Perpetua Resources ( (PPTA) ) has provided an update.

On February 28, 2026, Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. and engineering contractor Hatch Ltd. amended their existing engineering, procurement and construction management agreement for the Stibnite Gold Project to formally add design and installation of the project’s pressure-oxidation and oxygen system to Hatch’s scope. The amendment also updates the contract price framework and establishes a total control budget of $204.3 million, including $42.0 million for the pressure-oxidation and oxygen system, though these figures are not a guaranteed maximum and may change as detailed work progresses.

The revised agreement introduces a detailed process guarantee with defined testing and acceptance protocols, along with potential liquidated damages or bonus payments tied to performance against agreed parameters, while requiring Hatch to remedy any defects before final acceptance. These changes are structured to give Perpetua and its potential project finance lenders greater clarity on cost monitoring, performance standards and risk allocation for the Stibnite Gold Project’s construction phase without materially altering the overall contract price.

The most recent analyst rating on (PPTA) stock is a Buy with a $41.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Perpetua Resources stock, see the PPTA Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PPTA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PPTA is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by pre-revenue financial performance and ongoing cash burn, despite a strong low-leverage balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with a strong uptrend, and corporate updates indicate meaningful progress on project execution and funding, but valuation remains challenged due to continued losses.
