Billionaire Paulson Bets on Public Land Mine for Gold and Antimony
Billionaire John Paulson's Perpetua Resources is set to reopen the historic Stibnite mine in Idaho, a venture backed by $80 million in federal funding. While promoted for its role in securing domestic antimony for national security, the project is primarily driven by substantial gold reserves, drawing criticism from environmentalists and the Nez Perce Tribe over potential ecological damage and land rights.
