Following the successful equity offering in June and July 2025, and upon receiving the Notice to Proceed from the United States Forest Service ("USFS"), we broke ground in October 2025. Looking forward, we are focused on advancing our comprehensive project financing plan including progressing the U.S. EXIM debt financing with EXIM Board consideration expected by the Spring of 2026, continuing early works activity and resuming exploration activities on high priority targets within the area approved in Perpetua's Plan of Operations."
