The EXIM approval is a transformative de-risking event for Perpetua. Watch for definitive loan documentation and satisfaction of conditions precedent in coming months. A successful close would remove the primary funding risk for Stibnite, likely driving a re-rating. However, project execution and gold price risks remain.

Executive Summary
Perpetua Resources announced that the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) unanimously approved a $2.9 billion senior secured loan to fund development of the Stibnite Gold Project. The 13-year facility, with $2.4 billion upfront, carries an interest rate of long-dated U.S. Treasury plus 100 bps and is expected to close in H2 2026. This removes a major financing overhang and significantly de-risks the project.
