SJM 103 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

STIBNITE GOLD MINE – States findings of the Legislature, commends approval of the Stibnite Gold Project, and requests the remaining permits for the project be expeditiously processed and approved.

SJM 103 is a joint memorial (not a binding bill) passed by the Idaho Legislature commending the approval of Perpetua Resources' Stibnite Gold Project and requesting federal and state agencies expedite remaining permits. It highlights the project's significance for securing domestic antimony supply (critical for national defense), its planned environmental improvements at the historic mine site, and its economic benefits including $2.2 billion in investment and 500+ jobs. The memorial specifically references the U.S. Forest Service's 2025 approval of the project's environmental plan and urges agencies to complete permitting without delay. This resolution directly affects the Stibnite Gold Project developers and federal/state permitting agencies, but does not create new laws or regulations.
