manufacturing. Comments received within the comment period specified

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Reference: AP768324XX.
Purpose and Use: Brief description of the purpose of the
transaction: To finance the redevelopment of gold-antimony-silver-
tungsten critical mineral deposits in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district
of central Idaho under EXIM's Make More in America initiative.
This project advances U.S. leadership in critical minerals by
expanding domestic resource development for materials that are
foundational to defense systems, energy technologies, and advanced
manufacturing.
The transaction is expected to enhance supply chain resilience,
reduce reliance on foreign sources for strategic minerals--particularly
antimony--and support high-quality U.S. jobs.
Brief non-proprietary description of the anticipated use of the
items being exported: The financing will be used for domestic purposes
and will result in the export of gold dor[eacute] bars and antimony
concentrate to overseas processing facilities. These materials will be
refined into gold bullion and processed into antimony metal and
derivative products that serve as essential inputs for U.S. industrial
and national security applications. Applications for antimony include
semiconductors and lead-acid batteries. As domestic antimony processing
becomes available, concentrate will be treated domestically.
Parties:
Principal Supplier: Various U.S. Entities.
Obligor: Perpetua Resources Idaho Inc.
Guarantor(s): Perpetua Resources Corp.
Description of Items Being Exported: The items being exported will
be gold dor[eacute] and antimony concentrate.
Information on Decision: Information on the final decision for this
transaction will be available in the ``Summary Minutes of Meetings of
Board of Directors'' on <a href="https://www.exim.gov/news/meeting-minutes">https://www.exim.gov/news/meeting-minutes</a>.

as amended (12 U.S.C. 635a(c)(10)).)
