Dear Subscriber,

I don’t normally give out specific stock ideas in my Monday columns. 

But it’s Weissgiving week, and I want to give you something special.

I have never given away the type of idea here that I’m about to share with you today.

It’s still a relatively small, unknown company.

One that had a terrific 2025 and looks poised to continue rising in 2026 and beyond.

The company is Perpetua Resources (PPTA).

It’s a gold mining company located in Idaho’s Stibnite Mining District. That’s been a productive area going as far back as 1899.

However, those earlier projects created environmental issues. So, they got abandoned under the modern era’s stricter requirements.

In fact, most of the older activity happened before any such requirements even existed.

Perpetua, which was formerly known as Midas Gold, is going to remediate some of the past damage … 

Bring everything up to today’s standards … 

And resume mining activities.

I already owned shares in the company when I first recommended it to a small group of our readers at the 2023 Weiss Investment Summit.

At the time, Perpetua had a market cap of just $200 million and daily trading volume of roughly 200,000 shares. 

So, it wouldn’t have been appropriate to mention it in any larger setting, let alone one of my publications.

The stock was trading around $3 a share.

Suffice it to say, a lot has happened since then.

PPTA shares currently trade near $27.

The company has received its federal permits …

It recently begun early construction on the mine …

And it has gotten massive new investments from Agnico Eagle (AEM), JPMorgan (JPM) and John Paulson. 

Paulson has been a longtime shareholder and now owns roughly a quarter of the company.

The fact that Perpetua also has large deposits of antimony — one of the critical minerals at the heart of tensions between China and the U.S. — has provided another massive upside kicker, too.

Given the fact that the stock was recently trading around $29 a share, you might think all the upside has already been squeezed out.

But I’ve only increased my personal stake in it and think there is more upside ahead.

In fact, almost my entire Roth IRA is currently invested in this one single stock!

Why do I remain bullish going into 2026?

For starters, as with any mining company, PPTA is leveraged to the price of gold.

And as I’ve explained a few timeshere lately, I believe the yellow metal itself has plenty of gains ahead in 2026.

Perpetua is also in the process of lining up more than $2 billion in financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States.

A financial decision on that should happen in spring 2026.

Additional catalysts include:

• The possibility of more gold reserves being announced.
• More news related to the company’s antimony production.
• Further deals or investments involving the U.S. government.

So, if you’re looking for a unique gold play …

That is transitioning from an early stage speculation to one of the largest and lowest-cost independent mine in the United States …

With an extra critical minerals kicker …

Perpetua is one to check out further.

I hope you’re enjoying Weissgiving so far. It’s been fun to step outside of my usual Safe Money bubble to recommend a natural resource. 

Tomorrow, your regular natural resource expert, Sean Brodrick, will share what he believes is a “Safe Money” bet for 2026.

Look for that in your inbox first thing in the a.m.

Happy Holidays!
