Information regarding each individual grant is as follows:

DPA Grant: On December 16, 2022, the Company entered into an undefinitized TIA with the DOW - Air Force Research Laboratory for an award of up to $24.8 million under Title III of the DPA. On July 25, 2023, the TIA was definitized with the

DOW, establishing the full not-to-exceed amount of $24.8 million and on May 2, 2024, the TIA was modified with an additional $34.4 million in funding, bringing the total amount of the TIA to $59.2 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded grant income of $nil and $6.1 million, respectively, for certain costs incurred. The TIA expired on June 16, 2025. All available funds under the TIA were disbursed and no additional funds are available under the program.

DOW Ordnance Technology Consortium (“DOTC”) Grant: On August 18, 2023, the Company was awarded an Ordnance Technology Initiative Agreement (“OTIA”) of up to $15.5 million under the Prototype Other Transaction Authority of the DOW through the DOTC. On May 28, 2025, the Company was awarded up to $6.9 million in additional funding by the DOTC under the OTIA. The funding objective of the OTIA is to demonstrate a fully domestic antimony trisulfide supply chain using ore from the Stibnite Gold Project. The OTIA designates funding to the Company to conduct activities to meet this objective, including obtaining additional core samples from the Project site, conducting a pilot plant study to produce mil-spec antimony trisulfide from the samples, designing a full-scale process circuit, and delivering a modular pilot plant for the DOW to use in further investigations. Under the OTIA, the Company will be reimbursed for these activities on a cost-plus fixed fee basis over the 24-month period of performance. The current estimated amount is $22.4 million, which is subject to adjustment by the DOW based on scope, costs, budget, or other factors as the program advances. Perpetua will be entitled to reimbursement for all costs incurred under the agreement, with the negotiated fee being 12%. The OTIA contains customary terms and conditions for OTIAs, including ongoing reporting obligations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded grant income of $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for certain costs incurred and the 12% fee income earned on costs incurred.
