Perpetua Resources, listed on the Nasdaq and Toronto exchange, will be added to the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Index and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), effective at market close on March 21, as part of the GDXJ's quarterly rebalance.
The GDXJ is a well-known exchange-traded fund that tracks small-cap companies involved in gold and silver development and mining. Being included in the ETF may boost Perpetua’s share liquidity and highlight the Stibnite gold project in Idaho as an appealing investment opportunity. The project is the only potential source of mined antimony in the US and offers exposure to an industry-leading gold project.
"We are excited to be included in the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF, a milestone that reinforces the investment case for Perpetua Resources," said president and CEO Jon Cherry.
"This inclusion reflects the hard work and dedication of our team and positions Perpetua to attract a broader base of institutional and retail investors. As we continue to advance the Stibnite gold project and execute on our strategy, we look forward to building on this momentum."
