Performance You Can Measure

Responsible performance at Perpetua is built into how the Project is designed, operated, and evaluated. Before construction even began, we spent $19 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 emissions, environmental performance and other factors. The result is a system of accountability and transparency.

Restoration, Realized Today

Restoration at Stibnite is already taking shape. Over the past several years, early cleanup work has addressed some of the most pressing legacy impacts. As of December 2025:
