Performance You Can Measure
Responsible performance at Perpetua is built into how the project is designed, operated, and evaluated. Before mining even began, we spent $20 million to improve water quality and clean up 376,000 tons of legacy waste and tailings at site.
We measure and report our performance against clear environmental and operational standards. This approach has been in place for more than a decade, with annual sustainability reporting and ongoing audits that measure everything from emissions to environmental performance. The result is a system where responsibility is accountable and transparent.
Sustainability Reporting
Each year, Perpetua Resources publishes a comprehensive report on environmental, social, and governance performance. It includes data on water quality, safety, workforce, community investment, and restoration progress.
