Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation |
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation | 1.Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Perpetua Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, and, together with its Subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Perpetua Resources” or “Perpetua”) was incorporated on February 22, 2011 under the Business Corporation Act of British Columbia. The Corporation was organized to hold shares in wholly owned subsidiaries that locate, acquire, develop and restore mineral properties located principally in the Stibnite – Yellow Pine mining district in Valley County, Idaho, USA. The Corporation’s principal asset is 100% ownership in subsidiaries that control the Stibnite Gold Project (“Stibnite Gold Project” or the “Project”). The Company currently operates in one segment, which is mineral exploration in the United States. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Perpetua Resources Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. and Idaho Gold Resource Company, LLC. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required of annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current period presentation. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 may not be indicative of results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025. Management estimates that the Company’s 2025 effective tax rate will be 0% due to the Company’s cumulative loss position, historical net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other available evidence related to the Company’s ability to generate taxable income. Accordingly, there is no income tax provision or benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, we reported substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to lack of sufficient funding to meet the Company’s ongoing obligations or advance construction readiness activities for a period of 12 months from the date the annual financial statements were issued. Additional funding was received during 2025 and we have determined our current cash balance is sufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing obligations and to continue construction readiness activities and other ongoing operations for at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. The Company’s long-term plan is to generate future profitable operations through the development of the Stibnite Gold Project, which will require additional financing. The Company does not intend to commence full construction on the Project until full financing is in place for construction of the Project. While such financing is expected to be secured in 2026, if such financing is delayed, the Company has flexibility to defer or delay such expenses until financing is in place. The financing package is expected to include project financing from U.S. EXIM or other sources as well as proceeds from the Company’s recently closed equity offerings. On September 8, 2025, the Company received a preliminary, non-binding indicative financing term sheet from U.S. EXIM as part of a Preliminary Project Letter conveying U.S. EXIM’s initial due diligence findings to Perpetua on its application for $2 billion in debt financing from U.S. EXIM for the Stibnite Gold Project. Perpetua continues to work with U.S. EXIM to advance through the next stages of U.S. EXIM’s due diligence and loan application process. If the due diligence process is successful, the Company anticipates US EXIM Board consideration by the spring of 2026. Any funding commitment will be dependent on meeting U.S. EXIM’s underwriting criteria, authorization process, finalization and satisfaction of terms and conditions. The amount and timing of such funding from U.S. EXIM, if any, is uncertain and subject to conditions outside the Company’s control. We believe our Project financing plans will be successful, although there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete all of its contemplated plans because these plans are not entirely within our control as of the date hereof. As such, Perpetua remains open to strategic funding opportunities that support Perpetua’s overall financing and development goals for the Project, which may include the issuance of additional equity, new debt, or project specific debt; government funding; offtake, royalty or streaming arrangements; and/or other financing or strategic opportunities. The future receipt of potential funding from these and/or other means cannot be considered certain at this time. In the event Project funding is not available in the amounts or at the times anticipated, the Company may defer certain activities to ensure available cash resources are sufficient to satisfy the Company anticipated expenses until such full project financing is in place. Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of share purchase options and vesting and distribution of awarded share units, if dilutive. The Company’s potential dilutive common shares include outstanding share purchase options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and deferred share units (“DSUs”). Potentially dilutive shares as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, are as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | September 30,
​ |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Share purchase options | ​ | 353,000 | ​ | 946,209
Share units (RSU, PSU, DSU) | ​ | 1,638,215 | ​ | 2,260,750
Balance |  | 1,991,215 | ​ | 3,206,959
​ All potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their exercise and conversion would be anti-dilutive.
