Senate Joint Memorial No. 103 expresses the support of the Idaho Legislature for the Stibnite Gold Project, which aims to redevelop the Stibnite Mining District in central Idaho. This project is significant due to its potential to produce critical minerals, particularly antimony, which is essential for national defense and currently dominated by foreign suppliers. The memorial highlights the historical importance of the mining district, its environmental challenges due to past mining practices, and the efforts made by Perpetua Resources to address these issues through responsible mining practices and community engagement. The project is expected to create jobs, improve local infrastructure, and contribute to the state's economy while also enhancing environmental conditions.

The memorial calls on the Trump administration and Idaho state agencies to prioritize the permitting process for the Stibnite Gold Project to ensure its timely development. It emphasizes the importance of securing a domestic mineral supply chain while maintaining environmental stewardship. The resolution also requests that state and federal agencies expedite permitting for other critical mineral projects in the U.S. The Legislature intends to send copies of this memorial to various federal and state officials to advocate for the project's advancement.
