Perpetua Lands Up to $40M in Army Funding for Domestic Tungsten
PPTA is trading near its 52-week low of $16.045 (2.7% above the low).
Summary
Perpetua was awarded up to $40 million in U.S. Army funding to advance domestic tungsten supply for American defense. The award lands alongside an 8-K filed minutes earlier disclosing a separate Army cost-share agreement worth up to roughly $85 million to evaluate tungsten production at Stibnite. For a company with a market value around $2 billion, $40 million of non-dilutive government money is meaningful validation of the tungsten side of the Stibnite story, not just the gold. The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $16.05, so any hard government commitment on critical minerals is a real change in the narrative. Watch Stibnite construction progress and the Q3 filing for how the Army programs are booked.
