is oriented to the east to drill across the main mineralized zone to obtain true thickness.
| 7.5.3 | Site Characterization Drilling | |
Numerous drilling campaigns have been conducted on the site for purposes other than resource exploration and definition. These programs included monitoring well installation, geotechnical investigations such as infrastructure site evaluation, and environmental monitoring (Figure 7-23). Several of the previous operators conducted geotechnical and hydrological drilling for various purposes and many of their records still exist. The existing geotechnical data has been used by Perpetua Resources for initial planning purposes and several of the previous wells are still being utilized for water supply and monitoring purposes.
Seventy-two core drillholes were drilled with tooling to collect oriented structural data. Core in split tubes was logged for geotechnical purposes by a geologist at the rig or in the core shack. These drill holes were also utilized for resource estimation and geologic modeling. Numerous non-resource holes were drilled for geotechnical analysis in soils for environmental or infrastructure site planning purposes. These drill holes included auger, sonic, core, and cone penetration test methods. Some of these holes were usable in resource estimation and geologic modeling but most were not drilled within resource areas. For example, holes around the Historical Tailings area generate data for site condition evaluation beneath the potential tailings storage facility. Other areas with drilling for site condition investigation include the potential mine camp site, the potential mill site, the potential development rock stockpile sites, and the potential diversion tunnel site. Between 2024-2025, an additional sixty geotechnical boreholes were completed for pit stability analysis, foundation investigations, planned road and bridge abutment evaluations and other ancillary purposes.
Some historic drillholes for purposes such as geotechnical investigation and water monitoring have surviving records. The current drilling database contains 25 pre-Perpetua Resources water monitoring wells which were drilled by SMI in the mid-90s, generally in the area currently known as Historic Tailings. Sixteen auger drillholes were commissioned in 1988 by Hecla for geotechnical investigation purposes, but not water monitoring, on the area currently known as the Hecla Heap. Hecla also drilled 2 geotechnical core holes at Yellow Pine in 1989 which have surviving geotechnical records.

| 7.5.4 | Metallurgical Drilling | |
Perpetua Resources drilled 15 core holes in PQ core size to provide metallurgical sampling material. Quartered core from these holes was assayed for use in mineral resource estimation, typically half-core was submitted or retained for metallurgical work, and the remaining quarter-core was archived in the Perpetua Resources core storage facilities.
Additionally, core samples were taken from 302 other drill holes to be used for metallurgical testing. These holes were generally drilled with HQ core (except the Historical Tailings, which were drilled via hammer-sampler auger) and were selected to generate representative samples for metallurgical programs such as variability testing, flotation cell testing, and pilot plant testing. A total of 30 PQ and HQ core holes were drilled between 2023-2025 for the collection of metallurgical samples in support of the Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC) initiatives. Sites where borehole samples for metallurgical testing were completed are provided in Figure 7-23.
| 7.6 | Drilling Data Collection | |
| 7.6.1 | Geologic Logging | |
Geologic logging performed by Perpetua Resources utilized paper log sheets in 2009-2010 and digital logging methods from 2011-present. In 2009 and 2010, geologic logging on paper was completed onsite after core was received from the drillers. Logs included both visual and written observations recording lithology, alteration, pertinent mineralogy, sulfide percentage, oxide intensity, and structures. These paper logs were digitally captured after the 2009 and 2010 field seasons.
In 2011-2017, preliminary core logging was completed on site and detailed logging was completed at the core logging facilities in Valley County. Preliminary geological logging performed at Stibnite after core was received from drillers identified general geology and alteration for hole-tracking and daily reporting purposes. Subsequent detailed geologic logging was conducted using Microsoft Access digital logging forms. Pertinent geologic observations were digitally recorded including recovery, rock quality, lithology, alteration, mineralization, and structures. The Microsoft Access form was also used to record sample intervals and basic header information including azimuth, inclination, survey coordinates, logging geologist, drilling contractor, etc. Once logging was completed for a hole, the completed log was added to Perpetua Resources Microsoft Access database after data verification. All logging was completed on-site beginning in 2017 and is located onsite at present.
Reverse circulation chip logging in 2011 and 2012 was completed using paper logs either at the drill rig or at the Stibnite core facility. These paper logs were later entered digitally using Microsoft Access logging forms and the logs were added to the database.
| 7.6.2 | Drilling Recovery | |
In general, both RC and core recovery were good for all drilling completed by Perpetua Resources. Core recovery averaged 90.5%, and RC recovery was good to excellent. Whenever the RC drilling encountered voids, recovery suffered significantly, and if it could not be regained, the hole was terminated.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Numerous studies and statistical evaluations have been performed by Perpetua Resources staff testing the relationship between recovery and grade across the Project for both pre-Perpetua Resources drilling and recent drilling conducted by Perpetua Resources. No meaningful relationship could be found.
Cyclicity issues were identified within a small number of the RC holes drilled by Perpetua Resources. Individual intervals were analyzed and those showing cyclicity were flagged for omission in mineral resource modeling. Problematic intervals were only identified and flagged in a small number of RC holes which were all drilled in 2011 and, as a result, these holes were excluded from and not considered material for the Mineral Resource estimation.
| 7.6.3 | Rock Quality Designation | |
Rock Quality Designation (RQD) is a measure of naturally occurring fractures in a rock and was calculated when possible as part of the standard core logging procedures. RQD was measured as the sum of all complete core fragments with lengths greater than 3.9 in (10 cm) in a given core run with > R1 hardness value (will not crumble under a firm blow with the point of a geologic hammer) over the length of the core run. Lengths were measured along the centerline of the core, ignoring fault gouge or other low competency material and paying close attention to mechanical breaks from drillers boxing the core, as these are not naturally occurring fractures. Standard industry practice for RQD measurements and analysis are that they are performed on-site and do not require laboratory analysis or quality assurance and quality control measures.
| 7.6.4 | Drill Hole Collar Surveys | |
During the Perpetua Resources drilling programs, drill sites were located using handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Drill hole orientations were calculated based on actual drill collar locations to ensure that holes were properly oriented. Alignment stakes were set and drill alignments surveyed using conventional survey tools or in some cases a Brunton style compass.
Once holes were completed, the collar was marked with a cement cap containing a steel pin attached to a steel chain extending above ground surface with a tag identifying the drill hole number. Over the course of Perpetua Resources drilling programs, these collars were either surveyed by a professional surveyor or an onsite geologist using a backpack GPS unit. Approximately 75% of drillholes collars were surveyed by a professional surveyor.
| 7.6.5 | Down Hole Surveys | |
Down hole surveys were performed on core holes using various survey instruments including an acid etch clinometer, tropari or, for Perpetua Resources drilling programs, a Reflex EZ-Shot tool to measure deviation from the collared orientations. Surveys were generally taken every 200 ft down hole with some exceptions due to lost or collapsed holes.
Survey values were received from drill contractors on paper logs and were captured in a master spreadsheet for entry into the drilling database. Magnetic declination corrections were applied by the drilling database manager prior to database import. Declination corrections were modified at least annually based on changing magnetic declination, sourced from the NOAA.

| 7.6.6 | Sample Length and True Thickness | |
Sample length was a set value for the RC (5 ft) and auger drilling (5 10 ft within spent ore material, 2 ft within tailings). For core drilling, sample length was determined by the geological relationships observed in the core and was generally 5-7.5 ft. Changes in lithology and mineralization were used as sample breaks, and regular sample intervals were used within lithologic units and intervals of similar mineralization intensity.
Based on the wide range of drill hole orientations, many of the intercept lengths do not represent true thickness of mineralization. In general, at Hangar Flats and West End the drill hole intercept length is greater than the true thickness of mineralization. In the southern and northern areas of Yellow Pine, where mineralization occurs as discrete zones, the drill hole intercept length is generally greater than the true thickness. In the central region of the Yellow Pine deposit where mineralization is broadly disseminated, intercept lengths are equal to, or greater than true thickness.
| 7.6.7 | Core, Cuttings, Reject and Pulp Storage | |
Core and cuttings were received by Perpetua Resources personnel from the drilling contractors and remained under supervision until shipped to Perpetua Resourcess core logging facility in Valley County, ID. Once at the facility, core and cuttings were stored within the building and supervised during the workday and locked when vacant (nights and weekends). After core was logged and sampled, the remaining halved core was stored within Perpetua Resources warehouses, or behind a secured chain-link fenced compound at the Cascade warehouse. Rejects were stored in the same locations. Once pulps were received back from the assay labs, they were stored by Perpetua Resources. Rejects are stored inside of the chain-link fence at the warehouse in Cascade. All storage locations remain locked when no Perpetua Resources personnel are present. In Cascade, both the fence and the warehouse remain locked.
| 7.7 | Drill Hole Data Validation | |
Perpetua Resources and its contractors have completed numerous validations to assess the accuracy of the historical drill hole data and evaluate what data sets are appropriate for estimation of mineral resources. Christopher Dail, C.P.G., the issuers internal QP for geological technical information, directed and reviewed these validations throughout his involvement with the Project, allowing for confidence in the quality of legacy data. Perpetua Resources and previous operators on the property have conducted extensive confirmation drilling programs that provide the basis for statistical and graphical inter-campaign drill hole data validations. Statistical validations completed in 2014 included paired sample analysis, comparison of de-clustered population statistics, panel comparisons and block kriging using different data sets. Prior to statistical validation, data from some drillhole campaigns were deemed unreliable and were removed from the database used for Mineral Resource estimation in Section 11 of this Report.
The review indicates that post-1973 drilling in the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats and West End deposits generally show overall good agreement with Perpetua Resources drilling and between pre-Perpetua Resources campaigns, with certain exceptions. Pre-1953 USBM drilling and Bradley Mining Company surface drilling also compare well to Perpetua Resources and other post-1973 drilling campaigns for gold. Underground drilling generally shows a moderate high bias as compared to Perpetua Resources drilling, as do antimony assays in the Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine deposits. Observed bias in legacy underground drilling campaigns was attributed to orientation bias and structural controls on mineralization rather than analytical or sampling bias.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Perpetua Resources completed mineral resource sensitivity studies to further quantify the potential impact of use or exclusion of various drillhole information. Sensitivities for Yellow Pine in 2014, as previously discussed in the PFS, found only a 4% increase in contained gold using all drillhole data when compared to using only post 1973 data. Similar magnitude changes were observed when excluding Hecla drillhole data for estimation of mineral resources in the Homestake area of the Yellow Pine deposit. Mineral resource sensitivities in 2018, using updated geological models, indicated <4% change for Yellow Pine and <3% change for Hangar Flats by excluding pre-Perpetua Resources data. These sensitivity results are well within acceptable limits for validation of legacy drillhole information and the use of legacy drillhole information in estimation of mineral resources.
Cyclicity issues were identified within a small number of the RC holes drilled by Perpetua Resources. Individual intervals were analyzed and those showing cyclicity were flagged for omission in mineral resource modeling. Problematic intervals were only identified and flagged in a small number of RC holes which were all drilled in 2011 and, as a result, these holes were excluded from mineral resource estimation.
| 7.8 | Drill Hole Database | |
Perpetua Resources drill hole database used for Mineral Resource Estimation, is stored as an SQL database in Hexagon Minesight TorqueTM and contains collar locations stored as NAD83 State Plane feet grid coordinates, drill hole orientations with downhole surveys, assay intervals with gold and silver analyses by fire assay and/or cyanide soluble assay, other geochemical assays including antimony and sulfur, geologic intervals with rock types, core recovery information, and core density measurements. The most common assay lengths are approximately 5 ft long, with the majority of assays between 3 ft and 7 ft in length. The drill hole database contains 1,843 specific gravity measurements, collected on core samples using a water immersion method and verified with independent, third party laboratory measurements.
| 7.8.1 | Yellow Pine Drill Hole Database | |
The Yellow Pine area was explored for gold and antimony by numerous operators, up to and including Perpetua Resources between 2011 and 2017. The Yellow Pine deposit was previously in production in the 1930s 1950s from the Bradley Pit area, while the Homestake area was in production in the late 1980s. The drill hole database contains data for 1,016 separate drill holes representing a mixture of pre 1953 and modern drilling programs. Historical data (i.e. pre-Perpetua Resources) accounts for approximately 48% of the drill hole database by footage, as previously described (Section 7). Multiple statistical validations were completed to assess the quality of the historical drill hole data, as discussed in the PFS. A significant number of historical holes were removed from the dataset used for resource estimation including holes missing critical supporting information, holes with long downhole composited assays, air-track drill holes, R.C. holes showing evidence for cyclicity, and all historical pre 1953 drill holes in the northeast Homestake area of the deposit. In addition, certain historical holes were removed from the estimate which appeared to be mis-located or otherwise erroneous based on improved understanding of controls on mineralization.
For the Yellow Pine deposit, gold, antimony and silver mineral resources were estimated in addition to oxidation intensity and a suite of geochemical concentrations. Table 7-4 shows the number of drill holes and estimation composites utilized in the estimate for the primary commodities, which illustrates that the metal values for gold, antimony, and silver were not consistently analyzed for all sample intervals throughout the various historical drilling campaigns nor were all drillholes deemed to have reliable information for all elements.

| 7.8.2 | Hangar Flats Drill Hole Database | |
The database for the Hangar Flats deposit contains data for 260 separate drill holes representing both historical and modern drilling programs, as previously described in Section 10 of this Report. The drill holes were reviewed, and certain drill holes were not considered for use in mineral resource estimation, including air-track, rotary, and pre-collar drill holes, as well as historical drilling where the methods were questionable or documentation lacking.
Gold and antimony were mined from the Hangar Flats deposit by the Bradley Mining Company from 1928 to 1938 and the deposit was later explored by Bradley in the 1940s, the United States Bureau of Mines from 1951-1954, the Hecla Mining Company from 1988 to 1989, and by Perpetua Resources beginning in 2009, as discussed in Section 10 of this Report. The majority of sampling used in the mineral resource estimate for Hangar Flats is from Perpetua Resources drilling completed primarily from 2009 to 2012. Data from pre-1940s Bradley operations includes exploration drill holes and underground drift samples and was used solely for construction of the geologic model due to uncertainty regarding sampling and analytical methods. Post 1940s Bradley drillholes, United States Bureau of Mines exploration drillholes and drillholes by Hecla were used for mineral resource estimation as this drillhole data is well documented, has been validated by Perpetua Resources drilling and is deemed reliable.
For the Hangar Flats deposit, gold, antimony and silver mineral resources were estimated in addition to oxidation intensity and a suite of geochemical concentrations. Table 7-5 shows the number of drill holes and sample intervals utilized in the estimate for the primary commodities, and illustrates that the metal values for gold, antimony, and silver were not consistently analyzed for all sample intervals throughout the various historical drilling campaigns nor were all drillholes deemed to have reliable information for all elements. Note that samples outside of the domains are not tabulated here as they were not used in estimation of gold, silver, or antimony.

| 7.8.3 | West End Drill Hole Database | |
The West End deposit was explored from 1978-1996 by multiple operators and was previously in production as a heap leach operation during the 1980s and 1990s. The West End drill hole database consists of 943 holes drilled using various methods, as previously described in Section 10. The database consists of collar locations in State Plane grid coordinates, drill hole orientations with downhole surveys, assay intervals with gold and silver analyses by fire assay and/or cyanide soluble assay, geologic intervals with rock types, core recovery information and specific gravity measurements. Certain drill holes were not considered reliable for use in mineral resource estimation, including rotary and air-track drill holes, and other unreliable holes flagged by Perpetua Resources. After removal of selected drill holes and non-bedrock intervals, the final database used for estimation of total gold mineral resources contained 674 drill holes. Approximately 78% of the assay records have gold fire assays (AuFA) and 75% have cyanide soluble gold assays (AuCN). Only Perpetua Resources, Canadian Superior Mining Ltd. (Superior) and Stibnite Mines Inc. (SMI) drill holes were assayed for silver, with the latter exclusively assayed for cyanide soluble silver.

| 7.8.4 | Historical Tailings Drilling Database | |
The drill hole database, for the Historical Tailings Deposits contains collar locations surveyed in UTM grid coordinates, drill hole orientations with downhole surveys, assay intervals with gold, antimony, and silver analyses by fire assay and/or cyanide soluble assay, geologic intervals with material types and in situ density measurements. The database contained data for 73 separate drill holes representing a mixture of historic and modern drilling programs. Some drill holes were not assayed and only used for the establishment of the upper and lower boundaries of the tailings and some drill holes did not intercept tailings material. Only Perpetua Resources drill holes were used in the mineral resource estimates discussed in Section 11 of this Report. Drill holes are primarily hollow-stem auger holes completed in 2013 with some sonic drill holes completed in 2012. Samples not intersecting tailings material were removed from the data set utilized for estimation, as summarized in Table 7-7 which illustrates that the metal values for gold, antimony, and silver in Perpetua Resources drill holes were consistently analyzed for all sample intervals throughout the dataset utilized for estimation. All drill holes are vertical, and the average drill hole spacing is approximately 60 m oriented along a grid rotated to an azimuth of 23 degrees.

| 8 | Sample Preparation, Analyses, and Security | |
This section provides an overview of the sample preparation, analyses, and security procedures used by Perpetua Resources; where available, similar information is also provided for pre-Perpetua Resources activities.
Sample preparation and analyses programs have been undertaken by the operators and vintages of drill campaigns. This section summarizes the verification work and practices employed by each of the operators by year. The Qualified Person (QP) believes that the sample collection, preparation, analysis and security for all Perpetua Resources drilling are consistent with industry standards and best practices supporting their use in mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation as detailed in this study.
| 8.1 | Sampling Methods | |
Throughout the last 90 years, multiple drilling and sampling methods have been used across the district by pre-Perpetua Resources operators as well as Perpetua Resources. Sampling methods and quality control measures have varied based on the era and the type of drilling.
| 8.1.1 | Pre-Perpetua Resources Sampling | |
Drilling on site has utilized industry standard methods for sampling. Early operators utilized methods with small core diameters that required tripping out to recover the core samples. To achieve enough mass to assay, dehydrated drill cuttings and muds (sludge) were combined with the recovered core as was appropriate during that era. Modern era core drilling shifted to larger core size and the use of wireline methods allowing sample recovery without tripping out the drill stem between runs. Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes were drilled under both wet and dry conditions and samples were collected from a cyclone or similar splitter. Sample lengths were generally 5 ft in length, although many sample intervals were selected based on changes in lithology or changes in intensity of alteration and mineralization. Few documents have survived to describe sample preparation methods and little to no chain of custody records for previous operators are available.
| 8.1.2 | Reverse Circulation Drill Sampling | |
Perpetua Resources RC holes were cased into competent bedrock and drilled wet. Samples were collected every five feet and holes flushed and cleaned between samples with water and drilling products. Sampled material was collected from a cyclone splitter into plastic totes. A flocculent was added if necessary and, after settling, the excess clear water was decanted off and the remaining sample was poured into labeled sample bags. QA/QC samples were inserted at the drilling rig by the attending geologist and typically included 1 certified standard, 1 blank and 1 cyclone splitter reject every 20th sample. (i.e., every 100 ft). Sample bags were placed into larger rice bags which were placed into bulk storage sacks and transported to Valley County facilities for shipping to the laboratory. Pre-numbered bar codes were utilized for sample tracking by both Perpetua Resources and the recipient lab.

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 8.1.3 | Core Drill Sampling | |
From the beginning of the core drilling program in 2009, core was generally sampled on 5 ft intervals with sample breaks made at significant changes in lithology or intensity of alteration and/or mineralization. An exception is a period in 2012 when sample intervals for core were varied based on the logging geologists interpretation of the intensity of mineralization such that if core was mineralized, samples were selected in 6.5 ft lengths; if core was not mineralized samples were selected in 7.5 ft lengths. The core logging geologist marked the core with a lumber crayon to provide a line for the core sawyer to split veins and joints into representative halves. Half of the cut core was placed into canvas sample bags, which were placed into labeled rice bags, and then placed into bulk storage sacks for shipment to the laboratory. Typically, sampling was conducted in batches of 50 samples including 2 certified standards, 2 blanks, and 2 quarter core duplicates. Pre-numbered bar codes were utilized for sample numbering. In a few cases, drill hole intervals from twinned holes were composited to produce large bulk samples for metallurgical test work, and in those cases individual sample intervals were not analyzed, but the composites were analyzed.
| 8.1.4 | Sonic and Auger Drill Sampling | |
Sonic drilling samples were collected by the drilling contractor and placed into plastic sleeves which were set into cardboard boxes. This material was sampled in a manner similar to drill core samples.
Mineral resource definition in the unconsolidated Historic Tailings within the Spent Ore Disposal Area (SODA) was conducted with a hollow stem auger drilling method. Auger drilling utilized a split tube and samples were divided in half by the geologist. Material was composited into 10 ft samples within the SODA material and 2 ft samples within the tailings material and then placed into canvas sample bags. The other half of the tailings samples were retained and placed in wooden core boxes. In the Historic Tailings, at least one sample from 35 of the 42 drill holes was taken as a Shelby sample for specific gravity and particle size analysis. The geologist inserted one standard and one blank into the sample set for each hole within the tailings. The split tube was washed thoroughly between samples to prevent cross contamination. Sampling of auger material in non-tailings drillholes was conducted in a similar fashion except samples were collected based on split tube recovery rather than composited depending on material type.
| 8.2 | Security and Chain of Custody | |
All samples were kept under direct supervision of Perpetua Resources staff and its contractors or within locked facilities. Changes in custody were documented with signed and dated Chain of Custody (COC) forms.
RC and auger samples were bagged at the drill rig and prepped for shipment to the assay lab under supervision of the rig geologist. RC and auger samples were shipped to the Valley County logging facility in bulk storage bags accompanied by a signed COC form detailing drill hole numbers, footages, sample numbers, and the shipment date.
Drill core was picked up at the drill rig by the site geologist while performing the daily rig inspections. After inspecting the core boxes for errors, a COC form was completed documenting the transfer of core from the rig to the Stibnite core shack. Often the initial COC would be documented on the drillers daily log and included the box numbers, footages, date, and geologists name and signature. At the core shack, a summary log was completed to verify and record box numbers, footages, lithology, mineralization and other rock characteristics. Upon completion of the summary log, the core was prepared for shipping to the Valley County logging facility by Perpetua Resources staff or contractors. When

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
shipped, core was accompanied by a signed COC form detailing the hole numbers, footages, box numbers, and shipment date.
Once the core or samples were received at the Valley County facility, the receiver checked the COC for errors and stored the core for future logging/sampling in a secured site which was locked when no personnel were present. Once detailed logging and sampling of core was complete, the samples were prepped for shipping, bagged in rice bags, and sealed with tamper proof security tape. From 2015 to present, most of these steps were conducted at on-site facilities and samples were transported to Valley County facilities ready for shipment to the assay lab. Each shipment was accompanied by another COC form to the assay lab. Upon receipt, the lab then verified that the security tape was undisturbed and completed the COC form and any discrepancies noted and the shipper notified and corrections made as necessary and recorded by both the lab, the shipper and the client.
| 8.3 | Density | |
In 2010, Perpetua Resources sent 61 samples from the 2009 and 2010 drilling campaign to ALS Chemex Labs, Ltd. (ALS) for density determination using a paraffin wax coating. Beginning in 2011, density measurements for core material were determined using in-house hydrostatic weighing. Measurements were collected by Perpetua Resources geologists on approximately 0.5 ft core intervals every 50 200 ft downhole, or within different lithologic units, totaling 3,318 intervals. Four hundred seventy-eight (14% of the 3,318) of these density samples were also submitted to ALS for density determination with paraffin wax coating. ALS results compared to measurements by Perpetua Resources showed a root mean squared coefficient of variation (RMS CV; a statistical tool routinely used to determine precision through using the quadratic mean of the relative standard deviation for each pair) of 0.988%, indicating there was no significant difference (assuming a value of zero means perfect measurement duplication) between the in-house measurements and third-party, independent certified lab results for density.
For the unconsolidated material within the Historic Tailings, 35 samples were sent to Strata Geotechnical Testing Laboratories in Boise, ID for density determination using the ASTM D2937 method. This method involves collecting an in situ sample using a drive cylinder with a known volume, weighing the sample, and calculating the density of the collected material.
| 8.4 | Analytical Labs and Methods | |
There is little documentation of the sample preparation, analysis, and security for most samples from pre-Perpetua Resources operators. The United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) utilized a government laboratory and analyzed drill core and sludge using a conventional 30 g fire assay pre-concentration method followed by gravimetric analysis. Other operators used several assay laboratories (both for primary and check assays) with CN leach assays followed by atomic absorption (AA) for oxide mineralization and conventional fire assay techniques for sulfide mineralization. Bradley drilling sludge samples were analyzed using conventional fire assay techniques in company-owned Yellow Pine and Boise laboratories. Table 8-1 shows the various analytical labs used by different operators. The various analytical methods utilized at various laboratories by pre-Perpetua Resources operators had different lower detection limits, upper reporting limits and sensitivities which are documented in the companys database and archives.

| 8.5 | Sample Preparation and Analysis | |
Perpetua Resources samples were received and weighed by the primary assay lab. Core samples were prepared based on laboratory specifications which involved crushed to 70% passing a inch mesh (6 mm) and drying at a maximum of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). Dried material was split and pulverized to 70% passing No. 10 mesh, split again, and pulverized to 85% passing No. 200 mesh. Material passing through the No. 200 mesh was then run with four primary analytical techniques.
Multi-element analysis entailed a 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP AES) for 33 elements. Every 20th sample was digested in aqua regia followed by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP MS) finish for 51 elements with a fluorine add-on. Arsenic had a 5 parts per million (ppm) lower detection limit and a 10,000 ppm upper reporting limit. Samples reporting > 10,000 ppm As were re-analyzed by using a digestion in 75% aqua regia followed by an ICP-AES finish with a lower detection limit of 0.01% and an upper reporting limit of 60%. Antimony had a 5.0 ppm lower detection limit and a 10,000 ppm upper reporting limit. Samples reporting values > 500 ppm Sb were re-analyzed using 0.9 g sample added to 9.0 g Lithium Borate flux and fused in an auto fluxer. A disc was prepared from the melt and analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy with a lower detection limit of 0.01% (100 ppm) and an upper reporting limit of 50%. SGS check assays submitted in 2017 tested an alternate antimony assay method of sodium peroxide fusion with an ICP finish. Statistical comparison of XRF and this new ICP method did not show an appreciable difference in results. Sulfur had a 0.01% lower

detection limit and a 10% upper reporting limit. Samples reporting values > 2% S were re-analyzed by using a 0.01 0.1 g sample in a Leco sulfur analyzer using an Infrared (IR) detection system with a 0.01% lower detection limit and a 50% upper reporting limit. Mercury analysis changed in 2015 from an aqua regia digestion and cold vapor AAS finish to an aqua regia digestion with mass-spec finish. Mercury values in excess of 100 ppm require an aqua regia digestion with ICP finish.
All gold assays were performed using a 30 g fire assay charge followed by an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish with a 0.005 ppm lower reporting limit and a 10 ppm upper reporting limit. Samples reporting values > 6 ppm were re- analyzed using a 30 g fire assay charge followed by a gravimetric finish with a 0.05 ppm lower reporting limit and a 1,000 ppm upper reporting limit. Samples reporting values >10 ppm were analyzed by metallic screen method with a 0.05 ppm lower reporting limit and a 1,000 ppm upper reporting limit.
Silver was analyzed via the initial multi-element ICP-AES analysis with a 0.5 ppm lower detection limit and a 100 ppm upper reporting limit. Samples reporting values > 10 ppm Ag were reanalyzed using an ICP AES or AA finish with a 1.0 ppm lower detection limit and a 1,500 ppm upper reporting limit. Samples reporting values > 750 ppm Ag were reanalyzed using a 50 g fire assay charge followed by a gravimetric finish with a 5 ppm lower detection limit and a 10,000 ppm upper reporting limit.
In some cases, during large diameter drilling for bulk metallurgical sampling a portable XRF unit was utilized to screen materials for compositing prior to shipment to metallurgical and analytical laboratories. Although useful from a bulk sample grade perspective, these types of samples were excluded from use in mineral resource models due to their size and nature of the samples.
| 8.6 | Quality Assurance and Quality Control | |
Perpetua Resources exercised strict and rigorous QA/QC protocols throughout the different drilling campaigns from 2009 to 2025. Periodically, these protocols were assessed for adequacy and improved accordingly. Pre-Perpetua Resources operators conducted various QA/QC programs for both their drilling and mine assay operations but not all records of QA/QC measures have survived to be reviewed by Perpetua Resources. However, Section 8.6.1 details the records that Perpetua Resources has collected and catalogued.
| 8.6.1 | QA/QC Pre-Perpetua Resources | |
Pre-Perpetua Resources operators had varying QA/QC programs, but not all records have survived. Historical reports indicate that Bradley used duplicates and standards as QA/QC measures at Hangar Flats, but exact insertion rates are unknown. QA/QC data which are available from existing records are detailed in Table 8-4 for each operator by deposit.

Rerun assays were performed at internal laboratories.
| 8.6.2 | QA/QC by Perpetua Resources (2009-2018) | |
Perpetua Resources exercised strict and rigorous QA/QC protocols throughout the different drilling campaigns and retained independent qualified persons to review and help improve QAQC procedures. Current procedures include insertion of standards (both certified and in-house customized), blanks, and duplicate samples into the sample stream to ensure confidence in external lab results. In addition, coarse rejects were re-labeled and sent to the primary lab for assay to test splitting and comminution practices. Pulp material was also sent to other laboratories for cross-comparison. Finally, the primary lab analyzes pulp duplicates internally, which are reviewed by Perpetua Resources and included in the QAQC analysis. Table 8-5 shows the insertion rates of various QA/QC measures used in Perpetua Resources drilling since project commencement. The various QA/QC measures are described in detail in the following sections.

Gold grades of 0.025 ppm Au were selected as a control limit for blanks based on background cross-contamination observed following spike samples. Upon evaluation, blanks reporting values below 0.025 ppm Au, a limit consistent with assay lab protocols, were considered satisfactory. Treatment of non-satisfactory samples is discussed in Section 11.7.8 of this Report. Certified blanks reported all but 1 value under this limit and non-certified blanks reported 97.5% of values under this limit.
**Figure 8-1:****Blank Performance********Gold**
| 8.6.4 | Standard Reference Materials QA/QC | |
Insertion rate of standards typically exceeded 5% for drilling within all deposits. Perpetua Resources used a total of 1,705 certified gold standards, 1,044 non-certified gold standards, and 565 certified antimony standards (Figure 8-2, Figure 8-3). Some antimony standards were not certified at the time of use but subsequently received certification.
Upon evaluation, standards reporting within two standard deviations of the expected value were considered satisfactory. Standards were flagged for evaluation when reporting between two and three standard deviations from the expected value and flagged as failed when reporting over three standard deviations. Standards flagged for evaluation were re-run on a case-by-case basis, while the procedures for standards flagged as failed are described in Section 8.6.8. Certified gold standards reported 91.5% of values within satisfactory limits, non-certified gold standards

| 8.6.5 | Field Duplicates QA/QC | |
Perpetua Resources generated 1,880 quarter core duplicates from core holes of which 1,115 were above 0.025 ppm by gold fire assay and 130 were above 0.05% antimony. Reproducibility for quarter core duplicates was fair for both gold and antimony with an RMS CV of 26% for gold and 37% for antimony however, the correlation coefficients for both are excellent at 0.97 (i.e., 1 is perfect). In addition, removal of outliers significantly improves the RMS CV.
Perpetua Resources generated a total of 536 RC field rejects of which 365 were above 0.025 ppm by gold fire assay, and 19 were above 0.05% antimony. Reproducibility for RC field rejects was poor to fair for both gold and antimony with an RMS CV of 23.5% for gold and 18.8% for antimony, respectfully. Figure 8-4 shows a scatter plot of both field duplicate types. The correlation coefficient for the gold trendline is 0.88 and 0.33 for antimony, the latter being impacted by a limited number of analyses and by outliers.

**Figure 8-6:****Blind Rejects Assays**
Pulps were submitted to three different ISO certified laboratories for umpire assays as a cross-check of ALS performance including: American Assay Labs, Inspectorate, and SGS. A total of 1016 pulps were submitted to Inspectorate for gold fire assay of which 988 were above 0.025 ppm. The average percent difference between the Inspectorate assay and the reported ALS assay was -4.57%. Of these samples, 125 were also assayed for antimony of which 63 exceed 0.05% antimony. The average percent difference between ALS and Inspectorate antimony assays for these samples was -4.41%. A total of 1,031 pulps were submitted to AAS for gold fire assay of which 908 were above 0.025 ppm. Eighty-five samples were assayed for antimony that exceeded 0.05%. The average percent difference between the AAS assay and the reported ALS assay was 4.49% for gold and 21.84% for antimony. Removal of sample outliers (absolute percent difference more than 75%) reduces the average antimony difference to 6.88%. Discrepancies are attributed to sample numbering issues at the check lab.
SGS analyzed 177 samples of which 62 were assayed for gold only and 115 were assayed for gold and antimony. One hundred sixty-two samples were above 0.025 ppm gold and 43 samples were above 0.05% antimony. The average percent difference between the SGS assay and the reported ALS assay for gold was 1.08% and for antimony was -3.95%. Figure 8-7 shows the QQ plot of umpire laboratory check assays of pulps.

| 8.6.8 | Work Order Evaluation and Corrective Actions | |
Assay shipments containing drill samples, duplicates, standards and blanks are grouped as work orders, typically containing 50 samples total. Beginning in 2012 and retroactively, each standard and blank within ALS work orders was systematically evaluated using the criteria discussed in Sections 8.6.3 and 8.6.4. If a work order was flagged as questionable, the failed standards or blanks were re-assayed along with the 5 samples sequentially above and below the failure. Some work orders required assay revisions and others contained results that were confirmed by re-assay. When necessary, ALS would re-issue revised certificates and the Perpetua Resources database was updated accordingly. Table 8-6 summarizes the total and revised work orders over the Project to date.

| 8.7 | Conclusions | |
It is the opinion of the QP that the sample collection, preparation, analysis and security for all Perpetua Resources drilling are consistent with appropriate methods for disseminated goldantimonysilver deposits:
| | Perpetua Resources drill programs included insertion of blank, duplicate and standard reference material samples; | |
| | Perpetua Resources QA/QC program results do not indicate any problems with the analytical programs or procedures; | |
| | Perpetua Resources data are subject to validation, which includes checks on lithology data, mineralization/alteration data, sample numbers, and assay data. The checks are appropriate and consistent with industry standards; | |
| | Independent data audits have been conducted, and indicate that the sample collection and database entry procedures are acceptable; and | |
| | All core has been catalogued and stored in secure designated areas and is appropriately safeguarded against weather. | |
Where historical data are available, sample collection, preparation, analysis, and security for pre-Perpetua Resources drill programs, are generally considered to have used accurate methods for disseminated goldantimonysilver deposits but can only be partially verified with appropriate supporting QA/QC results. The QP is of the opinion that the quality and reliability of the sample collection methods, sample security protocols, sample preparation and gold, antimony, and silver analytical data from the pre-Perpetua Resources drilling programs are sufficient to support their use in mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation with the exception of certain holes flagged and determined to be unreliable due to lack of supporting data, poor sample quality, lack of survey control, inappropriate analytical methods or reporting limits or obvious bias. Furthermore, the QP is of the opinion that the quality of the gold, antimony, and silver analytical data from Perpetua Resources drill programs is sufficiently reliable to support their use in mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation with the exception of certain reverse circulation holes that are flagged for exclusion due to cyclicity issues. These assumptions of validity are based on various reviews including analysis and inspection of original drill logs, assay certificates, statistical validations, assessment of geological continuity between pre-Perpetua Resources and Perpetua Resources drill holes, density of drilling, available pre-Perpetua Resources operator laboratory check assays and standards and inter-hole continuity.

**9****Data Verification**
| 9.1 | Introduction | |
Data verification programs have been undertaken by numerous independent consultants as well as Perpetua Resources personnel. This section summarizes the verification work and practices employed for both historical and current data. The Qualified Person (QP) responsible for sections 11 and 12 of this Report, Christopher Dail, C.P.G., believes that the datasets are validated and verified sufficiently to support their use in mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation for each of the respective deposits.
The QP made multiple site visits to Perpetua Resources SGP site in Valley County, and other facilities in Ada County, Idaho, between 2009 and 2025. The most recent visit was in December 2025.
The offices, core logging, and storage facilities have been maintained well and have been clean, well-organized, and provide suitable work space for logging, sample management and archival of technical records. Records for drill and other media sample collection, chain of custody, analytical work and databases are well organized and archived for each stage of the logging and sampling process. All methods and processes adhere to industry standards and best practices and no issues were identified.
During multiple site visits from 2009-2025, inspections of the workshops, offices, reclaimed drill sites, the Yellow Pine, Hanger Flats and West End mineral resource areas along with the outcrops, historical drill collars, and areas of potential disturbance for potential future mining operations have been examined by the QP. Routine site visits have also included multiple visits to the village of Yellow Pine, Idaho, which is the populated area most likely to be affected by any potential mining operation, along with the surrounding environments.
| 9.2 | Perpetua Resources Data Reviews | |
Perpetua Resources professional personnel have constructed and maintained the drillhole and geologic solids databases in-house since project inception. A database specialist is supervised by senior geology staff who is responsible and accountable for all data stored in the drillhole database computer directories. Perpetua Resources has updated and revised the drillhole database on numerous occasions.
Perpetua Resources and its contractors have conducted numerous audits of manual inputs of pre-Perpetua Resources drillhole information from original paper log copies. In house audits completed by Perpetua Resources geologists include a 100% audit of drillhole collar locations (March, 2013), a 5% audit of pre-Perpetua Resources assay records (January, 2013), a 100% audit of gold assays and lithology records for the West End Deposit (April, 2013) and a 100% audit of USBM assay records for the Yellow Pine Deposit (May, 2013). In addition, Perpetua Resources routinely electronically verifies assay records in the drillhole database against original electronic laboratory certificates for Perpetua Resources drilling. Independent contractors completed a 1% audit of prePerpetua Resources assay records against the original paper log copies and a 5% audit of Perpetua Resources assay records against PDF lab certificates

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
(February, 2014) and a 100% electronic audit of Perpetua Resources Yellow Pine assay records against original electronic lab certificates as well as a 100% audit of post-PFS drillhole data in 2018.
| 9.3 | Historical Drillhole Data | |
Perpetua Resources and its contractors have completed numerous validations to assess the accuracy of the historical drillhole data and evaluate what data sets are appropriate for the estimation of mineral resources. The QP has directed and reviewed these validations throughout his involvement with the Project, allowing for confidence in the quality of legacy data. Perpetua Resources and previous operators on the property have conducted extensive confirmation drilling programs that provide the basis for statistical and graphical inter-campaign drillhole data validations. Statistical validations completed in 2014 included paired sample analysis, comparison of de-clustered population statistics, panel comparisons and block kriging using different data sets. Prior to statistical validation, data from some drillhole campaigns were deemed unreliable and were removed from the database used for mineral resource estimation in Section 11 of this Report.
The review indicates that post-1973 drilling in the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats and West End deposits generally show overall good agreement with Perpetua Resources drilling and between pre-Perpetua Resources campaigns, with certain exceptions. Pre-1953 USBM drilling and Bradley Mining Company surface drilling also compare well to Perpetua Resources and other post-1973 drilling campaigns for gold. Underground drilling generally shows a moderate high bias as compared to Perpetua Resources drilling, as do antimony assays in the Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine deposits. Observed bias in legacy underground drilling campaigns was attributed to orientation bias and structural controls on mineralization rather than analytical or sampling bias.
Perpetua Resources completed mineral resource sensitivity studies to further quantify the potential impact of use or exclusion of various drillhole information. Sensitivities for Yellow Pine in 2014, as previously discussed in the PFS, found only a 4% increase in contained gold using all drillhole data when compared to using only post 1973 data. Similar magnitude changes were observed when excluding Hecla drillhole data for the estimation of mineral resources in the Homestake area of the Yellow Pine deposit. Mineral resource sensitivities in 2018, using updated geological models, indicated <4% change for Yellow Pine and <3% change for Hangar Flats by excluding pre-Perpetua Resources data. These sensitivity results are well within acceptable limits for validation of legacy drillhole information and the use of legacy drillhole information in the estimation of mineral resources.
| 9.4 | Database Verification | |
Perpetua Resources employs multiple electronic verification measures to regularly validate the database for accuracy in addition to the periodic manual verifications. Interval verification tools are run to check for intervals that are overlapping or out of sequence. Digital assay data received from the primary assay laboratory are imported directly into the database and then manually verified against lab certificates. Assay data in the database are periodically verified against a master assay spreadsheet and original laboratory analytical reports to prevent assay value errors. Furthermore, sample number ranges are examined for unreasonable differences that may indicate sample switches or typing errors.

| 9.5 | Conclusions | |
The datasets employed for use in the mineral resource estimates are a mix of historical data and current, modern data. There is always a concern with respect to validity of the historical data. Extensive validation and verification must be performed in order to ensure that the historical data may be relied upon. The QP has directed and reviewed extensive validation and verification studies along with procedures performed by external consultants and by Perpetua Resources in order to ensure the validity of the mineral resource estimates. The methods and procedures entailed detailed analysis and resulted in subsets of data being excluded.
In the opinion of the QP, the data and results are valid based on the site visits and inspection of all aspects of the Project, including methods and procedures used. It is the opinion of the QP that all work, procedures, and results have adhered to best practices and industry standards. Perpetua Resources employs competent professionals that adhere to industry best practices and standards. The QP notes that Perpetua has numerous third parties conducting due diligence and the authors of prior technical reports (SRK, 2011; SRK, 2012; M3, 2021; M3, 2022) collected duplicate samples and did not identify any material concerns with Perpetuas sample procedures, logging, QA and QC protocols, and data management.
It is the opinion of the QP that the data used for estimating the current mineral resources for the Yellow Pine, Hanger Flats, West End and Historical Tailings deposits is adequate for this stage of development and may be relied upon to report the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves contained in this Report.

| 10 | Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing | |
Previous phases of mineral process and metallurgical testing were conducted and reported in conjunction with the NI 43-101 PEA (SRK, 2012) and NI 43-101 PFS (M3, 2014) studies. Additional testing included development of composites for variability testing, grinding characterization (Sun, 2017), mineralogical characterization (Palko, 2011a; 2012a; and 2012b), flotation variability testing, grind optimization, production of concentrates for hydrometallurgical testing, cyanide leaching of flotation tailings, and hydrometallurgical testing. The hydrometallurgical testing included batch autoclave pressure oxidation (POX) testing, in situ*acid neutralization, continuous POX pilot testing, neutralization testing, arsenic stability investigation, and detoxification. All these studies are documented in detail in the 2021 TRS, 2022 TRS update and studies referenced therein.
More than 100 technical metallurgical reports and memoranda have been issued from ten years of testing on the Stibnite Gold Project. The key reports supporting the hydrometallurgical component of the study are listed later in this section. Table 10-1 is a listing of the more important reports that provided background data to the sections on mineral processing and alternative treatment of process products. Additional reports are referenced within these as well as in the 2021 TRS and 2022 TRS update.

| 10.1 | Process Flowsheet Development | |
Process mineralogical studies supporting the 2012 PEA and 2014 PFS indicate that gold in all three deposits is hosted in pyrite/arsenian pyrite and arsenopyrite and is predominantly refractory to direct cyanidation. However, discrete free gold is present in oxidized portions of the West End Deposit, which is amenable to cyanide recovery. Antimony in the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats deposits occurs predominantly as stibnite and is typically coarse-grained when occurring at head grades greater than 0.1% antimony. Selective antimony flotation can be used to produce a saleable antimony concentrate prior to flotation of the sulfide concentrate for POX.
Considerable testing during the 2012 PEA and 2014 PFS studies was conducted on samples from the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats and West End deposits that supported a process flowsheet entailing bulk sulfide flotation to maximize recovery of gold to a sulfide concentrate amenable to treatment by POX for materials assaying less than 0.1% antimony. For materials with antimony above this level, a selective antimony flotation process would be used to first produce a shippable antimony concentrate leaving a second, gold-bearing bulk sulfide rougher concentrate to be floated from the antimony flotation tailings. Some of the oxidized West End ores are free milling, and an ore leaching process was developed to treat these materials. Other West End materials are transitional (mixed oxide and sulfide), and a combination flotation and tailings leach process was developed to treat this material. Testing was also conducted on samples of the Historical (Bradley) tailings. This work showed the Historical Tailings could be processed using the same flowsheet most likely as a blend with fresh sulfide ores.

| 10.2 | Comminution and Flotation Studies | |
Comminution testing, including 31 JK Drop Weight and SMC tests, 35 Bond Ball Mill Work Indices, 21 Bond Rod Mill Work Indices, 19 Crusher Work Indices and 16 Abrasion Indices have been conducted on samples from the Project. In addition, comparative work index tests were completed on 12 (10 lithological rock type samples and 2 Yellow Pine composites) samples. Another fifty of the lithological rock type samples had estimated work index values calculated using a combination of discharge p80 and a regression formula based on the 12 comparative and 4 other, known BWi, samples. These data show the ores to be amenable to SAG milling and the Bond Ball Mill work index to a closing size of 150 microns, averages 13.5 kilowatt-hours per metric tonne (kWh/t), as shown in Table 10-2.

The flotation testwork conducted following the NI 43-101 2014 PFS focused on optimizing the flotation reagents and primary grind to produce bulk sulfide flotation concentrates suitable for pressure oxidation and a saleable antimony concentrate. Six master composites were subjected to different treatment schemes varying the dosage of activators, depressants and collectors to economically optimize the dosage of each of the key flotation reagents (Table 10-3).

Concentrate upgrading was deemed necessary in West End to reduce the carbonate to sulfur ratio to near 1.0 in order to ensure autothermic conditions in the autoclave. Cleaner flotation testing of the West End rougher concentrate successfully upgraded the sulfur concentration from 3-4% to >7% with gold losses of 3-7% while maintaining a carbonate to sulfur ratio <=1.0. An extensive trade-off testing program identified the optimal residence times and optimal grind size 80% passing 85 microns was based on replicate batch testing, with confirmation batch and locked cycle tests at optimal reagent and grind conditions then conducted on the master composites (Table 10-4).

Two flotation pilot plant runs on 4,157kg and 2,415 kg of available low Sb sulfide material from 85% Yellow Pine and 15% Hangar Flats were conducted to generate material for autoclave testwork at AuTec and CESL in Vancouver, BC Canada. The first pilot included rougher flotation and targeted a 5.0% sulfur grade in concentrate, while the second pilot targeted cleaner concentrate achieving a target 7.5% sulfur grade. A high antimony pilot plant on 1,066kg of high Sb feed was also undertaken to produce a bulk stibnite concentrate for SLS and downstream processing testwork. Remaining bulk sulfide concentrates (Conc 1-2, 10) after these programs were forwarded to SGS Malaga, Australia for POX and neutralization batch and pilot plant programs (POX with kinetic sampling capabilities) and follow-on geochemical testing.
A bulk flotation program was executed at SGS in Burnaby, BC Canada to produce concentrates for hydrometallurgical POX and downstream processing (neutralization, cyanide leaching, and arsenic stabilization) variability testing at SGS in Malaga, Australia (Gajo, 2018). In this program, rougher flotation was first used to make concentrates targeting the 5.0% sulfur content from five Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats feed composites. Preliminary POX testing indicated that a higher sulfur content would be required, so these rougher concentrates were taken from freezer storage and upgraded through cleaner flotation to the ~7.5% sulfur target. Three West End and one West End-Hangar Flats blend composites were subject to cleaner flotation with products kept as separate kinetic cleaner concentrates in order to allow blending to varying carbonate to sulfur ratios in POX testing. Estimated recoveries are included but should be used with caution as cleaner flotation was conducted several months after rougher flotation and some cleaner recoveries were poor on the likely tarnished rougher concentrates. Subsamples of rougher and cleaner tailings were also sent for ultimate geochemical analyses on simulated plant tailings.

Additional test work focused on cyanide leaching of flotation concentrates and flotation tailings and whole ore leaching of West End oxides (SGS, 2014 part 3; SGS, 2018 parts 2 & 3; BCR, 2018). The cyanide leaching conclusions were that cyanide leaching of rougher tailings from West End transition (mixed sulfide and oxide) material was economically beneficial. Leach testing of rougher tailings from Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats did not produce an economic benefit. Similarly, flotation of West End oxide material with minor gold-bearing sulfide contents did not produce an economic benefit over whole-ore leaching.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
During studies to support preparation of the 2022 TRS, one variability study was conducted to assess whether there are geologically identifiable rock types that systematically yield different metallurgy when standardized flotation and leaching protocols were applied in order to yield comparative results. Sixty-two variability composites were developed to represent the major lithological and alteration material blends to be processed from the three deposits during different project periods. Lithological controls were not found to impart significant variability on gold recoveries with the exception of clay-rich fault gouge and transitional materials. A second variability program applied standardized flotation tests with cyanidation of rougher and cleaner flotation tails to fifty-four sulfide and transition composites from the three deposits, and assessed fifty-seven additional West End sub-composites for amenability to recovery of gold by cyanidation. Test work confirmed that lowest recoveries in Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats were found in the fault materials, for the West End and West End-Hangar Flats blends, lower sulfur content and fault material also had adverse effects on flotation. For the West End transitional materials, flotation and POX treatment has a greater economic benefit up to approximately 75% AuCN/AuFAratios higher than that would be processed by whole-ore leaching. Studies between 2011-2013 evaluation of methods to reprocess historical tailings by combining them with early production Yellow Pine material showed that historical tailings can be blended with Yellow Pine feed at a rate up 15% of total feed, resulting in reduction of the grinding work index by 10-14% (Gajo, 2014b).
West End sulfide material is refractory while transition material has a significant cyanide-leachable gold content. Sulfide material will be processed by flotation, concentrate POX and cyanide leaching of the concentrate. Transition material will be treated similarly except that the flotation tailings will also be leached. Oxide material will be whole ore leached with cyanide after crushing and grinding and will bypass flotation. Metallurgical predictions for West End are based on cyanide leachability and on a target concentrate carbonate to sulfur ratio of 1.3:1, as the presence of excessive carbonate in the concentrate inhibits autothermic oxidation and associated gold recovery in the autoclave.
| 10.3 | Hydrometallurgical Studies | |
Batch and pilot plant testwork for the POX and neutralization processes were completed at AuTec (Vancouver, Canada), CESL (Vancouver, Canada) and SGS (Malaga, Australia). These tests were performed on various concentrates derived from ore samples that represent parts of the deposits and mill feed over the life of mine.

The objective of this 2020 testwork program was to (a) identify under what conditions the arsenic was destabilized in the downstream processing of the pressure oxidation residues, and, (b) establish the impact on the downstream processes after pressure oxidation leach on the solute values especially mercury, arsenic and antimony.
The following process steps were examined during the hydrometallurgical testing programs:
| | Rheology testing of concentrate, POX discharge and hot acid cure discharge | |
| | Pressure oxidative leach (POX); | |
| | Corrosion coupon analyses | |
| | Thickening and filtration testing of the POX discharge slurry; | |
| | Partial and full In-situ acid neutralization (ISAN); | |
| | Atmospheric Arsenic Precipitation (AAP); | |
| | Slurry neutralization; | |
| | Thickening and filtration testing of the neutralized slurry; | |
| | Cyanide leach / Carbon-in-Leach (CIL); | |
| | Continuous cyanide detox; | |
| | Blending of cyanide detox residue and flotation tailings; and | |
| | Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP) testing of combined tailing slurries. | |
The early batch tests were undertaken at AuTec on a blended concentrate (20% flotation mass pull to yield a sulfide concentrate assaying 5.6% S and blended down to 5.0% with tailings) in March 2017 (Le, 2017a) with the following outcomes:
| | The Stibnite Gold concentrate was amenable to acid pressure oxidation at 220C and a retention time of approximately 60 minutes. After a hot acid cure and CIL, the gold recoveries were 95 to 98%. The recovery of silver was between 1 and 12%. | |
| | Optimized leach feed densities appeared to be in the range of 30-35% for all concentrates. | |
| | The concentrate P80 was 46 m and 50% of the gold was present in the fractions finer than 25 m. | |
| | Arsenic in the pressure leach residues was not stable and leached in the hot acid cure step. | |

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| | In CIL, the average cyanide consumption was 1.14 kg/t, and lime addition was 7.2 kg/t. | |
Pressure oxidation tests were also undertaken at CESL and at SGS to investigate neutralization of acid inside the autoclave, or *in-situ*acid neutralization (ISAN) to reduce the formation of jarosite and basic iron sulfate thereby increasing the liberation of leachable gold. Neutralization of acid inside the autoclave was accomplished by adding ground limestone in the POX feed to control free acid and sulfate concentrations and limit the formation of jarosite and basic iron sulfate. The objective was to increase ferric concentrations to enhance the formation of scorodite and lower sulfate concentrations to inhibit the formation of pitticite (an unstable arsenic compound). The SGS tests confirmed consistent gold recoveries in the range of 96.5-99.0%.
Standard environmental stability tests were conducted to address the concern associated with pressure oxidation of arsenic-bearing sulfide materials, which is a measure of the composition and stability of arsenic species in the discharge. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP) is the accepted method for estimating the adsorption-desorption potential of metals in non-landfill waste solids or soils. SPLP testing of POX residues confirmed additional benefits from ISAN, with SPLP arsenic concentrations decreasing with increasing CO3/S mass ratios to about 1.25 or higher. The CO3/S ratio, which reflects the magnitude of limestone added, did not appear to affect the silver CIL recovery.
The continuous POX pilot plant was undertaken at SGS Malaga during the period of November 20-26, 2017. The test feed concentrate was generated from low-antimony samples from the Yellow Pine and Hangar flat deposits. The testing was conducted in a 22-liter autoclave with four compartments at a feed rate of 4-6 kg/h and a nominal residence time of 75 minutes. The operating parameters were the same as those established in previous batch tests, but with varying levels of limestone additions to the feed to achieve a range of gross CO3/S ratios. The autoclave residue was treated by hot acid cure (HAC) and neutralized prior to cyanide leaching. HAC was bypassed at higher CO3/S ratios because the acid content in the slurry was too low to warrant this step.
Figure 10-1 shows the effect of varying gross CO3/S ratio (in situ + applied) on CIL gold extraction. The results show increasing gold extraction at higher CO3/S ratios up to a value of 1.2; further increases in CO3/S ratio appeared to have minimal effect. Increasing the CO3/S ratio also appears to favor lower arsenic SPLP values and hence improved arsenic stability in the leach residues. Quantitative mineralogy on the pilot autoclave solids suggested that iron was precipitated as iron (III) hydroxide (or ferrihydrite), and arsenic was precipitated predominantly as scorodite, a stable arsenic product.

| 10.4 | Arsenic Stability Studies | |
In the initial metallurgical pilot test work conducted at AuTec, the arsenic in the pressure leach residues was unstable, possibly because of the preferential formation of pitticite over scorodite. In subsequent metallurgical testing at SGS, the stability of arsenic improved with increases in the CO3/S ratio to as high as 1.6. The alkalinity in the limestone was postulated to have reduced the propensity for the formation of hydroxy-sulfate compounds, such as basic ferric sulfate and jarosite, and released iron to form ferrihydrite that was able to sequester arsenic as a more stable mineral, such as scorodite. However, subsequent environmental geochemical testing completed on commingled flotation and detoxified cyanide leach tailings from confirmation bulk/batch POX testing at SGS indicated that arsenic was destabilized at some point downstream of the POX process.
A testing program was conducted at SGS in April 2020 to establish how and where the destabilization of arsenic occurred. This program included both partial and total ISAN POX tests with a terminal free acid of 8 to 13 mg/L of H2SO4, atmospheric arsenic precipitation (AAP), and a two-step neutralization procedure. The AAP process precipitates iron and arsenic slowly at an elevated temperature (92C) by progressively adding limestone to achieve a pH of approximately 2 with a retention time of 4 to 5 hours. Test results suggested that under these conditions, a stable scorodite precipitate (FeAsO42H2O) formed.
Arsenic removal to levels of approximately 5 mg/L from the partial ISAN autoclave discharge slurries were achieved with the atmospheric arsenic precipitation and required the following conditions:
| | Temperatures above 90 C; | |
| | Aqueous iron-to-arsenic ratios in excess of 2:1; | |
| | Graded pH profile of between 1.2 and 2 over approximately four agitated tanks; | |
| | Retention time of approximately 4-5 hours; and | |

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| | The stability of the atmospheric arsenic precipitation residue from the SPLP arsenic result was very acceptable at 0.28 mg/L. | |
Batch neutralization tests were conducted on the AAP discharge at two discrete pH regions: neutralization to pH 5 with limestone followed by neutralization to pH 10 with lime. The results show that the slurry temperature during the pH 5 neutralization step has no impact on arsenic stability; however, during the pH 10 neutralization step for slurry temperatures greater than 45C arsenic destabilization was likely to occur. The destabilization was postulated to be related to the increasing free hydroxyl activity with increasing temperature, causing a reaction between the free hydroxyl ions and the remaining pitticite. SPLP testing confirmed that reducing the neutralization temperature of the pH 5 slurry to 45C prior to raising the pH to 10 minimized this reaction.
Consequently, the flowsheet includes a two-step neutralization circuit, with a cooling circuit between the neutralization steps. Slurry Cooling Towers are included in the design for cooling the slurry prior to the pH 10 neutralization step. No slurry cooling testwork has been done; however, testwork for this circuit should be considered prior to project implementation. The process conditions for neutralization are provided in Table 10-7.

Note 1: Controlled Adjustment required.
Activated carbon (CIL) was employed in the batch cyanide leach tests where the gold recovery was required. Arsenic values from SPLP of washed CIL residue generally exceed the cut off value of 2.0 mg/L thus confirming that the destabilization of arsenic that commenced in the pH 10 neutralization is persistent in CIL. Table 10-8 summarizes the CIL testwork data and results.

The cyanide detox slurry was blended with concentrator tailings thickener underflow and the blend was examined for arsenic stability. The cyanide detox residue from a single pressure oxidation test (POX 5 CIL Detox residue) was submitted to a kinetic SPLP program to identify whether time had any impact on the stability of the residue. The residue was stored below its supernatant at 20C. The results of these tests are provided in Table 10-10 and Table 10-11.

| 10.5 | Hydrometallurgical Recovery | |
Test data using the FS flowsheet has been generated on gold (pyrite/arsenopyrite) concentrates from composite samples of the following ore types and blends:
| | Yellow Pine High Antimony (Con 4); | |
| | Yellow Pine Low Antimony (Con 3, Con 5); | |
| | Hangar Flats Low and High Antimony (Con 6, Con 7); | |
| | West End Sulfide/Transition (Con 8, Con 9, Con 11, Con 13, Con 14) sent as individual kinetic concentrates in order to investigate carbonate to sulfur ratio effects on the POX process; | |
| | Blended Composite consisting of 85% Yellow Pine and 15% Hangar Flats (Con 1 (advance 7%S), Con 2 (advance 7.5%S), Con 10); and | |
| | Blended composite representing periods of blended Hangar Flats/West End production (Con 12). | |
A series of options for the prediction of hydrometallurgical recoveries have been considered:
| | Option 1: Average all the data, weighted evenly. | |
| | Option 2: Average of all data, weighted evenly, excluding Con 8. All subsequent options excluded Con 8. | |
| | Option 3: Projected recoveries for each ore type/source reflected average result from the relevant tests. | |
| | Option 4: Projected recoveries for each ore type/source reflected average result from the relevant tests except Yellow Pine Low Sb (blend of Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats), where the pilot plant result alone was used. | |
| | Option 5: Only the pilot plant result was used. | |
Option 4 was adopted for forecasting the extraction of gold to solution for the project metallurgical forecast. The pertinent input data and chosen recoveries are shown in Table 10-12.
Downstream processing steps (carbon absorption, desorption and refining) all incur small gold losses. Using the previously assumed parameter, these have been assumed to add up to 0.8% for both gold and silver. Accordingly, recovery to dor from leach solution has been assumed to be 99.2%.
No testing was done on concentrate from re-flotation of Bradley Tailings material, so it is assumed that the POX recovery will be the same as for Yellow Pine low Sb material.

**11****Mineral Resource Estimates**
| 11.1 | Introduction | |
The Mineral Resource Statement presented herein represents a mineral resource evaluation prepared in accordance with the mining property disclosure rules specified in Regulation S-K subpart 1300 (S-K 1300) promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This evaluation includes Mineral Resource estimates for the Projects three lode gold deposits: Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats and West End, and reports the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Historical Tailings deposit.
This section describes the mineral resource estimation methodology and summarizes the key assumptions. In the opinion of Christopher Dail, C.P.G., Qualified Person, the mineral resource estimates reported herein are a reasonable representation of the mineral resources found within the Project at the current level of sampling. The mineral resources were estimated in accordance with 229.1300 through 229.1305 (subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K). The Mineral Resources reported herein supersede and replace the Mineral Resources disclosed publicly (Perpetua, 2018; M3, 2020; M3, 2022), which should no longer be relied upon. It is important to note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mine-ability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates include Inferred mineral resources (as defined in S-K 1300) that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to Indicated mineral resources (as defined in S-K 1300).
The mineral resource evaluation reported herein for Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, West End and the Historical Tailings deposit is current as of the date of this Report. The Mineral Resource Statements supersede prior statements but were developed based on the same underlying geological and geostatistical analyses as that in the 2020 Feasibility Study Technical Report (M3, 2020). The mineral resource evaluation herein supersedes earlier mineral resource estimates completed for Perpetua Resources including:
| | Technical Report on Mineral Resources for the Golden Meadows Project (SRK, 2011). | |

Christopher Dail, C.P.G., Richard Moses, C.P.G., Austin Zinsser, SME-Registered Member, and Kent Turner who were Perpetuas staff or consultants and responsible for certain aspects of the programs during the periods they were employed by Perpetua Resources.
The general mineral resource estimation methodology for all deposits involved the following procedures:
| | generation of geological models and review of structural controls on mineralization; | |
| | database verification and validation; | |
| | data exploration, compositing and evaluation of outliers; | |
| | construction of estimation domains for gold, antimony and silver; | |
| | spatial statistics; | |
| | block modeling and grade interpolation; | |
| | mineral resource classification and validation; | |
| | assessment of reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction; and | |
| | preparation of the mineral resource statement. | |
The drillhole database and data utilized in the Mineral Resource Estimate is discussed in Section 7 of this Report. Detailed mineral resource evaluation methodologies are presented in Sections 11.2 (Yellow Pine), 11.3 (Hangar Flats), 11.4 (West End), and 11.5 (Historical Tailings) of this Report. An assessment of reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction and mineral resource statements, including that for the Historical Tailings, are presented in Sections 11.7 and 11.9 of this Report. Figure 11-1 shows a plan view of the Stibnite Gold Project area along with drillhole locations and deposits that are the subject of the resource estimation reported herein.

| 11.2 | Yellow Pine | |
| 11.2.1 | Mineral Resource Estimation Procedures | |
The Yellow Pine Mineral Resource estimate is based on the validated drillhole database, interpreted digital geologic model, digitized as-built data of historical workings, and LiDAR topographic data. The geologic modeling and estimation of mineral resources was completed primarily using commercial three-dimensional block modelling and mine planning software Hexagon MinesightTM MS3D Version 15.10.
| 11.2.2 | Geologic Modeling | |
The Yellow Pine Mineral Resource estimate is based on a generalized geologic model consisting of major rock types, major structures, surfaces, and historical underground workings and pit bottom surfaces as depicted in Section 6 of this Report. In addition, oriented core drilling completed in 2016-2017, re-logging of key fault zones from core photos and integration of structural data, legacy data sets and drillhole geochemistry have allowed for a detailed 3D structural interpretation of the Yellow Pine deposit. These data sets were integrated into the detailed geological model first using GIS software to capture and geo-reference historical spatial data and then using Hexagon MineSightTM MS3D to construct geological boundaries through sectional and implicit modeling methods to incorporate logging information, geochemistry and oriented core data. Geological surface TINs were generated from digitized polylines using MineSights surface interpolation tools and subsequently trimmed manually against fault surfaces based on the deformation sequence for the deposit.
| 11.2.3 | Controls on Mineralization | |
As discussed in Section 6 of this Report, mineralization in the Yellow Pine deposit is structurally controlled and localized by the northerly striking MCFZ and by north striking gently west dipping conjugate splay or cross structures associated with the MCFZ. The majority of mineralization in the deposit occurs west of the MCFZ and east of the Hidden Fault Zone (HFZ), a wide, moderately northwest dipping fault and fracture zone. To the south, gold mineralization occurs within a breccia zone of the MCFZ bounded to the east by post-mineralization gouge of the MCFZ and bounded to the west by the pre-gold mineralization ductile breccia zone. In the central region of the deposit, between 1188200N and 1189600N, mineralization is primarily disseminated and occurs east of the Hanging Wall Fault (HWF) and west of the post-mineralization Hennessey Fault, except where Hennessey Fault has offset the western part of the orebody to the north. Gold and antimony mineralization in the central region of the deposit are bounded to the south against the C-structure/granite fault, a normal fault which is locally offset by the northwesterly striking Midnight Fault. In the northern Homestake area of the deposit, mineralization occurs in the hanging wall of the Hidden Fault/Clark tunnel structure and is truncated against the East Boundary Fault, a historically mapped gouge zone within the MCFZ occurring directly east of a silicified fault corridor which is moderately mineralized in the Homestake area. Gold mineralization also occurs within the metasediments at Homestake, where both disseminated and vein hosted gold occurs within the upper-calc silicate and Middle Marble formations. These complex relationships between faults and mineralization were applied towards construction of estimation domains in the Yellow Pine Mineral Resource Estimate.
The geologic model also includes solids representing minor late-stage dikes; numerous adits, drifts and underground development workings; and surfaces representing current and pre-mining topography; and the current top-of bedrock

surface. The surface representing the top of bedrock was digitized from drillhole data and from 1950s and 1990s engineering drawings depicting the historical Bradley pit and Homestake pit bottoms prior to backfilling. Perpetua Resources drilling has confirmed the pit-bottom in the Homestake area and the location of legacy underground workings. Drillholes drilled from barges through the pit lake by the Ranchers Exploration Company (Ranchers) have confirmed the Yellow Pine pit-bottom as captured from engineering drawings and the adjacent pit benches confirmed by comparison of legacy engineering drawings to modern topographic survey data.
| 11.2.4 | Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Preparation | |
Exploratory data analysis and graphical data review was performed on raw assays within 39 geological solids to aid in construction of appropriate geostatistical estimation domains. Quantitative data analysis included generation of descriptive statistics, box plots, histograms, log-probability plots, and analysis of multivariate relations. The data was also reviewed relative to surfaces representing historical underground and surface mining. Data preparation included assignment of numeric values to samples assaying below detection limits (generally 1/2 detection limit or lower for legacy data) and to intervals which were selectively un-assayed. In addition, samples sourced from non-bedrock materials, including those from backfilled pits and waste rock dumps, were removed from the dataset.
| 11.2.5 | Estimation Domain Modeling | |
The current Yellow Pine Mineral Resource estimate is based on the definition of geostatistical estimation domains within the current geological model. The gold estimate utilized sixteen estimation domains; six primary mineralized domains and ten secondary domains. Gold mineralization occurs in all domains, but 77% of assays greater 0.3 g/t Au occur within the primary domains. The estimation domains consist of 3D geological solids representing discrete fault zones, fault blocks, and lithologic units including metasedimentary formations and intrusive dikes (Table 11-1). The large number of domains was deemed appropriate due to the structural complexity of the deposit and distribution of gold within the geological model, especially in order to represent the truncation of mineralization across post-mineralization fault boundaries. The principal gold domains include the mineralized silicified breccia corridor of the southern MCFZ (D3), the Hennessey Shear/Hidden Fault Zone (D5) consisting of silicified breccia and post mineralization gouge, broadly disseminated mineralization occurring in fault bounded blocks of the Central Yellow Pine (D6) and Hennessey fault block (D7), the Homestake deposit area including the hanging wall of the Clark Tunnel structure/northern extension of the Hidden Fault west of the East Boundary Fault (D11), and the silicified breccia zone of the northern MCFZ (D12) at the contact with the metasediments. The secondary domains generally have lower gold grades and include the post-mineralization gouge zones of the MCFZ, rhyolite and latite dike solids, three groups of contiguous metasedimentary formations, strongly altered but lower-gold-grade fault blocks occurring below primary gold domains and hanging wall zones occurring west of the ore-body (as shown in Table 11-1 and Figure 11-2).

Antimony mineralization is controlled by many of the same structures as gold mineralization but is more spatially restricted, occurring primarily south of 1,189,100N with some additional mineralization associated with the Clark Tunnel fault. The northern boundary of the antimony domain was defined using indicator kriging and the southern boundaries are defined by the same structures that control gold mineralization. Bradley Mining Company data was excluded from the 0.01% indicator kriging shell definition due to low precision of antimony assays in this data set.
Silver estimation domains were based on a combination of the antimony domains and gold domains discussed above as high-grade silver occurs preferentially in regions of stibnite mineralization. The deposit was divided into four silver

domains: silver domains 2 and 3 correspond to the Southern- and Clark Tunnel antimony domains respectively, silver domain 1 comprises other regions of the primary gold ore domains, and silver domain 4 makes up the rest of the deposit. Use of a similar estimation plan for both antimony and silver was selected to help maintain the multivariate relationship between the primary economic metals in the deposit.
An oxide shell was constructed to encompass the oxidized region of the deposit and contains the majority of samples with cyanide recoverable gold, primarily located in the Homestake area.
**Figure 11-2:****Yellow Pine Estimation Domains**
| 11.2.6 | Compositing | |
Gold, antimony and silver were composited downhole on 10 ft intervals with composite lengths adjusted to break at gold estimation domain boundaries and to eliminate residual short composites. The 10 ft composite length is an even

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
multiple of the 5 ft average sample length and is also appropriate for estimation into 20 ft bench height blocks. The majority of samples in the deposit average 5 ft but some campaigns used longer samples outside of mineralized zones. Composites were assigned to estimation domains by tagging within the 3D domain solids in MS3D.
| 11.2.7 | Composite Statistics and Capping | |
Descriptive statistics, histograms and probability plots were generated for ten-foot composites within each estimation domain for both clustered and declustered composites. Outliers were identified using log probability plots and were also reviewed spatially in MS3D. For gold, capping grades of 12 g/t Au within Domains 6,7 and 11; and 7 g/t Au within other domains were selected. Capping grades of 8% antimony and 100 g/t silver were selected within the main antimony shell with 10 g/t silver applied elsewhere. Capped grade statistics are presented for comparative purposes in Table 11-2 through Table 11-5 but outliers in the estimation plan are handled employing a 40 ft range restriction on high-grade composites rather than through explicit capping.

| 11.2.8 | Spatial Statistics | |
Semi-variogram models were generated for gold, antimony, silver and cyanide gold recovery ratio (oxidation) to determine spatial continuity and to guide search ellipse orientations and anisotropies. Experimental variograms were generated in GSLIB software for the primary gold, antimony and silver estimation domains. Variograms were not modeled for secondary domains or for the Clark tunnel antimony shell. Gold mineralization typically displays greatest continuity parallel to northeasterly striking fault zones while antimony and silver show maximum continuity along northwesterly striking antimony vein arrays. Oxidation follows the historical topographic surface. Gold variogram models typically have a nugget of 10-18%, a short-range structure achieving 60% of the sill at a distance of approximately 40 to 50 ft and a maximum range of 130-295 ft.
| 11.2.9 | Block Model Parameters and Grade Estimation | |
The block model mineral resource estimate for Yellow Pine was developed with block dimensions of 40 x 40 x 20 ft with coordinates defined in Table 11-6. Blocks were discretized into a 4 x 4 x 2 array of points during estimation.
**Table 11-6:****Block Model Definition for Yellow Pine**
| Deposit | Dimension (ft) | Origin (ft)1 | Number of Blocks | Rotation | |
| | X | Y | Z | X | Y | Z | X | Y | Z | | |
| Yellow Pine | 40 | 40 | 20 | 2,729,740 | 1,185,700 | 4,500 | 155 | 170 | 152 | 0 | |
Notes: 1. Lower left hand block model corner, NAD83 ID State Plane West feet.
The Yellow Pine drillhole database contains 1,843 core density measurements within an average density of 2.63 g/cc. Average density values were calculated for each gold estimation domain after removal of outliers and assigned to the block model.
A multiple percent model was used for the Yellow Pine deposit to accurately capture discrete regions of mineralization occurring within some narrow geological zones and to also allow for accurate forecasting of mining dilution under different extraction scenarios. The volume of each block occurring within each of the 16 gold domains was calculated and stored in the model as a percentage. For the blocks occurring within multiple domains, blocks were assigned a domain code and percentage for both a primary gold domain and a secondary gold domain based on majority by volume. Gold grade estimates were then stored in two fields, primary and secondary, to allow accurate reporting of partial block in-situ resources as well as full block diluted grades. Blocks were assigned to silver and antimony domains by majority.
Gold, antimony and silver were estimated using ordinary kriging or inverse distance squared interpolation. Generally, blocks were estimated using a two-pass search strategy with approximately 2/3 estimated in the first pass and the remaining estimated in the second pass within the ore domains. The estimates used hard boundary conditions with

only samples in an estimation domain used to inform blocks in that domain. Ordinary kriging was used to estimate grades in the five primary gold domains, the primary antimony shell and the four silver domains. Inverse distance squared was used for the remaining gold domains. The first gold estimation pass range was generally based on the ranges of the variogram model, approximately 100-200 for the primary direction with the second pass expanded to twice the range of the first pass. A minimum of three octants and five composites was required in the first pass with octant requirements relaxed in additional passes. Densely drilled domains had a maximum of three composites per hole with more composites allowed in other domains. The inverse distance searches either increased the search ellipse range or decreased the octant requirements in subsequent passes to control grade extrapolation away from data and estimate an appropriate number of blocks. Capping was applied in the software using a range limiting method with un-capped samples allowed up to a maximum distance of 40 (one block) and capping grades of 8 or 12 g/t Au applied after that. This method was selected to adequately capture local high grade in the deposit, which was often clustered, while limiting the extrapolation of higher grade beyond reasonable distances. Figure 11-3 and Figure 11-4 show a plan view of the Yellow Pine block model for gold and antimony, respectively.

**Figure 11-4:****Yellow Pine Antimony Block Model**
**11.2.10****Block Model Validation**
The block model for Yellow Pine was validated by completing a series of graphical inspections, bias checks, sensitivity studies, comparison to prior estimates and reconciliation against historical production records. Graphically, the model was validated by visually comparing the composites to estimated block grades on plan and section views. Global bias was assessed through comparison of average declustered composite grades and block grades for each estimation domain. Multiple model sensitivities were run to assess the impact of historical data on the estimate, selection of capping grades, kriging search neighborhood and choice of interpolation method. Exclusion of the pre-1953 drillhole data results in a 2.2% reduction in mineralized tonnage with no appreciable reduction in gold grade at a 0.75 g/t Au cutoff grade, reported within a conceptual pit shell. Other sensitivities showed similar magnitude changes to the Yellow Pine Mineral Resource.
**11.2.11****Geochemical Estimates**
In addition to gold, antimony and silver, a suite of estimates of geochemical element concentrations were prepared to support geo-metallurgical and geo-environmental engineering. Additional elements estimated include sulfur, arsenic, mercury, iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium which were all analyzed for Perpetua Resources drillholes. The estimation methodology generally followed that used for the commodities consisting of data exploration, domain definition, block estimation and model validation. Elements were composited into the same 10 intervals as used for gold and were estimated using either ordinary kriging or inverse distance interpolation. Capping was not warranted as geochemical elements are typically more normally distributed than the precious metals and underestimation of deleterious elements poses a risk to the project. A summary of the estimates is provided below:

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| | Arsenic and sulfur were estimated within six estimation domains broadly similar to those used for gold, segregating regions of hydrothermal alteration from less altered rock units. Arsenic and sulfur were estimated using ordinary kriging. The sulfur estimate was limited to pyritic sulfur with stibnite sulfur calculated from the antimony block estimate. Intrusive host rock lithology was also used to correct for variations in sulfur grade observed between granodiorite and more felsic intrusives. | |
| | Mercury was estimated within four domains based on a modified antimony shell, southern MCFZ, Homestake area and elsewhere. Mercury was estimated using inverse distance cubed interpolation to capture observed short range variability of the late stage overprinting mercury mineralization event. | |
| | Calcium, magnesium and iron were estimated within nine estimation domains generally constructed to honor lithologic units including clastic vs carbonate metasediments, fault zones, and intrusive rocks. These elements were estimated using inverse distance cubed interpolation. | |
| | Potassium shows only minor variability throughout the deposit and was estimated using ordinary kriging within a single estimation domain. The resultant model adequately captures the potassic alteration zonation associated with the main stage gold mineralization event as well as variations within the metasediments. | |
| 11.3 | Hangar Flats | |
| 11.3.1 | Mineral Resource Estimation Procedures | |
The Hangar Flats Mineral Resource estimate is based on the validated drillhole database, interpreted three-dimensional geological model, digitized as-built data of historical workings, and LiDAR topographic data. The geologic modeling was completed using the commercially available software Seequent Leapfrog Geo 4.3. The estimation of mineral resources was completed using commercial three-dimensional block modelling and mine planning software Hexagon MinesightTM MS3D Version 15.10.
| 11.3.2 | Geologic Modeling | |
The Hangar Flats Mineral Resource estimate is based on a generalized geologic model consisting of major rock types, pre- and post-mineralization structures and post-mineralization tertiary dikes. Modeling was conducted using both sectional and implicit modeling methods to guide surface construction and incorporate legacy underground mapping information captured in GIS. Tertiary dike rocks; rhyolite and diabase, cut gold mineralization and were modeled as sets of dikes striking north-south oriented sub-vertically to allow for accurate estimates of mining dilution. Unconsolidated overburden consisting of till, alluvium, and backfilled ground, were modeled using data from drilling and field observations.
The most important control on mineralization in the Hangar Flats deposit is the Meadow Creek Fault Zone (MCFZ) which is a wide, northerly striking, right lateral shear zone with zones of clay gouge and silicified breccias which forms the western boundary mineralization within the deposit. Modeling of the shear zone focused on defining discontinuous blocks of highly mineralized breccia and quartz monzonite adjacent to and entrained in the anastomosing clay gouge zones. The gouge itself was subdivided into three units, post-mineralization light colored gouge, foliated cataclasite, and sulfidic dark colored gouge. The plutonic rocks are divided into a felsic alaskite and a slightly more intermediate quartz monzonite. These rocks were distinguished from one another through geologic logging and geochemical

classification and modeled using implicit modeling techniques. Mineralization in the Hangar Flats deposit is controlled primarily by the north-south trending MCFZ which has been mapped in underground mining of the Meadow Creek Mine (MCM) and the DMEA Tunnel. The secondary control of mineralization is a series of northeast trending structures that splay from or cut the MCFZ and dip moderately to the northwest. These structures have provided ground preparation and served as conduits for mineralized fluids. Three series of faults were modeled, north-south faults parallel to the MCFZ, northeast striking shallowly dipping splay structures, and northeast striking post-mineralization faulting.
| 11.3.3 | Controls on Mineralization | |
The MCFZ is the principal structure controlling mineralization. The eastern mineralized corridor of the MCFZ varies in width from about 100 to 250 ft. Gold mineralization and antimony mineralization form elongate ore shoots adjacent to the eastern boundary of the MCFZ at the intersections of the MCFZ and numerous low angle structures.
Mineralization occurs as north-plunging breccias and shoots of massive stibnite antimony mineralization, sulfide biotite replacements, and stockworks of quartz-sulfide veining. Mineralization to the east is in northeast striking, moderately northwest dipping structures that are interpreted as splays of the MCFZ with gold and silver mineralization in quartz-sulfide veins and sulfide biotite replacements. Late-stage faulting locally offsets the MCFZ. The MCFZ changes from dipping nearly vertical in the north to dipping 45 degrees east to the south across the Wonacott fault, a major northeasterly striking structure. The geometry and spatial extents of mineralization on the west side of the MCFZ are uncertain due to low density of drilling.
| 11.3.4 | Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Preparation | |
Exploratory data analysis and graphical data review were performed on raw assays within ten geological solids to aid in construction of appropriate geostatistical estimation domains. Quantitative data analysis included generation of descriptive statistics, box plots, histograms, log-probability plots, and analysis of multivariate relations. The data was also reviewed relative to surfaces representing historical underground and surface mining. Data preparation included assignment of numeric values to samples assaying below detection limits (generally 1/2 detection limit or lower for legacy data) and to intervals which were selectively un-assayed. In addition, samples sourced from non-bedrock materials, including those from backfilled pits and waste rock dumps, were removed from the dataset.
| 11.3.5 | Estimation Domain Modelling | |
The Hangar Flats estimation domains are based on the major fault zones and fault units in the geological model as well as grade shells constructed using indicator kriging methods. Four estimation domains were defined for gold within the 0.1 g/t grade shell; D1 is the MCFZ structural corridor between the north striking Franson Fault a MCFZ gouge in the hanging wall of the Wonacott Fault; D2 is the MCFZ structural corridor in the footwall of the Wonacott Fault; D3 is the footwall of the Wonacott Fault, east of D2 and D4 is the hanging wall of the Wonacott Fault east of D1. The antimony estimation domains use the same structural boundaries as gold but are constrained within a 0.05% antimony grade shell that is less extensive than the gold and silver mineralization. The silver estimation domains are the same as those used for the gold estimate. Oxidation in the deposit is primarily controlled by depth below the ground surface and two domains were constructed by defining two areas with different topographic slopes; northeast versus south. See Table 11-7 and Figure 11-5.

| 11.3.6 | Compositing | |
Gold, antimony and silver were composited downhole on 10 ft intervals with composite lengths adjusted to break at gold estimation domain boundaries and to eliminate residual short composites. The 10 ft composite length is an even multiple of the 5 ft average sample length and is also appropriate for estimation of 20 ft bench height blocks. The majority of samples in the deposit average 5 ft but some campaigns used longer samples outside of mineralized zones. Composites were assigned to estimation domains by tagging within the 3D domain solids in MS3D.
| 11.3.7 | Composite Statistics and Capping | |
To mitigate risk associated with use of high-grade statistical outliers, capping grades were selected for each estimation domain after declustering and weighting raw composite data. Capping grade was evaluated through log probability

Semi-variogram models were generated for gold, antimony, and silver in GSLIB software for the primary gold, antimony and silver estimation domains. Continuity of gold, silver, and antimony mineralization in domains 1 and 2 is typically greatest parallel to the north-south, steeply dipping orientation of the MCFZ. Other domains show greatest continuity along NE to EW striking, shallowly to moderately NW dipping trends, parallel to north-easterly faults. Variogram models typically reach the sill at a range of 140-250 ft and obtain 60% of the sill at distances of approximately 40 ft.
| 11.3.9 | Block Model Parameters and Grade Estimation | |
The Mineral Resource Estimate for Hangar Flats was developed with block dimensions of 40 x 40 x 20 ft with coordinates defined in Table 11-11. The selected block size is approximately 30% of the median spacing of Perpetua Resources drillholes and is consistent with conceptual mining bench heights. Blocks were discretized into a 4 x 4 x 2 array of points during estimation.

The Hangar Flats drillhole database contains 917 bulk density measurements from MGI drill core. Most measurements were made by PRII on core samples using a hydrostatic weighting method with approximately 10% verified by an outside laboratory using a wax coating water immersion method. Density variations were observed within rock types and associated with mineralization. Density was estimated using inverse distance squared interpolation within 500 ft of samples or assigned the mean density for the rock type, found in Table 11-12.

A multiple percent model was used for the Hangar Flats block model to account for percentage of unmineralized materials (dikes & overburden) contained in each block. Blocks were assigned to domains based on majority by volume.
The Hangar Flats Mineral Resource Estimate was completed for gold, antimony and silver using the estimation domains and shells discussed previously. Gold was estimated within the four estimation domains discussed above. Blocks were estimated using a three-pass search strategy to achieve an appropriate degree of smoothing. The gold estimate used a mixture of hard and soft boundaries based upon contact plot analysis to limit grade extrapolation into unmineralized areas. Ordinary kriging was used to estimate gold and required a minimum of five composites in the first pass with a maximum of two composites for each octant. Subsequent passes relaxed the sample requirements and increased the search ranges. The first estimation pass major axis range of 200 ft was based on the variogram range and appropriate for the average drillhole spacing. The second pass used a maximum search range to 350 ft with a final estimation pass range of 500 ft. The orientation and anisotropy of the search ellipses was based on observed continuity of mineralization and variography. The estimation for silver used the same search parameters as those for gold. Antimony was estimated similarly but with reduced search ranges of 100, 200, and 300 ft, consistent with lower continuity of antimony mineralization. The ratio of cyanide recoverable gold to total gold was estimated to model degree of oxidation using a single pass inverse distance interpolation in each of the two domains discussed above. The search ellipses in each domain were aligned parallel to the general topographic surface and had a maximum range of 500 ft. Figure 11-6 and Figure 11-7 show a section and plan view of the Hanger Flats block model for gold and antimony, respectively.

| 11.3.10 | Block Model Validation | |
The block model for Hangar Flats was validated using graphical inspections, statistical comparisons, sensitivity studies, and bias checks. Graphically, the model was compared to sample composites displayed in 3D and in various sectional orientations. Descriptive statistics and plots for gold and antimony were compared with declustered statistics for each domain to assess global bias. Swath Plots were produced and inspected for local bias between composites, kriged blocks and nearest neighbor declustered block grades. Various sensitivities were run to assess the impact of estimation methods, capping grades, and sample requirements. Model sensitivities using un-capped gold composites produced a 0.4% increase in gold ounces and inverse distance cubed interpolation produced a 3.4% increase in gold ounces as reported within a conceptual pit shell.
| 11.3.11 | Geochemical Estimates | |
In addition to gold, antimony and silver, a suite of estimates of geochemical element concentrations were prepared to support geo-metallurgical and geo-environmental engineering. Additional elements estimated include sulfur, arsenic, mercury, iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium which were all analyzed for Perpetua Resources drillholes. The estimation methodology generally followed that used for the commodities consisting of data exploration, domain definition, block estimation and model validation. Elements were composited into the same 10 ft intervals as used for gold and were estimated using either ordinary kriging or inverse distance interpolation. For all estimates, sample selection was restricted to composites occurring within the same geological solid as the block estimated. Capping was not warranted as geochemical elements are typically more normally distributed than the precious metals and underestimation of deleterious elements poses a risk to the project. A summary of the estimates is provided below:
| | Pyritic sulfur grade was estimated into blocks using ordinary kriging within the five gold domains. Pyritic sulfur was calculated for composites by subtracting out sulfur associated with stibnite. Stibnite sulfur was calculated from the estimated antimony block estimate and total sulfur grade was calculated as the sum of pyrite sulfur and stibnite sulfur. This methodology mitigates risk for metallurgical forecasting associated with disparate search strategies for sulfur and antimony. | |
| | The elements arsenic, calcium, mercury, potassium, and sodium were estimate in five gold domains described above using either ordinary kriging or inverse distance squared interpolation using a four-pass strategy. The gold domains appropriately segregate hydrothermally altered rocks from the rest of the country rock which is the primary control on the distribution of mobile cations and deleterious metals in the deposit. Search orientations were derived from the gold estimate to best maintain the multivariate relationships observed in the samples. | |
| | Aluminum, iron, and magnesium grades were estimated using ordinary kriging in a single domain across the deposit in two estimation passes. | |
| | Estimates were constrained to 1,000 ft from their nearest composite. Un-estimated blocks for all elements were assigned a mean average value for the rock for the geologic solid rock type. | |

| 11.4 | West End | |
| 11.4.1 | Mineral Resource Estimation Procedures | |
The West End Mineral Resource estimation is based on the validated and verified drillhole database, interpreted lithologic units, interpreted fault structures, and LiDAR topographic data. The geologic model was constructed using ARANZ Leapfrog Geo software (Leapfrog). The estimation of mineral resources was completed utilizing Vulcan resource modeling software.
| 11.4.2 | Geologic Modeling | |
The West End Mineral Resource Estimate is based on a generalized geologic model consisting of major rock types, major structures, LiDAR topography, historical topography and historical pit bottom surfaces. The deposit occurs in an overturned sequence of steeply dipping Proterozoic to Paleozoic metasediments comprising the Stibnite Roof Pendant. The meta-sedimentary rocks are intruded by quartz-monzonite and granitic stocks. Mineralization occurs within fault zones, principally the southeast dipping WEFZ; as well as disseminated within preferential lithologic hosts. As discussed in Section 7 of this Report, lithologic formations consist of quartzite, quartz-pebble conglomerate, interbedded quartzite and schist, limestones, dolomitic marble, and calc-silicate rocks and range in thickness from 230 590 ft.
The West End Geological Model was generated using compilations of various historical data sets from 1980s and 1990s operators including bench mapping, CAD cross sections, blast hole assays, pit-bottom as-built surfaces, as well as incorporation of additional mapping and sampling completed by Perpetua Resources in 2015-2017, and allowed for construction of a detailed 3D structural interpretation of the West End deposit. These data sets were integrated using Leapfrog software to geo-rectify, code and merge historical maps and sections with exploration drilling to generate the 3D geological model solids. The resulting geological model reasonably captures the geological complexity of the deposit, which has undergone numerous ductile and brittle deformation events. The geological model consists of eight lithologic units and seven fault surfaces, as well as pre- and post-mining topographic and bedrock surfaces. Modeling of the deposits over time has changed as additional geological, alteration and structural data became available. There have been no material changes in the West End geological model since the 2022 TRS.
| 11.4.3 | Controls on Mineralization | |
Gold mineralization in the West End deposit occurs within all lithostratigraphic units with higher-grade mineralization preferentially occurring in the schist and calc-silicate lithologies as well as within silicified fault breccias of the WEFZ. Gold mineralization is associated with both disseminated sulfide replacement mineralization and with silica alteration occurring as quartz-veinlets, stockworks and zones of silica flooding. Gold also occurs along oxidized fractures and broadly disseminated within fracture zones and within intrusive units where gold is associated with sulfide-sericite alteration. Gold is concentrated along and adjacent to the WEFZ and its subsidiary structures; with mineralized drillholes observed crossing the modeled hanging wall and footwall with no apparent disruptions in gold grade. Silver mineralization within the deposit is generally low-grade and erratic. Silver mineralization is locally elevated within the WEFZ. Significant antimony mineralization is not recognized in the West End deposit.

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The oxidation level in the deposit is of moderate and variable depth, with pervasive oxidation occurring at shallow levels, preferentially within certain lithologic units, and locally at deeper elevations between strands of the WEFZ and along splay structures. Significant zones of transition material are not recognized.
| 11.4.4 | Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Preparation | |
Exploration drilling in the West End deposit was conducted by multiple operators using multiple drilling and assaying methods. Detection limits for gold are quite variable, depending on the drilling campaign and assay lab used. Detection limits were adjusted to values equal to half the detection limit; levels well below those of economic interest. Some historical operators selectively used fire assays within the sulfide zones where sulfide mineralization was observed, resulting in an apparent high bias because higher-grade intervals were preferentially assayed. To address this, a new variable was created (Au_Final) combining AuFA if available, and AuCN if not, ensuring that an assay is available for every interval in holes containing partial fire assay data. While this treatment is somewhat conservative, it affects a relatively small subset of drillholes in a restricted area of the deposit and as such will not result in over-estimation of in situ mineral resources based on selective spot assaying of higher-grade intervals. Similar to the treatment of partial gold assays, a new variable Ag_Final was created combining fire assay and cyanide soluble silver assays for use in silver estimation.
Lithology imparts a significant control on the distribution of gold mineralization within the West End deposit. For statistical evaluation and Mineral Resource Estimation, the data was assigned to three lithologic groups with similar grade distributions. The calc-silicates, breccia and schistose lithologies are assigned to lithology group 1; the quartzites, including that of the quartz-pebble conglomerate formation to lithology group 2; and the Fern Dolomite and Granite to lithology group 3. Very little gold and silver mineralization is recognized outside of these lithologies within the Middle Marble and Hermes carbonates.
| 11.4.5 | Estimation Domain Modeling | |
In addition to the lithology groups discussed above, four structural domains were defined based on the preferred orientation of mineralization being either parallel to lithology units or to fault structures. The structural domains are based on the footwall and hanging wall of the WEFZ, as well as the eastern splay fault, which shows up to 200 ft of apparent displacement of stratigraphy. Mineralization in the WEFZ (domain 2) occurs parallel to the main structure. Mineralization within the other structural domains occurs parallel to bedding within favorable lithologic units. The resultant grade estimate was therefore conducted within 12 separate estimation domains based on three lithology groups and four structural domains (see Figure 11-8).

The original drillhole sample assay values were assessed for statistical outliers using log probability plots. Gold capping levels were chosen independently for each of the lithology groups. The silver capping levels did not vary between the lithologic groups. Capping grades for samples within each lithology group are provided in Table 11-13.

Gold, silver, and cyanide soluble gold and silver were composited downhole on 10 ft intervals with no breaks at lithologic contacts. The 10 ft composite length is an even multiple of the average (mode) 5 ft sample length and is also appropriate for estimation of 20 ft bench height blocks. Descriptive statistics for capped composites are provided in Table 11-14 through Table 11-17.

Semi-variogram models were generated for gold and silver for each lithology group to determine spatial continuity of mineralization for use in block estimation. Gold variogram models typically have a nugget of 25-35% and a maximum range of approximately 60 ft, reaching 60% of the sill at a range of 15 to 20 ft. Silver variogram models typically have a nugget of 15-30% and a maximum range of 135-195 ft reaching 60% of the sill at a range of 15-25 ft.
| 11.4.8 | Block Model Parameters and Grade Estimation | |
The West End block model used for mineral resource estimation was developed with 20 x 20 x 20 ft blocks (Table 11-18). This block size is smaller than the 40 x 40 x 20 ft blocks used for the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats deposits and was selected to allow for accurate estimation of mineralized tonnage within narrow geological units. This method was selected in lieu of the multiple percent model approach used for Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats block models.

The drillhole database contains 166 density measurements from the primary lithologic units, the majority of which were determined onsite using the water immersion method, with a number of independent third-party measurements completed offsite using the same methodology. Because of the relatively small number of density measurements, density values were averaged for each lithologic unit and assigned to the geologic model after removal of outliers, as summarized in Table 11-19.

Total gold, cyanide soluble gold and silver were estimated using ordinary kriging with estimation domains based on the lithology groups and structural domains discussed above. Lithology groups served as hard boundaries for sample selection. The grade estimations for all metals in all domains, utilize a three-pass sample search strategy with each pass searching longer distances than the previous. The first estimation pass used an anisotropic search ellipse with a maximum range of 150 ft which was expanded to 250 and 300 ft in subsequent passes. Estimation was limited to those blocks within 225 ft of the closest composite. As discussed previously, the model is subdivided into four search domains. Domains 1, 3 and 4 all use static search orientations which are aligned parallel to the average strike and dip of the lithologic layering. Search domain 2 represents the West End Fault Zone where a dynamic search orientation was used based on the average strike and dip of the overlying, Hanging Wall Fault and the underlying, Foot Wall Fault. All estimations require a Min/Max of 3/16 samples respectively, and utilize a minimum of two drill holes and a maximum of 2 samples per octant. A high-grade composite restriction was also applied in certain parts of the model to prevent excessive grade extrapolation into sparsely drilled areas of the deposit. Figure 11-9 shows plan and section views of the West End block model for gold.

| 11.4.9 | Block Model Validation | |
The block model for West End was validated by completing a series of graphical inspections, bias checks, comparison to prior estimates and reconciliation against historical production records. Graphically, the interpolated block grades were visually checked on sections, plan views and in 3-D for comparison to the composite assay grades. The general model estimation parameters were reviewed to evaluate the performance of the model with respect to supporting data including the number of composites used, number of drillholes used, average distance to samples used, and the number of blocks estimated in each pass. Global and local bias was assessed through comparison of estimated block grades to the composite sample data and by construction of swath plots at 50 m spacing across the deposit. The final validation compared the grade estimate within the material which was historically mined to the accumulated production data from that mining period.
| 11.4.10 | Geochemical Estimates | |
In addition to gold, cyanide gold and silver, a suite of estimates of geochemical element concentrations were prepared to support geo-metallurgical and geo-environmental engineering. Additional elements estimated included sulfur, arsenic, mercury, iron, calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium. These elements were analyzed for Perpetua Resources drillholes but are only rarely analyzed in legacy holes, which comprise the majority of drillholes in the deposit.
| | Sulfur and arsenic, for which data is limited, generally correlate with gold and were estimated within three domains using collocated co-kriging incorporating the gold block model as the secondary variable used to guide the estimate in areas with sparse Perpetua Resources drilling. This method reproduced the multivariate gold-arsenic-sulfur relationships observed in the composite data with total gold and oxide gold respectively. | |
| | The major cations (Fe, Ca, Na, Mg and K) are primarily controlled by metasedimentary lithology and were estimated within domains based on lithology solids using inverse distance squared interpolation. | |
| | Elevated mercury occurs along north-easterly striking splay structures and was estimated using inverse distance cubed interpolation within a single domain. | |
| 11.5 | Historical Tailings | |
| 11.5.1 | Mineral Resource Estimation Procedures | |
The historical tailings mineral resource estimate is based on the drillhole database, geologic model of tailings, and LiDAR topographic data. The geologic modeling and estimation of mineral resources was completed using the commercial three-dimensional block modelling and mine planning software packages Geovia GEMSTM 6.6 and MicromineTM version 14; geostatistical analysis was completed using Isaaks & Co.s SAGE2001TM software package.
| 11.5.2 | Geologic Modelling | |
The Historical Tailings were hydraulically deposited within the Meadow Creek Valley from the 1930s through the 1950s; the tailings were generated from the Bradley Mining Company sulfide flotation milling operations. The tailings were

later overlain by spent heap leach ore from the 1980s through the 1990s heap leach operations. The tailings deposit is up to 18 m thick, with an average thickness of 6 m; the overlying spent ore material is up to 23 m thick, with an average thickness of 11 m. These relationships are depicted graphically in Section 12 of this Report. Tailings material was wire-framed based on drillhole intercepts, modern LiDAR and orthographic photos, and historic engineering drawings and airborne photos. The total volume of the tailings wireframe is 1,925,923 m3.
**11.5.3****Estimation Domain Modelling**
The tailings solid serves as the only estimation domain utilized in the mineral resource estimate. Descriptive statistics for raw assays within the tailings solid are presented in Table 11-20. The drillholes were drilled on a quasi-regular grid and there is no evidence of data clustering in high- or low-grade areas. Higher-grade material shows northwest trends which shift location vertically, consistent with presumed deposition in tailings beaches during historical operations.

Samples were composited on intervals of 0.61 m and 1.52 m, of which the 0.61 m composites were determined to exhibit a more regular distribution of composite lengths and were selected for estimation. Gold, antimony and silver were composited downhole within the tailings solid. The composited data yields a histogram with a moderately skewed distribution and very few samples with a grade <0.6 g/t Au.
**11.5.5****Evaluation of Outliers**
To evaluate potential risk associated with use of high-grade statistical outliers, potential capping grades were assessed using log-probability plots and by analysis of contained metal in deciles and centiles, following the Parrish Method (Parrish, 1997). These results indicate no cap for gold, a cap of 0.6% for antimony and 10 g/t for silver. Descriptive statistics for capped composites are presented in Table 11-21. Note that compositing of the longer sample intervals to 0.61 m yielded more composites than raw assays.

**11.5.6****Statistical Analysis and Spatial Correlation**
Correlogram models were developed using the SAGE2001TM software package to guide the search ellipse and establish spatial correlation and sample weighting for the estimate. Correlograms demonstrate low nugget effect with effective ranges close to the drillhole spacing and confirm the northwest anisotropy and stratified nature of the deposit. The correlogram is summarized in Table 11-22.

**11.5.7****Block Model Parameters and Grade Estimation**
Due to the unconsolidated and stratiform nature of the tailings material, the block model is defined assuming selective mining methods with excellent grade control. Block dimensions are 15.24 x 15.24 x 1.524 m (50 x 50 x 5 ft) with location summarized in Table 11-23. Blocks located partially within the solid were assigned a percent value for reporting purposes.

drillhole, increasing the influence of samples from neighboring drillholes. Search ellipse and sample selection parameters are summarized in Table 11-24. Density was estimated from 35 Shelby tube samples of the tailings material; the average dry density of the deposit was calculated to be 1.504 g/cm3.

| 11.5.8 | Block Model Validation | |
The block model for the Historical Tailings was validated by completing a series of graphical inspections, bias checks and reconciliation with historic production records. The block estimates and block percentages were reviewed visually relative to the composite grades and the tailings wireframe. Global bias was assessed by comparison of the Kriged estimate to the nearest neighbor estimate and showed a 3.5% variance. Local bias was assessed by way of a swath plot in the Z direction. Relative to the nearest neighbor estimate, the Kriged estimate displays local low bias on upper-level benches, proximal to very high-grade composites in three different drillholes. The results of the Kriged model are generally consistent with estimates of metals reporting to the tailings calculated as the difference between historical mill-feed grade and recovered metal from historical Bradley Mining Company production records.
**11.6****Mineral Resource Classification**
Mineral Resources are classified under the categories of Indicated and Inferred in accordance with 229.1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) (Item 1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) of Regulation S-K). Mineral resource classification for gold was based primarily on drillhole spacing and on continuity of mineralization. Antimony and silver are not classified separately and are reported based on gold classification. Indicated resources were defined as those with an average distance to three drillholes of less than 120 ft at Yellow Pine and 100 ft at Hangar Flats. Indicated resources at the West End were defined as those with an average drillhole spacing of less than 100 ft and meeting additional requirements. Final resource classification shells were manually constructed on sections to smooth the classification categories. The drillhole spacing used to define indicated resources in Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats was independently validated by a drillhole spacing study assessing theoretical grade uncertainty under different drillhole patterns. This study indicates that a drillhole

spacing of 120 ft reduces annual uncertainty to 15-20% and that a drillhole spacing of 50 ft reduces quarterly uncertainty to 15-20% with 90% confidence. See Figure 11-10 through Figure 11-12.

Confidence criteria used to guide the mineral resource classification for the Historical Tailings mineral resource includes kriging variance and anisotropic minimum distance to the nearest composite. Final classification was assigned by digitizing contours around blocks with Kriging variance >0.66 and minimum distance >60 m for the gold estimate, to define areas of inferred classification. The inferred blocks are primarily located on the southern and western margins of the tailings solid where drill data is sparse.
| 11.7 | Discussion Of Cut-Off Grade and Reasonable Prospect of Eventual Economic Extraction | |
S-K 1300 requires that Mineral Resources have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction requiring that mineralization meet certain grade and material volume thresholds under reasonable production and recovery scenarios at reasonable cut-off grades. The potential for eventual economic extraction was assessed using an open-pit optimization Pseudoflow algorithm in MineSight Version 15.10 software. Input parameters were developed on the basis of advanced cost estimates, metallurgical recoveries indicated by bench and pilot scale testwork and from feasibility level design engineering studies, as shown in Table 11-25.
As discussed in Section 12 of this Report, the QP determined that it remained appropriate to continue to use 2021 operating cost estimates and corresponding commodity price assumptions for purposes of mining and pit shell design parameters and continues to provide a reasonable basis for establishing that the Project is economically viable.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Assumptions used to derive the cut-off grades and define the resource-limiting pits were estimated to meet the S-K 1300 requirement for mineral resource estimates to demonstrate reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction and vary from those used to limit the Mineral Reserves reported herein. The $1,500/oz gold selling price was selected based on the three-year trailing average at the time of resource reporting and is below the current spot and trailing average gold prices. Based on these parameters, cut-off grades for Hangar Flats, West End and Yellow Pine were calculated to be approximately 0.40 g/t Au and an open pit oxide cut-off grade of approximately 0.35 g/t Au.
Because of the flat and shallow geometry of the Historical Tailings deposit, and due to potential use of the overlying material in conceptual construction scenarios, economic criteria were not assessed using a pit optimization. Instead, cost estimates for removing the overlying SODA material were compared to potential revenue from processing the tailings material and were shown to be positive.
| 11.8 | Mineral Resource Statements | |
Mineral resources presented herein comply with guidelines of S-K 1300. The mineral resources reported in Table 11-26 to Table 11-32, inclusively, are contained entirely within conceptual pit shells developed from the parameters discussed above. Based on these parameters, cut-off grades for Hangar Flats, West End and Yellow Pine were calculated based on a $1,500/oz gold selling price and a $20/oz silver selling price, which resulted in an open pit sulfide cut-off grade of approximately 0.40 g/t Au and an open pit oxide cut-off grade of approximately 0.35 g/t Au. Only mineral resources above these cut-offs and within the mineral resource-limiting pits are reported and, as such, mineralization falling below this cut-off grade or outside the mineral resource-limiting pit is not reported, irrespective of the grade. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves, except where otherwise stated. Mineral Resources were calculated consistent with internal controls and quality assurances as discussed in Sections 8 and 9.

| 11.9 | Discussion Uncertainty to the Mineral Resource Estimate, Classification, and Reasonable Prospects of Economic Extraction | |
The Qualified Person has placed primary emphasis on the identification and mitigation of risks to reduce uncertainty, acknowledging that such uncertainties are inherent and must be systematically addressed. Areas of potential uncertainty were reviewed such as sampling and drilling methods, data processing, geological interpretation and modeling, estimation methods and criteria, and cut-off grades along with relevant assumptions including metal prices, mining costs and metallurgical recoveries.
Key to this assessment was the support for an extensive program to validate and verify the historic sample data in order to rely upon it for the purpose of the resource estimation but also to eliminate data that posed a potential risk. Due to the strategy described above, the use of the historic data was identified by the Qualified Person and was sufficiently mitigated and reduced to satisfy the Qualified Person of its validity and for use within the resource estimation process.
Interpretation and modelling of geological data are a subjective process. The reliability of a resource estimate is substantially affected by several factors. Firstly, it should be noted that the information that is the source of the resource estimate is imprecise due to the fact that relatively small samples are used to estimate into very large volumes. As a result, there are inherent uncertainties in the accumulation, interpretation and analysis of data for which the estimations are based. Furthermore, the methods and data used for estimating resources are often indirect and analogical rather than direct or deductive. The Qualified Person, tasked with estimating the resources is required to apply industry standard principles, methods and procedures, to make numerous unbiased judgements based on their educational background, professional training, integrity and professional experience. The extent and significance of the judgements that are made are sufficient to render resource information inherently imprecise. However, the methods employed, and models created followed industry accepted practices and were based on the extensive history and knowledge of the property to the extent that the risk from an interpretation and modelling perspective is not considered significant for the use herein.
The Qualified Person does consider data processing and estimation risks within the estimation strategy, and as such risk mitigation techniques are employed as standard practice such as QA/QC of the data and the employment of

multiple estimation techniques as a check and balance toward identifying red-flags and risks. In addition, standard validation and verification techniques are employed on the post-processed models to ensure the reasonableness of the resource estimates.
Mineral resource classification for gold was based primarily on drillhole spacing and on continuity of mineralization. The drillhole spacing used was independently validated by a drillhole spacing study assessing theoretical grade uncertainty under different drillhole patterns. This study indicates that a drillhole spacing of 120 ft reduces annual uncertainty to 15-20% and that a drillhole spacing of 50 ft reduces quarterly uncertainty to 15-20% with 90% confidence. Geological uncertainty was mitigated for in Mineral Resource classification by accounting for geological structures with potential to increase uncertainty.
S-K 1300 requires that Mineral Resources have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction which was assessed using an open-pit optimization as discussed in Section 11.7.
The QP is confident that the issues that were identified in the course of this study, and previous studies, have been adequately addressed and do not pose notable or significant risks. The level of uncertainty is appropriate and commensurate to the classification attributed to them as that of indicated and inferred resources which is a judgment of not only continuity but uncertainty.
Except as discussed in this Report, to the knowledge of the Qualified Person, there are no environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, marketing, political or other factors that would affect the resource estimates specifically.
**11.10****Conclusions**
It is the opinion of the Qualified Person that the Mineral Resource Estimates for the Yellow Pine, Hanger Flats, West End and Historical Tailings deposits reported herein were prepared using industry standards and best practices by qualified professionals and, therefore, such Mineral Resource estimates are reasonable and may be relied upon for public reporting and for estimating Mineral Reserves.

**12****Mineral Reserve Estimates**
**12.1****Introduction**
This section describes the Mineral Reserve estimation methodology, summarizes the key assumptions used, and presents the Mineral Reserve estimates for the Project.
Mineral Reserves are defined in the S-K 1300 Definitions (adopted October 31, 2018) as **an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted.*****S-K 1300 further states that this study must*****include the qualified person****s detailed evaluation of all applicable modifying factors to demonstrate the economic viability of the mining property or project*****and defines Modifying Factors as*****the factors that a qualified person must apply to indicated and measured mineral resources and then evaluate in order to establish the economic viability of mineral reserves. These factors include, but are not restricted to: Mining; processing; metallurgical; infrastructure; economic; marketing; legal; environmental compliance; plans, negotiations, or agreements with local individuals or groups; and governmental factors. The number, type and specific characteristics of the modifying factors applied will necessarily be a function of and depend upon the mineral, mine, property, or project.***
This section focuses on the processes used to ensure that the Mineral Reserve estimate accounts for the primary modifying factors (i.e. technical and financial parameters related to mining and processing; economic value considering reasonable investment and marketing assumptions) while other sections in this Report focus on detailed analyses of the remaining modifying factors (i.e. legal, social, and environmental factors; permitting requirements, etc.). The final Economic Analysis of the Mineral Reserves, presented in Section 19 of this Report, confirms the economic viability of the Reserves presented in this section.
The Project design including mining methods, mine sequencing, processing and recovery, and infrastructure discussed in this Section 12 and following Sections 13 - 15, are consistent with the 2021 modified mine plan (also called ModPRO 2), which is discussed in Section 17 of this Report. The 2021 modified mine plan was approved by USFS in its Final Record Decision issued in January 2025. That plan also forms the basis of Perpetua Resources Plan of Operations approved by USFS in October 2025 and other federal and state permits and approvals for the Project.
The Qualified Person considers the Mineral Reserve estimates reported in this TRS to be a reasonable representation of the Mineral Reserves within the Project at the current level of analysis. The QP has reviewed the risks, opportunities, conclusions, and recommendations summarized in Section 23 of this Report and the analyses of the remaining modifying factors in this Report and he is not aware of any unique conditions that would put the Stibnite Gold Project Mineral Reserve at a higher level of risk than any other North American developing project.

| 12.2 | Ultimate Pit Limit Analysis | |
Ultimate pit limit optimization and phase analysis (UPLA) was performed by a third-party consultant utilizing Geovia Whittle version 4.7 using the Pseudoflow algorithm option. The QP reviewed that optimization and phasing analysis and concurs with the analysis and results. This section describes the optimization inputs. Pit limit optimization analysis results and pit shell selection is presented in Section 12.3 of this Report.
The Pseudoflow algorithm performs the same function as the traditional Lerchs-Grossman (LG), however, by structuring the UPLA as a maximum flow problem, the Pseudoflow algorithm can arrive at exactly the same solution in a fraction of the time. In either approach, Whittle applies approximate costs and recoveries along with approximate open pit slope criteria to establish theoretical economic breakeven pit geometries (pit shells). The resulting pit geometries should be considered as approximate as they do not assure pit bench access or bench working space requirements. The primary result of the incremental pit geometries (nested pit shells) is the relative change in pit size and estimated increase in total pit value. This provides guidance for designing detailed ultimate pit designs and identifying potential mining phases to bring forward value in the mining sequence.
| 12.2.1 | Geologic Resource Block Model | |
The Qualified Person, Christopher Dail, C.P.G., reviewed the mineral resource block models that were prepared by a third-party consultant used in the Mineral Reserve estimate and considers them appropriate for use in calculation of reserves after application of applicable modifying factors described herein. The models comprise parameters that

describe lithology, in-situ density, resource classification, ore and waste percentage, oxidation, and metal grades, as explained in detail in Section 11 of this Report.
For mine planning purposes, the block model dimensions for individual blocks should correspond to an increment of proposed mining bench height. Bench height has a potentially significant impact on project value due to the relationship between bench height, grade dilution, mine operating cost, mine production rates, and processing cost. A bench height trade-off analysis was conducted to evaluate bench heights ranging from 10 to 50 ft in 10-foot increments.
Based on the analysis, 40-foot benches result in a 9% mining cost reduction with a slight increase in ore dilution and processing cost as compared to 20-foot benches. Therefore, a bench height of 20 ft for ore zones and 40 ft for waste zones was selected as the most economical way to mine the deposits. These bench heights will allow optimizing productivity in waste zones while maintaining ore selectivity in ore zones to reduce potential grade dilution.
Based on the bench height trade-off analysis, a block model with uniform block dimensions of 40 x 40 x 20 ft representing the selective mining unit (SMU) was created for each deposit using the resource block model as detailed in Section 11 of this Report. Only blocks classified as indicated were used in the Mineral Reserve estimate. Blocks classified as inferred were reclassified as waste with zero payable metal content. The modified mineral resource block model is hereafter referred to as the reserve block model.
| 12.2.2 | Ore Dilution | |
For this study, dilution has been defined as material that is below the cut-off grade or value but is intentionally or inadvertently mined and must be considered in Mineral Reserve estimates because it dilutes the average grade estimate and increases the volume mined. Dilution can be classified as either internal or external. Internal dilution occurs within a mining block in which pockets of material below cut-off grade cannot be removed selectively during the digging operation. External dilution typically occurs because of blasting which causes material movement and mixing of ore and waste along mining block boundaries (Figure 12-1).
Internal dilution was estimated in the reserve block model by averaging metal content within each 40 x 40 x 20-foot block provided in the resource block model. Both the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats resource block models were modeled using an ore percent approach to estimate the amount of waste within a single block with dimensions 40 x 40 x 20 ft. The West End resource block model was estimated on a whole block basis using 20 x 20 x 20-foot blocks to account for narrow geological controls as discussed in Section 11. Internal dilution at West End was estimated by consolidating the blocks, i.e., re-blocking the model into 40 x 40 x 20-foot blocks.
Additionally, ore type designation dilution was estimated by applying an algorithm to identify blocks with an ore-type classification that did not match at least 30% of the adjacent 8 horizontal blocks. These blocks were reclassified to match the predominant adjacent ore classification. This resulted in some blocks being reclassified from ore to waste, waste to ore, and one ore-type classification to another, e.g., oxide ore reclassified as low antimony ore.
An external dilution study was conducted to estimate dilution occurring along ore block boundaries between adjacent blocks. The study consisted of approximating ore control mining boundaries on 20-foot benches and estimating dilution based on strict mining adherence to the boundaries. Resulting from this study, a 10% dilution boundary for each block

was applied to estimate external dilution resulting from blasting. This equates to an 8-foot mixing zone which is approximately half the distance between blasthole spacing. This degree of dilution would result in an approximately 3% increase in ore mined with a loss of approximately 2% gold mass for an effective grade dilution of 5%. To account for this, a mining dilution factor of 5% was input to the Whittle pit limit analysis.

Overall pit slope angles and sectors were provided by the Project geotechnical consultant STRATA, Inc. (STRATA, 2018) for all three open pits as shown on Figure 12-2, Figure 12-3, and Figure 12-4. Slope sectors were coded into the block model prior to importing into Whittle.

| 12.2.4 | Mining Method and Mining Costs | |
Conventional owner-operated truck and shovel open-pit mining methods were selected as the most viable mining method for the deposits at this time. Mining costs used for the pit limit analysis are based on calculations using first principles cost buildup based on equipment requirements, labor estimates, and updated consumables price quotes at the time these reserves were first reported in 2021. Consistent with the 2022 TRS, mining costs comprise pit and dump operations, delivery of the ore to the crusher or stockpiles and waste to the DRSFs, road maintenance, mine supervision, and mining-related technical services. While one mining cost is presented, a range of mining costs was evaluated to test the sensitivity of the UPLA to mining cost parameters and concluded that the selected ultimate pit limits were not highly sensitive to operating costs within the expected accuracy (+/- 25%).
As an example, Yellow Pine mining cost per ton for the $1,000 shell ranges from $2.72 at the bottom bench (elevation 5,240 ft) to $2.25 at the pit rim entrance (elevation 6,180 ft) to $2.55 at the highest bench (elevation 6,780 ft) as shown on Figure 12-5.
A reference mining cost of $2.25/st plus an incremental cost of $0.01 per 20-foot bench both below and above the pit rim (entrance) were applied to each pit individually in the 2022 TRS. This incremental cost was added to benches below the pit rim to account for additional haulage cost when hauling from the pit loaded. Due to the site topography, the incremental bench cost was added for benches above the pit rim to account for access road development to upper pit benches and decreased mining efficiency on smaller benches within the pit upper reaches.
The QP notes that the mining cost estimate presented in Sections 18 and 19 of this Report increased as compared to the corresponding costs in the 2022 TRS. Cost increases were primarily due to sector-wide inflation, advancements in engineering, permitting and contracting. Similarly, updated equipment operating cost estimates, labor estimates, and additional mine development costs added to account for in-pit production access in steep terrain. Considering increases operating cost estimates since the 2022 TRS, the QP performed and reviewed internal analyses to consider the impact of increasing operating costs on cut-off grades and pit shell designs. This analysis considered a variety of operating cost scenarios and as previously determined, pit shell designs remained relatively insensitive to operating cost changes. The QP has also considered the impact of increasing metal prices in its internal analyses and noted that metal prices and operating costs are negatively correlated and result in partially offsetting effects for the purposes of pit shell design. The QP notes that the various scenarios assessed showed no material changes to the pit shell designs published in the 2022 TRS, and continue to accurately reflect Perpetuas permitted, proposed mine plan. Accordingly, the QP determined that the combination of 2021 operating cost estimates and corresponding gold price assumption ($1,600) derive similar mining and pit shell design parameters as those described in Section 19 of this Report and continues to provide a reasonable basis for establishing that the Project is economically viable.

| 12.2.5 | Metallurgical Recoveries Forecast Algorithms | |
Metallurgical recovery functions and costs were applied to gold, silver, and antimony as presented in Section 10. The pit limit analysis was performed on gold recovery only to ensure the ultimate pit geometries would not be dependent on silver or antimony value. Silver and antimony recoveries were incorporated into the mine schedule once the ultimate pit designs were completed, as discussed in Section 12.4.
| 12.2.6 | Process Costs, Selling Costs, Payability, and Royalties | |
Each unit of mined material from the three pits and historical tailings was classified into one of six ore type designations as shown in Table 12-3. The designation corresponds to the highest Net Smelter Return (NSR) value as further discussed in Section 12.2.9. Process and selling costs applied in the UPLA are shown in Table 12-4 and are based on the Recovery Methods detailed in Section 14 of this Report and cost estimates utilized during the most recently published mineral reserve calculation, as presented in the 2022 TRS, which are presented in Table 12-4 below. The QP reviewed a sensitivity analysis performed by a third-party consultant of the UPLA relative to process costs and concluded that the selection of an ultimate shell is not highly sensitive to operating costs. Given the relative lack of sensitivity to operating costs, the QP has determined that the combination of 2021 operating cost estimates and corresponding gold price assumption ($1,600) derive similar mining and pit shell design parameters as those described in Section 19 of this report.

| 12.2.7 | Metal Selling Prices | |
A suite of nested pit shells for each deposit was generated using revenue factors that reflected a gold selling price ranging from $100 to $2,000 per troy ounce in $50 increments. The nested pit shells generated using the Pseudoflow algorithm in Geovia Whittle represent the optimal pit shell geometry based on undiscounted cash flow. Each nested pit shell is then evaluated using the estimated metal sell price. The gold price used in the nested shell evaluation was $1,600 per troy ounce. Current metal prices are higher than $1,600 per troy ounce used in this analysis with the weekly average for the 5-year period preceding the effective date of this Report of approximately $2,275 per troy ounce. The lowest value during this period was $1,645 per troy ounce and the value used is considered a conservative approach given high volatility in prices over the 5-year period used as a price guideline. Antimony and silver value were not included in the pit limit analysis to prevent their value from influencing the pit design and provides additional conservatism that de-risks the dependence of the project on revenues from those metals.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Sensitivity analyses were performed on both the Yellow Pine pit and Hangar Flats pit to assess the potential impact silver and antimony could have on pit geometry. The pit shell size increase resulting from either addition of silver, antimony, or the combined value was insignificant as compared to pit shells calculated using only gold value.
| 12.2.8 | Discount Rate | |
S-K 1300 specifies that a pre-feasibility study must include an economic analysis that supports the propertys economic viability as assessed by a detailed discounted cash flow analysis or other similar financial analysis. For the ultimate pit limit analysis, an annual discount rate of 10% was applied using a high-level scheduling algorithm in the Whittle Pit by Pit Graph and choosing the ultimate pit limit based on an incremental analysis of the discounted NPV generated by that schedule. The QP notes the final Economic Analysis of the Project Reserves is presented in Section 19 and uses an after-tax discount rate of 5% for the purposes of calculating the discounted cash-flow NPV calculation of the consolidated project and continues to provide a reasonable basis for establishing that the Project is economically viable. The elevated discount rate for pit limit analysis accounts for the difference between before and after-tax analysis and the higher level of uncertainty in the pit limit analysis inputs relative to the final Project evaluation in Section 19.
| 12.2.9 | Block Value Calculation | |
A Net Smelter Return (NSR) cut-off methodology was adopted to calculate block value and ore type due to the polymetallic nature of the ore deposits and separate process streams with unique process costs. The Net of Process Revenue (NPR), defined as NSR less process plant operating expenditures (OPEX) and general and administrative costs (G&A), was calculated on a block-by-block basis in dollars per ton of ore to estimate the value of a block for each available process stream. Mining costs are not included in the calculation of NPR because it will be approximately the same for an ore block regardless of process stream designation. The potential process stream designations used to define each block ore type are explained in and are based on the Recovery Methods detailed in Section 14 and cost estimates utilized during the most recently published mineral reserve calculation, as presented in the 2022 TRS. The QP reviewed a sensitivity analysis performed by a third-party consultant of the UPLA relative to process costs and concluded that the selection of an ultimate shell is not highly sensitive to cost.
For the pit limit analysis, antimony and silver are assumed to have no value therefore, the high antimony sulfide ore process stream is effectively unavailable due to the process cost associated with producing an Sb concentrate with no Sb value. In effect, the pit limit analysis evaluated the project based on on-site gold processing only. Once the pit is designed, silver and antimony NPR are calculated on a block-by-block basis and included in the reserve estimate. An example of NPR calculation and block ore type classification determination is shown in Table 12-5.

**12.3****Ultimate Pit Limit Shell Selection**
To determine the extents of the ultimate pit limits for the Project, an analysis of incremental pit shells (i.e. nested shells) was conducted using the inputs discussed previously in this section. Discussion of nested pit shells in this section is limited to selecting shells for ultimate pit designs. There is further discussion in Section 13 of this Report regarding internal pit phase design as it relates to nested pit shells.
The cash flow analyses for nested pit shells were performed by a third-party consultant using Whittle software and were reviewed by the QP. The analyses produce two discounted values for each nested shell often referred to as Best Case and Worst Case. The Worst Case values are calculated for each pit shell as if the shell is mined in its entirety bench-by-bench without internal phasing. This delays access to higher-grade ore and reduces NPV as compared to a phased mining approach. The Best Case values are calculated sequentially from the smallest to largest pit shell, where each shell represents an internal pit phase. Each pit shell increment is scheduled as if the prior shell has already been mined and processed allowing for the pit to advance downward quickly and access higher-value ore and increased NPV. The actual mining sequence is likely to be in-between these two scenarios, including internal phases while maintaining large enough benches for consistent mine productivity.
Nested pit shell cash flow analysis for all three pits was performed on a suite of shells ranging in gold sell price between $100/oz to $2,000/oz in increments of $50/oz.
**12.3.1****Yellow Pine Pit Shell Selection**
The Yellow Pine maximum discounted value shells for the worst case and best case are $950 and $1,550; respectively (see Figure 12-6). The incremental change in discounted pit value (NPV) and strip ratio between these two shells is gradual which implies the value of Yellow Pine is not highly sensitive to the selection of a specific shell. Whittle allows for a third, Specified Case, however, due to the nature of the deposit, the nested shells did not accurately represent the likely mining sequence so directional shells were ultimately chosen to guide internal phases as discussed in Section 13.2.1.
To properly analyze and select an ultimate pit within the range specified above, a third-party consultant performed an incremental analysis of each subsequent pit to determine the point where the additional mining no longer adds significant value (see Figure 12-7). This analysis utilizes an incremental return which is approximated as the incremental change in discounted value divided by the incremental change in discounted total costs. The resulting incremental return can be compared to the project minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR, 10%) to determine when incremental additions no longer generate significant value. As the actual value is recognized to be between the best- and worst-case scenarios, the consultant chose to use a weighted average return to reflect the likely results of a realistic schedule. Due to the topography at the site, the worst-case is highly unlikely as it begins mining at the top of the mountain, neglecting the accessible ore in the bottom of the valley. With this in mind, the average was weighted at 75% of the best-case and only 25% of the worst-case and $1,250 was chosen as its average return (12.5%) was the last incremental return above the MARR. The QP considers this approach appropriate and applicable for the pit selection utilized for this analysis.

| 12.3.2 | Hangar Flats Pit Shell Selection | |
For the Hangar Flats deposit, a similar analysis to Yellow Pine resulted in an ultimate pit between $1,100 and $1,600 with an incremental analysis suggesting $1,150 be chosen as the ultimate pit (see Figure 12-8). However, upon review, this large Hanger Flats pit presented a number of technical challenges, risks, and costs associated with mining through the extensive historical underground workings and development of a haul road from the Fiddle Creek basin to access its upper benches. Based upon a mine sequence analysis, the project team selected a much smaller footprint for the initial Hanger Flats pit ($750 shell). As this shell (Figure 12-9) may be an internal phase of a larger Hanger Flats pit it allows for additional study of the true costs associated with a potential layback and a better understanding of the operational requirements of mining through the historical workings.

Similar to Yellow Pine, the incremental pit shell changes in discounted value and strip ratio are relatively gradual without any substantial incremental change between the maximum values for worst-case and best-case, as shown in Figure 12-10.
Reviewing the incremental return, as discussed in the Yellow Pine Pit Shell Selection, results in an ultimate pit selection of $1,300 for West End that has an incremental return of 10.9% as shown in Figure 12-11.

| 12.6 | Cut-Off Grade and Resource Ore Type Classification | |
Initial mine planning was performed using the ultimate pit designs and break-even cut-off values on a block-by-block basis using the parameters and cost assumptions in Sections 12.4, 12.5 and 12.6.This resulted in the ore mining rate exceeding the mill throughput rate unless either the mining rate was significantly reduced, or substantial stockpiles could be established to accept the lower value ore. Reducing the mining rate would defer access to higher-value ore and, all else equal, would subsequently reduce the project NPV. Stockpile capacity is limited by steep terrain and the intent to restrict site disturbance. Therefore, an optimal mineral reserve cut-off strategy was developed using elevated cut-off values in the mine schedule to maximize recoverable metal and efficiently utilize the available stockpile capacity. This cut-off strategy enabled a practical mining rate that improved project value by processing higher value ore earlier in the mill feed schedule. The life-of-mine cut-off values remain unchanged from those in the 2022 TRS and are shown in Table 12-8. The approximate variable cut-off values over time identified in the mineral reserve cut-off strategy analyses are shown on Figure 12-20 and Figure 12-21. Cost assumptions used to calculate cut-off values were validated once the final mine schedule was developed as presented in Section 13.12.3 of this Report.
Cut-off values in this TRS incorporate long-term stockpiles into the mine plan and targets the highest grade available ore is processed throughout the mine life and extends the mill life by approximately 2 years beyond termination of mining activities.
Ore type classification for the three open pits was determined on a block-by-block basis by calculating the block NPR value for each potential process stream designation (i.e., high Sb sulfide, low Sb sulfide, oxide, low Sb transitional) and classifying the block ore type by whichever process stream designation had the highest potential value. The Historical Tailings will be processed concurrently with ore sourced from the open pits during the first four years of operations. Therefore, the Historical Tailings ore type classification is proportional to the open pit ore type classification during the first four years of operations since the Historical Tailings will accompany the open pit ore process stream designation.

| 12.7 | Mineral Reserve Estimate | |
The Stibnite Gold Project Mineral Reserves are presented in Table 12-9 and Table 12-10 from the reference point of delivery to the processing plant. Risk factors considered when estimating reserves included pit geotechnical criteria, declining metal prices, lower metallurgical recoveries, and potential for increased operating costs. Geotechnical risk is primarily associated with the Hangar Flats pit due to historic underground workings near the proposed highwall and loose alluvial material intersecting the upper portion of the pit design. This risk has been mitigated by incorporating a widened catch bench approximately halfway up the pit highwall and significantly reducing the pit size as compared to the size suggested from the UPLA as explained in Section 12.3.2. A third-party consultant performed sensitivity analyses of the UPLA relative to process costs, operating costs, and metal prices and concluded that the selection of an ultimate shell is not highly sensitive to these modifying factors. The QP reviewed this analysis and concurs with the consultants analysis. Pit designs are based on pit shells using gold only, therefore de-risking the dependence of the Project on revenues from antimony and silver. The QP notes that the various scenarios assessed showed no material changes to the pit shell designs published in the 2022 TRS, and continue to accurately reflect Perpetuas permitted, proposed mine plan, and, therefore, the combination of 2021 operating cost estimates and corresponding gold price assumption ($1,600) derive similar mining and pit shell design parameters as those described in Section 19 of this Report and continues to provide a reasonable basis for establishing that the Project is economically viable. Further discussion of risks that could affect the economic potential of the Project is provided in Section 22 of this Report.

**13****Mining Methods**
| 13.1 | Introduction | |
The Stibnite Gold Project mine plan consists of mining three primary mineral deposits and re-mining the Historical Tailings using conventional open-pit shovel and truck mining methods. The open-pit shovel and truck mining method was selected as it is a proven method previously used on this property. The method is best for lower-grade deposits where bulk methods, like shovel and truck mining, reduce the overall mining costs, and the mining of four separate deposits utilizes the flexibility of shovel and truck mining. The mining operation will deliver 8.05 million short tons (st) of oxide and sulfide mineralized ore to the crusher per year (nominally 22,050 st per day). Geotechnical inputs for the mine design can be found in Section 12.2.3 of this Report and hydrological parameters are found in Section 15.9 of this Report.
Ore from the three open pits, Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End, will be sent to either the crusher located near the processing plant or one of several ore stockpiles located throughout the Project site. The Historical Tailings will be trucked to a re-pulping facility adjacent to the tailings deposit and hydraulically transferred to the process plant grinding circuit via a re-pulping facility. Most of the development rock from the three open pits will be sent to one of five destinations: the TSF embankment, the TSF Buttress, the Yellow Pine open pit backfill, the Hangar Flats open pit backfill, and the West End open pit backfill as shown on Figure 13-1. A small portion of the development rock will be used in various development projects, especially during pre-production as further discussed in Section 13.4. A summary of the ore tonnage by process route and waste tonnage from each of the primary deposits and the Historical Tailings is provided in Table 13-1.
The general sequence of open-pit mining is Yellow Pine first, Hangar Flats second, and West End last. This sequence generally progresses from mining the highest value ore to lowest value ore and accommodates backfilling the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats open pits with material mined from West End open pit, thereby accelerating concurrent reclamation and restoration of the EFSFSR. The Historical Tailings will be mined and processed during the first four years of operation concurrent with mining ore from the Yellow Pine open pit.
The mine planning methodology applied the following general procedures:
| | designing ultimate pits designs (Section 12.4); | |
| | designing internal pit phases for each open pit (Section 13.2); | |
| | developing the strategic mine plan (Section 13.3); | |
| | scheduling mine development work and incorporating it into the strategic mine plan (Section 13.4); | |
| | designing and scheduling stockpiles and development rock storage facilities (Section 13.6); | |
| | optimizing the process ore feed schedule (Section 13.7); | |
| | scheduling a detailed mine plan (13.8); | |

| 13.2 | Open Pit Phase Design | |
The purpose of designing phases within the ultimate pit designs is to balance development rock stripping and ore access, bring higher-value ore forward in the mine schedule, guide detailed mine scheduling, allow for concurrent backfilling of pits and facilitate concurrent reclamation and restoration. The open pit phase designs were based on the nested pit shells generated in the Ultimate Pit Limit Analysis described in Section 12.2 of this Report. Phase designs include all interim in-pit access roads to develop each phase and allowance for adequate equipment operating requirements.
| 13.2.1 | Yellow Pine Pit Phase Design | |
In addition to the nested pit shells produced in the Ultimate Pit Limit Analysis (UPLA), a suite of directional pit shells was generated for the Yellow Pine deposit to identify potential for mining the main portion of Yellow Pine first and the northern Homestake area last (Figure 13-2). This phasing sequence allows for accelerated access to high-value ore deep in the central Yellow Pine deposit and provides for a short development rock haul from the Homestake area to the Yellow Pine pit backfill to reduce haulage cost.

| 13.2.2 | Hangar Flats Pit Phase Design | |
The Hangar Flats pit design consists of a single phase due to its small size and steep topography which requires a top-down mining approach. An internal phase within Hangar Flats would likely result in very narrow bench widths in the northwest highwall causing significantly reduced mining production rates (Figure 13-3). Additional discussion regarding the Hangar Flats open-pit geometry alternatives is provided in Section 13.3.2

| 13.2.3 | West End Pit Phase Design | |
Four pit phases were designed for the West End pit: (1) Middle Marble limestone mining, (2) Midnight area pit production, (3) South West End pit production, and (4) Main West End pit production as shown on Figure 13-4. Mining limestone from the Middle Marble geologic unit located in the northeast portion of the West End open pit is required for the lime kiln to produce lime used in ore processing. The Midnight Area phase sequence is primarily driven by when access is available for backfilling this area using development rock produced in the Main West End phase. The South West End phase is accessible via the ROM-to-West End Haul Road and can be mined independently of the Main West End phase. The Main West End phase does not benefit significantly from additional phasing due to the homogeneous nature of the ore body.

| 13.2.4 | Historical Tailings Phase Design | |
Approximately 3 million tons of Historical Tailings from processing ore in the World War II era underlie spent heap leach material. The spent material will be removed and used as construction material for the TSF exposing the Historical Tailings. The 2,687 kt of Historical Tailings will be excavated and hauled by truck to a nearby handling facility where it would be screened, re-pulped, and pumped to the grinding circuit.
For mine planning purposes, the Historical Tailings resource is modeled with constant grade and value throughout the deposit. Therefore, phasing the Historical Tailings is not influenced by advancing access to higher value ore but instead by the need to accommodate construction of adjacent facilities and avoid costs associated with double handling of the material. The Historical Tailings are planned to be excavated and processed during the first 4 years of mill operation as shown on Figure 13-5.

| 13.3 | Mine Sequence Analysis | |
The mine sequence analysis consisted of evaluating various combinations of mining sequence, pit design alternatives, fleet alternatives, and mining production rates to optimize project value and produce a strategic mine plan. The strategic mine plan was then used as a blueprint for detailed mine planning including stockpile optimization, equipment scheduling, equipment cost estimating, development rock storage facility scheduling, mill feed optimization, and the life-of-mine production schedule. The primary objectives for the mine sequence analysis included:
| | Identify most favorable Hangar Flats open pit geometry; | |
| | evaluate mine production ramp-up and peak production rate alternatives; | |
| | maximize access to high-value ore early in the mine life for increased project value; | |
| | identify optimal mine production fleet criterion; | |
| | maximize mine production equipment productivity and utilization; | |
| | balance development rock stripping and access to ore; | |
| | ensure consistent ore feed to the process plant throughout the mine life; | |
| | provide pit-sourced material to construction projects as needed particularly during construction; | |
| | ensure project objectives and constraints are achieved such as backfilling the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats Pits; | |
| | support concurrent reclamation and restoration; and | |
| | generate a period-based (monthly prior to Year 3 and quarterly after) mine production schedule. | |
| 13.3.1 | Process Facility Mined Material Requirements | |
There are four general types of mined material that affect the mining sequence and mining production rate:
| | Run-of-mine (ROM) sulfide ore - Since all material to be processed during the first few years of operation is sulfide ore from the Yellow Pine open pit, the process plant throughput ramp-up schedule is based on ROM sulfide ore. | |
| | ROM oxide ore - Substantial quantities of oxide ore are not encountered until the West End open pit is in full production. Therefore, a direct cyanide leaching circuit is planned to be operational starting in Year 7. High-value oxide ore mined prior to Year 7 will be stockpiled and rehandled to the crusher once the circuit is operational. | |
| | Historical tailings Historical tailings are scheduled to be processed during the first four years of mill operations to allow for the advancing construction of the TSF Buttress and because the tailings add Project value without displacing ROM ore. | |

| | Limestone Limestone from the Middle Marble geologic formation will be mined and used directly as crushed limestone or processed in a lime kiln to provide the lime necessary to increase the pH of solutions and slurries as needed for processing sulfide ore. | |
The process plant, at full production capacity, is designed to process 8.05 million tons per year of ROM ore via the crusher and an additional 0.916 million tons per year of historical tailings. Process plant ROM ramp-up to full production is scheduled to occur during the first 3 years of operation and Historical Tailings ramp-up occurs during the first year of operation as shown on Figure 13-6. The ore processing schedule for mineralized material by ore type is shown on Figure 13-7.

| 13.3.2 | Alternative Pit Geometry Evaluation | |
Alternative pit geometries based on pit shells may warrant evaluation in the mine sequence analysis if the nested pit shells for a deposit do not clearly identify the most suitable shell to use as guidance for the ultimate pit design. This can provide additional information beneficial to selecting the appropriate pit shell to be used in the ultimate pit design. Hangar Flats was the only deposit identified as having potential for higher value and less risk by evaluating pit designs outside the range of pit shells identified as optimal from the Ultimate Pit Limit Analysis.
Several Hangar Flats pit designs were evaluated, including a single-phase pit based on the $1,150/oz Au pit shell, a small single-phase pit based on the $750/oz Au pit shell, and a phased design incorporating both pit shells as shown on Figure 13-8. The single-phase design based on the $750/oz Au pit shell was selected to reduce costly access to upper benches, lower strip ratio, reduce project footprint, reduce the quantity of development rock generated and therefore the size of the DRSFs, allow elimination of the Fiddle DRSF, reduce closure cost, and reduce potentially detrimental effects on sitewide water management.

| 13.3.3 | Mine Production Rates | |
Evaluating mine production rates is essential to determine the duration of the mine life, duration of the process plant life (dependent on stockpile capacity), ore access schedule, and mining equipment fleet requirements. Mine production rate determination objectives included:
| | balancing ore and development mining to maintain optimal process plant ore feed; | |
| | accessing higher value ore earlier in the schedule while minimizing stockpile development and/or excessively elevating cut-off values; | |
| | deferring development mining cost; | |
| | minimizing stockpile rehandle cost; | |

| | supporting concurrent pit backfilling and thereby accelerating concurrent reclamation and restoration; | |
| | deferring equipment purchase capital cost; | |
| | minimizing equipment capital and operating cost; | |
| | scheduling a gradual fleet size ramp-up at start of operations; | |
| | avoiding production fluctuations to maintain consistent staffing levels; and, | |
| | providing adaptability in mine plan execution. | |
A suite of scenarios combining incremental production rates ranging from 28 to 48 million tons per year, Hangar Flats pit design alternatives, and variable production ramp-up schedules were evaluated to meet the objectives listed above. An approximate mine production rate of 34 million tons per year was selected based on stated objectives and Project value estimates.
| 13.3.4 | Mine Production Fleet Equipment Selection | |
The Project mine production fleet is typical for an open pit hard rock mine consisting of loading equipment (i.e., hydraulic shovels and wheel loaders), haul trucks, blast hole drills, and large dozers. The selected production fleet is the basis for mine production rates, detailed mine production schedules, and subsequent cost schedules.
Haul truck selection considerations included mine production rate, haul distance and profile, maneuverability, and fleet versatility to service multiple concurrent loading areas. Four haul truck size classes were considered in the production equipment fleet alternative analysis: 100-ton, 150-ton, 200-ton, and 250-ton. Based on a mine production rate of 34 million tons per year and an average round-trip haul distance of 6 miles, the number of trucks required for haul fleets consisting of 100-ton, 150-ton, 200-ton, and 250-ton trucks would be 24, 16, 12, and 10; respectively.
The 100-ton class haul truck was considered due to the maneuverability and versatility well suited for developing haul roads and operating productively on the narrow benches expected during open pit development. Although the 100-ton class haul truck could be effective for mine development work, they would be inefficient for production mining in the open pits once roads are established and initial benches developed. Therefore, the 100-ton class haul truck was eliminated from further evaluation and a separate development fleet was chosen to perform mine development, concurrent reclamation, and construction projects as described in Section 13.3.5.
The 250-ton class haul truck fleet size was also rejected for further analysis due to the estimated production inefficiency resulting from allocating a fleet of only 10 trucks to three concurrent loading areas (e.g. Yellow Pine open pit, Hangar Flats open pit, and a stockpile). A haulage simulation comparing 150-ton and 200-ton class haul trucks identified 150-ton class haul trucks as the best alternative due to the greater flexibility to serve multiple loading units and increased productivity offsetting added labor cost.
Loading equipment selection considerations included production rate, bench height, hydraulic shovel versus wheel loader, mobility, material selectivity, haul truck compatibility, and operational workspace requirements.
Hydraulic shovels were selected as the primary pit production loading equipment instead of wheel loaders because:

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| | the three open pits are mined sequentially allowing for loading equipment to remain in each pit for long durations reducing the need for mobility; | |
| | narrow benches in some portions of the open pits favor hydraulic shovels which require less operational workspace; | |
| | hydraulic shovels typically have a shorter truck loading cycle time than wheel loaders which contributes to increased fleet productivity; | |
| | hydraulic shovels have greater material selectivity which reduces potential ore dilution; | |
| | equipment longevity and mechanical availability; and | |
| | optional configuration (i.e. backhoe or shovel) for safe and productive operation on varied bench heights. | |
Hydraulic shovels with either 22-yd3 or 28-yd3 buckets are well-suited to load 150-ton class haul trucks. The approximate number of bucket-passes calculated to load a 150-ton class haul truck by 22-yd3 and 28-yd3 bucket hydraulic shovels is 5 and 4; respectively. A loading simulation was performed to compare productivity between 22-yd3 and 28-yd3 bucket hydraulic shovels including different material types and loading conditions anticipated throughout the mine life. The simulation projected a reduction in loading time of approximately 18,000 hours over the LOM for the 28-yd3 bucket hydraulic shovel as compared to the 22-yd3 bucket. Although the capital cost of the larger 28-yd3 bucket hydraulic shovel is more than the 22-yd3, the improved loading productivity and potential reduction in truck wait-time contributes to better Project economics. Two 28-yd3 bucket hydraulic shovels were selected as the primary loading equipment matched to a fleet of 150-ton class haul trucks. One of the hydraulic shovels would be configured as a face shovel and the other as a backhoe to increase loading flexibility depending on bench height and workspace conditions. In addition to the two hydraulic shovels, a 28-yd3 wheel loader is included in the production fleet to support loading during hydraulic shovel maintenance and loading stockpiled ore from various locations throughout the mine site as needed.
Rotary blasthole drills will be used for pit production drilling. Drills were selected primarily based on the ability to single-pass drill to a depth required for a 40-foot bench and drill hole diameter ranging from 61/2 inches to 105/8 inches. An average of five production drills with approximately 70,000-pound pulldown force are included in the production fleet as further detailed in Section 13.8.3.
Large dozers will be required to support hydraulic shovels and maintain development rock storage facilities. An average of five concurrently operating 600 horse-power dozers are included in the production fleet as further detailed in Section 13.8.4.
| 13.3.5 | Mine Development Fleet Equipment Selection | |
The development fleet for the Project is defined as the primary mining equipment used to construct haul roads, develop initial benches for production fleet mining, mine in-pit locations too confined for the production fleet, support various projects (e.g. TSF rind fills, water management ponds), and support concurrent reclamation. The development fleet is effectively a smaller version of the production fleet consisting of articulated haul trucks, excavators, loaders, surface drills, and medium size dozers.

| 13.3.7 | Strategic Mine Plan | |
The product of the mine sequence analysis is a strategic mine plan that defines the sequence of mining best suited to meet the objectives listed in the beginning of Section 13.3 and project-specific criteria including:
| | Backfill Yellow Pine open pit to support concurrent restoration of the original gradient of the EFSFSR; | |
| | concurrent backfill Hangar Flats open pit to approximate the original valley elevation and gradient; | |
| | concurrent backfill the Midnight area within the West End open pit; | |
| | avoid concurrent mining of Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats open pit below valley elevation to reduce overlapping water management requirements; | |
| | access the Middle Marble formation in West End early and stockpiling limestone prior to processing ore; | |
| | construct growth medium stockpile bases from suitable in-pit glacial till; and | |
| | deliver material required for TSF construction and other construction related projects. | |
The strategic mine plan is used to evaluate stockpile strategy, DRSF construction sequencing, mill feed optimization and guide the development of a mine production schedule.
To develop the strategic mine plan, each pit phase was split into cuts and assigned a mining fleet and production rate based on the fleet and type of mining activity. An example set of cuts for the Yellow Open pit is shown in Table 13-3. This methodology facilitated evaluating multiple mining sequences, pit geometries, equipment alternatives, and production rates with appreciable detail to determine the most favorable strategic mine plan. Each scenario included expected production delays due to road construction, bench operating limitations, drilling and blasting for bench access, periods of excessive average haul distance, and common factors such as equipment mechanical availability. The most favorable mine plan consisted of a Hangar Flats pit design based on the $750/oz Au pit shell, a production fleet based on 28-yd3 hydraulic shovels matched to 150-ton class haul trucks, a development fleet based on 45-ton class articulated trucks, and a general mining sequence as shown on Figure 13-9. Material mined by deposit and year is shown on Figure 13-10. Ore mined by deposit and ore type is shown on Figure 13-11.

| 13.4 | Mine Development Plan | |
The mine development plan consists of scheduling open-pit development and sitewide construction activities that will be performed by the mining fleet equipment and staff. These activities include:
| | constructing initial sitewide haul roads; | |
| | constructing in-pit roads to access initial mine production working benches; | |
| | pre-stripping and developing pit benches for the mine production fleet; | |
| | mining upper benches within the Yellow Pine open pit as needed for the through-site access road; | |
| | accessing and mining the Middle Marble formation to stockpile sufficient limestone prior to processing ore; | |
| | mining, hauling, and placing fill material for TSF construction; | |
| | supporting various sitewide construction activities; and, | |
| | constructing growth media stockpile foundations. | |
The mine development plan was created using first principal calculations for drilling, blasting, loading, and hauling equipment requirements and activity scheduling. Example calculations are provided in Table 13-7, Section 13.8.2. This

schedule was then incorporated into the equipment maintenance estimate, staffing estimate, and cost estimate. A summary of activities captured in the mine development plan are shown on Figure 13-12.

| 13.5 | Ore Stockpile Strategy Analysis | |
A feature of the mine plan is the use of long-term ore stockpiles. The primary benefit of ore stockpile capacity is increased potential to optimize process ore feed value throughout the mine life, improve long term closure by processing lower grade ore that could otherwise become a source of metal leaching in the DRSFs, and support pit phasing and therefore concurrent backfilling and restoration activities. This is particularly significant during the first half of the mine life when Yellow Pine high value ore is mined at a rate greater than process plant throughput capacity. If stockpile capacity is not available, either the period-based cut-off value must increase resulting in ore converted to waste, or the mining rate reduced to align with process plant throughput capacity resulting in deferred access to high-value ore deeper in the open pit. The addition of long-term ore stockpiles allows for relatively high value ore mined from Yellow Pine open pit to be stockpiled and made available to process when lower value ore is being mined in West End open pit.
The principal objective of the ore stockpile strategy was to increase Project value by stockpiling ore with higher value than is available later in the mine plan. Additional objectives include:
| | reducing peak mining rates particularly when pre-stripping West End and concurrently mining Hanging Flats and Yellow Pine open pits; | |
| | stabilize mining rates by providing additional options to source ore for processing; | |
| | provide operational ore blending and campaigning flexibility including deferral of oxide ore processing; | |
| | support optimal utilization of the mineral resource while reducing low grade ore being sent to the DRSFs where it is more likely to be a source of metal leaching than once it is converted to tailings, metals extracted and neutralized and stored in a lined facility; | |
| | reduce Project risk related to open pit ore production disruptions; | |
| | extend process plant life while increasing Project value; | |
| | increase Project value opportunity if metal sell prices increase; and, | |
| | incorporate stockpile designs into DRSF layout to facilitate reclamation and minimize additional ground disturbance resulting from ore stockpiles. | |
The ore stockpile strategy analysis consisted of using the strategic mine plan and assigning each unit of material mined a value-based grade bin designation. An optimized mill feed schedule including stockpile rehandle cost was then created assuming unlimited stockpile capacity and segregation by grade bin and ore type (i.e. ten grade bins for each of the four open pit ore types). This mill feed schedule represents a best-case scenario but is unachievable due to geographical constraints and being operationally impracticable. Using this schedule as a guide, multiple iterations of DRSF design, DRSF sequencing, and stockpile design were evaluated to proximate the best-case scenario as described in Section 13.6.

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 13.6 | DRSF and Stockpile Analysis | |
The DRSF and stockpile analysis was an iterative process of designing and sequencing both DRSFs and ore stockpiles in combination to augment project value by advancing higher value ore feed to the mill and abate operating costs associated with haulage and stockpile rehandle. The outcome of this analysis is DRSF designs, DRSF construction sequence, ore stockpile designs and calculated ore type and grade for use in the mill feed optimization. Development rock from the three open pits is planned to be sent to five different permanent destinations over the mine life consisting of: the TSF embankment and rind fills; the TSF Buttress; the mined-out Yellow Pine open pit; the mined-out Hangar Flats open pit; and the Midnight area within the mined-out West End open pit. In addition to these five areas, other destinations will receive development rock from the three open pits including a temporary ore stockpile base within the West End open pit, a foundation for stockpiling growth medium and recovered seed bank material, a reclamation materials stockpile located on the TSF Buttress, and miscellaneous projects such as road fills and ore stockpile foundations.
Ore from the three open pits is planned to be delivered to either the crusher as direct feed for processing, short-term stockpiles located on the ROM pad, or long-term stockpiles located primarily on the TSF Buttress and Hangar Flats open pit backfill. The locations of waste and ore destinations are shown on Figure 13-13. The waste destination schedule is shown on Figure 13-14.

**Figure 13-14:****Development Rock Destination by Pit and Year**
| 13.7 | Mill Feed Optimization | |
A mill feed optimization was conducted using the strategic mine plan and stockpile schedule to ensure the highest value ore available is processed and to create the final mill feed schedule. The optimization consisted of scheduling ore routing from pit-to-mill, pit-to-stockpile, and stockpile-to-mill on a monthly period until the end of Year 2 and then on a quarterly period for the remainder of the process plant life. This methodology was applied to identify suitable timing for constructing the oxide ore processing circuit and calculating ore load and haul requirements for input into the mine production schedule analysis. The final mill feed schedule is the basis for reporting Mineral Reserve Estimates as provided in Section 12 of this Report.
Opportunity to increase Project value during the mill feed optimization was primarily driven by maximizing stockpile ore value available for process during periods when in-pit ore is lower in value than stockpiled ore. It was an iterative process of scheduling variable stockpile cut-off values by ore type while considering incremental cost between ore directly fed to process from an open pit versus rehandling ore from stockpiles to process. The outcome of this process defined each stockpile ore quantity, ore type, cut-off value, average value and grade, and stockpile duration. Ore processed by year and source is shown on Figure 13-15. Long-term ore stockpile progression is shown on Figure 13-16.

| 13.8 | Mine Production Schedule Analysis | |
The mine production schedule analysis consisted of creating a detailed period based mine schedule derived from the strategic mine plan, mine development schedule, mill feed schedule, and DRSF and stockpile schedule. It is an aggregation of these schedules into a single schedule with the addition of equipment requirement calculations to generate the final mine production schedule used to estimate equipment requirements, equipment purchase schedule, and the mining operating expenditure schedule.

Mining is scheduled for 365 days per year and 2 shifts per day of 12 hours duration each. A summary of equipment operator working time and delays are provided in Table 13-3.

Loading and hauling calculations for the mine production schedule consisted of pairing loading equipment to hauling equipment by fleet and mining task to estimate production rates. Production rates were calculated on first principal assumptions including: bucket capacity; truck bed capacity; material densities; fill factor; cycle time; truck spot time; face cleanup delay; mechanical availability over the machine life; usage, tramming; haul profiles; expected haul delays; and sitewide speed limits. Prior to estimating production rates all haulage routes for each source-to-destination were delineated and a suite of approximately 600 haulage routes were simulated to estimate travel load time, return time, truck bunching delay, and truck wait-to-load based on various loading equipment, hauling equipment, and fleet size.

| 13.8.3 | Drill and Blast | |
Drilling and blasting requirements were estimated based on the following four general types of blasting: ore blasting, waste blasting, highwall pre-splitting, and road development as shown in Table 13-5. Pre-splitting is a controlled blasting technique to create shear planes along the pit highwall to promote pit highwall stability and maintain pit design compliance during production mining. A commercial explosive and blasting systems provider is planned to be contracted to provide and manage ammonium nitrate-fuel oil mixtures (ANFO), emulsion, and blasting accessories. The explosives contractor will also provide and manage the explosive plant and mixing equipment. Scheduled blasthole count by year is shown on Figure 13-20.

| 13.8.4 | Maintenance and Auxiliary Equipment | |
The maintenance and auxiliary equipment were selected based on production fleet size, development fleet size, open pit geometries, and the number of concurrent projects, pits, and DRSFs in operation. A list of maintenance and auxiliary equipment is provided in Table 13-2.
| 13.8.5 | Mine Sequence Drawings | |
The Project terrain comprises steep-walled valleys and, as a result, initial haul road access to the upper benches of the open pits will require significant effort to pioneer roads and develop initial mining benches. Construction of these roads is planned prior to production mining. Designs of the initial access roads and other necessary external haul roads are shown on the time sequence plans presented on Figure 13-21 to Figure 13-26, inclusively.

| 13.9 | Mine Consumables Estimate | |
The mine consumables estimate incorporates the mine production schedule, drill and blast schedule, and equipment consumable rates assumptions to generate the mine consumables schedule used in the operating cost estimate. All mine consumable rates are based on equipment manufacturer values and actual mining data. Consumables for the loading, hauling, auxiliary, and support equipment primarily consist of diesel fuel, lube, tires, maintenance parts, and ground engaging tools. Additional consumables for drilling include drill steel, drill bits, hammers, bushings, and chucks. Blasting consumables were estimated separately based on pattern type and include ANFO, emulsion, stemming, detonation chord, boosters, detonators, and air deck plugs. The mine consumables schedule was developed using first principal calculations based on equipment engine hours and blast pattern designs for each period throughout the mine life. A summary of principle mine equipment consumables is shown on Figure 13-27.

| 13.10 | Mine Maintenance Estimate | |
The mine maintenance estimate consists of estimating equipment preventive maintenance schedules, major rebuild schedules, equipment parts life and cost estimates, and equipment mechanical availability to generate mine maintenance staffing requirements, equipment mechanical availability estimates, and operating costs. The basis for estimating mine equipment maintenance requirements was manufacturer estimates, actual mine data, and maintenance cost surveys. The maintenance schedule was generated for each individual equipment unit for the life of the equipment based on each units cumulative engine hours and unscheduled downtime assumptions as a function of each units progressive time in-service.

| 13.12.2 | Mining Operating Cost Estimate | |
Mine equipment operating costs were developed using first principles based on vendor-provided hourly operating cost estimates and recent operating mine equipment survey data. Each equipment unit was scheduled on a monthly period through the end of year 2 and quarterly after.
Once all time categories were estimated for each equipment unit, operating costs were calculated for each schedule period including fuel, maintenance parts, lube, tire replacement, ground engaging tool replacement, operator labor, and maintenance labor. If operating time for a fleet was not sufficient to accomplish the work required in the mine production schedule, additional units were added. A summary of major operating costs calculated by category is shown on Figure 13-30. Additional mine operating cost details are provided in Section 18 of this Report.
The average mining cost for the three open pits is $3.12 per short ton mined (Figure 13-31).

**14****Processing and Recovery Methods**
Material updates to the processing plant and overall recovery process since the issuance of the 2022 TRS include design enhancements to the crushing circuit, the addition of a regrind mill to improve particle liberation, an updated design of the antimony cleaner flotation circuit to optimize metallurgical performance, and a redesign of the air and oxygen delivery systems. The design of the Projects processing facility remains in active development and will continue to be refined as detailed engineering progresses. Updates may be required to reflect new technical specifications, optimization studies, and outcomes from ongoing procurement and contracting activities.
The Project process plant has been designed to process both sulfide and oxide mineralized material from three deposits (Hangar Flats, Yellow Pine, and West End) as well as Historical Tailings from former milling operations. The design of the processing facility was developed based on the laboratory testing, summarized in Section 10, to treat 1,021 short tons per hour (stph) (excluding historical tailings) through crushing, grinding, flotation, concentrate oxidation, leaching by cyanidation, carbon handling and refining, oxide leaching, gold recovery, and tailings processing operations with a design availability of 90%.
Run-of-mine (ROM) materials from the three pits and historical tailings have characteristics that require several process variations. A simplified process flow diagram is shown in Figure 14-1. Process variations are as follows:
| | Sulfide ROM with high antimony concentrations is crushed, ground, and treated in an antimony flotation circuit before sulfide flotation and pressure oxidation (POX) to release refractory gold for cyanide leaching and gold recovery. | |
| | Sulfide ROM with low antimony concentrations is sent directly from grinding to sulfide flotation, POX, leaching, and gold recovery. | |
| | Oxidized ROM is sent from crushing and grinding directly to a whole-ore cyanide leaching and gold recovery circuit, which is scheduled to be constructed when such ROM is anticipated in the mine plan. | |
| | Mixed sulfide and oxide (transition) ROM is handled as low-antimony sulfide ROM except that the flotation tailings are cyanide leached with the same circuit used for oxide material. | |
| 14.1 | Process Description | |
The gold-bearing sulfide concentrate of pyrite and arsenopyrite is processed using pressure oxidation to break down the sulfide crystalline structure to liberate gold and silver to be leached and recovered to dor bars containing gold and silver. Small quantities of elemental mercury are collected in flasks to prevent its potential release into the environment. The design introduces Historical Tailings into the ball mill during the first 3 to 4 years of operation. Tailings from the operation are deposited in a geomembrane-lined tailings storage facility (TSF). A simplified process flow diagram is shown in Figure 14-1 and a list of major equipment, including the estimated connected power requirements, is shown in Table 14-1.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The process operations are described as follows:
| | Crushing Circuit ROM material would be dumped directly into the primary crusher feed hopper or onto ROM stockpiles and the primary crusher discharge is delivered to the coarse ore stockpile. The coarse ore stockpile provides 12-hour live capacity. The crushing circuit design is based on a 24-hour per day, 365-day year operation at an average utilization of 75% yielding an instantaneous design throughput of 1,225 stph. | |
| | Grinding Circuit The grinding circuit incorporates a single semi-autogenous (SAG) mill, single ball mill design with an average utilization of 90%, yielding an instantaneous design throughput of 1,021 stph. When Historical Tailings are processed during early years of the operation, the slurry from the tailings repulping plant would also flow into the cyclone underflow tub. Cyclone underflow flows by gravity to the ball mill. The cyclone overflow, at 35% solids with a target size of 80% passing (P80) 85 microns, is screened to remove tramp oversize and flows through a sampler and on to the antimony or gold rougher flotation circuit, depending on the antimony concentration of the material. | |
| | Flotation Circuit (Antimony and Gold) The flotation circuit consists of up to two sequential flotation stages to produce two different concentrates; the first stage of the circuit was designed to produce an antimony concentrate when the antimony grade is high enough, or bypassed if not, and the second stage is designed to produce a gold-rich sulfide concentrate. The antimony flotation circuit includes a regind mill for size reduction. The antimony concentrate will be packaged and sold. The gold-rich sulfide concentrate will be stored in three agitated surge tanks. | |
| | Pressure Oxidation Circuit Sulfide concentrate from the surge tanks is pumped to the autoclave feed tank. The autoclave is designed to provide 75 minutes of retention time at 220 Celsius (428 Fahrenheit) to oxidize the sulfides and liberate the precious metals. Autoclave discharge would be processed through flash vessels and gas discharge would be condensed and the remaining gas cleaned through a scrubber. | |
| | Oxygen Plant An oxygen plant producing 670 stpd of gas at 95% oxygen and a gauge pressure of 40 bars is planned. The oxygen plant equipment is planned to be purchased from a vendor including installation supervision. | |
| | Lime Plant Limestone quarried from the West End pit is hauled to an area south of the primary crusher pad. The material is crushed and screened to feed the limestone grinding mill. Ground limestone slurry and milk of lime are used to control acid in the autoclave, neutralize solutions and slurries coming out of the POX process, and control pH for leaching. | |
| | Oxidized Sulfide Processing After pressure oxidation, slurry discharge from the flash vessels is neutralized and cooled prior to leaching. The slurry is leached in cyanide solution, followed by an eight-stage, pump-cell carbon-in-pulp (CIP) circuit for precious metal recovery from this high-grade stream. The sulfide CIP tailings are detoxified and discharged to the flotation tailings thickener. Alternatively, the sulfide leach tailings are combined with flotation tailings when the latter undergoes cyanide leaching, as described below. | |
| | Oxide CIP and Tailings Detoxification A future oxide leach circuit is included in the design of the process plant to be running in Year 7 of mill operations. This circuit is designed to recover gold from non-refractory material in the | |

flotation tailings when the mill is processing transition ore from the West End deposit. This circuit also directly processes oxide material from the West End deposit as a whole-ore leach processwithout undergoing flotation.
| | Carbon Handling Loaded carbon from the CIP circuits is processed through a conventional carbon handling circuit, pumping eluant from the strip solution tank through heat exchangers to the bottom of the elution vessel at 45 psig and 293F and a flow rate of 2 bed volumes per hour. | |
| | Gold Room Precious metals are recovered from the strip solution by electrowinning, mercury retort, and a gold furnace that produces dor bars as a saleable product. | |
| | Tailings Neutralized and thickened tailings are pumped from the process plant to the TSF in an HDPE-lined carbon steel pipe. Water produced by the settling of the tailings solids is reclaimed with barge-mounted pumps and returned to the process water storage tank. | |
| | Process Control Systems The process plant design includes an integrated process control system. | |
The two finished products from the Stibnite Gold Project ore processing facility will be: gold/silver bars, known as dor; and antimony-silver concentrate.

| 14.2 | Water Systems | |
Two types of water systems are required for the Project process plant: fresh water and process water. Fresh water for the Project would be supplied from multiple sources including wells, contact water ponds, and a raw water intake from the EFSFSR at the south tunnel portal.
Groundwater wells located within the Meadow Creek valley alluvial deposits may contain elevated concentrations of metals and are considered to be the equivalent of contact water. Contact water includes seepage from storage piles and runoff from mine-impacted areas. Contact water from various sources would be pumped to the freshwater tank, which also serves as the firewater tank. Fresh water in the tank would be distributed to and used for:
| | the freshwater distribution system; | |
| | process water makeup; | |
| | the firewater pipeline loop; | |
| | the gland seal water tank and pumped by horizontal centrifugal pumps to be used as seal water for mechanical equipment; | |
| | the mine water trucks to be used in road dust control; and | |
| | the process uses points (e.g., crusher dust suppression, reagent mixing, etc.). | |
Process water would be reclaimed from several locations and returned to the process water tank. Overflow from the tailings thickener, water reclaimed from the TSF, contact and stormwater ponds would also be pumped to the process water tank.

| 14.3 | Reagents | |
Reagents required for various aspects of the Project process are housed in two primary areas. Reagent Building 1 is located next to the flotation building and contains reagents primarily used in flotation. Reagent Building 2 is located on the south side of the plant area and contains reagents associated with gold recovery. A third reagent area has been added to produce limestone slurry and milk of lime for neutralization for the process.
| 14.3.1 | Limestone and Lime | |
Limestone from the Middle Marble formation will be mined from the West End pit, trucked to a stockpile south of the primary crusher stockpile in 40-ton articulated haul trucks, and fed to a dedicated jaw crusher. Crusher discharge would be conveyed to a sizing screen from which oversize and undersize material would be produced. A coarse fraction of the crushed limestone is segregated as feed for a vertical lime kiln to provide the lime necessary to increase the pH of solutions and slurries as needed in the process. The fine fraction is fed to a grinding mill to make a limestone slurry for the autoclave feed and neutralization circuits.
| 14.3.2 | Process Reagent Mixing and Storage | |
Reagents requiring handling, mixing, and distribution systems are summarized in Table 14-2. The table also includes estimated reagent consumption rates for full-scale plant operation, which have been estimated based on metallurgical testing results. The dry reagents would be stored under cover, then mixed in reagent tanks and transferred to distribution tanks for process use.

| 14.4 | Process Air Systems | |
Dedicated blowers will provide air to the gold and antimony flotation cell banks. The blowers in the antimony and gold flotation area provide the air needed to create the tiny bubbles that will carry the sulfide particles to the froth collection lip of the cell.
Dedicated air compressors, air dryers and air receiver systems will be installed at the primary crushing and autoclave areas. Plant air compressors will provide instrument air required to support the grinding, flotation, leaching, gold room, and reagent areas. Air dryers remove the moisture in the instrument air, and local plant air and instrument air receivers are provided.
| 14.5 | Oxygen Plant | |
An air separation unit (ASU) will be provided to separate atmospheric air into its primary components to produce high-purity oxygen for use in the POX area and for cyanide leach and detox. The oxygen plant will include provisions for liquid oxygen storage and vaporization to provide gaseous oxygen as a backup to the air separation unit.
| 14.6 | Process Control Systems | |
The Project process plant design includes an integrated process control system consisting of three tiers of control and monitoring systems. A conceptual description of the control architecture is provided below, followed by a conceptual control philosophy that depicts the level of automation and the principles that guide decisions concerning instrumentation and control design in the next phase of this Project.
Process control for the process plant would be accomplished by a multi-tiered monitoring, control, and recording system using an Ethernet backbone. The fiber optic network would be arranged in dual self-healing ring configuration for redundant peer-to-peer communications and control. The redundant fiber optic communication modules protect the integrity of the Ethernet network by maintaining network communications, even with a failure of a fiber path. The functions of the network include data collection and control on a single high-speed network, with tie-in to the plant management system. The devices on the network include servers, workstations, switches, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
The process plant would incorporate modern, dependable and proven instrumentation and control systems. The monitoring and control systems would support the operation of the plant under the following parameters. The plant would operate on a two 12-hour shift per day basis. Planned maintenance shutdowns would take place on a regular basis. The plant would have an overall operating availability 90%, with lower availabilities for the crusher (75%). There are no holiday and/or other planned work stoppages during the calendar year. The maintenance of the monitoring and control systems would be performed in accordance and support of this operating and maintenance schedule.
The mill building control room would serve as the center for communications, fire systems monitoring and emergencies in general. The control room would be manned on a 24-hour-a-day basis. A base station radio would be assigned to the control room as well as an outside telephone line. The control room would also have the ability to communicate

on all other site group frequencies. The control room operator would also have access to the company computer network and e-mail system.
Real-time observation of strategic points along the operation would be by a TV camera system with monitors in the control room. PLC systems would be used for controlling the plant equipment. Proper graphic displays would be developed for the PLC systems. The control room would serve as the center of all control and recording of key process variables, outputs, functions and plant stoppages.
Safety systems would include, but are not limited to the following:
| | The use of start-up warnings horns, sirens or some other means would be used throughout the property. | |
| | Applicable interlocks would be used to protect people and equipment. | |
| | All fire protection systems and fire detection systems would be monitored from the mill control room. | |
| | Interlocks and/or other safety-related protection would either be hard-wired or in control logic, depending upon which offers the greatest level of assured safety. | |
| 14.7 | Projected Metallurgical Recoveries | |
The comparison of recovery and payable metal between 2021 FS and this TRS is summarized in Table 14-3. The Antimony metal produced in this TRS production plan is lower compared with the 2021 FS due to revised recovery models that align better with the bench scale test work data.

| 15.1 | Project Site Access | |
The Project site is currently accessed by the Stibnite Road, National Forest (NF-412), from the village of Yellow Pine, with three alternative routes up to that point. To address a number of shortcomings related to these routes, alternative access via the Burntlog Route was selected over several other possible alternatives because it provides safer year-round access for mining operations, reducing the proximity of roads to major fish-bearing streams, and this route respects the advice and privacy of community members close to the Project location. The route originates from the intersection of Highway 55 and Warm Lake Road and would be approximately 71 miles long. The route consists of 34 miles of existing highway (Warm Lake Road), 23 miles of upgraded road, and 14 miles of new road. The 37 miles of new and upgraded road would have a design speed of 20 mph, max 10% grade, a 21-foot width and intermediate-sized tractor-trailer loading criteria. A maintenance facility would be constructed along the route, as shown on Figure 15-2.
Perpetua Resources will provide buses and vans as the primary means of employee and contractor transportation to the Project site, reducing Project-related traffic along the access roads to the Project site, thereby reducing risks to the safety of workers, as well as minimizing the environmental impacts associated with vehicle traffic (particularly dust generation and sediment runoff, and also greenhouse gas and particulate emissions from vehicle use).
A through-site access route will replace the current access through the Project site on Stibnite Road during mine operations. During construction of the Project, a new 16-foot-wide gravel road would be constructed to provide access from Stibnite Road to Thunder Mountain Road through the mine site. A small segment of the road would be constructed on a widened bench within the Yellow Pine pit. South of the Yellow Pine pit, this road would parallel a new mine haul road, following the route of a former mine haul road west of the EFSFSR.
Valley County currently grooms for over-snow vehicle (OSV) use between Warm Lake and Wapiti Meadows (approximately 17miles) along Warm Lake and Johnson Creek Roads. During construction and operations, Perpetua Resources would plow Warm Lake Road between Warm Lake and Landmark which requires an alternative route for OSV users. During construction, Johnson Creek Road will be plowed during the winter and an OSV route will be established parallel to the road to provide access to the Landmark area.
Primary access to and from the Project (via Warm Lake Road) originates along State Highway 55 (SH-55), a major north-south transportation corridor connecting southern Idaho to northern Idaho. A traffic impact study commissioned by Perpetua Resources evaluated five intersections along this corridor and recommended improvements to three of the intersections to maintain an adequate level of service on the state transportation network. Two of the intersections are located in McCall, Idaho and the third is located at the intersection of Warm Lake Road and SH-55 near Cascade, Idaho. Proposed traffic improvements would improve WB-67 semi-truck turning movements and include the addition of dedicated turn lanes, acceleration/deceleration lanes, and striping modifications.

| 15.2 | Logistics Facility | |
The offsite administrative offices, transportation hub, and warehousing needed for the Project, referred to as Stibnite Gold Logistics Facility (SGLF), will be located within Valley County, with easy access to State Highway 55 (Figure 15-2). This facility will be located near the town of Cascade to reduce traffic to and from the Project site and to reduce housing requirements at the Project site. Perpetua Resources has acquired property along Warm Lake Road for the SGLF. Operating supplies for the mine will be staged and consolidated at the SGLF to reduce traffic to the site. The southern portion of the facility includes parking for vehicles of construction and operations workers who will be bused to the Project site. A new substation will be constructed in the northern area of the Project site as well as a laydown yard for equipment and material staging. An area on the east side of the facility is reserved for potential future construction of a core storage facility.
The administration building includes offices for managers, safety and environmental services, human resources, purchasing, and accounting personnel, as well as conference rooms, a break room, and restrooms. Network servers and the communications link for the mine would also be located at this complex as well as the offsite repository for physical and electronic records for mine operations.
The training facility includes a reception and waiting room, offices, conference rooms, a training room and restrooms. The training facility will be utilized to onboard personnel prior to mobilization to the Project site with the aim to reduce housing requirements and traffic at the Project site.
The SGLF hazardous storage facility will be utilized as a short-term collection, sorting and storage prior to shipping hazardous materials and waste off-site. The SGLF design also includes a warehouse which will be utilized to store parts and supplies and includes a parking area for trucks to check-in and assemble loads prior to traveling to the Project site. A truck scale is planned to verify loads going into and out of the warehouse area, as well as a laydown area for temporary outdoor storage.
| 15.3 | Burntlog Maintenance Facility | |
The Burntlog Maintenance Facility would be located on NFS land 4.4 miles east of the intersection of Warm Lake and Johnson Creek Roads and would be accessed via the Burntlog Route (Figure 15-2). The maintenance facility would be located within the footprint of a borrow source established for construction of the Burntlog Route. The facility would include three buildings: a 7,500-square foot maintenance building, a 7,100-square foot aggregates storage building, a 4,300-square foot equipment shelter, and an 825-square foot sleeping quarters; and a doublecontained fuel storage area housing three 2,500-gallon fuel tanks for on-road diesel, off-road diesel, and unleaded gasoline. A 1,000-gallon used oil tank would be located inside the maintenance facility and a 1,000-gallon propane tank would be located at the facility for heating.

| 15.4 | Power Supply and Communications | |
| 15.4.1 | Power Supply | |
Grid power was selected as the preferred primary power supply for the Project based on its low operating cost, low unit prices, and the existing clean energy portfolio of Idaho Power Company (IPCo). The existing grid network would need to be upgraded to provide the power necessary to support the 65-megawatt (MW), 72MVA load.
The upgrades required to integrate the Project load into the IPCo network include an increased 230/138 kV transformer capacity; approximately 41.3 miles of 69 kV lines upgraded to 138 kV; approximately 21.0 miles of 12.5 kV line upgraded to 138 kV line; and approximately 9.2 miles of new 138 kV line. Measures to increase the voltages on the IPCo system include new or upgraded 138 kV substations at McCall, Lake Fork, Cascade, Scott Valley, Warm Lake, Thunderbolt Drop, Johnson Creek, and Stibnite. IPCo would need to resupply small consumers between the Johnson Creek substation and users to the south via an underground 12.5kV replacement line. Two route modifications were identified during public outreach and were incorporated into the design. The key reasons for the modifications were to avoid wetland disturbance and impacts to private property.
The 138-kV line would be routed to the Project sites main electrical substation where transformers would step the voltage down to the distribution voltage of 34.5 kV. The main substations will be redundant dual 138 to 34.5kV transformers to prevent loss of power due to failure.
Power distribution from the Main Substation to various Project facilities would be at 34.5 kV. Power distribution to the primary crusher, truck shop, mine pits, TSF, worker housing facility, and within the process plant is designed to be mostly overhead with specific areas being underground.
Diesel generators distributing at 34.5 kV are planned for use as backup/emergency power during the operations phase of the Project. These generators will be connected to the main plant switchgear located adjacent to the substation; generators will also be installed at the Contact Water Treatment Plant (CWTP) and Worker Housing Facility (WHF) providing operational power during the Project construction phase and emergency power once utility power is energized. The sanitary wastewater treatment plant (SWWTP), drinking water treatment plant (DWTP), fire systems, and camp will all be supplied from the WHF generation
| 15.4.2 | Communications | |
Perpetua Resources existing microwave relay was designed and constructed to be scalable to accommodate potential future increases in communication requirements. To support construction communication, Perpetua Resources would run fiber optic cable to our Donnelly office from a port on State Highway 55. From there, the existing microwave point-to-point system from Donnelly to Snowbank and then Snowbank to Cinnabar would be upgraded to support internet speeds up to 1.4 Gbps utilizing an 11 GHz band. This microwave infrastructure will provide redundant communications during operations. Perpetua Resources primary communication infrastructure during operations would include fiber optics installed on Idaho Powers transmission line between Cascade and Stibnite.

Perpetua Resources would partner with a local telecommunications company to provide fiber internet service to a demarcation point at the Cascade Switching Station. The fiber optic cable would be deployed on the transmission line in the shield position.
The communication facilities would also need to be expanded at the mine site and along the Burntlog Route to facilitate twoway rapid communication between equipment operators and ground personnel and to allow broadcasting of emergency messages. The twoway radio system would be supported by a series of repeaters placed on public and private land. A series of very high frequency (VHF) radio repeaters would be placed along the Burntlog Route as needed. The repeaters would be placed near the existing Meadow Creek Lookout and Thunderbolt Lookout communication sites, the new Burntlog Road Maintenance Facility, and on private parcels at the mine site as needed. The 10-foot towers on 3-foot by 3-foot concrete pads would be supported by solar panels, support hardware, and a backup battery case.
| 15.5 | Worker Accommodations | |
Perpetua Resources has an existing on-site worker housing facility with a capacity for approximately 60 workers. A temporary housing facility will be installed to accommodate up to 140 people for early works construction activities at the Project site.
Since the Project is in a remote area of Idaho, accommodation at the Project site will be required for construction and operations personnel. The location selected for the worker accommodation is approximately 1 miles southeast of the confluence of the EFSFSR and Meadow Creek, just off the existing Thunder Mountain Road.
The new accommodations will house the estimated 1,052-person construction workforce. The existing exploration housing facility will be decommissioned and demobilized once the new worker accommodations are built and commissioned. A construction contract with ATCO was executed in 2025 for the development and construction of the permanent worker housing facility.
The operations worker housing facility would be developed by demobilizing approximately half of the beds at the construction worker housing facility and upgrading the remaining units of the construction housing facility. Approximately 675 on-site employees are needed for the operation based on the overtime scheme associated with the majority of employees working a modified 14on, 14off schedule, with a portion following an 8 on, 6 off work cycle. The bed count associated with this position assessment is approximately 485. As a result, the camp is designed to be a 550-person site residential facility, leaving approximately 65 beds for visitors and/or temporary workers of various types.
| 15.6 | Onsite Infrastructure | |
Infrastructure in the plant area includes a network of roads, power distribution, surface water diversions, and water pipelines. The contributing processes of oxygen supply, limestone crushing, lime calcining, truck servicing, and water treatment for discharge are also included as infrastructure. The roads that provide access to plant buildings and facilities connect to the access road before it reaches the haul road, facilitating deliveries of equipment, materials, and supplies without conflict with mine traffic. The main roads parallel the EFSFSR and have gentle grades, contributing to safety, even in winter months. Power distribution through most of the Project site is on overhead powerlines or in
**Page 15-**7

cable trays. Powerlines enter the Project site from the west side into the Main Substation and power is distributed to the Oxygen Plant substation and throughout the process area. Overhead power lines distribute power to the north and south of the plant area for water management, truck maintenance, fish tunnel supply, and water reclamation from the TSF. Water from supply wells in the Meadow Creek valley is directed to a collection tank and pumped to the fresh/fire water tank. The pipelines to and from the fresh/fire water tank, as well as yard piping in the plant area, are buried to protect the lines from freezing.
Stormwater and snowmelt are diverted by berms and channels that pass through the process area to natural drainages (Figure 15-6). Contact water from the plant site is collected by berms and ditches that direct it to lined contact water ponds. Collected contact water is used as process makeup water after settling to reduce suspended solids.
| 15.6.1 | Oxygen Supply | |
A cryogenic air separation unit (ASU) is planned to provide the supply of oxygen required in the pressure oxidation process (Figure 15-3). The oxygen plant equipment is planned to be purchased from a vendor including installation supervision. Oxygen would be piped directly from the oxygen plant to the autoclave building. The oxygen plant would have its own electrical power substation adjacent to the plant.
| 15.6.2 | Limestone and Lime | |
A limestone and lime area were added to the layout defined in the 2022 TRS because of changes in the neutralization strategy. Limestone quarried from the north end of the West End pit would be hauled to a pad south of the primary crusher pad (Figure 15-3). Limestone would be crushed and screened to feed the lime kiln and the limestone grinding mill. The large-sized fraction of the crushed limestone is conveyed to the Lime Kiln to make lime for pH conditioning. The smaller fraction is conveyed to a limestone grinding area of the mill building to make a limestone slurry for acid neutralization, both within and after the autoclave.

| 15.6.3 | Water Treatment Plant | |
Contact water and groundwater pumped from dewatering wells will be used to augment the operations water supply demands. Periodically during mine life, especially in Years 4 through 7, these sources are projected to produce more water than is required to satisfy operational demands. A water treatment plant (WTP) using metals precipitation, biological treatment, and filtration technology is planned to treat up to 2,000 gpm of excess water and discharge it to permitted outfalls on the perennial streams flowing through the site (Figure 15-6). A closure process water treatment plant, for treating TSF water, will be located on private land on the TSF buttress after the buttress has been covered and reclaimed.
| 15.6.4 | Truck Shop Area | |
A truck servicing area is located along the main haul road near the Hangar Flats pit (Figure 15-4). The main truck shop complex includes a parts warehouse, repair shop, truck wash, and tire shop. The mine operations and change house (mine dry) are in an adjacent building. Contact water ponds are present to collect stormwater runoff at the north and south ends of the area. A containment pond for draining the tailings line is located at the far south end of the area adjacent to booster tanks for contact and dewatering water.
Fuel for the operation consists of diesel, gasoline, and propane. Truck and light vehicle fuel is stored and dispensed from tanks at the north end of the truck shop area (Figure 15-4). Propane is stored in a tank north of the lime kiln, which is its primary consumer along with the autoclave steam boilers.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 15.7 | Water Management | |
Perpetua Resources will develop a water management system that protects or improves water quality in Project-area streams and provides water for ore processing, fire protection, exploration activities, surface mining (dust control), and potable water needs.
The key water management consideration for the Project site is the large amount of snowmelt runoff during the months of April through June, making spring melt the critical time for water management, storage, and treatment. In general, surface water that comes in contact with materials that have the potential to introduce mining- and process-related contaminants (contact water) is kept separate from surface water that originates from undisturbed, uncontaminated ground (non-contact water). This is accomplished by diverting clean water around mine facilities and collecting and reusing, evaporating, or treating and discharging contact water.
Meteoric and tailings consolidation water will be reclaimed from the TSF and would supply the majority of the water needed for ore processing. Additional water needs would be supplied from: pit dewatering, reuse of stored contact water, groundwater wells, and a surface intake near the upstream portal of the EFSFSR diversion tunnel.
Active dewatering will be required at the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats pits, generally from alluvium and fractured bedrock wells, with total pumping ranging from zero to approximately 2,100 gpm over the life of mine. Excess dewatering water not used for ore processing would be treated, if required, and discharged to a surface outfall.
Major water diversions include construction of a tunnel and fishway to divert the EFSFSR and provide fish passage around the Yellow Pine pit, and surface diversions of Meadow Creek at the TSF, TSF Buttress, and Hangar Flats pit. Other smaller scale diversions are provided to intercept hillslope runoff and minor tributaries at the TSF, TSF Buttress, Fiddle GMS, Bradley Tailings reprocessing operation, open pits, and process plant area.
Contact water from the pits, stockpiles, TSF buttress, truck shop, ore processing facilities, and legacy materials exposed during construction would be collected in lined ponds or in-pit sumps for later use in ore processing, dust control, or treatment for discharge. Water management features would be phased in and out as mining progresses and the amount of surface area generating contact water increases as pits, stockpiles, and DRSFs expand and are removed as backfilling and reclamation is completed. Aggregate contact water pond storage varies according to mine phase and is roughly 300 to 400 ac-ft over the mine life (excluding storage in pits).
Four water types will require treatment over the life of the Project: contact water, including dewatering water, from mine facilities (construction through closure); process water from the TSF (closure); potable water; and sanitary wastewater (construction through early closure). Early in construction a modular, mobile, two-stage metal precipitation and clarification system, followed by filtration, with reverse osmosis polishing as required, is planned while the permanent system is under construction. The permanent system will employ two-stage precipitation, clarification, and biological treatment followed by filtration. During construction, the brine and sludge would be temporarily stored onsite then transported offsite for disposal as treatment needs require. During operations, sludge from the clarifiers and brine would be piped to the tailings thickener and transported for storage in the TSF along with project tailings. During operations, treating and releasing contact water is generally limited to periods when a significant amount of dewatering water is being produced, or seasonally in wet years. During construction and at closure, absent a water demand for ore processing, less contact water can be consumed and proportionally more must
**Page 15-**12
**March 31, 2026**
**Critical Resource. Responsible Mining. Sustainable Approach.**
| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
be disposed of through evaporation or treatment and discharge. The variability in water excess is met with a phased water treatment approach, with approximately 300 gpm of treatment capacity during construction, ramping up to 2,000 gpm during the peak of dewatering excess, and returning to 750 gpm through closure. Throughout the mine life, treatment would be augmented by mechanical evaporation when seasonal water storage and weather allow. Contact water volumes decline rapidly at closure as facilities are covered and reclaimed, but post-closure treatment is anticipated for the TSF until approximately 25 years after tailings deposition ceases when tailing consolidation water is predicted to be minimal.
| 15.8 | Tailings Management | |
The Project plans to produce approximately 120 million short tons of tailings solids (approximately 115 Mt of ground ore plus approximately 5 Mt of lime, ground limestone, and gypsum resulting from the neutralization of oxidized sulfides) over a 14.25-year mill life. The tailings would contain trace amounts of cyanide and metals (including arsenic and antimony). A fully lined containment facility utilizing a composite liner with a leak collection/recovery system is proposed to contain the tailings and process water within the impoundment. This option is optimal to reduce the project footprint, provide for a single containment facility for monitoring and closure, and allow for the utilization of development rock and legacy material to construct and buttress the TSF. The TSF impoundment, embankment, and associated water diversions would occupy approximately 423 acres at final buildout. The TSF location relative to other project features is shown on Figure 15-1.
| 15.8.1 | TSF Design Criteria | |
The TSF would consist of a rockfill embankment, a fully-lined impoundment with a leak collection/recovery system, and appurtenant water management features including a surface diversion of Meadow Creek and its tributaries around the facility. The TSF Buttress located immediately downstream of, and abutting against, the TSF embankment would substantially enhance embankment stability. Historical spent heap leach ore would be reused in TSF construction in locations isolated from interaction with water, but the majority of the rockfill would be development rock sourced from the open pits. Design criteria were established based on the facility size and risk using applicable dam safety and water quality regulations and industry best practice for the TSF embankment on a standalone basis; the addition of the buttress substantially increases the safety factor for the design. Table 15-1 lists the design criteria for the TSF.

The TSF embankment would be constructed of compacted mine development rock and overburden, repurposed spent heap leach ore, and native borrow sources within the impoundment footprint. Rockfill would be placed in zones of successively more stringent lift height and compaction criteria approaching the liner (Figure 15-5), with the final liner bedding (directly under the liner system) consisting of well-graded silt, sand, and gravel. The development rock TSF Buttress would be placed on the east side of the TSF embankment, providing additional short- and long-term geotechnical stability. Engineered slope preparation fill (Figure 15-6) would be placed against steep slopes within the impoundment to flatten and smooth slopes to facilitate liner placement. Slope preparation fill would consist of spent ore, alluvium, colluvium, previously-mined rock, till, or rock borrowed from within the limits of the TSF or open pits, depending on material availability, as the fills are expanded.
| 15.8.2 | TSF and Buttress Staging | |
The TSF would be expanded at intervals throughout the mine life to align with tailings storage and freeboard requirements, beginning with a starter embankment constructed to a crest elevation of approximately 6,850 ft (or approximately 240 ft above the existing ground surface). The final embankment height would be approximately 480ft at a crest elevation of 7,080 ft. Predicted fill rates and staging are based on tailings consolidation testing and modeling, the mine plan, and the site-wide water balance. Buttress staging is driven by the availability of development rock from the open pits; development rock will only be placed in the buttress when not needed for embankment construction.

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The impoundment and starter embankment would be constructed and fully lined to the elevation of the first stage during preproduction. The bulk of the embankment and buttress rockfill would be placed well in advance of the need for lined storage, with the embankment crest reaching its maximum elevation by end of the fifth year of production. Subsequent facility expansions would thus consist of placement of the finer, thinner lift-height material on the upstream embankment face; clearing and fill within the impoundment; liner bedding placement; and liner installation and drain extensions throughout the facility. Five total stages are envisioned, with a facility expansion planned every 3 years on average during operations as illustrated by the filling curve (Figure 15-7).

| 15.8.3 | TSF Liner and Drainage System | |
The TSF impoundment (including the upstream embankment face) would be composite-lined with geosynthetic materials to prevent seepage of process water or transport of tailings out of the facility. Throughout the Stage 1 impoundment and in areas of shallow groundwater (<100 ft per Idaho regulations), an additional leak collection and recovery system (LCRS) will be provided above the conventional composite liner, with the upper layer of the LCRS consisting of a 60-mil (1.5 mm) textured high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane primary liner, and the bottom layer consisting of 60-mil HDPE MicroDrain secondary liner, placed with drainage studs facing upwards to create a leak collection layer in between the primary and secondary geomembranes without the need for a geonet. A geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) will be placed underneath the geomembrane layers, providing a self-sealing leakage barrier should the geomembrane liner be torn or punctured, and improving contact between the liner system and the subgrade, both of which reduce leakage. As the facility is expanded past Stage 1, the LCRS will be installed in shallow groundwater areas, but replaced with a conventional composite liner (textured 60-mil HDPE over GCL) in other areas. A network of geosynthetic drains (overdrains) would be placed above portions of the geomembrane liner to reduce hydraulic head on the liner and excess pore pressure in the overlying tailings. The drains would report to a sump near the upstream embankment toe, and the water would be pumped out to the pool or reclaim system for reuse. A similar sump would be used to recover any water from the LCRS. The two systems are jointly referred to as the Overdrain-LCRS (OL) sump.
Where suitable soil exists (typically in valley bottoms), it would be scarified and re-compacted to prepare the liner subgrade, or a minimum of 12 inches of liner bedding fill would be placed. Steep, rocky hillsides (approximately 1/3 of the TSF footprint) would be covered with slope preparation fill to cover rock outcrops and flatten slopes sufficiently to allow liner placement.
Underdrains installed during site preparation would collect spring and seep flows beneath the TSF impoundment liner and embankment, reducing hydrostatic uplift on the liner system, and convey the collected water beneath the TSF embankment and buttress. The underdrains would be a series of parallel drains with branching laterals. Underdrain flows would be collected in a sump upstream of the discharge point, monitored for water quality, then discharged to surface water or pumped to the ore processing facility for use as makeup water.
Cyanide would be reduced in the process plant to levels protective of wildlife. An 8-foot high, chain-link fence surrounding the TSF is designed to keep wildlife such as deer and elk from entering the impoundment area to prevent either liner damage or wildlife drowning.
| 15.8.4 | Tailings Distribution and Water Management | |
Thickened tailings slurry would be pumped from the tailings thickener at the process plant to the crest of the embankment and then around the perimeter of the TSF in a distribution header. The tailings pipeline and pumping system would require sufficient head and operating flexibility to deliver tailings to the back of the TSF as the embankment increases in height over the 14.25-year operational life of the facility. Horizontal centrifugal pumps that increase in number as the embankment height increases would be used to pump the tailings from the thickener to the TSF. The initial requirement includes five operating pumps and five standby pumps.
**Page 15-**18
**March 31, 2026**
**Critical Resource. Responsible Mining. Sustainable Approach.**
| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Thickened tailings would be deposited in the TSF from a series of drop-pipes (spigots) originating from a 20 HDPE tailings distribution header along the facility perimeter bench. Subaerial tailings deposition would promote drying and consolidation of the tailings. Rotating the active deposition points would allow additional drying, and sequencing of deposition would allow gradual development of a tailings beach that slopes generally from west to east within the facility, mimicking the pre-Project valley drainage and simplifying facility closure. Development of a tailings beach around the perimeter would provide a measure of protection against floating ice damaging the liner system.
The tailings pipeline from the mill to the TSF would be HDPE-lined, 18-inch carbon steel pipe. Light vehicle roads and haul roads would connect the ore processing facility and the TSF. The tailings delivery and reclaim water return pipelines would parallel the roads (Figure 15-1) with secondary containment provided throughout the pipeline length. Secondary containment for pipelines would consist of a backfilled geomembrane-wrapped trench, pipe-in-pipe, or open geosynthetic-lined trench, depending on location. The pipeline corridor would drain to one of two locations a pipeline maintenance pond at the truck shop or the tailings thickener at the ore processing facility. A 12-inch to 18-inch (size variable according to elevation) HDPE reclaim water line would be co-located in the trench to provide secondary containment of process water being reclaimed from the TSF. In approximately Year4, a portion of the tailings pipeline would be rerouted to the southeast to accommodate the growth of the Hangar Flats open pit and associated reconfiguration of haul roads.
TSF water management facilities include diversions, underdrains, overdrains, reclaim system, and evaporators. The TSF would be operated as a zero-discharge facility meaning no water would be discharged to the surface water or groundwater except under unusual circumstances and in compliance with applicable laws, until closure when water treatment would be implemented. During operations, water collected in or falling on the surface of the TSF would drain to the supernatant pond on top of the tailings and be recycled along with tailings consolidation water for use in ore processing via barge-mounted pumps discharging to the reclaim pipeline. Clean water would be diverted around and under the facility in surface diversions and underdrains. Surface water diversion channels would serve to temporarily divert Meadow Creek and its tributaries around the TSF and TSF Buttress, while underdrains constructed in valley bottoms would collect springs and natural seeps and prevent accumulation of water under the liner system. Evaporators may be installed at the TSF and used to dispose of excess water as needed. The geocomposite overdrains would report to a sump near the upstream embankment toe, from where it would be pumped out and the water returned to the TSF water pool. Any water reporting to the LCRS would be collected in a similar sump adjacent to the overliner drain sump and sampled then pumped back to the TSF water pool. Table 15-2 summarizes the TSF design.

| 16 | Market Studies | |
The Stibnite Gold Project anticipates generation of two saleable products: dor bars and an antimony concentrate. The dor bars would contain gold and silver and would need to be shipped to a refinery to separate the precious metals from impurities and each other. The antimony concentrate consists predominantly of stibnite but also contains gold, silver, and impurities, so it must be shipped to a facility for smelting or refining to separate the valuable components.
| 16.1 | Dor Payabilities, Refining and Transportation Assumptions | |
The economic analysis completed for this Report assumed that gold production in the form of dor could be readily sold without deleterious element penalties. Typical gold dor payabilities, refining and transport charges are provided in Table 16-1.
**Table 16-1:****Dore Payables, Refining and Transportation Assumptions**
| Parameter | Gold in Dor | |
| Metal Payability in Dor | 99.5% | |
| Refining Charges | $1.00/oz Au | |
| Transportation Charges | $1.15/oz Au | |
| 16.2 | Antimony Concentrate | |
In December 2024, Perpetua Resources entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore antimony processing opportunities with an Idaho-based company. This resulted in the reduction of estimated transport costs to $74.60/wmt and an increase of antimony payability to 85%, which has been utilized in the economic analysis. Since then, another Idaho operator in the same area has announced plans to construct and operate a hydrometallurgical plant to process antimony-bearing ores and concentrates.
All remaining payabilities, refining and transport charges for the Project remain unchanged since the 2022 TRS.
Table 16-2 summarizes the antimony concentrate payables and transportation charge assumptions for this study.
**Table 16-2:****Antimony Concentrate Payables and Transportation Assumptions**

The metal prices selected for the four economic cases evaluated in the economic assessment are shown in Table 16-3. The basis for the selection of these metal prices is also provided in Table 16-3.
**Table 16-3:****Study Metal Prices**
| Case | Metal Prices | Basis | |
| | Gold ($/oz) | Silver ($/oz)1 | Antimony ($/lb)1 | | |
| Case A | $3,250 | $40.00 | $10.00 | Case corresponds to long-term average metal price forecasts as of December 31, 2025, and long-term average price forecasts for silver and antimony | |
| Case B | $4,000 | $40.00 | $10.00 | Case corresponds to 4-year consensus gold price forecasts as of December 31, 2025, and long-term average price forecasts for silver and antimony | |
| Case C | $4,500 | $40.00 | $10.00 | Case corresponds to 3-year consensus gold price forecasts as of December 31, 2025, and long-term average price forecasts for silver and antimony | |
| Case D | $5,000 | $40.00 | $10.00 | Case corresponds to recent spot gold pricing in Q1 2026, and long-term average price forecasts for silver and antimony | |
Notes:**1.**The company has elected to use flat antimony ($10/lb) and silver ($40/oz) prices in its analysis which reflect long-term consensus estimates.
The prices used in this study are consistent with accepted industry practices, analyst forecasts, and the range of prices being used for other project studies for gold and silver.
There is no guarantee that the gold, silver, and antimony prices used in the study cases would be realized at the time of production. Prices could vary higher or lower with a corresponding impact on Project economics.
| 16.4 | Contracts | |
There are no mining, concentrating, smelting, refining, transportation, handling, sales, hedging, forward sales contracts, or arrangements for the Project. This situation is typical of a project that is still several years away from production.

Key updates from 2022 include the Forest Services issuance of the EIS final Record of Decision and approval of the Plan of Operations, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issuance of a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit, IDEQs, issuance of the air quality construction and operating permit, IDEQs determination of the groundwater point of compliance, and IDWRs grant of water rights. Cyanide Permit Phase 1 was also approved by IDEQ during the spring of 2025. IDWR issued five Stream Channel Alteration Permits, and the Idaho Department of Lands approved the comprehensive reclamation plans. Also, the Forest Service, USACE, IDL, and IDWR issued various approvals for construction phase financial assurance. Additionally, the Yellow Pine Agreement and the Valley County Community Impact Benefit Agreement were executed.
The Stibnite District has been mined extensively for tungsten, antimony, mercury, gold, and silver since the early 1900s, which produced significant legacy environmental impacts. Cleanup efforts undertaken by federal and state agencies and private entities have partially mitigated some of those historical impacts, but significant legacy environmental impacts persist to this day. The development of the Project presents the opportunity of mitigating those historical impacts.
Perpetua Resources established an environment, social and governance (ESG) approach focused on a net-benefit goal. Perpetua Resources focused on several key restoration and mitigation principles. These principles included:
| | conduct activities in an environmentally responsible manner; | |
| | utilize previously disturbed areas; | |
| | improve fish passage and habitat; | |
| | remove, reprocess, or reuse legacy mine wastes to protect and improve water quality; | |
| | revegetate disturbed or burned areas to improve wildlife habitat and reduce sediment loads; and | |
| | restore or enhance wetlands and streams. | |
Perpetua Resources plans to provide restoration and mitigation projects that are both durable and additive with the intent of producing mitigation outcomes exceeding those which would have occurred in the absence of the Project.
Perpetua Resources plans for environmental restoration, compliance, permitting, and collaboration with local and community groups are adequate to support the responsible development of the Project in the opinion of the Qualified Person.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 17.1 | Environmental Studies | |
An extensive dataset demonstrating historical and existing conditions exists for the Project site, including data collected by contractors for the US Forest Service (USFS or Forest Service) and EPA, the US Geological Survey (USGS), prior mine operators, and Perpetua Resources and its contractors.
Assessments by several Perpetua Resources and federal agency contractors determined that there were several pre-existing, significant and moderate, recognized environmental conditions. Overall water quality in all drainages was impaired due to naturally occurring mineralization and impacts associated with historical mining.
Perpetua Resources environmental resource baseline data collection program was initiated in 2011, and baseline monitoring reports were submitted in 2017 to regulators. Certain studies are ongoing to provide monitoring data, and additional supplementary studies have been prepared per agency requests since 2017. Baseline data from all sources informed environmental modeling and Project design.
| 17.1.1 | Historical Environmental Studies | |
Historical environmental studies and effects analysis conducted for the Project site supported the preparation of Environmental Impact Statements for Superiors and Heclas legacy mining and heap-leaching operations for the West End and Homestake mines, respectively. These operations were permitted in the 1980s and included the subsequent expansion of West End mining activities in the 1990s.
An environmental site characterization was conducted at the Project site from 1998 through 2000 by URS for the USFS and the EPA (the URS Report; URS, 2000). Subsequent to the URS Report, Millennium Science and Engineering Inc. (MSE) conducted additional investigations and prepared various site-specific studies including an Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis (EE/CA) in 2003.
Although some portions of the Project site were placed on the Federal Facilities Docket on September 25, 1991, and are currently listed on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) List (No. ID9122307607), in 2001 the EPA, the Bureau of Environmental Health and Safety (BEHS), and the Division of Health, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare determined the risk to be too low for listing the Project site on the National Priorities List (NPL).
| 17.1.2 | Perpetua Resources Environmental Studies | |
In 2009 and 2010, Midas Gold and Vista US contracted MSE to conduct ASTM International (formerly American Society for Testing and Materials) Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (Site Assessments) to identify RECs in connection with the Property. These Site Assessments were intended to fulfill obligations for undertaking all appropriate inquiry as to site conditions to satisfy the bona fide prospective purchaser, contiguous property owner, and the innocent landowner affirmative defenses under CERCLA. The Site Assessments identified a number of recognized environmental conditions, but none were categorized as imminent threats to human health or the environment; however, the Site Assessments indicated that overall water quality in all drainages was impaired due to naturally occurring mineralization and impacts associated with historical mining.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
In 2011, Perpetua Resources initiated an environmental resource baseline data collection program to establish the existing environmental conditions, identify and quantify environmental risks and potential liabilities, monitor for potential impacts from onsite activities, and generate baseline reports for Project approval and permitting efforts. The environmental baseline work plans were approved by USFS subject matter experts for each of the resource categories, with input from representatives from additional state and federal agencies. Table 17-1 summarizes the nature, timeframe, and contractors responsible for environmental baseline studies. While baseline monitoring reports were initially submitted in 2017 in support of NEPA analysis, certain of the studies continue to provide monitoring data, and additional supplementary studies have also been prepared in connection with reviews from the agency interdisciplinary teams convened for the NEPA analysis. The Final EIS describes in detail studies performed to support the USFS Record of Decision and agency approval process for the SGP.
| 17.2 | Environmental Modelling | |
Perpetua Resources and its contractors developed predictive models for use in environmental evaluation and prefeasibility-level engineering studies. Environmental models include air emissions modeling, the Hydrologic Model and meteoric water balance, Stream and Pit Lake Network Temperature Model (SPLNT), Site-Wide Water Chemistry (SWWC), and Site-Wide Water Balance (SWWB). The modeling process involved the development of conceptual models, work plan approval by the regulatory agencies, development and calibration of existing conditions models, and development of predictive models for the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. The suite of models facilitated environmental analysis, evaluation of alternate design scenarios, and design trade-offs. Environmental modeling has been a key tool for advanced engineering and identification of Project modifications and appropriate mitigation measures to reduce cost and environmental impact. Key Project changes and mitigation measures include: contact water treatment; expanded use of low-permeability geosynthetic covers; mine plan changes to eliminate some facilities, reduce facility size, backfill pits, reduce the acreage of concurrent disturbance; and modifying water diversion designs to reduce summer stream temperatures.

| 17.3 | Mine Impacted Water Treatment | |
The seasonal water balance excess and predicted leaching of arsenic and antimony from mined materials lead to a need to dispose of water which may not meet discharge water quality standards absent treatment. Based on measured and predicted water quality and potentially applicable discharge water quality standards, dewatering water, seepage, and contact stormwater could require treatment before discharge during operations. In closure, once other facilities are reclaimed, TSF water would require treatment. Mechanical evaporation would be used along with active, and potentially passive, water treatment to manage excess water at site. Due to the need to remove arsenic and antimony, iron coprecipitation was selected as the primary technology for active treatment. Required water treatment capacity varies from construction through closure, according to the site water balance changes and storage capacity, peaking in the middle of operations at approximately 2,000 gpm when both Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine pits are being mined, declining to approximately 1,000 gpm later in operations as facilities are concurrently reclaimed, and continuing until after the TSF is covered to manage tailings consolidation water. Post-closure water treatment will continue until approximately Year 40 (approximately 25 years after the end of ore processing operations).
| 17.4 | Permitting | |
Project approval required completion of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to study and consider the probable environmental impacts of the proposed federal action before deciding on that action. For the Project to proceed, there are multiple federal actions required as described in the Final EIS (FEIS) for the Project, which is available at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/payette/projects/50516.
In October 2016, after many years of study, analysis, planning, and community and stakeholder engagement, Perpetua Resources prepared a comprehensive plan for the restoration and redevelopment of Stibnite, known as the PRO (Alternative 1 in the DEIS) and that plan was modified to form the ModPRO (Alternative 2 in the DEIS) in August of 2020. During the NEPA process, public and agency comments on the Modified Proposed Action (ModPRO), along with refinements to predictive modeling and the incorporation of additional environmental resource data, resulted in further revisions to the ModPRO. These refinements culminated in October 2021 with the development of the ModPRO2 mine plan of operations. The ModPRO2, identified as the 2021 Mine Management Plan (MMP) in the October 2022 Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS), which in turn was selected as the preferred alternative in the September 2024 FEIS. The USFS in its January 2025 final Record of Decision (ROD) approved the 2021 MMP, which in turn formed the basis of the Plan of Operations approved by the Forest Service in October 2025.
The 2021 MMP also forms the basis of other federal approvals of the Project. Before the Forest Service issued its Final ROD in January 2025, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) issued their Biological Opinions pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). And in May 2025, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued its Clean Water Act Section 404 permit and associated ROD.
In addition to federal permits, the Project also requires multiple state and local permits, which also are described in the FEIS. The FEIS was issued by the USFS in September 2024 along with the Draft ROD State and local permitting processes are completed or in progress and include, among others, water discharge (IPDES), air quality, cyanidation, groundwater, water rights, dam safety, mine closure and reclamation plans, building permits, sewer and water systems, among others. These permits are also generally grounded in the 2021 MMP.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The FEIS and RODs from USFS and USACE serve as an overarching procedural permitting requirement. Other primary federal and state authorizations or determinations are summarized below.
| 17.4.1 | Major State Authorizations, Licenses, and Permits | |
The key authorizations, licenses, and permits required by the State of Idaho are as follows:
| | IPDES permits are required from IDEQ for certain discharges to surface waters. As of December 31, 2025, the applications for both the IPDES individual industrial wastewater permit and IPES sanitary wastewater discharge permit remained pending. Perpetua Resources anticipates that both IPDES permits will be issued in H1 2026. | |
| | Air Quality Permit to Construct and Operate is required by IDEQ prior to construction and assesses the air pollutant emissions from stationary sources, determines the allowable impacts to air quality and prescribes measures and controls to reduce and/or mitigate impacts. IDEQ issued this permit to Perpetua Resources on June 17, 2022, and it is currently extended until June 17, 2026. Perpetua Resources anticipates requesting an extension through June 17, 2028. | |
| | A Cyanidation Permit is required by IDEQ and phase 1 of the permit was issued by IDEQ on March 31, 2025 for the TSF. A permit modification for the grinding and flotation phase was submitted in November 2025, a draft permit for this second phase has been published and a final permit is anticipated in 2026. A third and final phase and of the cyanidation permit modification will address the balance of the processing plant and is expected to be submitted during 2026. | |
| | The Idaho Ground Water Rule establishes minimum requirements for ground water protection through standards and a set of aquifer protection categories and determines the locations where these standards will be met. The IDEQ issued a determination of the points of compliance on August 25, 2023. | |
| | Water Rights As described in Section 4 of this Report, Perpetua Resources currently holds various water rights for domestic, commercial, industrial, and irrigation purposes. These were granted by IDWR in approvals issued in February 2024 and January 2025. | |
| | Stream Channel Alteration Permits were required from the IDWR for modification, alteration, or relocation of any stream channel within or below the mean high-water mark. By the end of 2025, IDWR had issued five alteration permits related to Stibnite Gold Project, with one remaining, which is expected to be issued in 2026. The permits cover both on-site and off-site activities. | |
| | Dam Safety permits must be obtained for dams greater than 10 ft high that impound a reservoir exceeding 50 acre-ft, including mine tailings impoundments greater than or equal to 30 ft high. The Dam Safety permit for the TSF starter dam was issued October 17, 2025. Other sediment and process water pond(s) may need permits, but final design optimization is still in process. Applications for those ponds will be submitted to IDWR in advance of pond construction. | |
| | A comprehensive Reclamation Plan has been approved by the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) and the USFS. Financial assurance in the amounts necessary to support construction phase activities and to reclaim those activities were posted in 2025 in accordance with approvals from USFS, IDL, USACE and IDWR. | |
| | Approval of a historic/cultural resources assessment by the State Historic Preservation Office is required because the Project is located within the Stibnite National Historic District. No designated historical buildings are present. | |

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
A key annual authorization by the Valley County Road Department is the Valley County Road Use Permit for summer and winter road maintenance. This permit addresses standard operating procedures for the County maintained road route to be used, snow removal, dust suppression, and seasonal load limits. As of the end of 2025, the arrangements remained under negotiation between Valley County and Perpetua Resources, with a goal of reaching an agreement in Q1 2026.
As the Project facilities lie outside incorporated towns, except for portions of the power line upgrades which are generally located on already-existing utility rights-of-way and certain laydown yard locations, there are minimal applicable local approvals below the County level.
| 17.4.3 | Challenges to Permits and Regulatory Approvals. | |
Legal challenges to the permits and other regulatory approvals are typical for mining projects in the United States. With respect to the Project, two lawsuits one filed by certain environmental advocacy groups and another filed by the Nez Perce Tribe were commenced in 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho challenging the validity of the Forest Services ROD for the SGP under NEPA and other federal laws and regulations. The lawsuits also contest the Biological Opinions issued by NMFS and USFWS under the ESA. These lawsuits remain pending. Also, certain environmental advocacy groups filed a petition in Idaho state court in 2025 contesting the air permit to construct and operate issued by IDEQ (and approved by the Idaho Board of Environmental Quality) for the Project. This lawsuit also remains pending. The challenged permits remain valid while the pending lawsuits proceed.
Idaho law also includes various procedures allowing administrative challenges to various permits issued by state agencies. Certain environmental advocacy groups have initiated an administrative challenge to IDEQs Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification, and that case remains pending as of December 31, 2025. Other state permits, such as the IPDES permit and others, also can be contested in administrative proceedings. The procedures and remedies applicable in administrative proceedings in Idaho vary depending on specific permits.
Other lawsuits and/or administrative challenges beyond those described above may occur with respect to the Project.
| 17.5 | Social and Community Impact | |
Perpetua Resources respects the needs of Project stakeholders, including local communities, Tribal governments, and regional interests in the development of the Project. Project planning and design have incorporated an iterative process of community engagement involving communication, listening, and responding to stakeholders. These activities include estimating Project impacts and communication of those impacts to the potentially affected communities, helping local communities plan for potential expansion of public services and infrastructure, developing community agreements to ensure long-term financial benefits beyond the Project lifespan, engaging with local tribal governments, and sponsoring and participating in community and educational events. The public scoping and DEIS and SDEIS public comment phases of the NEPA process, along with comment procedures applicable to various federal and state permits, also provided important feedback from the communities that will be affected by the Project. Significant comment-driven Project changes, including backfilling of Hangar Flats pit, elimination of Fiddle DRSF, and additional fisheries and

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
water quality mitigation measures, were incorporated by Perpetua Resources in modifications of the mine design as the Project proceeded through NEPA and permitting.
| 17.5.1 | Economic Effects | |
Economic impacts of the Project include creation of direct, indirect and induced jobs and additional tax revenues for local communities, the state of Idaho and the nation. An economic model known as Impact analysis for Planning (IMPLAN) was constructed to estimate impacts within Valley and Adams Counties (regional impacts), the state of Idaho and the U.S. (Highland Economics, 2018). The IMPLAN model is based on estimates of expenditures related to labor, materials and services and allocation of expenditures to various geographical and retail sectors for different periods of the project. The IMPLAN model was reviewed and approved by the USFS for suitability in the NEPA process.
| 17.5.2 | Community Agreements | |
**2018 Community Agreement:** In December 2018, Perpetua Resources entered into a Community Agreement with villages, cities, and counties in the vicinity of the Project: Adams County, Idaho County, Cascade, Council, Donnelly, New Meadows, Riggins and Yellow Pine. This agreement. created a collaborative environment for engagement with these communities.
The Community Agreement established the Stibnite Advisory Council, a panel composed of local residents appointed by each signatory community, and Perpetua Resources leadership to facilitate these interactions.
The Stibnite Advisory Council provides a forum for communication and dissemination of information between the communities and Perpetua Resources on such topics as safety and environment, employment and workforce training, business opportunities, housing, infrastructure and community and family support and sustainability.
The Community Agreement also established the Stibnite Foundation, a non-profit organization which identifies, evaluates, and funds projects to benefit the communities in the West Central Mountains. Decisions regarding projects to be supported are made by the Stibnite Foundation board, which is comprised of one representative from each community that has signed the Community Agreement. Long-term financial stability of the Stibnite Foundation is ensured through creation of an endowment funded by Perpetua Resources through cash and equity grants at periodic intervals in conjunction with Project milestones including receipt of operating permits, commencement of construction, commencement of commercial production, and completion of reclamation.
**2023 Yellow Pine Agreement:**Perpetua Resources signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in November 2023 with the Village of Yellow Pine, committing to formalize regular communication with the Village on at least a quarterly basis, as well as to provide financial support not exceeding $5,000 annually to the Village to support its engagement with the company.
**2025 Valley County Community Impact Benefit Agreement:**In December 2025, Perpetua and Valley County signed a comprehensive Community Impact Benefit Agreement as a vehicle to satisfy Valley County requirements outlined in its approval of the Stibnite Logistics Facility CUP (2020), as a way to codify mitigation commitments in the US Forest Services Final Record of Decision, and formalize additional commitments made by Perpetua to directly offset impacts and provide benefits to the community.

**March 31, 2026**
**Critical Resource. Responsible Mining. Sustainable Approach.**
| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
In total, Perpetua will spend roughly $10 million to meet CUP required mitigations, including offsetting general county services, providing emergency services support, and managing all waste generated by the project. An additional $203 million will be spent on already planned for employee housing, which satisfies the Countys housing requirements.
Perpetua proposed to spend no less than $1.46 million in additional voluntary mitigations and benefits for the community, including emergency services support, recreational support, and economic development. Additional benefits not included in the Community Impact Benefit Agreement include a powerline upgrade that will provide increased power and grid reliability for the region at no cost to ratepayers.
| 17.5.3 | Community Engagement | |
Perpetua has undertaken a number of initiatives to act as a contributing member of the local community while providing transparency and accountability. In addition to active participation in local organizations and events, Perpetua focused on opportunities to listen to community members in order to gather feedback. Feedback and information sharing occurred through regularly hosted events, webinars, office hours, and focus groups.
Perpetua Resources has participated in strategic planning with local officials, local public service organizations and events and infrastructure stakeholders to identify and plan for potential issues associated with the development of the Project. These efforts included:
| | The primary mine access road (Burntlog Route) was conceived in a Yellow Pine community meeting. | |
| | Improvement information and access negotiation for collection of baseline data with landowners along the electrical transmission line right-of-way. | |
| | Transportation corridor and intersection improvements with the cities of McCall, Valley County Road Department, and Idaho Transportation Department. | |
| | Plans community adaptation associated with the influx of workers and indirect job creation associated with the Project with local school districts, fire departments and emergency response providers. | |
| | An alternative snowmobile trail adjacent to the Project access road and through-site access to the Thunder Mountain recreation area through the mine site. | |
| 17.5.4 | Tribal Engagement | |
Perpetua Resources respects the sovereign treaty rights of Native American tribes and recognizes the Government-to-Government consultation obligations of the United States under federal statutes and regulations. Three federally recognized tribes - the Nez Perce Tribe, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, and Shoshone-Paiute Tribes - were consulted with throughout the permitting process through formal Government-to-Government consultation conducted by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS or Forest Service) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
In parallel to Government-to-Government consultation, Perpetua Resources engaged directly in good faith with the Tribal governments of the Nez Perce Tribe, the Shoshone Bannock Tribes, and the Shoshone Paiute Tribes through all phases of Project exploration, planning, permitting and early development to support information sharing, increased awareness, and open opportunity for collaboration. Idahos Tribal Nations have a vast knowledge and diverse perspective of the region and Perpetua has worked diligently to listen to Tribal perspectives, incorporate knowledge, and encourage ongoing engagement to build and implement a more sustainable project.
Previous engagements with the Tribes have included direct information sharing, meetings between technical subject matter experts, leadership meetings with Tribal Governments, offers to conduct site visits, and quarterly reports. In addition, the Tribes also participated in direct communication with the federal agencies and provided written and verbal comments on the Project. These interactions helped shape the Project as it continues today. Perpetua Resources has modified the Project Plan based on input from Idahos Tribes. Revisions included prioritizing fish passage, improving site water quality, reducing project footprint by 13%, stream and wetland restoration, creating a Tribal Member Site Access Plan, implementing dust abatement, and culvert repairs, and investing $20 million in early action cleanup activities to improve water quality.
Efforts to enhance communication included a communications agreement between the Company and the Nez Perce Tribe, which was implemented successfully for over a year. Despite Perpetua Resources best intentions and efforts to collaborate, in 2019, the Nez Perce Tribe filed a lawsuit alleging unpermitted water pollution discharges in areas impacted by legacy mine activity by third parties. In 2023, Perpetua Resources and the Nez Perce Tribe entered a Settlement Agreement, with a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice, to resolve that case. In 2025, the Nez Perce Tribe filed a lawsuit challenging to the U.S. Forest Services Record of Decision for the Project, which is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho.
Significantly, as the result of the Government-to Government consultation, in the final Record of Decision, the Forest Service established that the Tribes may participate in a Tribal Monitoring Program, Tribal Observation Program, and Tribal Access plan. Perpetua Resources Plan of Operation, approved by the Forest Service in October 2025, incorporates these programs and plans.
The Tribal Monitoring Program facilitates tribal monitoring of project activities near historic properties as defined consistent with applicable National Historic Properties Act, Section 106 requirements. The program is funded by Perpetua Resources, and Tribal monitors nominated and elected by their respective Tribes will have the opportunity to be present during construction and operations, subject to applicable health and safety requirements. Together, elected Tribal monitors and a USFS archaeologist will help ensure Project activities avoid impacts to historic properties, if any are present, and remain within surveyed and flagged areas. The monitoring program is designed in accordance with the National Historic Properties Act, Section 106 and is a requirement of the USFS Record of Decision for the Project. In 2025, the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes entered into an agreement to conduct a Tribal Monitoring Program at the Project.
Perpetua Resources is committed to supporting ongoing transparency and accountability related to project compliance with NEPA and required permits. TheTribal Observer ProgramfacilitatesTribal observationof pre-construction and construction activities. As outlined in the final Record of Decision,Tribal observers will be nominated by their respective Tribes to serve in theroleand work will be funded by Perpetua Resources.

Access issubject only to safety rules and requirements put in place to protect the health and safety of workers and visitors in the mining area. Tribal members interested in accessing the Project site for hunting, fishing, culturalactivities,and traditional ceremonies can either work through theirGovernmentleadership or directly reach out to Perpetua Resources by emailingAccess@Perpetua.usto learn more aboutmaking arrangements.
Perpetua Resources recognizes the need to consider potential effects on historic properties and provide mitigation and protection to support the preservation of cultural values. In its final Record of Decision for the Project, USFS mandated a Cultural Resource Programmatic Agreement to detail the treatment of historical and cultural findings and ensure the Project remains in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR 800. After consultation with the Tribes, the Projects Programmatic Agreement includes provisions for identification of historic properties, mitigations for any adverse effects to historic properties, the preparation of a historic properties management plan, and subsequent historic properties treatment plans to address potential effects to historic properties over the life of the Project. Perpetua Resources is a signatory to this Programmatic Agreement with the USFS.
| 17.6 | Compensatory Mitigation | |
While Project facilities and infrastructure would be located in areas of previous disturbance wherever practicable, in some cases disturbance of wetlands and streams would be unavoidable. Unavoidable impacts to waters of the U.S. require compensatory mitigation (i.e., replacement of their lost function) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The mitigation typically precedes the disturbance taking place and is accomplished either by using a mitigation bank or construction of replacement wetlands and stream segments preferably in the same drainage basin.
Complete compensatory mitigation via a single means is impractical due to the combined effects of the Project sequence, limited valley-bottom land available, and lack of established mitigation banks in the basin. Perpetua Resources pursued a comprehensive approach to wetland and stream compensatory mitigation that entails on-site enhancement and off-site projects such as stream habitat enhancements and replacement of culverts that presently impede fish passage. This approach has been agreed to and implementation has begun. Compensatory mitigation measures include certain closure and restoration projects. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has approved the mitigation proposals as part of its Clean Water Act Section 404 permit issued in May 2025, although additional review is required with respect to design and construction details.
| 17.7 | Closure and Reclamation | |
The approved closure, reclamation and restoration work at the Project site would include interim, concurrent, and final closure, reclamation and restoration of the Project site:
| 1. | Interim reclamation is intended to provide shorter-term stabilization to prevent erosion of disturbed areas and stockpiles that would be removed or more fully and permanently reclaimed later. | |
| 2. | Concurrent reclamation and restoration are designed to provide permanent, low-maintenance achievement of final reclamation and restoration goals on completed portions of the Project prior to the overall completion of mining activities throughout the mine site. | |

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| 3. | Final closure and reclamation and restoration would involve removing all structures and facilities; reclamation of those areas that have not been concurrently reclaimed such as the TSF and backfill surfaces; recontouring and improving drainages; creation of wetlands; reconstructing various stream channels; decommissioning of the EFSFSR diversion tunnel; growth media placement; planting and revegetation on disturbance areas; and reopening Stibnite Road (FR 50412) through the mine site. | |
Perpetua Resources developed closure and restoration plans with the objectives to establish a sustainable fishery with enhanced habitat to support natural populations of salmon, steelhead, and bull trout; protect water quality; establish vegetation; and enhance wildlife habitat, all contributing to a self-sustaining and productive ecosystem (Tetra Tech, 2025). Closure, reclamation, and restoration activities would achieve post-mining land uses of wildlife and fisheries habitat and dispersed recreation at the mine site.
| 17.7.1 | Tailings Storage Facility and Buttress | |
Perpetua Resources proposes to complete tailings reclamation and restoration after ore processing operations cease. After tailings consolidate sufficiently to use heavy equipment on top of the tailings, starting approximately 5 years after the end of deposition and concluding approximately 10 years after the end of deposition, Perpetua Resources would begin with placement of soil/rock cover material, then construct wetlands and restore Meadow Creek and its tributaries within appropriately sized lined floodplain corridors, place growth media, and revegetate the area. The TSF upland areas adjacent to the restored stream corridor would be capped with a low permeability geosynthetic cover with underlying geotube drain system that will collect and deliver consolidation waters to the water treatment facility. This would be overlain by an inert soil/rock layer and growth media and revegetated.
A low permeability geosynthetic cover would be placed over the TSF buttress after final grading, which would be designed to limit infiltration into the underlying development rock. The geosynthetic cover would be overlain by an inert soil/rock layer and growth media and revegetated. A lined channel and floodplain corridor would be established for Meadow Creek across the top of the closed buttress, with the stream corridor liner contiguous with the buttress cover. The channel would have a low gradient and wide floodplain across the top of the buttress, then drop more steeply to the valley floor near the south abutment. The steep channel segment would consist of a boulder chute (with underlying liner contiguous with the buttress cover) that would flow through an energy-dissipating basin at the toe of the TSF buttress before being discharged to a restored Meadow Creek on the valley bottom.
Perpetua Resources would begin removing the TSF supernatant pool when ore processing operations have ceased through evaporation and active water treatment that meets IPDES discharge limits followed by discharge to the EFSFSR or Meadow Creek. Removal of the remaining supernatant water from the TSF would allow the tailings surface to dry and gain strength to allow equipment on the tailings surface for grading and placement of cover. Cover placement and minor grading of tailings would work inward from the perimeter. The cover material would come from unconsolidated overburden stored in the upper lifts of the TSF Buttress.
Perpetua Resources would restore meandering stream channels (Meadow Creek and tributaries) within a geosynthetic-lined stream and floodplain corridor across the top of the TSF. This would allow for the post-closure development of riparian habitat, convey water off the facility, and minimize potential interaction of surface water with the underlying tailings.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Consolidation of the tailings would continue after surface reclamation, and consolidation water and any meteoric water comingled with it would be collected for treatment and discharge. Treatment would no longer be required after approximately year 40, at which time the treatment facility would be decommissioned, and the treatment facility site reclaimed.
| 17.7.2 | Mine Pit Reclamation | |
The reclamation approach for each mine pit will vary depending on factors such as: backfill status, highwall geologic exposure, and hydrological setting.
Hangar Flats pit would be backfilled to the valley bottom elevation or slightly higher during mine operations. The already-established Meadow Creek diversion channel and floodplain corridor would be retained around Hangar Flats pit as the final configuration, and the segment of Meadow Creek between the toe of the TSF Buttress and the entrance to the Hangar Flats pit diversion would be restored along with adjacent riparian wetlands. At closure, the backfill will be capped with a low permeability geosynthetic and covered with growth media and seed bank material. The area would be revegetated with a combination of upland and wetland vegetation. Wetlands created on the backfill surface would be fed from reestablished intermittent and ephemeral streams that were diverted above the Hangar Flats pit highwall and the TSF Buttress during operations. Meadow Creek downstream of the Hangar Flats pit diversion, to the confluence with the EFSFSR, would be enhanced during mine operations with large woody debris, boulder cluster habitat structures, and riparian plantings.
The Yellow Pine pit would be backfilled during operations, reaching the post-mine floodplain level, after which the EFSFSR and its nearby tributaries would be restored across the backfill. Portions of the highwalls on the east and west sides of the pit would remain above the backfilled portion of the pit and would not be reclaimed, enabling a wider restored floodplain in the middle of the backfill. The curved alignment of the valley restored in the backfill allows for a longer length and therefore flatter gradient, enabling a longer, flatter, and more sinuous EFSFSR channel to be constructed maximizing fish habitat and facilitating fish passage.
Stibnite Lake, of similar size to the current Yellow Pine pit lake, would be constructed within the lined corridor. The Stibnite Lake feature would reduce summer maximum stream temperatures leaving the site and replace the habitat functions of the current pit lake.
Hennessy Creek would cascade over the west highwall of the Yellow Pine pit to a restored section of low-gradient channel on the western edge of the reconstructed EFSFSR floodplain before joining the restored EFSFSR channel, and Midnight Creek would be restored across the southeastern portion of the EFSFSR floodplain, both forming wall-based channels that receive high-flow overflows from the main EFSFSR and sustain cold low flows year-round for juvenile fish rearing.
A road would be established over the backfilled Yellow Pine pit to allow through-site access through the reclaimed site and connect Stibnite Road (FR 50412) to Thunder Mountain Road (FR 50375, replacing segments of Stibnite Road (FR 50412) removed by mining. After restoration of the EFSFSR and Hennessy Creek across the backfill, closure of the EFSFSR tunnel, and construction of the permanent through-site access road, the Hennessy Creek diversion would be decommissioned and the area reclaimed, along with the adjacent operations-phase through site access road. Similarly, remaining portions of the Midnight Creek diversion would be reclaimed to pre-mining conditions.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The West End pit is not planned to be backfilled because it is planned as the last in the sequence to be mined. The sequence of mining facilitates backfilling the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats pits, enabling permanent restoration of fish passage and preventing formation of large pit lakes at either Yellow Pine or Hangar Flats. No backfilling would occur for the main West End pit. At closure, the remaining road into the pit and access to highwalls would be blocked with large boulders and/or earthen berms to deter motorized vehicle passage into the pit. West End Creek is planned to be routed into the West End pit in a rock chute on the highwall adjacent to the legacy DRSF, which is anticipated to form a lake. The pit lake is not expected to overflow because it is in the upper portions of its drainage basin with a relatively small catchment area. Lake levels would be monitored after closure, and a threshold water level would be established, sufficient to contain the predicted runoff volume from a high-snowpack year without discharge. If water levels approach the threshold, surface water diversions or water treatment could be implemented to prevent an uncontrolled discharge. A temporary treatment unit would be mobilized to the site to treat and discharge the water until the lake level falls below the threshold level to prevent an untreated discharge.
The Midnight pit in the southern portion of the overall West End pit is planned to be backfilled with approximately 6 million tons of development rock from the West End pit. The backfill would be placed to achieve a mounded final reclamation surface to promote drainage away from the West End pit and prevent formation of a pit lake. Portions of the backfill would be covered with growth media and revegetated, and the remainder covered with talus like development rock to mimic a natural talus slope.
| 17.7.3 | Plant Site and Related Infrastructure | |
The processing plant, ancillary and offsite facilities, utilities, and roads will be dismantled, recycled/salvaged, and reclaimed to the extent practicable unless there is an ongoing beneficial use. All structures and facilities not necessary for post-closure water management (e.g., certain roads, culverts, pipelines, and water treatment facilities) or other beneficial use would be removed, and the affected areas reclaimed.
The materials from the dismantling or demolition of structures and facilities would be salvaged or disposed of in the onsite private landfill(s) and/or in permitted offsite landfills. All reagents, petroleum products, solvents, and other hazardous or toxic materials would be removed from the Project site for reuse or would be disposed of according to applicable state and federal regulations. Sewage systems and septic tanks would be decommissioned. Foundations would be broken or fractured as required to prevent excessive water retention and covered in-place with an appropriate depth of soil-like material (approximately 2-ft thick combination of 1.5 ft of backfill and 0.5 ft of growth media) or would be removed and buried a minimum of 2 ft deep in the TSF buttress or pit backfill. Soil beneath fuel storage areas and chemical storage or processing buildings would be tested for contamination and removed and disposed of appropriately as needed. Following removal of facilities, the affected areas would be graded to restore drainage patterns and revegetated with approved seed mix.
Additionally, the plant site area will be covered with growth media and revegetated. Wetlands created on the plant site area would be fed by diverting Garnet Creek into the reclaimed plant site area providing a perennial water supply.
The Burntlog Route is planned to be closed once all reclamation work has been completed and significant fuel and reagent haulage is completed. New sections of the Burntlog Route would be decommissioned/obliterated and upgraded sections would be returned to their pre-project width, while retaining the safer upgraded lines and grades.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
The worker housing facility would be used during the years of reclamation, restoration, and closure activities but these activities would not require the full facility. A portion of it would be removed during the early years of closure and the worker housing facility would be dismantled, salvaged and the area reclaimed and revegetated after most closure activities are complete.
Strategic roads would initially be left in place during reclamation, restoration and closure. Other haul roads would be recontoured, ripped, and revegetated to the approximate pre-mining condition. Stream crossings would be restored in kind, and drainage facilities constructed for haul roads would be retained temporarily as necessary for sediment control and then reclaimed.
The section of powerline from the Johnson Creek substation to the site would be retained in service during closure and post-closure water treatment, but substation components downsized to accommodate approximately 1 MW service. After closure activities that have significant power requirements have been completed, the section of the powerline from the Johnson Creek substation to the site will be disassembled, and the associated roads reclaimed to their pre-project state. Drainage stabilization and erosion control features would be installed. The upgraded powerline from Warm Lake to Yellow Pine would be left in place; Idaho Power would continue to maintain that line.
Perpetua Resources would decommission and close underground facilities and underground support facilities, including the portals of the EFSFSR Tunnel and underground workings partially mined-out within the open pits. To prevent future access to underground workings, portals will be closed using a concrete block bulkhead, rockfill, or a combination of rockfill and low-permeability foam.
All construction and demolition waste generated at the SGP would be hauled off site for disposal at a permitted landfill; a landfill would not be constructed or maintained at the SGP. Solid waste from the worker housing facility, shops, and other work areas that cannot be recycled will be collected in wildlife-resistant receptacles and hauled off site for disposal in a municipal waste landfill. Material that meets the classification of a hazardous waste would be collected and stored, per the SGP Waste Management Plan at specially designed and operated secured satellite collection sites and a main storage site prior to shipment off-site to a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) certified hazardous waste disposal facility.
| 17.8 | Closure and Reclamation Costs, and Financial Assurance | |
Anticipated costs for closure and reclamation of the Stibnite Gold Project were developed utilizing the Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimator (SRCE) model currently used and developed in Nevada for mining specific projects, supplemented by site-specific costs and quantity estimates. Cost for reclamation and closure and conservation/mitigation measures are for both concurrent reclamation/restoration (integrated with mining costs) and final reclamation/restoration. Financial assurance cost estimates are based on third-party performance of reclamation and closure activities. In 2025 Q4, Perpetua Resources posted construction phase financial assurance in the approximate amount of approximately $160 million to meet the requirements of USFS, USACE, IDL, and IDWR for construction phase financial assurance. Under applicable regulatory approvals, this amount can be adjusted to reflect either increased or decreased reclamation costs as construction proceeds. Additional financial assurance will be required for Project operations.

**18****Capital and Operating Costs**
Estimation of capital and operating costs is essential to the evaluation of the economic viability of a prospective project. These factors, combined with revenue and other expense projections, form the basis for the financial analysis presented in Section 19 of this Report. Capital (CAPEX) and operating (OPEX) costs for the Project were estimated on the basis of the mine plan, plant design, estimates of materials and labor based on that design, analysis of the process flowsheet and predicted consumption of power and supplies, budgetary quotes for major equipment, labor requirements, and estimates from consultants and potential suppliers to the project.
The economic information included in this TRS is presented as of December 31, 2025, and updates the information presented in the 2022 TRS, which was supplemented by an updated cash flow model published by the company on February 13, 2025 (the Financial Update). The Financial Update applied cost estimates, commodity pricing and other assumptions as of the fourth quarter of 2024 and was based, in part, on basic engineering work completed in January 2025 by Ausenco Engineering USA South Inc. (Ausenco), and with contributions from other mining engineers and consultants. Since February 2025, the company has continued to progress engineering, contracting, and early construction activities, and announced in December 2025 the appointment of Hatch Ltd. (Hatch) as EPCM contractor for certain design, engineering, procurement, construction, management, testing, studies, and related services for the Stibnite Gold Project, including the process plant, the pressure oxidation facility, associated on-site infrastructure, utilities, and facilities, together with overall integration, coordination, and execution support for those in-scope elements of the Project. Prior to this appointment, the Company had already been working closely with Hatch on detailed design and engineering of the Companys pressure oxidization circuit and related facilities.
Throughout 2025 and into early 2026, Perpetua has continued to progress basic engineering as well as more advanced engineering in numerous areas with overall engineering estimated at 45% complete as of December 31, 2025. With receipt of the Final Record of Decision in January 2025, Perpetua proceeded to post initial financial assurance with various state agencies ahead of commencing early works construction which occurred on October 21, 2025. Considering rapidly rising metal prices over the last 24 months and the companys transition into early works construction, Perpetua is publishing this updated TRS to provide timely and relevant Project information regarding project development at the Stibnite Gold Project. All assumptions and estimates presented are effective as of December 31, 2025. Ongoing efforts to advance engineering, contracting and construction work may result in revisions to the costs, figures, methods and assumptions presented.
| 18.1 | Capital Cost Summary | |
Estimated CAPEX, or capital expenditures, include three components: (1) the initial CAPEX to undertake the detailed design, pre-strip, construction, and commissioning of the mine, plant facilities, ancillary facilities, utilities, and operations camp, and complete on and offsite environmental mitigation and remediation; (2) the sustaining CAPEX for facilities expansions, mining equipment replacements, expected replacements of process equipment and ongoing environmental mitigation activities; and (3) the closure and reclamation CAPEX to close and rehabilitate on and off-site components of the Project, which includes post-closure water treatment. Closure assumes self-performed closure

The CAPEX estimate includes direct mining equipment and pre-stripping costs, process plant costs, on-site infrastructure such as the TSF and the operations camp, and off-site infrastructure such as the power transmission line, the mine access road, the Stibnite Gold Logistics Facility (SGLF), and reclamation and closure costs. The initial CAPEX also includes indirect costs for detailed design and engineering, land acquisition, some environmental mitigation, and other costs. Initial CAPEX also includes an estimate of contingency based on the accuracy and level of detail of the cost estimate. The purpose of the contingency provision is to make an allowance for uncertain cost elements that may occur but are not included in the cost estimate. These cost elements include uncertainties concerning completeness, accuracy and characteristics or nature of material takeoffs, accuracy of labor and material rates, accuracy of labor productivity expectations, and accuracy of equipment pricing. The CAPEX estimates are considered to have an accuracy range of -10% to +15%.
The primary assumptions used to develop the CAPEX are provided below:
| | The estimate is based on Q4 2025 costs. | |
| | There is no escalation added to the estimate from the base date of Q4 2025 forward. | |
| | All cost estimates were developed and are reported in United States of America (US) dollars. | |
| | Units of measure for this Project are primarily in English customary units, unless otherwise noted. | |
| | At the time of this estimate, engineering was approximately 45% complete. | |
| | Contingency during the pre-production period is specific to each major component of the Project as determined by the company and informed by various consultants. | |

| | Qualified and experienced construction contractors will be available at the time of Project execution. | |
| | Borrow sources are available in the Meadow Creek valley or nearby within the Project boundary. | |
| | Weather-related delays in construction are not accounted for in the estimate. However, the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) schedule does account for a ramp down in construction activity during the three winter months (December, January, and February). | |
| | The oxygen plant equipment is planned to be purchased from a vendor including installation supervision. Oxygen would be piped directly from the oxygen plant to the autoclave building. The oxygen plant would have its own electrical power substation adjacent to the plant. | |
| | Financial assurance costs associated with closure-related bonding are excluded from this estimate. | |
| | An allowance of 5% is included in the financial model for salvage value of selected capital equipment, excluding buildings and tanks, which are included in the reclamation costs. | |
| | Costs incurred prior to the start of construction are not included in the model and are considered sunk costs, except for tax purposes, where the aggregate expenditures accumulated prior to the construction start date are available to offset taxes. | |
| | No provision has been made for currency fluctuations. | |
| 18.1.1 | Mine Capital Costs | |
The mine capital includes three components: the mining fleet, mine support equipment, and the cost of pre-stripping. Mine capital cost for mobile equipment was developed from the mine equipment list presented in Section 13 of this Report. Mine capital costs including equipment and pre-production development are presented in Table 18-2.
**Table 18-2:****Mine Capital Cost Summary**
| Mining CAPEX Components | Pre-Production($M) | Sustaining($M) | Total CAPEX($M) | |
| Mine Major Equipment (Leased) | 27.0 | 206.8 | 233.9 | |

| Capitalized Preproduction Development | 139.5 | - | 139.5 | |
| Total Mining CAPEX | 183.6 | 211.4 | 395.0 | |
Perpetua plans to lease the major mining equipment. The down payment, principal payment, and buyout portions of the leasing costs for the mining fleet are included in initial and sustaining CAPEX. Lease rates were based on 60-month leases with equipment buyouts at the end of the lease period.
Lease rates for the major mine equipment were obtained from major mine equipment vendors. Lease down payments, lease principal payments, and end-of-lease term buyout options are accounted for as capital costs.
Capital costs for each equipment type were estimated using a combination of official vendor quotes, budget quotes or recent mining industry surveys. Equipment capital costs include estimates for freight, assembly, spare parts, initial tire

purchase, fire suppression, equipment advance payments, and potential equipment modifications. For equipment that is planned to be leased, pay schedules are based on quotes provided by equipment manufacturers.
There are certain capital costs associated with the mine that are included elsewhere in the estimate. These items include mine office buildings, shop facilities, mobile equipment that is not required by the mine, and all infrastructure costs (except for haul roads).
Table 18-3 summarizes the mine capital costs by year. The down payment, principal payments, and buyout costs for the mine major equipment are included as capital costs. Preproduction stripping is part of the mine capital cost but is shown separately to differentiate it from the cost of purchasing mine equipment.

Major mine equipment is leased in the year it is required for operation. The acquisition schedule for the leased major mine mobile equipment is provided in Section 13 of this Report. The mine capital costs in Table 17 5 represent major mine equipment being leased throughout the mine life and bought out when the lease term has expired. Mine support equipment is purchased outright except motor graders and includes auxiliary equipment (e.g., water trucks, light plants, ANFO trucks), mine maintenance vehicles, and mine administration vehicles, such as pickup trucks for mine supervisors. Equipment capital costs include estimates for freight, assembly, spare parts, initial tire purchase, fire suppression, equipment advance payments, and potential equipment modifications.
Table 17 5 also includes the mine support equipment capital costs. Mine support equipment pricing was priced from vendor quotes. The truck shop, truck wash, and truck shop warehouse are included in the Plant CAPEX.
Pre-stripping requirements were developed monthly to provide ore exposure for production in Year 1 and construction material for the TSF starter dam. A total of 28.5 Mst of development rock would be mined during preproduction from Yellow Pine open pit, West End open pit, SODA area and TSF borrow. Mining costs during pre-production were based on areas stripped, haul profiles, established equipment rates and estimated operator wages. The cost build-up assumes that pre-stripping activities will be conducted by an owner-operated fleet using leased equipment.
| 18.1.2 | Plant Capital Costs | |
Capital costs for the processing plant were estimated using budgetary equipment quotes, material take-offs (MTOs) for concrete, steel, and earthwork, estimates from vendors and consultants, and estimates based on experience with similar projects of this type. The capital cost estimate for the plant is shown in Table 18-4.

The capital cost estimate is based on the cost of equipment, material, labor, and construction equipment needed to complete the plant up to start-up. The accuracy of the CAPEX estimate is -10% to +15%. Data for this estimate was obtained from numerous sources including:
| | Design engineering consisting of flow sheets, general arrangement plans and cross sections, civil grading drawings, process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and electrical one-line drawings; | |
| | Pressure oxidation engineering; | |
| | Topographical base information from a 2009 aerial LiDAR survey augmented by a 2013 LiDAR survey for outlying areas for the mine access road; | |
| | Budgetary equipment and materials quotations from vendors; and | |
| | Installation rates and contractors Indirects were also sourced from contractors for major construction packages such as earthworks, concrete works, structural/mechanical/piping/platework installation, and field-fabricated tanks and electrical and instrumentation installation. | |
Below is a description of the pricing that was used by category.
Capital Equipment Pricing
All major processing equipment were sized based on the process design criteria. Once the mechanical equipment list was developed, mechanical scopes of work were compiled and sent to suppliers for budgetary pricing. 91.9% of the mechanical equipment costs and 98.4% of the electrical equipment costs were sourced from budgetary quotations, while the remaining pricing for minor equipment was derived from recent reference projects and studies.

Electrical Equipment
One-line electrical distribution diagrams were designed for each plant and ancillary area to determine the required number and size of transformers, switchgear, and motor control centers. All major electrical equipment were sized based on the project equipment list. Once electrical equipment list was developed, scopes of work were derived and sent to the market for budgetary pricing to domestic and international equipment suppliers. Once the budgetary quotations were reviewed and integrated, the remainder of the minor equipment pricing sourced from other recent projects and studies.
Mechanical Equipment
All major mechanical equipment was priced for the capital cost estimate by soliciting budgetary quotations, or in the case of minor equipment, from quotes or purchases from recent jobs. The vendors that were approached were generally the best-known suppliers of process equipment in the mining industry: Operating data sheets (ODSs) were developed to provide duty specifications for each unique piece of major equipment in the Equipment Register. The ODSs were populated with process flows and data from the METSIM process simulation, from specifications in the Process Design Criteria, and from physical information derived from General Arrangement drawings. Vendors were provided other information needed to receive a credible quote. All quotes were evaluated to determine if they met the duty specifications. The price that was used in the capital cost estimate was based on the most suitable quote.
Piping, Pump, and Valve Quotes
A list of pumps was developed for all process areas. Operating data were tabulated for all pumps on this list. Requests for budgetary quotes were furnished to pump suppliers for comparative quotes. A piping engineer reviewed the vendor submissions and technical information to select the appropriate equipment to include in the capital cost estimate.
Structural Steel and Concrete Quantity Estimates
Structural steel and concrete quantities were based on MTOs. Dimensions were taken from design drawings and used for estimation. The MTO provided total quantities of each category of steel by plant area number. Concrete quantity totals were similarly compiled by type and plant area number.
Concrete & Structural Commodity Pricing
Unit pricing was solicited from four structural steel providers for the Project, which were adjusted for steel unit prices typical for current large EPCM jobs. These unit prices were applied by the estimator to the quantities provided in the MTOs.
A regional concrete supplier provided prices for supply of concrete predicated on the assumption that a batch plant would be set up on site and that aggregate would be available from site-furnished materials.
Instrumentation
Instrumentation materials costs were based on instrumentation lists derived from P&IDs developed for the Project.

The Project site is located near the headwaters of the EFSFSR and has been environmentally impacted by historical mining activities by third parties. Perpetua Resources has integrated environmental remediation and restoration activities into its mine plan and will be required to reclaim Project disturbance and complete both onsite and offsite stream and wetland compensatory mitigation to offset impacts to these resources attendant to mine construction and operations. Additionally, off-site road intersection improvements are included as mitigation for traffic impacts. Capital costs for these activities are summarized in Table 18-13. These costs are divided into three time periods: pre-operation (initial), operation (sustaining, i.e., for concurrent reclamation), and post-operation (closure).
**Table 18-13:****Mitigation, Reclamation, and Closure Costs**
| Environmental Mitigation and Reclamation | Initial ($M) | Sustaining ($M) | Closure ($M) | Total ($M) | |
| Mitigation, Reclamation, and Closure | 11.5 | 112.3 | 118.1 | 241.9 | |
Notes: **1.**The mitigation, reclamation and closure costs above are carried under Owner Project Team Capital Costs.
Closure and reclamation costs were developed utilizing the Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimator (SRCE), discussed in Section 14 of this Report, based on these activities being conducted by the operator, and do not include management and administration by outside entities. Costs were then incorporated into the overall Project cost model in the year that they occur.
Closure costs include items such as potential long-term water treatment, stream and wetland restoration, reclamation and reclamation maintenance, and long-term site monitoring such as surface and ground water monitoring, vegetation success monitoring, aquatic species and habitat monitoring, and chemical and physical stability. Water treatment during construction and operations is included in the water management cost. Bulk earthmoving of legacy materials accomplished by the mine fleet is included in the mining operations cost.
Long-term closure and monitoring costs are factored from anticipated operational costs, experience from closure operations of similar projects, first principles construction costs, and standard unit costs. The schedule of costs for

reclamation, closure, and post-closure are allocated along the life of mine and closure, based upon expected reclamation and closure related activities.
Under applicable federal and state laws, financial assurance will be required to be posted with certain agencies at various times over the life of the Project to address disturbances during Project construction and operations. For example, Perpetua Resources was required to post certain financial assurance before commencing certain limited early works construction-related activities in October 2025. A separate bond has been posted in connection with the ASAOC. Financial assurance costs have not been included in the capital cost estimate because the structure and amount of the financial assurance requirements is subject to ongoing regulatory review and adjustment.
| 18.1.7 | Estimated Contingency | |
Contingency costs, as summarized in Table 18-14, are estimates of the costs that are not included in the CAPEX that can be expected to be spent during initial construction. The more engineering and construction execution planning that is done ahead of the estimate, the higher the accuracy of the CAPEX and thus, the lower the contingency costs as a percentage of total CAPEX.
The amount of risk was assessed with due consideration of the level of design work, the way pricing was derived, and the nature of the plan for project implementation.
A Probabilistic Contingency Analysis was performed, which consisted of a contingency-ranging workshop. It evaluated the major cost components in terms of confidence in pricing and quantity basis and provided input ranges for potential underrun/overrun.
The probabilistic range of the estimate reflects the potential project cost outcomes created by the variances assigned to each line item in the estimate. Determining a range for each line item in the estimate provides a means for approximating the accuracy of the estimate.

**19****Economic Analysis**
The economic analysis presented in this Report uses a financial model that estimates cash flows on a monthly basis for the life of the Project at the level of detail appropriate to the prefeasibility level of engineering and design. Annual cash flow projections are estimated over the LOM based on the CAPEX, OPEX, sales revenue and other cost estimates outlined in Section 18. CAPEX is estimated in four categories: initial, sustaining, closure and reclamation, and working, and are distributed in accordance with the estimated year of expenditure. OPEX estimates include labor, reagents, maintenance, supplies, services, and electrical power for each year. The sales revenue is based on payable metals contained in dor bullion and antimony concentrate produced by the ore processing plant. Other costs, such as royalties, taxes, and depreciation are estimated in accordance with the present stage of the Project.
The financial model results are presented in terms of net present value (NPV), payback period (time in years to recapture the initial capital investment), and the internal rate of return (IRR) for the Project. Cash flow projections are estimated over the life-of-mine (LOM) based on the estimates of capital expenditures and production cost and sales revenue. The estimates of CAPEX and OPEX have been developed specifically for this Project, as presented in Section18 of this Report.
| 19.1 | Assumptions | |
The base case economic analysis was performed assuming a gold price of US$3,250/oz, silver price of US$40.00/oz, and antimony price of US$10.00/lb. This forecast is premised on consensus long-term forecasts of the gold price as at December 31, 2025. With a smaller sample set of forecasts for antimony and silver only representing an immaterial portion of project economics, pricing was selected at or below long-term consensus estimates. Where applicable, price inflation and escalation factors were considered and applied for various line items except where firm vendor pricing has been obtained and/or under contract. Commodity prices can be volatile and there is the potential for positive or negative deviation from the forecast. Assumptions that were used to estimate the CAPEX and OPEX are presented in Section 18 of this Report. The economic analysis also used the following assumptions:
| | A discount rate of 5% is applied to NPV calculations (NPV5%). | |
| | Construction period of 45 months. | |
| | Total mine life of 14.25 years. | |
| | Cost estimates in constant Q4 2025 dollars with no inflation or escalation factors considered beyond this period. | |
| | Results based on 100% ownership with a 1.7% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on gold production and a 100% NSR royalty on all silver production starting in year 7. | |
| | Funding for the Project is assumed to be 100% equity funding with no financing costs except leasing of major mining equipment since this equipment would almost certainly be lease purchased. | |
| | All cash flows discounted to start of construction period using mid-month discounting convention. | |
| | All metal products are sold in the same month they are produced. | |

| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| | Project revenue is derived from the sale of gold dor and antimony concentrate. | |
| | No firm contractual arrangements for refining or transportation currently exist. | |
| | Costs incurred prior to the start of construction are not included in the model and are considered sunk costs, except for tax purposes, where the aggregate expenditures accumulated prior to the construction start date are available to offset taxes. | |
| | A 15-day delay in revenue from sales and a 15-day delay in payment of accounts payable are used in the formulation of working capital, which is recaptured at the end of mine life. | |
| | An allowance of 5% is included in the financial model for salvage value of selected capital equipment, excluding buildings and tanks, which are included in the reclamation costs. | |
| | Depreciation is calculated using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) method in accordance with current U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. | |
| | Depletion for tax purposes is estimated for the financial model using the percentage method; a rate of 15% is used for gold and silver and 22% is used for antimony. | |
| 19.2 | Revenue | |
Revenue for the financial model is based on the grade and tonnage of mill feed from the mine plan (Table 19-1), using the plant recovery for the specific mineralization type to yield metal production figures (Table 19-2). The appropriate refinery or smelter treatment terms (Table 19-3) are applied to the payable metals (Table 19-4) using the metal prices presented in Table 19-5.

| 19.3 | Capital Costs | |
The details of the CAPEX estimate for the Project are summarized below and are presented in more detail in Section 18 of this Report. For purposes of the financial model, CAPEX is broken into four categories: initial capital, sustaining capital, closure, and reclamation capital, and working capital. Table 19-6 presents a summary of the initial, sustaining and closure and reclamation capital costs.
**Table 19-6:****Capital Cost Summary**
| Area | Detail | Initial CAPEX ($M) | Sustaining CAPEX ($M) | Closure CAPEX ($M)(1) | Total CAPEX ($M) | |

| Pre-Production Revenue | -52 | - | - | -52 | |
| Total CAPEX | 2,524 | 767 | 118 | 3,409 | |
Notes: **1.**Closure assumes self-performed closure costs, which will differ for those assumed for financial assurance calculations required by regulators.
| 19.4 | Operating Costs | |
The average cash operating cost per short ton (st) of processed material before by-product credits, royalties, refining and transportation charges over the LOM and during the first four years of operations are summarized in Table 19-7. These cash costs include mine operations, process plant operations, and general and administrative costs (G&A).
By-product revenue from silver and antimony can be credited as a deduction to the operating costs. The average cash operating cost per ton of processed material after by-product credits but before royalties, refining and transportation charges over the LOM and during the first four years of operations are also presented in Table 19-7.

Notes: **1.**Mining OPEX excludes capitalized stripping. **2.**Cash costs shown in this table are before royalties, refining, and transportation charges; cash costs that include these costs are presented in Table 19-8. **3.**By-product credits accrue from silver and antimony revenue.
| 19.5 | Other Costs | |
There is a 1.7% royalty that applies to gold revenue and a 100% royalty that applies to silver revenue starting in year 7. The LOM reduction in Net Operating Income of the combined royalties is estimated to be $272 million.
Depreciation is calculated using the MACRS method starting with the first year of production. The initial capital and sustaining capital used a 7-year life. The last year of production is the catch-up year for the assets that are not fully depreciated at that time.
The percentage depletion method was used in the evaluation. It is determined as a percentage of gross income from the property, not to exceed 50% of taxable income before the depletion deduction. A rate of 15% is used for gold and silver and a rate of 22% is used for antimony.
The Project has been evaluated on a post-tax basis to provide an approximate value of the potential economics. The tax model and calculations are based on the tax regime as of the date of this Report. At the effective date of this Report, the Project is assumed to be subject to the American federal corporate income taxes, Idaho state corporate income taxes, and the Idaho Mine License Tax. The corporate income taxes payable over the life of the mine are estimated to be US$1,336 million and the Idaho Mine License Tax payable over the life of the mine is estimated to be US$54.9 million. It must be noted that tax calculations involve complex variables that can only be accurately determined during operations and, as such, the actual taxes payable and post-tax economic results may differ from those estimated.
Taxable income for income tax purposes is defined as metal revenues minus operating expenses, royalty, property and severance taxes, reclamation and closure expense, depreciation and depletion. Deduction for depletion is used in the calculation of State income tax, but no deduction is taken for the federal income taxes paid. The combined effective tax rate was calculated as follows:
| Combined Effective Tax Rate | = State Rate + Federal Rate x (100% - State Rate)= 5.7% + 21% x (100% - 5.7%)= 25.503% | |

The Idaho Mine License Tax is a tax for the privilege of mining or receiving royalties from mining operations. The tax rate is 1% of the value of ores mined or extracted and royalties received. The basis is the taxable income that is defined by the IRS.
| 19.6 | Total Production Costs | |
A detailed breakdown of the various measures of cash cost over the life of the mine are shown in Table 19-8. The costs are presented in $/st mined, $/st milled, and in $/oz Au. The table provides the cash costs before and after by-product credits; the total cash costs, which include royalties, refining and transportation charges; and All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) that includes the Sustaining CAPEX, salvage, and property taxes for both the LOM and initial four years of operation. The All in Costs (AIC), that includes non-sustaining capital, is included for the LOM.

**19.8****Sensitivity Analysis**
The sensitivity of the financial model was tested with respect to metal prices or gold grade, initial CAPEX, and OPEX for each case. The value of each parameter was raised and lowered 20% to evaluate the impact of such changes on the NPV at a 5% discount rate. The results for the pre-tax NPV5% (PTNPV5%) and after-tax NPV5% (ATNPV5%) are presented in Table 19-12. After-tax sensitivities with respect to NPV0%, NPV5%, IRR, and payback in production years for the base case are presented in Table 19-13.

The ATNPV5% of the Project is most sensitive to changes in revenue, which is manifested as changes in metal prices and gold grades. For example, a 20% increase in gold price or gold grade raises the ATNPV5% from $3,457 million to $4,932 million, a 43% increase. Similarly, a decrease of 20% in gold grade or gold price results in a 43% decrease in ATNPV5%.

All the cases indicate that the Project is slightly less sensitive to changes in OPEX than it is to changes in CAPEX. For example, the change in ATNPV5% for a 20% increase in CAPEX is -14%, whereas a 20% increase in OPEX causes a -9% change in ATNPV5%.

**20****Adjacent Properties**
| 20.1 | Nearby Past Producers and Major Prospects | |
The Stibnite Gold Project is not impacted by adjacent properties. However, there are properties controlled by other parties to the east, west, and north of the Project that have been past producers and continue to be considered major prospects. Figure 20-1 illustrates the location of these adjacent properties relative to Stibnite.
Since the announcement of receipt of the majority of Project permits, exploration activity at nearby sites has increased significantly with additional claims staked in open ground between existing mineral property owners and active drilling in several areas. As of the effective date of this Report, operators of these other prospects, while actively exploring, have not announced development of mineral resources or reserves with respect to such adjacent properties. The QP has not independently verified reports of mineralization or exploration targets on the adjacent properties, and the publicly reported information is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the SGP property that is the subject of this TRS. Significant past producing gold mines and major prospects from the Idaho Geological Survey Mines Database (2018 version) and Perpetua Resources files near Stibnite (A) include: Thunder Mountain (B); Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge (C); B&B and Red Mountain (D); Moscow and Ludwig (E); and McRae and Independence (F).

**Figure 20-1:****Past Producing Mines and Major Prospects near Stibnite**
The Thunder Mountain District (labeled B on the map) had numerous placer mines and was the site of a major gold rush in the late 1880s and early 1990s. Later, several of the larger lode mines in the area produced over 100,000 oz of Au.
Recorded Sb production from Antimony Ridge (aka Babbitt Metal mine) south-southeast of the town of Yellow Pine (labeled C on map) includes ~40 tons mined in 1916-1917 and 400 tons mined from 1940-42 by the Bradley interests (Schrader and Ross, 1926; Shenon and Ross, 1936; La Heist, 1964). Small amounts of silver and gold were reported in

some antimony ore (Thomson, 1919). Anaconda mapped and sampled the prospect in 1938 and reported high-grade antimony-gold mineralization in a series of parallel but discontinuous veins. In the 1950s-70s, the Oberbillig interests and lessees continued work including the development of short adits and prospect pits and produced an undisclosed, but presumably small, amount of antimony from hand-cobbed stibnite veins. Amselco, Meridian, and TRV Minerals conducted extensive gold exploration in the 1980s-1990s, outlining a large area of mineralized material containing gold and antimony. However, no NI 43-101-compliant mineral resources have been reported. Material from this prospect was mined in the 1960s-1970s and either shipped to out of state smelters or processed at the nearby Antimony Camp (Oberbillig) mill along the Johnson Creek flood plain. Former mill tailings indicate that several thousand tons have been processed; however, some tailings represent custom milling of ore from other deposits. These prospects at Antimony Ridge have been the subject of significant recent drilling by the operators.
The Golden Gate prospect is located along a prominent ridge southeast of the town of Yellow Pine (labeled C on Figure 20-1) and approximately 9,000 tons of tungsten ore grading ~2 wt% WO3 were mined from Golden Gate Hill in 1972 and 1980, although it is unclear if tungsten was recovered (Leonard, ca 1992). These prospects at Golden Gate have been the subject of significant recent drilling by the operators.
Production of antimony, and possibly other metals such as mercury, from the former B&B underground and open pit mine near Profile Gap (located near D on Figure 20-1) probably did not exceed several hundreds of tons at an unknown grade (Leonard, 1965; Leonard et al., 1973).
Extensive exploration targeting gold was conducted in other areas by other operators during the 1980s-1990s to the north-northwest of Stibnite including drill campaigns at the Red Mountain (labelled D on Figure 20-1), Moscow (E), Ludwig (E), Independence (F) and McCrae (F) mines by Placer Dome, Freeport, Cambior, Amselco, St. Joe American Corporation, Kennecott, Coeur dAlene Mines, Nerco Exploration, Freeport-McMoRan, Independence Mining Company, Meridian Gold, and others. Several of these former operators reported historical estimates of mineralized materials, but there are no current mineral resources reported for these prospects.

**21****Other Relevant Data and Information**
Upon commencement of production, the Project would become a significant producer of domestically sourced antimony. Antimony was designated as a critical mineral in the U.S. Department of Interiors final list of 35 critical minerals published in 2025 (U.S. Dept. of Interior, 2025) due to a complete lack of primary domestic production in the U.S. and reliance on imports, directly or indirectly, from non-aligned countries such as China, Russia, and Tajikistan, which produce approximately 86% of the worlds antimony, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Report Summaries, January 2026.
In September 2025, Perpetua Resources announced plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to assess the technical and economic feasibility of multiple emerging potential off-site processing facilities from third parties to secure antimony for domestic uses. The RFP was issued with multiple parties providing responses. The RFP review process, underway on the effective date of this Report, will evaluate companies on potential production capacity, capitalization, reliability, environmental track record, creditworthiness, production readiness, transport reliability, and the ability to meet end users product requirements and market needs, among other factors.

**22****Interpretation and Conclusions**
Industry-standard mining, processing, construction methods, and economic evaluation practices were used to assess the Project. The financial analysis presented in Section 19 of this Report demonstrates that the Project is financially viable and has the potential to generate positive economic returns based on the assumptions and conditions set out in this TRS, while other sections of this TRS demonstrate that the Project is technically and environmentally viable.
Except as discussed in this Report, the QPs that have prepared this Report are not aware of any significant risks or uncertainties that could reasonably be expected to affect the reliability or confidence in the exploration results, Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates, or projected economic outcomes based on the data and information available to date.
| 22.1 | Risk and Opportunities | |
Risks and opportunities have been identified concerning the Project, apart from industry-wide risks and opportunities (such as changes in law and changes in capital and operating costs related to inputs like steel and fuel, metal prices, permitting timelines, etc.). Project-specific risks and opportunities are summarized below.
**Risks**, which additional information could eliminate or mitigate, include:
| | Delay in permitting or necessary project changes resulting from permitting; | |
| | Legal challenges to the USFS ROD or other regulatory approvals or environmental complications associated with legacy mining impacts; | |
| | Water chemistry and management issues that could affect diversion and closure designs and/or the duration of long-term water treatment; | |
| | Geological uncertainties which may affect Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves; | |
| | Geotechnical uncertainties in the open pit walls and infrastructure areas could impact the allowable pit slopes and design criteria; | |
| | Increases to estimated capital and operating costs; and | |
| | Delays or modifications to the construction schedule. | |
**Opportunities**that could improve the economics, and/or permitting schedule of the Project, including several with the potential to increase the NPV5% by more than $100 million include:
| | In-pit conversion of approximately 9.8 Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 1.02 g/t Au occurring within the Mineral Reserve Pits containing approximately 321 koz of gold, to Mineral Reserves, increasing Mineral Reserves and reducing the strip ratio; | |
| | Out-of-pit conversion of approximately 27.1 Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 1.26 g/t Au occurring outside the current Mineral Reserve Pits containing approximately 1,098 koz of gold, to Mineral Reserves; | |
**Page 22-**1
**March 31, 2026**
**Critical Resource. Responsible Mining. Sustainable Approach.**
| | | |
| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
| | Out-of-pit conversion of approximately 26.2 Mt of Indicated Mineral Resources grading 1.09 g/t occurring outside the current Mineral Reserve Pits containing approximately 917 koz of gold, to Mineral Reserves; | |
| | In-pit conversion of unclassified material currently treated as development rock to Mineral Reserves, increasing Mineral Reserves and reducing strip ratios; | |
| | Discovery of additional antimony Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in the Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine deposits as improved continuity of stibnite vein arrays and/or additional discrete zones of higher-grade antimony mineralization; | |
| | Increased Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in West End due to improved continuity of higher-grade gold mineralization and through the addition of fire assay information in areas where only cyanide assays were available for the current Mineral Resource estimates; | |
| | Potential for the definition of higher-grade, higher-margin underground Mineral Reserves at Scout, Garnet or Hangar Flats; | |
| | Potential to delineate other critical minerals on the Project, most notably tungsten. The Stibnite District was a significant past producer of tungsten, in addition to antimony. Between 1941-45 the operation produced approximately 50% of the tungsten and 90% of the antimony of US demand. Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals and this property along with its density and toughness make it a critical component of armor, drones, ammunition, and is used in many other military and industrial applications. While Perpetua has not defined tungsten mineral resources at this time, previous drilling by Perpetua and historic operators has returned sufficiently high grades of tungsten to warrant further investigation and analysis. Discovery of other new deposits with attractive operating margins, and | |

Past production is not indicative of future production. Exploration targets include conceptual geophysical targets, geochemical targets from soil, rock and trench samples, and results from widely spaced drill holes; as a result, the potential size and tenor of the targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources on these prospects and this data may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Mineral resources exclusive of mineral reserves are reported based on a fixed gold cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t for sulfide and 0.35 g/t for oxide, and in relation to conceptual Mineral Resource pit shells and Mineral Reserve pits to demonstrate potential economic viability as required under S-K 1300. Indicated mineral resources exclusive of mineral reserves are reported to demonstrate potential for future expansion should economic conditions warrant. Inferred mineral resources exclusive of mineral reserves are reported to demonstrate potential to increase in-pit production should inferred mineral resources be successfully converted to mineral reserves; mineralization lying outside of Mineral Resource pit shells is not reported as a mineral resource.
These mineral resource estimates include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated.

| Stibnite Gold ProjectS-K 1300 Technical Report Summary | | |
Opportunities with a medium impact ($10 to $100 million increase in Project NPV5%) include improved metallurgical recoveries, secondary processing of antimony concentrates, steeper pit slopes, and government funding of off-site infrastructure. A number of lesser-impact opportunities also exist.
To the extent that any of the of opportunities referenced above, including the potential to explore for additional minerals or the possibility of expanding the SGP, involve any activities not analyzed in the NEPA review for the Project or were to result in material changes to the Project design or scope, additional environmental review and/or permitting or other regulatory approvals might be required under applicable federal or state laws. In such circumstances, Perpetua Resources would evaluate the need for any such regulatory action and approvals, and take the necessary actions to comply with all applicable requirements before proceeding.

**23****Recommendations**
The QPs for this study recommend advancing the project toward a final construction decision. A detailed list of recommendations and work programs has been developed, including estimated costs, that would move the Project through to a construction decision. The estimated cost for completion of this phase is approximately $7.5 million, of which approximately $5.5 million is required for permitting.
Discretionary expenditures intended to pursue certain opportunities are identified in Section 22 of this Report but not required for a construction decision, are also included. These estimates assume a reasonable level of success in each area. If early evaluation results are poor, spending on that activity would likely be significantly lower than indicated. Conversely, exceptional results could necessitate higher expenditures. It is also unlikely that all discretionary activities will be completed before construction begins.
The detailed recommendations have been grouped into logical discipline categories including:
| | Mineral Resource evaluation and exploration; | |
| | Field programs required prior to a construction decision; | |
| | Project optimization and Detailed Engineering; and | |
| | Environmental, regulatory affairs and compliance. | |
Table 23-1 summarizes the recommendations and work programs, and separates the costs associated with the work program into core and discretionary categories.
