Commitments Shaped by Community
Community input doesn’t just inform this work—it shapes and improves it. For more than a decade, we’ve created connections with the people and towns surrounding the Stibnite Gold Project. We’ve stayed in close conversation through monthly meetings, school visits, public comment sessions, and direct outreach. The Project moving forward today reflects years of input, refinement, and follow-through.
Local Investment
Local Jobs and Workforce Development
The Project is advancing toward operations—creating one of the most significant workforce buildouts in the region. Hiring prioritizes local workers, alongside investment in career technical education across five regional high schools.
Local Vendors and Services
We work with local businesses whenever possible. Since 2014, Perpetua has invested $108 million across Idaho through vendors, service providers, and regional partners.
Road Maintenance and Infrastructure
