Perpetua Resources Corp.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited,expressed in US dollars)

1. Nature of Operations

Perpetua Resources Corp. (the “Corporation” or “Perpetua Resources”, formerly Midas Gold Corp.) was incorporated on February 22, 2011 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Corporation was organized to hold shares in wholly owned subsidiaries that locate, acquire, develop and restore mineral properties located principally in the Stibnite – Yellow Pine mining district in Valley County, Idaho, USA. The Corporation’s principal asset is 100% ownership in subsidiaries that control the Stibnite Gold Project (“Stibnite Gold Project” or the “Project”). The Corporation currently operates in one segment, mineral exploration in the United States. The registered office of the Perpetua Resources is 400-725 Granville St, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1G5, Canada and the corporate office is located at 201-405 S 8^th^ St, Boise ID 83702, USA.

2. Basis of Preparation
a. Statement of Compliance
--- ---

The generally accepted accounting principles that we use are International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS-IASB). Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the IASB.

b. Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historic cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

On January 27, 2021, the Corporation completed a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse share split of all of its issued and outstanding common shares (“Share Consolidation”), resulting in a reduction of the issued and outstanding shares from 474,811,340 to 47,481,134. Shares reserved under the Corporation’s equity and incentive plans were adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation. All share and per share data presented in the Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation unless otherwise noted.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements is based on the accounting policies consistent with those applied to the consolidated financial statements of Perpetua Resources for the year ended December 31, 2020.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all information required for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Perpetua Resources for the year ended December 31, 2020.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors on August 13, 2021.

c. COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of non-essential businesses, did not materially disrupt the Corporation’s operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited, expressed in US dollars)

2. Basis of Preparation (continued)

Due to the rapid developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is not possible to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, financial position and operating results in the future. The Corporation is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

3. Leases

The Corporation leases building space in Vancouver, BC, Donnelly, ID and Boise, ID. The Corporation is utilizing an incremental borrowing rate of 10% for calculating the related lease liabilities and Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets. In April 2021, the Corporation subleased its Vancouver office for the remainder of the original lease term and classified the sublease as a finance lease. As such, the Corporation derecognized the ROU asset for the Vancouver office while retaining the liability of the head lease.

4. Environmental Reclamation Liability
--- ---

On January 15, 2021 the company agreed to an Administrative Settlement and Order on Consent (“ASAOC”). The company has accounted for their obligation under the ASAOC as an environmental reclamation liability. Upon the signing of the ASAOC, the Company recorded an immediate expense of $7.6 million and a corresponding environmental reclamation liability. The provision for the liability associated with the terms of the ASAOC is based on cost estimates developed with the use of engineering consultants, independent contractor quotes and the Company’s internal development team and is recognized at the present value of such costs. The timing of cash flows is based on the current schedule for early action items which remain subject to approval. The inflation rate of 1.9% used for the current quarter is calculated as the ten-year average Consumer Price Index for U.S. cities as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The present value of the environmental reclamation liability may be subject to change based on changes to scope of work, cost estimates, and the timing of cash flows and is adjusted each quarter for accretion and actual work performed. Movements in the environmental reclamation liability during the six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows:

Environmental<br> Reclamation Liability
Balance, December 31, 2020 $ -
Additions 7,557,784
Work performed on early action items (525,205 )
Accretion 18,329
Current $ 2,598,107
Non – Current 4,452,801
Total balance as of June 30, 2021 $ 7,050,908

The company paid $3 million in cash collateral for a surety bond related to the ASAOC statement of work during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

5. Convertible Notes

On March 17, 2016, the Corporation issued unsecured convertible notes (the “2016 Notes”) for gross proceeds of $38.5 (C$50.0) million and a maturity date of March 17, 2023. On March 17, 2020, the Corporation issued a second round of unsecured convertible notes (the “2020 Notes”) for gross proceeds of $35.0 (C$47.6) million and a maturity date of March 17, 2027. Both sets of notes, collectively the “Convertible Notes”, have identical features and bear interest at a rate of 0.05% per annum, payable annually in cash or common shares (at the Corporation’s election) or added to the principal and payable on maturity. Upon maturity, and for each set of notes, the outstanding principal amount is due and payable in cash unless converted in advance of that date. The holders of the Convertible Notes may convert any portion of their Convertible Notes at any time prior to the maturity date into common shares of the Corporation, at a price of C$3.541 per share for the 2016 Notes and a price of C$4.655 for the 2020 Notes.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited, expressed in US dollars)

5. Convertible Notes (continued)

If there is an equity financing completed at 95% of the conversion price, or below, the conversion price is adjusted downward. The Convertible Notes can be redeemed by the Corporation after four years with not

more than 60-days written notice and not less than 30-days written notice when the Corporation’s common shares reach a volume weighted average trading price for 20 consecutive trading days of C$7.082 or higher

for the 2016 Notes and C$9.31 or higher for the 2020 Notes. Following the notice of redemption, but prior to the redemption date, the holders may convert their Convertible Notes to be redeemed into common shares at the then-current conversion price.

The terms for the 2020 Notes were announced on March 10, 2020, for gross proceeds of $35.0 million at a USD:CAD exchange rate of 1:1.36 (C$47.6 million due and payable upon maturity). The 2020 Notes were issued on March 17, 2020, with a USD:CAD exchange rate of 1:1.42; this movement resulted in a foreign exchange gain on the date of issuance.

Each set of Convertible Notes are deemed to contain an embedded derivative (collectively, the “Convertible Note Derivatives”) relating to the conversion option. The Convertible Note Derivatives were valued upon initial recognition at fair value using partial differential equation methods. At inception, for each set of notes, the face value of the notes was reduced by the estimated fair value of the related convertible note derivative and the transaction costs. See below for additional detail of initial value upon issuance of each set of notes:

2020 Notes 2016 Notes
Gross proceeds upon issuance $ 35,000,000 $ 38,508,431
Foreign exchange gain (1,419,753 ) -
Face value of convertible note $ 33,580,247 $ 38,508,431
Estimated fair value of embedded derivative (17,197,994 ) (19,771,572 )
Transaction costs (213,575 ) (429,723 )
Convertible note liability, net $ 16,168,678 $ 18,307,136

On August 26, 2020, convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of C$82,102,500 (C$34,502,500 of the 2016 Notes and C$47,600,000 for all 2020 Notes), were converted for 19,969,280 common shares of Perpetua Resources.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of C$15,386,884 of the 2016 Notes were converted for 4,345,350 common shares of Perpetua Resources.

The remaining 2016 Notes are measured at amortized cost and will be accreted to maturity over the term using the effective interest method. The fair value of the remaining 2016 Notes at maturity is $0.02 million (C$0.02 million) based on the exchange rate at June 30, 2021 (2020 - $36.6 million (C$49.9 million)).

6. ConvertibleNote Derivatives
--- ---

Convertible Note Derivatives related to the Convertible Notes (Note 5) were valued upon initial recognition at fair value using partial differential equation methods and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at each period end through the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. The components of the Convertible Note Derivatives are summarized as follows:

Convertible Note<br> <br>Derivative
Balance, December 31, 2020 $ 26,060,446
Fair value adjustment (5,692,913 )
Foreign exchange adjustments 571,516
Conversions (20,907,123 )
Balance, June 30, 2021 $ 31,926

The fair value of the Convertible Note Derivatives was calculated using partial differential equation methods. The assumptions used in the valuation model include the following, with a change in share price having the most significant impact on the valuation:

June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Risk-free interest rate 0.4 % 0.2 %
Expected term (in years) 1.7 2.2
Share Price C$ 9.08 C$ 12.20

7. Warrant Derivative
--- ---

In May 2013, the Corporation issued to Franco Nevada Corporation (“Franco”) 200,000 share purchase warrants (“Franco Warrants”). The Franco Warrants are exercisable into 200,000 common shares of the Corporation at C$12.30 per warrant. The Franco Warrants contain a mandatory conversion feature which requires Franco to exercise 100% of the outstanding warrants if, at any time, the volume weighted average trading price of Perpetua Resources’ common shares is equal to or greater than C$32.30 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Franco Warrants expire on May 9, 2023.

7. Warrant Derivative (continued)

The exercise price of the Franco Warrants is denominated in Canadian dollars; however, the functional currency of the Corporation is the US dollar. As a result of this difference in currencies, the proceeds that will be received by the Corporation are not fixed and will vary based on foreign exchange rates and the warrants being a derivative are required to be recognized and measured at fair value at each reporting period. Any changes in fair value from period to period are recorded as a non-cash gain or loss in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. Upon exercise, the holders will pay the Corporation the respective exercise price for each warrant exercised in exchange for one common share of Perpetua Resources and the fair value at the date of exercise and the associated non-cash liability will be reclassified to share capital. The non-cash liability associated with any warrants that expire unexercised will be recorded as a gain in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. There are no circumstances in which the Corporation would be required to pay any cash upon exercise or expiry of the warrants.

A reconciliation of the change in fair values of the derivative is below:

Fair Value of Warrant Derivative
Balance, December 31, 2020 $ 874,864
Change in fair value of warrant derivative (365,232 )
Balance, June 30, 2021 $ 509,632

The fair value of the Franco Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The inputs used in the Black-Scholes valuation model are:

June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Share price C$ 9.08 C$ 12.20
Exercise price C$ 12.30 C$ 12.30

OVERVIEW

Perpetua Resources (formerly Midas Gold Corp) was incorporated on February 22, 2011 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Corporation was organized to hold shares in wholly owned subsidiaries that locate, acquire, develop and restore mineral properties located principally in the Stibnite – Yellow Pine mining district in Valley County, Idaho, USA. The Corporation’s principal asset is 100% ownership in subsidiaries that control the Stibnite Gold Project (“Stibnite Gold Project” or the “Project”). The Corporation currently operates in one segment, mineral exploration in the United States. The registered office of the Perpetua Resources is 400-725 Granville St, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1G5, Canada and the corporate office is located at 201-405 S 8^th^ St, Boise, ID 83702, USA.

QUARTERHIGHLIGHTS

On April 12, 2021, the Corporation announced that it is advancing its ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) goals to further bring transparency to its Stibnite Gold Project by participating in a water quality monitoring program led by local citizens. The Independent Water Monitoring Program (IWMP) is an initiative of the Stibnite Advisory Council, which represents eight local communities surrounding the proposed Stibnite Gold Project. The initiative is designed to promote accountability measures around Perpetua Resources’ existing water quality monitoring efforts and give the community access to independent information through conducting third-party data gathering and reporting. The Stibnite Advisory Council will contract with the University of Idaho’s Water Resources Research Institute to undertake the independent water quality monitoring and reporting. The Stibnite Advisory Council plans to monitor ground and surface water at 18 different locations throughout the site.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 1

On May 3, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had signed a collaboration agreement (the “USAC Agreement”) with United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC”) to study the potential for processing the Stibnite Gold Project’s antimony concentrate at USAC’s processing facilities. It is estimated the Stibnite Gold Project has the potential to supply approximately 35 percent of American antimony demand in the first six years of production. The USAC Agreement outlines a plan for the Corporation to send samples of Stibnite’s antimony concentrate to the facilities owned by USAC to study the viability of entering into a long-term partnership to secure the domestic sourcing of the critical mineral antimony.

On June 7, 2021 the Corporation announced that as part of the annual reconstitution of the Russell stock indexes, Perpetua Resources will be included in the Russell 2000® Index and the broad-market Russell 3000® Index effective after the U.S. market opens on June 28, 2021. Membership in the Russell 2000® Index means automatic inclusion in the broader Russell 3000® Index as well as in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. The Russell 3000® Index encompasses the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes. Membership in these indexes is updated annually and remains in place for one year. The Russell U.S. Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.

As of June 9, 2021, certain holders of the outstanding 0.05% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes (the “2016 Notes”) issued by a subsidiary of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of Canadian $15,386,885 exercised the conversion feature on the 2016 Notes for a total of 4,345,350 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of Canadian $3.541 per share. The 2016 Notes were issued in a financing completed by the Company on March 17, 2016.

Subsequentevents

On July 1, 2021, the Corporation announced that the United States Forest Service (USFS) is advancing Perpetua Resources’ modified proposed action in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and updated the permitting schedule for the Stibnite Gold Project (the Project). The Project is designed to use responsible mining to develop a world-class gold mine, restore an abandoned mine site, provide the United States with the only domestic source of the critical mineral antimony and contribute to the economic success of Idaho. Perpetua Resources’ modified proposed action was submitted to USFS in December 2020 as the “Modified Plan of Restoration and Operations 2” (ModPRO2) and represents refinements to Alternative 2 of the August 2020 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The refined plan incorporates stakeholder feedback on the DEIS and is designed to reduce the project footprint and improve environmental outcomes. Modifications include the elimination of waste rock storage areas, overall reductions in mined material, additional pit backfilling and restoration, and improvements to water quality and water temperature. The USFS’s decision advances Perpetua Resources’ improved and preferred Project design in the NEPA process and sets the Project on a clear path to a final permitting decision. In order to ensure a full analysis of the refined Project, the USFS plans to issue a targeted Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) and provide the public and cooperating agencies the opportunity to review and comment on the additional analysis. The Project schedule update includes that the SDEIS will be released in Q1 2022, a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and draft Record of Decision will be published in Q4 2022, and a final Record of Decision will be issued in the first half of 2023.

On August 9, 2021, the Corporation announced it entered into an agreement (the “Ambri Agreement”) to supply a portion of antimony production from the Stibnite Gold Project to Ambri Inc. (“Ambri”) thus establishing the foundation to help facilitate the decarbonization of energy grids in the U.S. and around the world. Ambri has developed an antimony-based, low-cost liquid metal battery for the stationary, long-duration, daily cycling energy storage market. Under the Ambri Agreement, Perpetua’s Stibnite Gold Project will provide Ambri with antimony from the only responsible and domestically mined source of the critical mineral in the U.S. The Ambri Agreement contains certain standard commercial terms which contain options for treatment, refining, transport, and tolling charges as well as a provision for fixed pricing and higher volumes that can be mutually agreed to by both parties. Perpetua and Ambri will also collaborate to identify opportunities to lower carbon emissions in their respective operations with the use of renewable energy combined with battery storage.

On August 13, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters to sell 9,523,810 common shares at a price of US$5.25 per common share for gross proceeds of approximately US$50 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering to continue permitting, early restoration and field operations, engineering and design and general corporate purposes. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Offered Shares after deducting the Underwriters' Fee of approximately US$2.2 million and the estimated expenses relating to the Offering of approximately US$0.6 million, are estimated to be approximately US$47.2 million. In addition, Perpetua has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,428,572 common shares. The Offering is expected to close on or about August 17, 2021.

2021OUTLOOK AND GOALS

The forward-looking information contained in this section is subject to the risk factors and assumptions contained in the “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risks and Uncertainties” sections in this MD&A.

Perpetua Resources’ vision is to provide the United States with a domestic source of the critical mineral antimony, operate one of the largest and highest-grade open pit gold mines in the country and restore and redevelop an abandoned brownfield site. In 2021, Perpetua Resources continues to focus on advancing through the permitting process for the Stibnite Gold Project (“Project”) under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”). Perpetua Resources will continue to engage and consult with regulators, communities, tribes and other stakeholders regarding the Project as originally set out in the Plan of Restoration and Operations (“PRO”) to ensure that plans for the restoration and redevelopment of the Project address concerns and issues to the extent environmentally, technically and commercially feasible. The NEPA process is intended to ensure that federal agencies and the public are informed of a proposed action’s potential environmental impacts before making final decisions regarding the action. The rigorous scientific analysis during the preparation of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and the comments from the public and cooperating agencies provided during the extended 75-day public comment period brought forward concepts that could improve the environmental outcomes of the Project. Perpetua Resources listened to this feedback, evaluated the feasibility and potential benefits of these concepts, and submitted a modified proposed action to the United States Forest Service (USFS) in December 2020 as the “Modified Plan of Restoration and Operations 2” (ModPRO2), representing refinements to Alternative 2 of the August 2020 DEIS. The refined plan incorporates stakeholder feedback on the DEIS and is designed to reduce the project footprint and improve potential environmental impacts.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 5

On July 1, 2021, the USFS confirmed it is advancing Perpetua Resources’ modified proposed action in the NEPA process and updated the permitting schedule for the Project. Importantly, the USFS will focus on Perpetua Resources’ ModPRO2 and the two identified access routes for the remainder of the NEPA process, eliminating DEIS Alternatives 1 and 3 from further consideration. In order to ensure a full analysis of the refined Project, the USFS plans to issue a targeted SDEIS and provide the public and cooperating agencies the opportunity to review and comment on the additional analysis. The major permitting milestones and schedule for the Project include that the SDEIS is expected to be released in Q1 2022, a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and draft Record of Decision is expected to be published in Q4 2022, and a final Record of Decision is expected in the first half of 2023.

The Corporation continues to balance the timing and prioritization of expenditures with the intention of delivering the Corporation’s major objectives in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Net loss and comprehensive loss for Perpetua Resources for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 was $14.3 million and $19.1 million, respectively, compared with loss of $43.9 million and $44.5 million for the corresponding periods of 2020. This $25.4 million decrease for the six-month period was primarily attributable to a $35.9 million decrease in non-cash losses related to the change in fair value of the convertible note derivative, a $1.9 million decrease in finance costs, and $0.4 million decrease in non-cash losses related to the change in fair value of the warrant derivative. These reductions were offset by a $6.3 million increase in exploration and evaluation expenses, $3.0 million increase in foreign exchange loss, a $1.8 million increase in share-based compensation, a $0.8 million increase in office and administrative, a $0.2 million increase in shareholder and regulatory, a $0.1 million increase in professional fees, a $0.2 million increase in consulting, a $0.3 million increase in corporate salaries and benefits, and a $0.1 million decrease in interest income. As noted above, for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021, the Corporation’s main focus was the continued evaluation and advancement of the Stibnite Gold Project. An analysis of each line item follows.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 6

Accretion

This expense relates to the accretion on the environmental reclamation liabilities. The expense for the current quarter is higher than the comparable period in the previous year as this is a new liability in the current year.

Consulting

This expense relates to consulting services provided to the Corporation that do not relate to the exploration and evaluation of the Stibnite Gold Project. The expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is higher than the comparable period in 2020 due to consulting work to support various corporate activities advanced in the first quarter of 2021, including the share consolidation and listing on the NASDAQ.

CorporateSalaries and Benefits

This expense results from salaries and benefits of the employees that are not directly related to the exploration and evaluation of the Stibnite Gold Project, primarily corporate employees. Salaries and benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are higher than the prior period due to the closure of the Vancouver office and related severance payments made for corporate employees.

Depreciation

This expense relates to the depreciation of the Corporation’s building and equipment. The expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is consistent with the comparable period in the previous year.

Directors’Fees

Each of the Corporation’s non-executive directors is entitled to annual base fees paid in quarterly installments, with the independent Lead Director, Chairs of Board Committees and Members of Board Committees receiving additional fees commensurate with each role. This expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is higher than the comparable period in the previous year due to corporate directors electing to not receive cash payments for fees in the first quarter in exchange for shares in the Company which were accrued for in the second quarter after the new omnibus stock option plan was approved.

Explorationand Evaluation

This expense relates to all exploration and evaluation expenditures related to the Stibnite Gold Project, including labour, drilling, field office costs, engineering, permitting, environmental and legal and sustainability costs and costs related to the Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (ASAOC) signed earlier this year to voluntarily address environmental conditions at the abandoned mine site. The Corporation’s exploration and evaluation expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021 are higher than the same period in the prior year primarily due to the addition of ASAOC expenses. Additional details of expenditures incurred are as follows:

Three<br> Months Ended Six<br> Months Ended
June 30,<br> 2021 June 30,<br> 2020 June 30,<br> 2021 June 30,<br> 2020
Exploration<br> and Evaluation Expenditures
ASAOC $ 89,568 $ - $ 7,644,103 $ -
Consulting<br> and labor cost 1,110,731 1,371,493 2,2675,664 2,565,170

Permitting 2,952,434 4,161,852 5,541,388 7,233,892
Exploration<br> and Evaluation Expense $ 5,588,614 $ 6,783,150 $ 18,525,322 $ 12,275,198

Officeand Administrative

This expense is predominantly insurance policies for both the Vancouver and US offices. The costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are higher than the comparative period in the prior year primarily due to insurance related to the US listing.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 7

ProfessionalFees

This expense relates to the legal and accounting costs of the Corporation. The costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are higher than the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to legal work on various organization changes implemented earlier this year including the share consolidation and Nasdaq listing. The costs for the current quarter are consistent with the comparative period in the prior year.

ShareBased Compensation

This expense is due to the compensation of directors, officers, employees and consultants that are share based. Share based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is $1.8 million higher than the comparative period in 2020 due to 0.6 million more options granted during 2021 and an increase in stock price on the grant date over the previous year. The fair value of options granted is estimated at the time of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which uses various assumptions that are outlined in the Corporation’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Shareholderand Regulatory

This expense is associated with marketing, licenses and fees, and shareholder communications. The expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is higher than the comparative periods from the prior year primarily due to an increase in fees related to the US listing.

Traveland Related Costs

This expense is a result of travel and meal costs of the Corporation’s directors, officers, employees and consultants whilst undertaking business on behalf of the Corporation. The expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is lower than the comparable periods in the previous year due to the impact of COVID-19 travel and entertainment restrictions currently in place throughout the world.

Changein Fair Value of Warrant Derivative

The Corporation issued 200,000 warrants in a financing transaction in May 2013, with an exercise price denominated in Canadian dollars. The Corporation determined that warrants with an exercise price denominated in a currency that is different from the entity’s functional currency should be classified as a derivative and carried at their fair value. Any changes in their fair value from period to period have been recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. There are no circumstances under which Perpetua Resources will be required to pay cash upon exercise or expiry of the warrants or finder’s options (see Note 7 in the Interim Financial Statements).

Changein Fair Value of Convertible Note Derivative Liability

The Corporation issued unsecured Convertible Notes with an interest rate of 0.05% per annum in March 2016 and March 2020 (together, the “Convertible Notes”) with an exercise price denominated in Canadian dollars. The Corporation determined that the Convertible Notes with an exercise price denominated in a currency that is different from the entity’s functional currency should be classified as a derivative and carried at their fair value. Any changes in their fair value from inception to balance sheet date have been recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. The convertible note derivative is valued at fair value in accordance with IFRS. The decrease in fair value is due to the conversion of Convertible Notes during the quarter. During the quarter, Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of C$15,386,884 of the 2016 Notes were converted for 4,345,350 common shares of Perpetua Resources at a conversion rate of $3.541 per common share. The remaining 6,500 shares issuable under the conversion terms of the Convertible Notes are expected to be converted in the next quarter. There are no circumstances in which the Corporation would be required to pay cash upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (see Note 6 in the Interim Financial Statements).

FinanceCosts

Finance costs for the Corporation include accretion and interest expense related to the 2016 Notes and 2020 Notes described above, accretion expense related to the ASAOC environmental reclamation liability, transaction costs related to the 2020 Notes issued in March 2020 and interest expense on lease liabilities. These costs are lower than the comparable period in the previous year due to notes converted in August 2020 and transaction costs on 2020 Notes upon issuance.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 8

ForeignExchange

Changes in foreign exchange are driven by the change in value of the Canadian Dollar compared to the US Dollar. This loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is a result of the translation of the Corporation’s Canadian dollar denominated balances as of June 30, 2021, primarily on the Convertible Notes and the convertible note derivatives.

InterestIncome

This income results from interest received on the Corporation’s cash balances. Interest income decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of lower average cash balances.

BalanceSheet

An analysis of the June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 statements of financial position of the Corporation follows.

TotalAssets

Total assets decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $98.1 million to $84.1 million primarily as a result of cash used in operations to fund the Stibnite Gold Project.

Equity

Equity increased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $57.6 million to $72.8 million primarily as a result of the conversion of the majority of the 2016 Notes in the aggregate amount of C$15,386,884 and the related movement in the convertible note derivatives, stock options issued under the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan and the exercise of options during the quarter.

TotalLiabilities

Total liabilities decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $40.5 million to $11.3 million primarily as a result of the conversion of the majority of the 2016 Notes during the current quarter and the associated adjustment to the related convertible note derivatives, discussed in the Quarter Highlights section, which was partially offset by a $7.1 million increase due to the addition of the ASAOC liability. The convertible note derivative is valued at fair value in accordance with IFRS. There are no circumstances in which the Corporation would be required to pay cash upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (see Notes 5 and 6 in the Financial Statements).

CashFlows

Perpetua Resources’ net change in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was an outflow of $6.3 million (2020 – $6.6 million outflow). The net change in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was an outflow of $16.5 million (2020 - $21.4 million inflow).

Operating cash outflows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $6.3 million and $13.9 million respectively (2020 - $6.7 million and $13.9 million, respectively), Investing cash outflows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $0.1 and $3.0 million, respectively (2020 – nil and $0.2 million cash inflow, respectively) and Financing cash inflows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively (2020 – nil and $35.0 million, respectively).

All values are in US Dollars.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 9

The Corporation has had relatively consistent operating losses over the past eight quarters. The most significant variances to the net loss and comprehensive loss are the changes in the fair value of the warrant derivative, the convertible note derivatives and foreign exchange fluctuations on the Convertible Notes and convertible note derivatives. Exploration and evaluation expenditures create variances dependent on the nature of the work that is being completed in each quarter. The long-term liabilities include the convertible note derivatives, and the warrant derivative which are valued at fair value in accordance with IFRS. There are no circumstances in which the Corporation would be required to pay cash upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (see Note 6 in the Interim Financial Statements).

CAPITALRESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Capital resources of Perpetua Resources consist primarily of cash and liquid short-term investments. As of June 30, 2021, Perpetua Resources had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $8.5 million, approximately $0.4 million in other current assets and $3.6 million in trade and other payables.

Additionally, as discussed above in the subsequent events section, the Corporation announced that it completed a financing for gross proceeds of US$50 million to be used to continue permitting, early restoration and field operations, engineering and design and general corporate purposes.

With its current capital resources, Perpetua Resources has sufficient funds to continue to advance the regulatory process related to permitting for mine development through 2022. During 2021 and beyond, Perpetua Resources plans to:

Continue<br> engaging with Project stakeholders to provide those stakeholders with the opportunity for<br> better understanding of the Project concepts and to provide a forum for such stakeholders<br> to provide further input into the Project, possible options and alternatives;
Continue<br> to collect environmental baseline data in support of the ongoing regulatory processes related<br> to permitting for site restoration and redevelopment of the Project;
--- ---
Continue<br> to advance the regulatory process for the restoration and redevelopment of the Project, including<br> the repair of legacy impacts and operation of a modern mining and processing facility that<br> would provide a social and economic benefit to the local community and restoration of the<br> Project site.
--- ---

It is management’s opinion, based on the Corporation’s current capital resources, liquidity and the additional funding expected to close on August 17, 2021, that the Corporation will have sufficient assets to discharge its liabilities as they become due, to continue to advance the Stibnite Gold Project through 2022, and to meet its administrative and overhead requirements for more than a year.

ContractualObligations

MiningClaim Assessments

The Corporation’s affiliate currently holds mining claims on which it has an annual assessment obligation of $250,470 to maintain the claims in good standing. The Corporation is committed to these payments indefinitely. Related to the Mining Claim Assessments is a $335,000 bond related to the Corporation’s exploration activities.

StibniteFoundation

Upon formation of the Stibnite Foundation on February 26, 2019, the Corporation became contractually liable for certain future payments to the Stibnite Foundation based on several triggering events, including receipt of a positive ROD issued by the USFS, receipt of all permits and approvals necessary for commencement of construction, commencement of construction, commencement of commercial production, and commencement of the final reclamation phase. These payments could begin as early as Q2 2023 based on the current permitting schedule and range from $0.1 million to $1 million (upon commencement of final reclamation phase) in cash and 150,000 in shares. During commercial production, the Corporation will make payments to the Stibnite Foundation equal to 1% of Total Comprehensive Income less debt repayments or a minimum of $0.5 million.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 10

OptionPayments on Other Properties

The Corporation is obligated to make option payments on other properties in order to maintain an option to purchase these properties. As at June 30, 2021, the remaining option payments due on these properties are $190,000, which will be paid in 2021. The agreements include options to extend.

MINERALPROPERTIES

StibniteGold Project

The Corporation’s subsidiaries’ property holdings at the Stibnite Gold Project are comprised of a contiguous package of unpatented federal lode claims, unpatented federal mill site claims, patented federal lode claims and patented mill site claims. As of June 30, 2021, this land position encompassed approximately 11,548 hectares held in 1,518 unpatented lode and mill site claims and patented land holdings. The Corporation’s subsidiary acquired these rights through a combination of purchases and transactions and staking under the 1872 Mining Law and holds a portion under an option agreement. Bureau of Land Management claim rental payments and filings are current as of the date of this filing and the claims are all held in good standing. Normal maintenance and upkeep of the Project infrastructure continued during the quarter.

Permittingfor Redevelopment & Restoration

On December 13, 2016, the USFS reported that it had determined that the Plan of Restoration and Operations (“PRO”) filed by Midas Gold Idaho, Inc. (now Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. or “PRII”) on September 21, 2016 for the restoration, re-development and operation of the Stibnite Gold Project (“Project”) in Valley County, Idaho met the requirements for a plan of operations under USFS regulations, thus allowing the USFS to commence the formal review of the Project under National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”). The USFS completed public scoping under NEPA during the third quarter of 2017. The NEPA review is being undertaken in a coordinated process by a total of seven federal, state and local agencies under a memorandum of understanding entered into in September 2017. The NEPA process is ongoing, and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement was released for public comment on August 14, 2020 and the comment period closed on October 28, 2020, in accordance with the revised schedule. The USFS provided an updated schedule for the Project on July 1, 2021 and is focused on advancing Perpetua Resources’ modified proposed action in the NEPA process. In order to ensure a full analysis of the refined Project, the USFS plans to issue a targeted Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“SDEIS”) and provide the public and cooperating agencies the opportunity to review and comment on the additional analysis. The Project schedule update included that the SDEIS is expected to be released in Q1 2022, a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and draft Record of Decision is expected to be published in Q4 2022, and a final Record of Decision is expected to be issued in the first half of 2023. Work on other required ancillary permits and management plans continued during the reporting period.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 11

DistrictExploration

No drilling was completed during the reporting period. Other activities continued with efforts directed at updating geological, alteration and structural modelling of the mineral resources (“Mineral Resources”) to support value engineering design, metallurgical programs and environmental studies for the feasibility study and permitting.

Environmentaland Other Matters Pertaining to the Stibnite Gold Project

The Project is located in a historic mining district with extensive and widespread exploration and mining activity with related environmental legacy effects spanning nearly 100 years from the late 1800s until today. Actions by prior operators and government agencies have addressed some of the historic environmental issues, but extensive disturbance and legacy effects remain.

For additional disclosure on Environmental and Other Matters refer to the Corporation’s Annual Information Form for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the final base shelf prospectus dated April 1, 2021.

The Corporation is, and will continue to be, subject to federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations related to environmental protection, site access and construction activities, among others. The environmental effects, if any, of current and future activities will be monitored and, where appropriate, mitigated, reclaimed and restored by the Corporation’s subsidiaries.

A number of environmental studies and regulatory investigations in the District identified numerous areas of potential environmental degradation related to past mining. In the past, regulatory actions under the ComprehensiveEnvironmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), the Resource Conservation and RecoveryAct (“RCRA”) and state law have been taken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the USFS and the IDEQ against historic mining operators.

All of these regulatory activities and related clean-up actions largely pre-date any ownership or activity by the Corporation’s subsidiaries and neither the Corporation nor its subsidiaries have ever been previous operators of the site. Prior to its acquisitions in the District, the Corporation’s subsidiaries conducted due diligence and all appropriate inquiry, comprised of formal phased assessments of the properties comprising the Project in order to avoid potential owner/operator liability related to past hazardous substance releases and to maintain its status as a bona fide prospective purchaser (“BFPP”) under CERCLA. The Corporation’s subsidiaries are discharging its continuing CERCLA obligations in the District in order to maintain their landowner liability protection. The Corporation itself has never had any ownership in the mineral properties comprising the Project.

Several of the patented lode mining claims and mill sites acquired by the subsidiary of Perpetua Resources in the areas of the former West End mine patented lode mining claims and patented mill sites previously used for processing operations are subject to an existing judicial consent decree which covers certain environmental liability and remediation responsibilities with respect to such claim holdings. The consent decree provides the regulatory agencies (that were party to the agreement) access and the right to conduct remediation activities under their respective CERCLA and RCRA authorities as necessary and to prevent the release or potential release of hazardous substances. The consent decree also requires that heirs, successors and assigns refrain from activities that would interfere with or adversely affect the integrity of any remedial measures implemented by government agencies. Several of the patented claims in the Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine properties acquired by subsidiaries of Perpetua Resources are also subject to a consent decree between the previous owner of those claims and the United States. That consent decree imposes certain obligations on that previous owner, including that the previous owner will cooperate with the EPA and USFS in those agencies’ efforts to secure any government controls necessary to implement response activities.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 12

On June 6, 2019, the Corporation announced that it and its subsidiaries were advised by Idaho’s Nez Perce Tribe that it intended to initiate legal action against the Corporation and its subsidiaries related to water quality impacts due to historical mining activity prior to involvement by Perpetua Resources and its subsidiaries with the site. The Tribe subsequently filed the legal action in the U.S. District Court of Idaho on August 8, 2019. The Corporation and its subsidiaries are presently defending against the litigation. The suit includes allegations that the Corporation and its subsidiaries have violated the Clean Water Act on lands owned by the United States government and administered by the Forest Service. As the Corporation and its subsidiaries previously advised the Federal court in October 2019 in its motion to dismiss the case, Perpetua Resources and its subsidiaries have no authority to remedy all of the plaintiff’s claims due to federal regulatory requirements requiring permission by the United States government to significantly disturb the Forest Service lands to provide the remedy sought by the Tribe.

Because the Corporation and its subsidiaries have no control or responsibility over the alleged Clean Water Act point source discharges claimed by the Tribe to be occurring on lands owned and administered by the Federal government, on June 11, 2020, they notified the Forest Service that they may seek to join them in the case. On August 18, 2020 they filed the complaint per previous notice of intent. On September 8, 2020, the Federal court granted the stipulation allowing Perpetua Resources to file an amended answer, allowing the Corporation to file the third-party complaint against the Forest Service, and declining to consolidate the cases. Subsequently, on September 9, 2020, the court held a status conference and the prospect emerged of scheduling a mandatory ADR to engage in settlement discussions. Pursuant to the voluntary ASAOC agreement related to CERCLA (discussed both above and below), the companies agreed to dismiss its pending complaints against the Forest Service, which occurred on January 29, 2021. The parties have subsequently agreed to stay to the litigation until November 1, 2021 in order to explore ADR, which was originally agreed by the parties on February 17, 2021 and ordered by the court on February 19, 2021. The ADR process was formally proceeding during the reporting period with a third-party mediator and is expected to continue in the near term.

Neither Perpetua Resources nor its subsidiaries caused the alleged current water quality or alleged water pollution discharge issues at the site. Neither Perpetua Resources nor its subsidiaries have ever conducted any mining operations at site and therefore have no control or responsibility for any alleged Clean Water Act violations. The Corporation's subsidiaries’ actions on the Project site have been limited to studying current mineral resource potential and environmental conditions in the Stibnite Mining District, evaluating the optimal solutions for remediation and restoration and presenting those solutions to the government agencies with appropriate regulatory authority as part of an integrated redevelopment plan for the site. Perpetua Resources’ subsidiaries have routinely and continually communicated with environmental regulators on the issue of the site's water quality as required under CERCLA. The Corporation’s subsidiaries have regularly reported to the federal and state regulators current information on the condition of surface and groundwater. Finally, the Corporation and its subsidiaries have engaged in appropriate natural resources restoration through the planting of over sixty thousand trees on site and other restoration activities.

Plansfor the Environmental Issues

The Corporation expects that issues related to existing environmental concern will be addressed as part of the currently ongoing permitting process for future mining operations. Over the past three years, the Corporation’s subsidiary, Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc., has been working with regulators to develop a framework under CERCLA to address historical legacy impacts at the site. Such early actions will take place under the voluntary administrative settlement and order on consent (defined above as ASAOC) under CERCLA that was finalized January 15, 2021 and would afford legal certainty for the Corporation and its applicable affiliates when they successfully perform the response actions in the site areas authorized by the Federal government in the ASAOC. The ASAOC was executed by the EPA and the United States Department of Agriculture with the concurrence of the United States Department of Justice. Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. will be undertaking early cleanup actions (known as “time critical removal actions”) upon agency approval and that are designed to directly improve water quality in a number of areas on the site while, separately, longer-term actions are being evaluated through the NEPA process. During the quarter, various submittals required under the ASAOC were delivered to the regulatory agencies and work continues to implement the agreement.

Perpetua<br>Resources Corp. Management’s Discussion & Analysis 13

An ancillary outcome of the final ASAOC would be the opportunity to request the court for a stay of, and/or to dismiss, the Clean Water Act litigation (see news release dated December 4, 2019). As noted above, a stay to the litigation was agreed to on February 17, 2021 and ordered by the court on February 19, and has since been extended to November 1, 2021. Under CERCLA and case law precedent, a federal court has no jurisdiction over a collateral Clean Water Act case where an ASAOC addresses both the same site and the same goals of the pending lawsuit. Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. believes that the optimum solution for the site is for all stakeholders to work together to implement the comprehensive and permanent reclamation and restoration of the numerous legacy issues around the site, funded through cash flow from the redevelopment of the site as a modern mining operation. The proposed early actions by the Corporation and its subsidiaries agreed to in the ASAOC offer a concrete example of what such collaborative discussions can yield.

CRITICALACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

CriticalAccounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments about the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results.

Accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Critical estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, among others, the useful lives of buildings and equipment, valuation of assets, valuation of share-based compensation, warrant and convertible note derivatives, mineral resource estimates and the recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation expenditures.

Accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments. Critical accounting judgments include the accounting for its exploration and evaluation assets, recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities, functional currency, fair value of the convertible note derivative and warrant derivative, net present value of the ASAOC liability, expected economic lives of and the estimated future operating results and net cash flows from buildings and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets.

FINANCIALINSTRUMENTS

The Corporation’s cash balance decreased from $25,037,766 on December 31, 2020 to $8,521,564 on June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of expenditures during the period. During the quarter, convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of C$15,386,884 of the 2016 Notes were converted for 4,345,350 common shares of Perpetua Resources at a conversion rate of $3.541 per common share. The remaining 2016 Notes are expected to be converted in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. There have been no other significant changes in the Corporation’s financial instruments since December 31, 2020, with the exception of the warrant derivative and the change in fair value of the convertible note derivatives, which are discussed in Results of Operations.

DISCLOSURECONTROL AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Corporation’s management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has designed disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

DC&P are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Corporation is made known to the CEO and CFO during the reporting period and the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely and appropriate manner. ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with international financial reporting standards. Due to the inherent limitations associated with any such controls and procedures, management recognizes that, no matter how well designed and operated, they may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

The Corporation’s management, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the design effectiveness of its DC&P and ICFR and concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, they are effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding required disclosures and the reliability of external financial reporting.

CHANGESIN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

National Instrument 52-109 also requires Canadian public companies to disclose any changes in ICFR during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR. No changes were made to the Corporation's ICFR in the six months ended June 30, 2021 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR.

EXTRACTIVESECTOR TRANSPARENCY MEASURE ACT – REPORTING

In accordance with Canada’s Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (the “Act”) that was enacted on December 16, 2014 and brought into force on June 1, 2015, that is intended to contribute to global efforts to increase transparency and deter corruption in the extractive sector, Perpetua Resources reports that for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, it has made payments of fees and taxes, as defined by the Act, of US$138,959 and US$189,418 respectively, to the government entities below.  The Act only requires payments greater than C$100,000 to be reported and the Corporation will follow these requirements, however the below is provided for additional transparency.

RISKSAND UNCERTAINTIES

Perpetua Resources is subject to a number of significant risks due to the nature of its business and the present stage of its business development. Only those persons who can bear risk of the entire loss of their investment should invest in the Corporation’s common shares, convertible debentures, warrants, options or other securities.

Perpetua Resources’ failure to successfully anticipate and address such risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the future trading price of its common shares may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. Such risks and uncertainties could cause the Corporation’s future business, operations and financial condition to differ materially from the forward-looking statements and information contained in this MD&A and as described in the cautionary statements on forward-looking information found in this document. The Corporation is subject to various risks, known and unknown, arising from factors within or outside of its control.

Perpetua Resources cannot give assurance that it will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect its business. Estimates of Mineral Resources and mineral reserves (“Mineral Reserves”) are inherently forward-looking statements subject to error. Although mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates require a high degree of assurance in the underlying data when the estimates are made, unforeseen events and uncontrollable factors can have significant adverse or positive impacts on the estimates. Actual results will inherently differ from estimates. The unforeseen events and uncontrollable factors include, without limitation: geologic uncertainties including inherent sample variability, metal price fluctuations, variations in mining and processing parameters, and adverse changes in environmental or mining laws and regulations. The timing and effects of variances from estimated values cannot be accurately predicted.

Below is a brief summary of some of Perpetua Resources’ risks and uncertainties. The business of the Corporation involves significant risk due to the nature of mining, exploration and development activities. Certain risk factors, including but not limited to those listed below, are related to the mining industry in general while others are specific to Perpetua Resources. These risk factors are not a definitive list of all risk factors associated with an investment in the common shares of Perpetua Resources or in connection with the Corporation’s operations.

A<br> cyber security incident could adversely affect Perpetua Resources’ ability to operate<br> its business.
--- ---
The<br> Corporation faces counterparty and liquidity risk.
--- ---
The<br> Corporation faces risk related to potential increases in interest rates and thereby an increase<br> in potential borrowing costs for future loans. However, the 2016 Notes and the 2020 Notes<br> have fixed annual interest rates of 0.05% rather than variable or floating interest rates.<br> Accordingly, the interest expense the Corporation incurs as a result of these loans is not<br> subject to fluctuations or increases.
--- ---
Perpetua<br> Resources’ activities are subject to potential environmental liability, including potential<br> past government response costs under CERCLA. Under CERCLA, potentially responsible parties<br> (“PRPs”) may be required to perform cleanup actions to protect the public health,<br> welfare, or the environment and PRPs may also be responsible for past and future costs incurred<br> by government agencies in cleaning up the site, unless the PRP can demonstrate divisibility<br> or assert one of the statutory defenses. Even though the Corporation has entered into the<br> ASAOC which, pursuant to performance of the ASAOC, may provide certain liability protections<br> to the Corporation, the scope of liability protection provided to Perpetua Resources under<br> the ASAOC is limited for the work in specific areas of the site specified under Phase 1 of<br> the ASAOC should the work be successfully completed. Should work continue under the ASAOC<br> after the first phase of work is completed, Perpetua Resources may be provided liability<br> protection for specific work performed under those subsequent phases of work.
--- ---
Perpetua<br> Resources may be negatively affected by an outbreak of infectious disease or pandemic.
--- ---
The<br> Corporation faces risks related to climate change and climate change awareness. Recent increased<br> attention regarding the risks of climate change may result in an increase in the stigmatization<br> of the Corporation’s industry (mineral resource development and mineral extraction).<br> This may result in reduced interest or investment participation by capital market participants,<br> thereby making it more difficult for the Corporation to raise funding on terms that are acceptable<br> to the Corporation. In addition, increased concerns about climate change and any negative<br> sentiments about the Corporation’s industry and sector may adversely affect the timing<br> or ability to receive any required exploration, development, environmental and/or operating<br> permits that may be required prior to the Stibnite Gold Project going into production. The<br> Corporation is unable to quantify the financial impacts related to the risks related to climate<br> change and climate change awareness. The materiality of these risks are assessed in relation<br> to whether they will impact the Corporation’s ability to raise funds and financing<br> on terms acceptable to the Corporation and whether the risks will result in any unexpected<br> delays in the permitting processes, all of which is unknown at this time.

CAUTIONARYNOTE IN RESPECT OF MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. The Project 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. There is also no certainty that these inferred Mineral Resources will be converted to the measured and indicated categories through further drilling, or into Mineral Reserves, once economic considerations are applied.

The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at the Project are contained within areas that have seen extensive disturbance resulting from prior mining activities. For Perpetua Resources to advance its interests at the Stibnite site, the Project will be subject to a number of Federal, State and local laws and regulations and will require permits to conduct its activities. However, Perpetua Resources is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal or other reasons that would prevent it from advancing the Project.

This MD&A and the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates referenced in this MD&A are reported in accordance with the requirements under Canadian securities laws, namely National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), which differ from the requirements under U.S. securities laws. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards differ significantly from the requirements under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and thus the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates referenced in this MD&A may not be comparable to disclosure provided by issuers subject to SEC disclosure requirements applicable to domestic issuers.
