US Approves Final Permit for Critical Minerals Mine in Idaho

The Trump administration granted the final federal permit for a mine in Idaho that will produce gold and antimony, a critical mineral used in munitions and other applications.

The US Army Corps of Engineers issued the Clean Water Act permit needed for Perpetua Resources Corp.’s Stibnite project in Idaho. The move was facilitated by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the chair of the National Energy Dominance Council, according to a statement from his department.
