Reading this record

What the evidence says — and does not say

What kind of figure?
CommitmentMoney, or a money-like promise, committed to a named recipient or project. The only role ever summed.
What has happened legally?
DecidedThe provider has decided to invest, lend or award, including a conditional commitment.
Has money been paid?
Follow the payment evidenceThis status does not itself establish a cash payment. In particular, a signed contract does not necessarily establish an obligation of funds.
What does it link to?
Project attributionOne registered project is linked directly to this row. The link alone does not prove the amount was paid or that the project advanced.

This is a commitment role, but the financial status still determines legal standing and payment. Funding and verified industrial outcomes remain separate. A financial record alone never independently verifies construction, commissioning or production. Read SMPT's counting and evidence rules.

Status

Financial and physical progress are separate histories. The last entry is current.

Financial

  1. Decidedcurrent

    EXIM's board gave final approval. The bank's transaction table labels the transaction 'Authorized'; SMPT maps this to decided because definitive loan documentation had not yet been executed.

Implementation

  1. Constructioncurrent

    Early works were underway before EXIM's final approval and additional critical-path construction began in May 2026.

    Perpetua Resources Corp.

Notes

EXIM's official transaction table uses 'Authorized', but the commitment remains non-binding in SMPT's lifecycle until definitive loan documents are executed. The June 2026 filing states that availability depends on completion of definitive documentation and satisfaction of conditions precedent. EXIM's May 21, 2026 board record names Perpetua Resources Idaho Inc. as prospective borrower/PSOR and the Canadian-incorporated Perpetua Resources Corp. as proposed guarantor; this classification does not imply execution of a loan or guarantee.
