FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information and statement contained in this presentation that are not historical facts are "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "Forward-Looking Information") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward Looking Information includes, but is not limited to, information concerning the Company's business including but not limited to statements with respect to results of the FS (as defined below);disclosure regarding possible events, conditions or financial performance that is based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action; the timing and impact of future activities on the Project, including but not limited to the ability to address legacy features left by previous operators; the anticipated economic, environmental and other benefits of the Project; the viability of the Project; development and operating costs in the event that a production decision is made; success of exploration, development and environmental protection, closure and remediation activities; permitting time lines and requirements; requirements for additional capital; requirements for additional water rights and the potential effect of proposed notices of environmental conditions relating to mineral claims; risks and opportunities associated with the Project; planned exploration and development of properties and the results thereof; planned expenditures, production schedules and budgets and the execution thereof. Statements concerning mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates may also constitute Forward-Looking Information to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that may be encountered if the Stibnite Gold Project is developed. In preparing the Forward-Looking Information herein, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, that any additional financing needed will be available on reasonable terms; the exchange rates for the U.S. and Canadian currencies will be consistent with the Company's expectations; that the current exploration, development, environmental and other objectives concerning the Stibnite Gold Project can be achieved and that its other corporate activities will proceed as expected; that the current price and demand for gold and antimony will be sustained or will improve; that general business and economic conditions will not change in a materially adverse manner and that all necessary governmental approvals for planned activities on the Stibnite Gold Project will be obtained in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; the continuity of the price of gold and other metals, economic and political conditions and operations; that the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, although evolving, will stabilize or at least not worsen; and the assumptions set out in the FS. Forward-Looking Information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Forward-Looking Information. Such risks and other factors include, among others, the industry-wide risks and project-specific risks identified in the FS; risks related to the availability of financing; operations and contractual obligations; changes in exploration programs based upon results of exploration; changes in estimated mineral reserves or mineral resources; future prices of metals and minerals; availability of personnel and equipment equipment; equipment failure; accidents, effects of weather and other natural phenomena and other risks associated with the mineral exploration industry; environmental risks, including environmental matters under US federal and Idaho rules and regulations; impact of environmental remediation requirements and the terms of existing and potential consent decrees on the Company's planned exploration and development activities on the Project; certainty of mineral title; community relations; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing; the Company's dependence on one mineral project; the nature of mineral exploration and mining and the uncertain commercial viability; the Company's lack of operating revenues; governmental regulations and the ability to obtain necessary licenses and permits; risks related to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and other defects in title to mineral projects; currency fluctuations; changes in environmental laws and regulations and changes in the application of standards pursuant to existing laws and regulations; risks related to dependence on key personnel; COVID-19 risks to employee health and safety and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak; and estimates used in budgeting and financial statements proving to be incorrect; as well as those factors discussed in the Company's public disclosure record. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could affect the Company and may cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in Forward-Looking Information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that Forward-Looking Information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on Forward-Looking Information. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update the Forward-Looking Information herein.

Cautionary Note and Technical Disclosure

The presentation has been prepared by Perpetua Resources management and does not represent a recommendation to buy or sell these securities. Investors should always consult their investment advisors prior to making any investment decisions.

All references to "dollars" or "$" shall mean United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

The material scientific and technical information in respect of the Stibnite Gold Project in this presentation, unless otherwise indicated, is based upon information contained in the technical report titled "Stibnite Gold Project, Feasibility Study Technical Report, Valley County, Idaho" dated effective December 22, 2020 and issued January 27, 2021 (the "FS" or "2020 Feasibility Study").

Perpetua Resources is estimated to produce ~30% of U.S. annual demand1

U.S. CRITICAL MINERALS SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

  • Antimony is one of 35 federally listed critical minerals

  • China & Russia dominate the world antimony supply (>80%)

  • U.S. has no domestic antimony production

  • Perpetua Resources could re-establish domestic antimony production and protect America's future

"Critical Minerals" are metals and non-metals essential to economic and national security and are vulnerable to supply chain disruptions

  • North East of Yellow Pine Deposit

  • Below Hangar Flats pit & Old Defense Minerals Exploration Act (DMEA) working area

  • West End along strike and at dept

PRIORITY DEPOSITS:

  • High grade targets (Garnet, Scout, Upper Midnight)

  • Bulk tonnage targets (Cinnamid-Ridgetop, Saddle-Fern, Rabit)

  • Undefined airborne targets (Mule, Salt & Pepper, Blow-out)

* Some of the prospects are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

EXTENSIVE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

COMMITTMENT TO EARLY RESTORATION

ADMINISTRATIVE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND ORDER ON CONSENT (ASAOC)

An ASAOC is necessary to allow a third-party to voluntarily address environmental conditions at an abandoned mine site without inheriting the liability of the conditions left behind by past operators.

  • January 15, 2021: Signed ASAOC with the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Forest Service with concurrence of the U.S. Department of Justice, to perform agreed early actions to improve water quality conditions at Stibnite

  • Engagement: The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and two Idaho Tribes were involved in process, multiple government-to-government consultations

  • Multiple Phases: Immediate, time-critical needs are addressed first over 4 years; then should Stibnite Gold Project be permitted, and all parties agree, the Agreement allows for a comprehensive site cleanup

ASAOC only provides for clean up activity of legacy waste and is separate from the NEPA process reviewing the Stibnite Gold Project

RESTORING AN ABANDONED BROWNFIELDS SITE

ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS FUNDED THROUGH MINE DEVELOPMENT

Early repair of the largest source of sedimentation

Pick up, reprocess, reuse and safely store 10.5M tons of tailings and spent ore

Re-establish fish migration and provide permanent river restoration

IMPROVING A LEGACY

CLOSURE PLAN: POST MINING LAND USES INCLUDE WILDLIFE, FISHERIES & DISPERSED RECREATION

  • Create a self-sustaining natural environment

  • Support healthy fish and wildlife population

  • Significant concurrent reclamation & restoration

  • Revegetation, reforestation & wetland mitigation

  • Address historical impacts from legacy mining

  • 10+ year post-operations closure period

  • 25 years of water treatment estimated

REGULATORY INFORMATION

The FS was compiled by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation ("M3") in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") under the direction of independent qualified persons (as defined in NI 43-101) ("Independent QPs"). Independent QPs for the FS include: Richard Zimmerman, SME-RM (onsite and offsite infrastructure, cost estimating and financial modeling) and Art Ibrado, P.E. (mineral processing) with M3; Garth Kirkham, P.Geo. (mineral resources) with Kirkham Geosystems Ltd.; Christopher Martin, C.Eng.

(metallurgy) with Blue Coast Metallurgy Ltd.; Grenvil Dunn, C.Eng. (hydrometallurgy) with Hydromet WA (Pty) Ltd.; Chris Roos, P.E. (mineral reserves) and Scott Rosenthal P.E. (mine planning) with Value Consulting, Inc.; and Peter Kowalewski, P.E. (tailings storage facility and closure) with Tierra Group International, Ltd.

The material scientific and technical information in respect of the Project in this presentation, unless otherwise indicated, is based upon information contained in the FS. Readers are encouraged to read the FS, which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR, for detailed information concerning the Project. All disclosure contained in this presentation regarding the mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates and economic analysis on the property is fully qualified by the full disclosure contained in the FS.

Information of a scientific or technical nature in this presentation has been approved by Austin Zinsser, SME-RM, Sr. Resource Geologist for Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. and a qualified person (as defined in Ni 43-101).

All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with CIM definitions. Mineral resources are reported in relation to a conceptual pit shell to demonstrate potential for economic viability, as required under NI 43-101; mineralization lying outside of these pit shells is not reported as a mineral resource. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources.

The mineral resources and mineral reserves at the Stibnite Gold Project are contained within areas that have seen historic disturbance resulting from prior mining activities. In order for the Company to advance its interests at the Stibnite Gold Project, the Project will be subject to a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations and will require permits to conduct its activities.

NON-IFRS REPORTING MEASURES

"Cash Costs", "All-in Sustaining Costs" and "Total costs" are not performance measures reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These performance measures are included because the statistics are key performance measures that management uses to monitor performance. Management uses these statistics to assess how the Project ranks against its peer projects and to assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the contemplated mining operations. These performance measures do not have a meaning within IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. These performance measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance reported in accordance with IFRS.
