PR Newswire (US) TORONTO, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - i-80 GOLD CORP. (NYSE: IAUX) (TSX: IAU) ("i-80 Gold" or the "Company") reports its financial and operating results, as well as development highlights, for the first quarter and three months ended March 31, 2026. "i-80 Gold is off to a strong start in 2026, advancing our growth strategy to create a Nevada based mid-tier gold producer while completing a transformational recapitalization during the first quarter that fully funds our current development plan,(1)" stated Richard Young, President & CEO. "The financing packages executed in the first quarter significantly strengthen i-80 Gold's balance sheet and materially derisk execution of the development plan. Following the recapitalization, we approved a key construction decision related to the autoclave refurbishment, a cornerstone asset within our planned hub and spoke plan to develop our underground deposits within phase one of our development plan, which is targeting 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold beginning in 2028(1). Further, we initiated the 2026 drill program, representing the largest program in the Company's history in terms of planned footage and budget, supporting resource and reserve development in preparation of pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. In parallel, the business delivered its highest quarterly gross profit to date, supported by higher gold output and a higher realized gold price. We also continued to attract quality talent across the Company and at the Board level, further strengthening our ability to execute on our business plan."FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL, OPERATING AND DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to three months ended March 31, 2025
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts referred to herein are in U.S. dollars.Revenue increased to $52.4 million, representing 10,590 ounces in gold sold(2) at an average realized gold price(3) of $4,941 per ounce, compared to $14.0 million represented by 4,952 ounces sold(2) at an average realized gold price(3) of $2,825 per ounce in the prior year period. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher gold sales at Granite Creek as a result of the finalization of the third-party toll processing agreement in March 2025 and a higher average realized gold price(3).Gross profit increased to $16.1 million from $2.9 million in the prior year period due to increases in revenue.Net loss increased to $78.6 million compared to $41.2 million in the prior year period, due primarily to higher non-cash fair value revaluations on derivative financial instruments of $48.4 million driven by stronger metal prices. Additional non-cash losses on extinguishment of the gold prepay agreement, convertible loan, and convertible debentures of $7.1 million also contributed to lower net earnings, as well as financing expenses incurred in the amount of $9.9 million. Higher pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenses were incurred as the Company advances multiple projects within its development plan, which were partially offset by higher gross profit. Upon declaration of mineral reserves, certain pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenditures currently expensed, will be capitalized. Loss per share of $0.09 decreased from $0.10 loss per share in the prior year period primarily due to an increase in the number of outstanding common shares following the equity raise in May 2025.Adjusted loss increased to $28.6 million compared to $23.6 million in the prior year period due to increased spending on pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.Cash used in operating activities increased to $45.1 million compared to $22.7 million in the prior year period as a result of interest payments made on the extinguishment of legacy debt of $25.7 million.Cash and cash equivalents were $513.5 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $450.3 million compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to the net proceeds received from the financing transactions to complete the Company's recapitalization plan, offset by higher capital expenditures compared to the prior year period driven by the commencement of the Lone Tree Plant refurbishment project, as well as the settlement of legacy debt obligations.The Company closed several financing transactions for a total amount of $787.5 million. Gross proceeds of $662.5 million and net proceeds of $637.2 million were received on closing. These financing arrangements completed the recapitalization plan ahead of the Company's mid-2026 target and established a fully funded development plan(1):March 16, 2026: Completed a net smelter return royalty for $250 million (the "NSR Royalty") with Franco-Nevada U.S. Corporation ("Franco-Nevada") of which $225 million was received on closing, an additional $25.0 million is expected to be made available to advance Mineral Point, contingent upon satisfaction of specified project conditions.
 March 16, 2026: Entered into a gold prepayment facility with National?Bank?of?Canada ("NBC") and Macquarie?Bank?Limited ("Macquarie") for up to $250 million including a $100 million accordion option subject to customary conditions and lender approval (the "2026 Gold Prepay").
 March 23, 2026: Completed an offering of 3.75% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2031 in the aggregate amount of $287.5 million (the "2026 Convertible Debentures").
 Proceeds from the NSR Royalty were used to redeem the 2023 Convertible Debentures, Orion Gold Prepay, and the Orion convertible loan in the amount of $165.0 million.Completed approximately 7,000 meters of drilling, initiating the largest 12-month drill program in Company history. First quarter activities included infill drilling at Upper Archimedes underground to enhance mineral resource definition ahead of mining, resource definition drilling at Granite Creek underground beyond a planned feasibility study, and infill drilling at Mineral Point open pit to upgrade resource classification for the planned pre-feasibility study.Approved the construction decision to proceed with the Lone Tree Plant refurbishment during the first quarter of 2026 with capital commitments of $31.2 million at March 31, 2026, with approximately 50% of total project capital expected to be committed by mid-2026.Three-phase development plan remains on track with 2026 development priorities, as well as full year production, operating and pre-development evaluation, and exploration cost guidance for 2026.Strengthened the Board with the appointment of three new directors who bring highly relevant experience and proven track records in mining operations, mineral processing, finance, and capital markets.

Most recently during the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed several key transactions including the NSR Royalty with Franco-Nevada for up to $250 million, the 2026 Gold Prepay with National Bank and Macquarie Bank for up to $250 million, and the issuance of the 2026 Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $287.5 million. These financings completed the Company's broader recapitalization plan ahead of its mid-2026 target and align with the projected capital requirements and cash flows of the project development plan.Overall, the recapitalization secured over $1 billion(4) in raised and available capital from early 2025 through the first quarter of 2026, materially strengthening the Company's balance sheet, providing funding certainty, and de-risking the development plan.With the recapitalization complete, the Company believes it is now fully funded to advance Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the development plan. Phase 1 and Phase 2 currently include advancing three underground projects (Granite Creek, Archimedes and Cove) and one open pit oxide project (Granite Creek open pit), as well as the refurbishment and commissioning of the Company's centralized Lone Tree Plant. The anticipated increase in annual gold output from approximately 50,000 ounces in 2026 to a range of 300,000 to 400,000 ounces upon completion of Phase 2 is expected to generate sufficient operating cash flow to fund Phase 3, which currently includes the development of the Mineral Point open pit oxide project and an anticipated average annual gold output of 600,000 ounces.(1) The Company now has the financial flexibility to bring forward infill drilling, engineering, and technical studies in support of the pre-feasibility study and future permitting actions for Mineral Point ahead of Phase 3. With several feasibility and pre-feasibility studies currently in progress, the Company continues to identify opportunities to optimize the development schedule for Phase 2 and Phase 3.Following the successful completion of the recapitalization plan, the Company has discontinued the sale process for its non-core FAD property.UPCOMING CATALYSTS Over the next 12 to 18 months, the Company is targeting to deliver the following key catalysts across its gold portfolio while also identifying opportunities to optimize the development schedule:Technical StudiesCove underground (Feasibility) —  Q2 2026Granite Creek underground (Feasibility) —  Q2 2026Archimedes underground (Feasibility) —  Late-Q1 2027Mineral Point open pit (Pre-Feasibility) — 2027 Timing under reviewGranite Creek open pit (Pre-Feasibility) — Timing under reviewLone Tree PlantCommence demolition — Q2 2026Commence construction — H2 2026Plant commissioning — Q4 2027Archimedes UndergroundInitiate infill drilling of Lower Archimedes — Q2 2026First gold from Upper Archimedes — Q4 20262026 GuidanceThe Company remains on track to meet its 2026 guidance as originally published in its 2025 Year End Annual Report on Form 10K published on February 19, 2026.OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Current tax expense(1,210)—Net loss(78,601)(41,205)Paul Chawrun, Chief Operating Officer, commented: "We are very pleased with the development progress achieved during the first quarter at our two underground projects. At Granite Creek, progress on the main decline and waste development remains on plan, and gold output has reached a steady operating rate, while water ingress continues to be effectively managed with existing infrastructure. Commissioning of a second, larger water treatment plant is on track for next month, which is expected to further simplify day-to-day operations for the long term. At Archimedes, both the development ramp and exploration drift are advancing ahead of plan, supported by favorable ground conditions and strong execution by our team and contractors. This work remains a priority to support infill drilling and technical work for the feasibility study, targeting for completion late in the first quarter of 2027, pending the potential expansion of the current drill program.Drill results released in the first quarter at both Granite Creek South Pacific Zone and Upper Archimedes at Ruby Hill continued to return consistent and positive results, highlighting high-grade intercepts, continuity of mineralization, and further expansion potential at both deposits. At Mineral Point, we initiated a significant drill program to support a pre-feasibility study anticipated for completion in 2027. The Lone Tree Plant refurbishment timeline and costs remain on track. We look forward to commencing demolition and site early works activities this quarter with the mobilization of Hatch's construction team, while in parallel, procurement and detailed engineering remain on track for first gold pour in December 2027."Granite Creek PropertyThe Granite Creek property includes the Granite Creek underground project, a fully permitted, constructed and operating mine, and the Granite Creek open pit oxide deposit adjacent to the underground project. Granite Creek underground is the Company's first brownfield project to be redeveloped and is currently ramping up towards steady-state gold output.Granite Creek Property

Temporary diesel generators were installed shortly after the incident to allow for mining operations to resume with minimal impact to the mine plan, and permanent replacement infrastructure was installed in mid-March.Throughout the quarter, waste development in the main decline and access ramps continued to progress according to the mine plan, despite limited access in January and early February due to the loss of power incident. For the remainder of the quarter, decline advance rates exceeded plan, and from the second quarter onwards, the development rate is expected to be sufficiently ahead of the mine workings to allow for the efficient extraction of the mineralized material for the foreseeable future.Water inflow volumes to the mine remained largely unchanged and continue to be managed well using the current underground pumping system, which presently operates near capacity. An enhanced pumping system that includes expanded sumps and higher capacity pumps will be installed throughout the year to allow for an increase in overall water discharge capacity of the contact water as the mine progresses at depth. Further, commissioning of a second water treatment plant currently under construction remains on track for June 2026, which is expected to increase surface water treatment capacity to support the Company's long-term groundwater management objectives.The Company continues to encounter elevated levels of oxide mineralized material compared to levels anticipated in the March 2025 PEA at Granite Creek underground.As at March 31, 2026, the Company had a sulfide stockpile with over 4,000 recoverable ounces of gold due to the availability of third-party processing. The Company expects this stockpile to be processed during the second quarter of 2026.Capital spend at Granite Creek consisted of costs related to the water treatment plant, RIB construction, and the electrical substation replacement.Pre-development, evaluation, and exploration expenses were $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which were primarily related to underground mine development and infill drilling to upgrade mineral resources and step-out drilling beyond the drill program completed in 2025 in advance of the feasibility study.Drill ProgramDuring the quarter, the Company continued infill and step-out drilling at Granite Creek, completing approximately 1,925 meters of core drilling across the property. The underground drill program remained focused on infill drilling to support resource conversion and mine planning, while surface drilling targeted northerly step-out holes on the South Pacific Zone and Rangefront fault to test the potential for resource expansion. The updated mineral resource estimate will incorporate drilling data from 2023, 2024, and 2025, and will utilize a revised resource modeling approach. The feasibility study is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.New assay results from 40 holes reported on January 20, 2026, continued to demonstrate robust high-grade mineralization throughout the South Pacific Zone confirming expansion of the mineralized envelope and potential for mineral resource expansion to the north and at depth.Granite Creek Open PitFollowing the completion of the Granite Creek open pit preliminary economic assessment ("PEA"), a pre-feasibility trade-off study commenced. Simultaneously, technical trade-off analyses are being conducted to optimize project economics. Based on preliminary assessments of potential environmental impacts, the project may require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") under the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") process. Early-stage pre-permitting activities and technical studies are currently underway, followed by planned baseline field studies commencing in 2027 to support the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") permitting process.Ruby Hill PropertyThe Ruby Hill property includes the Archimedes underground project, the Company's second planned underground mine for which construction began during 2025, and the Mineral Point open pit, which is a large oxide gold and silver deposit with the potential to become the Company's largest gold producing asset. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company finalized a PEA for the Ruby Hill property covering both Archimedes underground and Mineral Point open pit projects. Ruby Hill Property

Predictive groundwater modeling and geochemical technical studies are ongoing in support of the Lower Archimedes permitting process. The timeframe for first gold mined is in the second half of 2026.The Company also completed 4,262 meters of infill drilling at the 426 zone of Upper Archimedes, with infill drilling of the Ruby Deeps zone within Lower Archimedes expected to commence in the second quarter of 2026, following the completion of the exploration drift. Together, these programs will form the technical basis for the Archimedes Underground feasibility study, which is targeting late in the first quarter of 2027, pending the potential expansion of the current drill program. New assay results from the first 20 holes from the Upper Archimedes drill program were reported subsequent to the first quarter on April 8, 2026, and continue to demonstrate high-grade mineralization throughout Upper Archimedes, returning high-grade intercepts consistent with the current geological model.Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily from construction of a dry room trailer, office infrastructure upgrades, power upgrades and mine load centers for the underground.Pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenditures were $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to increased underground development at the Archimedes underground project which began in the third quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the higher expenditure is driven by a decline advance rate that exceeded expectations, resulting in accelerated development activity and the construction of surface infrastructure.The Company continues to leach the historic leach pads on the Ruby Hill property recovering minor amounts of gold. For the residual leaching process, management continues to focus on improving solution flows to control ponding and optimizing cyanide application rates with the objective of increasing production from the historic leach pad during the first quarter of 2026.Mineral Point Open PitAt Mineral Point, two surface core drill rigs completed 750 meters of surface core drilling during the first quarter of 2026. This drill program was designed to support a pre-feasibility trade-off study covering hydrogeology, metallurgy, and an optimized mine plan. Mineral Point currently hosts the Company's largest gold and silver mineral resources. The $250 million NSR Royalty completed in the first quarter of 2026 includes $50 million allocated to advancing infill drilling, engineering, and early-stage pre-permitting at Mineral Point in 2026 in support of a pre-feasibility study anticipated for completion in 2027.Cove UndergroundCove is an advanced stage exploration project and is expected to be the Company's third underground mine. NEPA permitting activities are underway with the BLM at Cove in anticipation of an EIS. i-80 Gold is actively advancing major permit applications with the goal of aligning regulatory approvals with planned development timelines.During the first quarter, the Company continued to advance the feasibility study for the Cove Underground project, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026. Further, the Company also submitted updated hydrological and geochemical baseline reports to the BLM. During the second quarter, the Company submitted the updated biological baseline studies report, as well as the Plan of Operations amendment to the BLM.Lone Tree Plant Refurbishment The Lone Tree Plant is currently non-operational and a construction decision on its refurbishment was made by the Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2026. i-80 Gold is one of two gold companies in Nevada with an autoclave processing plant (the other being owned by Nevada Gold Mines Inc., a joint venture between Barrick Mining Corporation and Newmont Corporation).The Lone Tree Plant is envisioned to process material from the Company's three underground mines, Granite Creek, Archimedes, and Cove, to establish a regional hub-and-spoke mining and processing model. Upon refurbishment and commissioning, the Lone Tree Plant will allow the Company to transition from toll milling to owner-operated processing. This shift is expected to materially increase operating margins and enhance free cash flow generation.During the first quarter, the Company provided Hatch with a formal Notice to Proceed for the Lone Tree refurbishment project. In preparation, procurement for long lead equipment and detailed engineering activities commenced in 2025 to optimize the schedule. At present, the project is on plan for the first gold pour in December 2027 and costs remain in line with the control estimate issued in November 2025. As of March 31, 2026, total construction commitments were $30.5 million, with approximately 50% of the project's commitments expected towards the end of the first half of 2026. On site early works commenced in the second quarter of 2026, which includes the mobilization of the Hatch construction team and the initiation of equipment demolition, building refurbishment and repairs, and the installation of lighting and electrical replacement and upgrades. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily related to refurbishment activities.The facility is permitted for the existing operational components in use. The approval of new and revised permit applications pertaining to air quality, mercury control, water pollution control, reclamation management, and other secondary programs for the new design remain outstanding. The Company submitted the necessary applications for air quality, mercury control and water quality environmental permits in the first quarter of 2026, ahead of schedule. Various construction activities are expected to commence upon the approval of needed permits, the Company does not envision delays in the construction schedule due to the permitting process at this time.FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThis press release should be read in conjunction with i-80 Gold's Form 10-Q, including the unaudited consolidated financial statements and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included therein, which is available on the Company's website at www.i80gold.com, and under the Company's issuer profile on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Company advises that its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, disclosed a going concern emphasis. Release of this information is required by Section 610(b) of the NYSE American Company Guide. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company successfully completed its recapitalization plan by raising and securing capital of approximately $787.5 million through the completion of a net smelter return royalty agreement, gold prepay agreement, and the issuance of convertible debentures. The proceeds were used to repay its outstanding indebtedness, with the exception of the Silver Purchase Agreement that remains outstanding, and improved liquidity, as further described in the Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has $513.5 million in cash on hand, which it believes is sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has assessed the relevant conditions and events and has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists.CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCASTManagement will hold a conference call and audio webcast to discuss the first quarter highlights followed by a question-and-answer session with participants. The details are as follows:Date:Wednesday, May 13, 2026Time:10:00 a.m. ETWebcast:app.webinar.net/YWEQaPqn3wA  Telephone:1-416-945-7677Toll-free (North America):   1-888-699-1199   QUALIFIED PERSONSAll scientific and technical information contained in this press release has been reviewed, verified and compiled under the supervision of Paul Chawrun, P.Eng., member of the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) and the Company's Chief Operating Officer, and Tyler Hill, CPG., Vice President Geology for the Company, each of whom is a "Qualified Person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and S-K 1300 and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.ENDNOTES(1)Based on  capital costs, gold output estimates, and average annual gold output targets  outlined in the most recent life of mine schedules disclosed in the latest technical studies filed for each respective project and related property: the Lone Tree Facility, Granite Creek underground, Archimedes underground, Cove underground and Granite Creek open pit when using a gold price assumption of $3,600/oz for the purposes of anticipated cash flow from operations. While the economics of the latest technical studies were completed at $2,175/oz Au with gold price sensitivities of up to $3,000/oz Au, a gold price assumption of $3,600/oz is in line with current long term consensus prices. The anticipated output figures are preliminary in nature and are based on mineral resources, which do not have demonstrated economic viability, and are not mineral reserves. In addition, each of the foregoing technical reports are preliminary economic assessments/initial assessments that are preliminary in nature and each include an economic analysis that is based, in part, on inferred mineral resources. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have for the application of economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. As such, there is no certainty that the output targets will be realized. The anticipated output targets are also pending the successful refurbishment and commissioning of the Lone Tree Plant. All of the Company's projects are considered exploration stage projects under S-K 1300 because the Company has not determined mineral reserves at any of its properties pursuant to S-K 1300. With respect to Granite Creek underground and Archimedes underground, located on the Ruby Hill property, the Company has started extraction activities without determining mineral reserves. The following technical reports for each project and related property have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101: Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Cove Project, Lander County, Nevada (March 31, 2025); Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Granite Creek Mine Project, Humboldt County, Nevada, USA (March 31, 2025); and Preliminary Economic Assessment NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Ruby Hill Project, Eureka Country, Nevada, USA (March 31, 2025). Corresponding technical reports prepared in accordance with S-K 1300 are as follows: Initial Assessment & Technical Report Summary for the Cove Project, Lander County, Nevada (March 26, 2025); Initial Assessment of the Granite Creek Mine, Humboldt County, NV (March 26, 2025); and Initial Assessment of the Ruby Hill Project, Eureka County NV (March 29, 2025).

i-80 Gold Reports High-Grade Assay Results at Archimedes Underground Project Including 24.6 g/t Au Over 23.6 Meters; Development Advancing on ScheduleApril 8, 2026 6:05 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

TORONTO, April 8, 2026 /CNW/ - i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX: IAU) (NYSE American: IAUX) ("i-80 Gold", or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from its recent drilling campaign at the Archimedes Underground Project ("Archimedes" or the "Project"), located on the Company's Ruby Hill property at the southeastern end of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend in northeastern Nevada, United States (see Figure 1 in Appendix).The Company commenced construction of Archimedes, the Company's second underground project, in the third quarter of 2025. Material from Archimedes, in addition to Granite Creek underground, is expected to begin feeding the Company's Lone Tree processing plant by late 2027, subject to the completion of the plant's proposed refurbishment. Until that time, the Company's underground material from Archimedes will be processed through a third-party toll milling agreement.As of December 31, 2025, Archimedes hosts an indicated gold mineral resource of 436,000 ounces at 7.6 grams per tonne and an inferred gold mineral resource of 988,000 ounces at 7.3 grams per tonne(1). The majority of the resource is currently hosted in the Ruby Deeps zone, which is situated below the 5100-foot elevation within the deposit ("Lower Archimedes") (see Figure 2 in Appendix).These drilling results confirm previously interpreted mineralization in the upper 426 zone ("Upper Archimedes") and demonstrate continuity as well as the potential to extend mineralization beyond the boundaries defined by the mineral resource estimate supporting the preliminary economic assessment for Archimedes, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, and the corresponding Initial Assessment, prepared under Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300"), each filed on March 31, 2025(2) (the "PEA"). Upper Archimedes is situated above the 5100-foot elevation level within the deposit.Highlights From Infill Holes at Upper Archimedes 24.6 g/t Au over 23.6 m in hole iAU26-05 (sulfide)10.2 g/t Au over 36.4 m in hole iAU25-09 (sulfide)8.0 g/t Au over 46.4 m in hole iAU26-01 (sulfide-oxide)6.1 g/t Au over 42.1 m in hole iAU25-14 (oxide)3.9 g/t Au over 44.3 m in hole iAU26-03 (oxide)True widths are estimated between approximately 40% - 65% of core width."Drilling continues to return consistent and positive results that are improving our confidence in both the scale and continuity of mineralization at Archimedes," stated Tyler Hill, Vice President, Geology. "These results provide a solid foundation for ongoing development, and reinforce the broader potential of the Project. The consistency of high-grade results that we are seeing across this drill campaign is similar to the drill campaigns conducted on the Company's other two underground projects, for which feasibility studies are expected to be released this quarter. In addition to the high-grade sulfide mineralization, the emerging oxide opportunity at Upper Archimedes has the potential to provide meaningful low-cost economic ounces in the near-term, with metallurgical testwork underway. With development advancing on schedule, Archimedes is on plan as we target first gold mined in the third quarter of this year."Upper Archimedes Drilling Infill drilling commenced in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a focus on further delineating Upper Archimedes in preparation for the anticipated extraction of mineralized material in the third quarter of 2026. A total of 7,500 meters over 35 holes have been drilled to date, largely completing the 2025-2026 program. New assay results from the first 20 holes presented in Table 1 below continue to demonstrate high-grade mineralization throughout Upper Archimedes, returning high-grade intercepts in targeted drill areas, which are consistent with the current geological model (see Figures 3 and 4 in Appendix). Upper Archimedes drilling will ultimately consist of 36 holes and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026. Results from this program, in conjunction with further drilling in 2026, will be used to support stope design for planned mining activities.The current drilling program intersected substantial intervals of oxide mineralization that were not included in the 2025 PEA. In light of the current gold price environment and the presence of an operating heap leach pad, the Company is currently evaluating the potential to integrate this oxide material into the Project's mine plan and production profile.Lower Archimedes Drilling Development of an exploration drift to serve as a platform to drill Lower Archimedes commenced ahead of schedule during the first quarter of 2026. Following the expected completion of the Upper Archimedes drill program in the second quarter, an infill drilling program targeting approximately 55,000 meters over 140 holes in Lower Archimedes is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Lower Archimedes remains open to the north and south, and at depth, offering substantial exploration potential.Drilling results from both Upper and Lower Archimedes will form the basis of a new mineral resource estimate and a feasibility study which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027. The updated resource is expected to include approximately 60,000 meters of drilling, of which the majority is infill drilling to define reserves. The overall drill program is primarily focused on infill drilling to enhance confidence in the mine plan, better define the transition boundary of the oxide-sulfide mineralization, confirm the continuity of mineralization, and upgrade inferred resources into the measured and indicated mineral resource categories.Development at Archimedes Advancing on ScheduleAt Upper Archimedes, permitting for mining is complete and construction continues to advance on schedule with the development footage exceeding plan. Approximately 1,200 meters of development for the project has been completed as of the end of the first quarter of 2026. Project costs are largely in line with budget expectations. Predictive groundwater models for Archimedes have advanced, including the installation of an additional dewatering well in the first quarter of 2026. The Company continues to expect to mine first gold within Upper Archimedes in the third quarter of 2026.Permitting activities for Lower Archimedes are underway with an estimated completion by mid-2027, while reviewing opportunities to expedite the timeline. This sequential permitting approach allows the Company to expedite mining activities, while finalizing approvals for Lower Archimedes.Results from the PEA outlined an approximate 10-year mine life with an average annual gold output of approximately 100,000 ounces, following production ramp up(2) (to view the announcement, click here). Table 1: Assay Results From Upper Archimedes DrillingDrillhole IDTypeOxidationFrom (m)To (m)Length (m)Au (g/t)iAU25-01CoreSulfide151.2156.04.85.6AndCore Sulfide189.9192.82.99.2AndCoreOxide195.4223.728.36.6iAU25-02CoreSulfide129.7148.719.07.0AndCore Sulfide157.9171.613.76.9AndCoreOxide171.6192.921.34.1iAU25-03CoreSulfide108.8119.510.75.4AndCore Sulfide154.7161.66.910.3iAU25-04CoreSulfide153.3162.59.114.0AndCoreOxide197.5212.815.22.1iAU25-05Core Oxide139.9155.916.02.7iAU25-06CoreSulfide125.9133.27.312.7AndCoreOxide145.1163.818.77.3iAU25-07Core Sulfide133.2146.913.712.1iAU25-08CoreSulfide132.0146.614.69.5AndCoreOxide170.8194.523.73.1iAU25-09Core Sulfide113.7121.17.46.0AndCoreSulfide139.5176.036.410.2iAU25-10CoreSulfide121.8124.52.74.0iAU25-11Core Sulfide126.7147.220.411.0AndCoreOxide147.2163.416.23.3iAU25-12CoreOxide95.4101.35.94.3AndCore Oxide149.4162.212.84.4iAU25-13CoreSulfide135.1145.410.28.1iAU25-14CoreSulfide104.2119.515.29.3AndCore Oxide129.9172.042.16.1iAU25-15CoreSulfide130.8151.520.75.3AndCoreOxide176.0183.98.02.5iAU26-01Core Sulfide/Oxide135.0181.446.48.0IncludesCoreOxide151.1171.520.55.3AndCoreSulfide186.5188.92.412.8iAU26-02Core Oxide146.3166.119.82.3iAU26-03CoreSulfide134.1140.86.713.8AndCoreOxide140.8185.044.33.9iAU26-04Core Sulfide104.5111.77.210.3AndCoreOxide130.5168.337.92.9iAU26-05Core Sulfide128.2151.823.624.6AndCoreSulfide170.1176.66.55.7Notes to table above:Numbers may not add due to rounding.

Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability and are not mineral reserves.For a description of the data verification, assay procedures and the quality assurance program and quality control measures applied by the Company, please see the Company's Annual Report on Form-10K dated February 19, 2026, as well as the information in respect of data verification, key assumptions, parameters, risks and other factors contained in the PEA and the corresponding Initial Assessment dated March 31, 2025, each as filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and under the Company's profile on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.Endnotes(1)Notes to the Archimedes Underground Mineral Resource estimate: (1) Underground mineral resources have been estimated at a gold price of $2,175 per troy ounce and a silver price of $27.25 per ounce; metal price determinations were from 2024 Q3. (2) Mineral resources have been estimated using pressure oxidation gold metallurgical recoveries of 96.8% and 89.5% for the 426 and Ruby Deeps deposits respectively. (3) Pressure oxidation cutoff grades are 5.06 and 5.48 Au g/t (0.148 and 0.160 opt) for the 426 and Ruby Deeps deposits respectively. (4) Detailed input mining, processing, and G&A costs are defined in Section 18.1. (5) Units shown are metric. (6) The contained gold ounces estimates have not been adjusted for metallurgical recoveries. (7) Numbers have been rounded as required by reporting guidelines and may result in apparent summation differences. (8) A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. The dimensions of a minimum minable stope cross section are 20 feet wide x 15 feet high. Individual stope lengths can vary from a minimum of 20 feet to a maximum of 100 feet. (9) An inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. (10) Mineral resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant factors. (11) Mineral resources in the Ruby Hill Technical Report have an effective date of December 31, 2024. A Qualified Person and employee of Practical Mining LLC, has reviewed the Ruby Hill Underground mineral resources and material assumptions included in the Ruby Hill Technical Report and confirmed that they remain current as of December 31, 2025. (12) The reference point for mineral resources is in situ.(2)A press release titled "i-80 Gold Announces Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Archimedes Underground Project, Nevada; After-Tax NPV(5%) of $127 Million with an After-Tax IRR of 23% at US$2,175/oz Au" announcing results from the PEA on the Ruby Hill Property covering the Archimedes underground project was filed on February 18, 2025, followed by the filing of the PEA and the corresponding Initial Assessment on March 31, 2025. The PEA was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Initial Assessment was prepared in accordance with S-K 1300. All documents are accessible under the Company's issuer profile on both SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company's website at www.i80gold.com. The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes an economic analysis that is based, in part, on inferred mineral resources. Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have for the application of economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability and are not mineral reserves.About i-80 Gold Corp.i-80 Gold Corp. is a Nevada-focused mining company committed to building a mid-tier gold producer through a fully funded three-phase development plan to advance its high-quality asset portfolio. The Company is the fifth largest gold mineral resource holder in the state with a pipeline of high-grade multi-stage projects strategically located in Nevada's most prolific gold-producing trends.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "continues", "forecasts", "projects", "predicts", "intends", "anticipates" or "believes", or variations of, or the negatives of, such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be inaccurate and, as such, reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits, if any, that the Company will derive therefrom. By their nature, forward looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control, including general economic and industry conditions, volatility of commodity prices, title risks and uncertainties, uncertainty in geological, metallurgical and geotechnical studies and opinions, and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive.This release also contains references to estimates of mineral resources. The estimation of mineral resources is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation (including estimated future production from the Project, the anticipated tonnages and grades that will be mined and the estimated level of recovery that will be realized), which may prove to be unreliable and depend, to a certain extent, upon the analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate.

Funded, Permitted, and Building: The Gold Developers That Didn't WaitApril 2, 2026 1:25 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Issued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.USANewsGroup.com News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, April 2, 2026 /CNW/ -- The world's gold mines produced a record 3,672 tonnes last year, but that number is misleading. Growth came in at just 1%, and the World Gold Council now warns that output may be approaching a near-term plateau as existing reserves deplete faster than new deposits are found[1]. The discovery pipeline has thinned. Permitting timelines have stretched. And the mines that built this industry's supply base are getting older every quarter. That scarcity backdrop is reshaping where capital flows, with institutional investors, development banks, and sovereign funds pivoting hard toward execution-ready projects in Africa and South America rather than parking money in early-stage exploration[2]. Five companies have positioned themselves squarely in that capital corridor: Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF), Montage Gold (TSX: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF), G Mining Ventures (TSX: GMIN) (OTCQX: GMINF), i-80 Gold (NYSE-A: IAUX) (TSX: IAU), and Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF).







Wall Street's commodity desks are projecting gold to average between $4,700 and $5,200 per ounce in 2026, with several major banks flagging potential upside beyond $6,000[3]. For developers that have already locked in financing and secured permits, those numbers change the math entirely. African mining jurisdictions are climbing global investment attractiveness rankings, and capital is flowing toward permitted, construction-stage operations at a pace the continent hasn't seen in over a decade[4]. The companies converting ounces in the ground into credible production timelines are sitting in front of what may be the widest margin window the gold sector has offered in a generation.Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) has secured a binding term sheet for a gold loan facility of up to 6,000 ounces of gold, worth roughly US$25 million, from Monetary Metals. Alongside that, the company has locked in a fully committed $3.0 million convertible debenture financing led by a long-term significant shareholder. Together, the two deals give LVG both near-term working capital and a clear path to larger project-level funding for its Imwelo Gold Project in Tanzania.The gold loan is structured as a non-dilutive, production-linked facility. Repayment is made in gold ounces rather than cash, meaning the loan scales naturally with output. The convertible debenture carries a 5.0% annual interest rate, converts at $0.31 per share, and includes warrants exercisable at $0.40. For a company at this stage, the combination is designed to move development forward without flooding the market with new shares."This financing allows us to immediately accelerate work programs on the ground at Imwelo and advance key initiatives across both Imwelo and Tembo without delay," said Marc Cernovitch, CEO of Lake Victoria Gold. " With capital now in place, our focus is on execution — progressing engineering, advancing site activities, and moving Imwelo toward development.  At the same time, the Monetary Metals facility provides a clear pathway to larger-scale project financing, supporting our objective of bringing Imwelo into production."The financing builds on a string of positive developments across LVG's Tanzanian portfolio. The company recently announced that Tanzania's government has formally begun incorporating its statutory 16% free carried interest in the Tembo mining licences, a required regulatory step that signals the project is advancing through the country's established framework. LVG is also in the final stages of negotiating a binding agreement with Nyati Resources, a well-established Tanzanian mining operator, to begin toll milling at Tembo. That arrangement would allow the company to process material through an existing facility rather than building a new plant, opening a path to early cash flow without heavy upfront capital spending.At Imwelo, recent results have been equally encouraging. The project confirmed gold recovery rates of up to approximately 97% using conventional processing methods. A completed drill program at Area C returned grades including 11.88 g/t gold over 1.33 metres, and geotechnical studies supported consolidation into a single open pit design. The Tembo Project separately returned surface grades up to 35.45 g/t gold from artisanal sampling.Lake Victoria Gold holds a 100% interest in both projects, counts Barrick Gold among its strategic investors, and has a management, director, and strategic partners group that collectively owns more than 60% of outstanding shares. With financing now secured, two advancing assets, and a regulatory pathway formally underway, LVG is positioning itself as a near-term gold production story backed by serious capital and insider conviction.NOTE: For a Cautionary Note on Production Decision, please see the Disclaimer below.Read this and more news for Lake Victoria Gold at: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/04/02/with-funding-commitments-in-place-a-gold-mine-is-being-built-and-this-stock-is-still-under-0-20/In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:Montage Gold (TSX: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF) delivered a significant resource upgrade at its flagship Koné project in Côte d'Ivoire, with total Measured and Indicated Resources growing 671koz to 5.88Moz at 0.77 g/t Au, a 24% grade improvement year-over-year. The Koné deposit's maiden Measured Resource of 229koz at 0.83 g/t Au signals increased confidence, while Inferred Resources surged 782koz to 1.56Moz, with higher-grade satellites now contributing 1.25Moz at 1.34 g/t Au."We are pleased with our continued progress to unlock exploration value at the Koné project, where construction remains on-budget and ahead of schedule with the first gold pour expected in late Q4-2026 through the oxide circuit," said Martino De Ciccio, CEO of Montage Gold. "The updated Mineral Resource Estimate published today for the Koné and Gbongogo Main deposits further enhances the quality of the project."Montage Gold expects to publish updated resource estimates for additional satellite deposits including Gbongogo South, Koban North, and ANV in the coming weeks, alongside an updated life-of-mine plan later in 2026. An active 90,000-meter drill programme launched in early 2026 continues targeting maiden resources at new discoveries such as Petit Yao and Soman 1 & 2.G Mining Ventures (TSX: GMIN) (OTCQX: GMINF) reported full-year 2025 results highlighted by 171,871 ounces of gold produced at its Tocantinzinho mine, generating $255 million in mine-site free cash flow at $1,484 per ounce produced. The company posted net income of $288 million for the year, with Q4 delivering record quarterly production of 47,346 ounces at an average realized gold price of $4,032 per ounce."Tocantinzinho completed its first full year of commercial production in 2025, delivering consistent operating performance with production, recoveries and costs in line with expectations," said Louis-Pierre Gignac, President and CEO of G Mining Ventures. "The operation generated $255 million in free cash flow, strengthening our balance sheet while funding the advancement of Oko West. We enter 2026 with Tocantinzinho performing to plan, Oko West fully funded and under construction, and Gurupi continuing to advance through exploration and permitting."Looking ahead, G Mining Ventures guides 2027 production of 200,000 to 235,000 ounces at Tocantinzinho, a roughly 25% increase over 2026 driven by higher-grade Phase 2 ore. The company maintains a clear path toward 500,000 ounces of annual gold production by 2028, supported by Oko West's construction progress and a record $42 to $50 million exploration program planned across its three-project portfolio.i-80 Gold (NYSE-A: IAUX) (TSX: IAU) has completed a landmark recapitalization milestone, closing a gold prepayment facility of up to $250 million with National Bank of Canada and Macquarie Bank Limited, bringing total secured capital to over $1 billion. The facility includes an initial $150 million advance with a $100 million accordion feature, completing the recapitalization ahead of the company's mid-2026 target."We are pleased to announce the closing of the Gold Prepay Facility, marking the final step in achieving our recapitalization goals and a major turning point for i-80 Gold," said Richard Young, President & CEO. "We believe this significantly derisks the Company and positions us to fully finance our growth plans, financing five gold projects and the Lone Tree centralized autoclave processing facility. With the financing now complete, we are fully focused on executing on our industry-leading project pipeline in Nevada and delivering significant value to all our stakeholders."The fully funded development plan is expected to advance Phases 1 and 2, targeting average annual gold production of 300,000 to 400,000 ounces by 2031, up from fewer than 50,000 ounces currently. Phase 3 development of the Mineral Point open pit oxide project is anticipated to be funded through operating cash flows generated by earlier phases.Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF) reported high-grade drill results from eight holes at its 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, highlighted by 7.74 g/t Au over 13.5m and 6.30 g/t Au over 9.8m at the Wenot deposit, with five diamond drill rigs now active targeting the prolific Dike Corridor at depths between -150m and -400m. The company is also deploying a rig to test "the Handle," an intriguing geophysical anomaly trending northeast off the Wenot deposit."As these drill results continue to add to the confidence in Omai as a Tier 1 gold asset, we are advancing many aspects of work towards the next stages for the project," said Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai. "Metallurgical work, tailings studies and the important permitting initiatives are front and centre. At the same time, we will continue our very aggressive drill program with a focus on upgrading the large Wenot resource, extending the limits and testing certain priority exploration targets."Omai Gold Mines expects its updated Mineral Resource Estimate within weeks, followed by a Preliminary Economic Assessment approximately two months later. The company's global resource currently stands at over 2.1 million ounces indicated and 4.4 million ounces inferred across the Wenot and Gilt deposits.SOURCE CONTINUED: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/04/02/with-funding-commitments-in-place-a-gold-mine-is-being-built-and-this-stock-is-still-under-0-20/CONTACT:

i-80 Gold Closes Gold Prepayment Facility for up to $250 Million; Completes Recapitalization Establishing a Fully Funded Development PlanMarch 24, 2026 6:11 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

All amounts referenced herein are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.TORONTO, March 24, 2026 /CNW/ - i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX: IAU) (NYSE American: IAUX) ("i-80 Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced gold prepayment facility (the "Gold Prepay Facility") with National Bank of Canada and Macquarie Bank Limited. The Gold Prepay Facility includes an initial advance of $150 million and a $100 million accordion feature. With the closing of the Gold Prepay Facility, the Company has successfully completed its recapitalization plan. Through a combination of financing arrangements, i-80 Gold has raised over $1 billion in capital(1), which is expected to fully fund the development plan through Phase 1 and Phase 2, with a path to funding Phase 3(2) (see Figure in Appendix).







"We are pleased to announce the closing of the Gold Prepay Facility, marking the final step in achieving our recapitalization goals and a major turning point for i-80 Gold," said Richard Young, President & CEO. "We believe this significantly derisks the Company and positions us to fully finance our growth plans, financing five gold projects and the Lone Tree centralized autoclave processing facility. With the financing now complete, we are fully focused on executing on our industry-leading project pipeline in Nevada and delivering significant value to all our stakeholders."Gold Prepay FacilityWith the closing of the Gold Prepay Facility, the Company received $150 million in initial funding and has the obligation to deliver 39,978 ounces of gold over a 30-month period beginning in January 2028. The accordion feature provides access to an additional $100 million for a 24-month period from closing, subject to customary conditions and lender approval. The Company anticipates executing the accordion feature in the first half of 2027, at which point the number of additional gold ounces to be delivered will be determined.Recapitalization Plan Over the past 18 months, i-80 Gold undertook several initiatives that have led to the completion of its recapitalization plan. The Company has secured a financing package that aligns with the projected capital requirements and cash flows of its development plan. This recapitalization was completed ahead of the Company's target of mid-2026 and has achieved over $1 billion in secured and available capital(1) in accordance with its plan. We believe the Company is fully funded to advance Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the development plan(2). Phase 1 and Phase 2 currently include advancing three underground projects (Granite Creek, Archimedes and Cove) and one open pit oxide project (Granite Creek open pit), as well as the refurbishment and commissioning of the Company's centralized Lone Tree processing plant. Once complete, these projects are expected to increase average annual production to a target range of 300,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold in 2031(2), up from less than 50,000 ounces of gold currently. They are also expected to generate sufficient operating cash flow to fund Phase 3(2), which currently includes the development of the Mineral Point open pit oxide project. The Company now has the financial flexibility to bring forward infill drilling, engineering, and technical studies in support of the pre-feasibility study and future permitting actions for Mineral Point ahead of Phase 3, as the Company continues to identify opportunities to optimize the development schedule.Endnotes(1)The Company has secured over $1.0 billion in capital since the beginning of 2025 through a combination of financings. This includes (i) approximately $184 million in gross proceeds raised in May 2025 through a public offering and a concurrent private placement, with up to an additional $130 million assuming full exercise of the related in-the-money warrants over the next 18 months, (ii) a $250 million royalty financing with Franco-Nevada (of which $225 million was funded at closing on March 16, 2026 with approximately $165 million used to pay legacy debt obligations, and $25 million remains subject to drawdown conditions), (iii) convertible senior notes issued on March 23, 2026 for an aggregate principle amount of $287.5 million, and (iv) $150 million under the Gold Prepay Facility with National Bank of Canada and Macquarie Bank with an additional $100 million available under an accordion feature, subject to drawdown conditions.

(2)Based on capital costs, gold output estimates and average annual gold output targets in the most recent life of mine gold output schedules disclosed in the latest technical studies filed for each respective project and related property: the Lone Tree Facility, Granite Creek underground, Archimedes underground, Cove underground and Granite Creek open pit when using a gold price assumption of $3,600 per ounce for the purposes of anticipated cash flow from operations. While the economics of the latest technical studies were completed using a gold price assumption of $2,175 per ounce with gold price sensitivities of up to $3,000 per ounce, a gold price assumption of $3,600 per ounce is in line with current long term consensus prices.


These anticipated output figures are preliminary in nature and are based on mineral resources, which do not have demonstrated economic viability, and are not mineral reserves. In addition, each of the foregoing technical reports are preliminary economic assessments/initial assessments that are preliminary in nature and each include an economic analysis that is based, in part, on inferred mineral resources. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have for the application of economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. As such, there is no certainty that the output targets will be realized. The anticipated output targets are also pending the refurbishment and commissioning of the Lone Tree Plant. The output targets presented herein are Company goals and not a projection of results and should not be taken as output guidance. All of the Company's projects are considered exploration stage projects under S-K 1300 because the Company has not determined mineral reserves at any of its properties pursuant to S-K 1300. With respect to Granite Creek underground and Archimedes underground, located on the Ruby Hill property, the Company has started extraction activities without determining mineral reserves.


The following technical reports for each project and related property have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101: Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Cove Project, Lander County, Nevada (March 31, 2025); Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Granite Creek Mine Project, Humboldt County, Nevada, USA (March 31, 2025); and Preliminary Economic Assessment NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Ruby Hill Project, Eureka Country, Nevada, USA (March 31, 2025). Corresponding technical reports prepared in accordance with S-K 1300 are as follows: Initial Assessment & Technical Report Summary for the Cove Project, Lander County, Nevada (March 26, 2025); Initial Assessment of the Granite Creek Mine, Humboldt County, NV (March 26, 2025); and Initial Assessment of the Ruby Hill Project, Eureka County NV (March 29, 2025).About i-80 Gold Corp.i-80 Gold Corp. is a Nevada-focused mining company committed to building a mid-tier gold producer through a new development plan to advance its high-quality asset portfolio.

PR Newswire (Canada)

All amounts referenced herein are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.TORONTO, March 16, 2026 /CNW/ - i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX:IAU) (NYSE American:IAUX) ("i-80 Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the closing of the previously announced $250 million royalty financing (the "Royalty Financing") with a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada"). The Company used a portion of the Royalty Financing proceeds to complete the mandatory redemption of its 8% secured convertible debentures due in 2027 ("2027 Convertible Debentures") and to settle a convertible loan and Gold Prepay Agreement held by affiliates of Orion Mine Finance ("Orion").







"Together, these transactions represent a major step forward in the Company's recapitalization, significantly strengthening the balance sheet and positioning i-80 Gold to continue advancing its development plan towards becoming a mid-tier gold producer in Nevada," said Richard Young, President & Chief Executive Officer. "We thank Orion, Franco-Nevada and our debenture holders for assisting the Company in advancing its prospective portfolio of projects." Completion of Franco-Nevada Royalty FinancingPursuant to the Royalty Financing, Franco-Nevada is paying $250 million to the Company in exchange for a 1.5% life-of-mine ("LOM") net smelter return royalty ("NSR"), stepping up to a 3.0% LOM net smelter return royalty on January 1, 2031. The royalty payable to Franco-Nevada applies to production from all mineral properties in the Company's portfolio. At closing, a total of $225 million of the Royalty Financing was advanced to the Company with approximately $165 million used to extinguish the legacy debt obligations described below, with the remaining balance to be used to advance the Mineral Point open pit oxide project and construction of the Archimedes underground project. In total, $50 million of the Royalty Financing has been dedicated to advancing Mineral Point infill drilling, engineering and early-stage permitting in 2026, supporting a pre-feasibility study anticipated for completion in 2027. The remaining $25 million of the Royalty Financing is payable following the expenditure of an initial $25 million allocated for Mineral Point, which is expected to be made available later this year.Redemption of 2027 Convertible DebenturesThe Company has completed the mandatory redemption of its 2027 Convertible Debentures for a total cash payment of $73 million, including the principal amount of $65 million and accrued interest of approximately $5.3 million. Total accrued interest on the debentures amounted to approximately $18.7 million. Approximately 70% of the 2027 Convertible Debenture holders elected to receive their accrued interest in common shares of the Company, resulting in the issuance of approximately 8.1 million common shares, while the remaining interest was paid in cash. A 4% premium associated with the early mandatory redemption was applied to the principal amount and accrued interest.Repayment of the Gold Prepayment and Convertible Loan Instruments Held by OrionThe Company has repaid in full the Gold Prepay Agreement and Convertible Loan Instruments held by Orion. A Silver Purchase and Sale Agreement held by Orion remains in place, as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The total payout to Orion was $92 million, comprising the convertible loan, including a principal amount of $50 million and approximately $20 million of accrued interest, together with the outstanding balance under the Gold Prepay Agreement. An additional 3 million common shares were issued to Orion as part of the early redemption.This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Gold Demand Just Broke a Record - Supply Can't Keep UpMarch 2, 2026 9:15 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of Golden Goose Resources Corp.VANCOUVER, BC, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary - A Reuters poll of analysts forecasts gold will deliver another record-setting year in 2026, with 95% of surveyed central banks expecting global holdings to rise, the highest share ever recorded.[1] U.S. gold demand doubled to 679 tonnes in 2025, a 140% year-over-year increase, while ETF inflows reached 437 tonnes, pushing holdings to a record $280 billion in assets under management.[2] Companies positioned across the gold exploration and production spectrum include Golden Goose Resources (CSE: GGR) (OTCQB: GGRFF), Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG), Banyan Gold (TSXV: BYN), i-80 Gold (TSX: IAU), and Allied Gold (TSX: AAUC).







Goldman Sachs raised its end-2026 gold price forecast to $5,400 per ounce, expecting sustained central bank purchasing of 60 to 70 tonnes monthly alongside anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts.[3] Meanwhile, S&P Global forecasts the all-in sustaining cost for silver will rise 3.8% to $23.44 per ounce in 2026, reflecting broader inflationary pressures reshaping the global mining cost landscape.[4]Golden Goose Resources (CSE: GGR) (OTCQB: GGRFF) recently announced the commencement of systematic geological mapping and channel sampling at its Gran Esperanza Project, a highly prospective gold-silver property spanning 44,400 hectares in the Los Menucos District of Río Negro Province, Argentina.The current program represents the first phase of a comprehensive field campaign designed to better define the epithermal vein system and refine priority exploration targets across the property. Geological crews are conducting property-wide mapping, detailed structural analysis within key mineralized corridors, and systematic channel sampling across exposed quartz veins and alteration zones.Channel samples are being collected at approximately 50-metre intervals along veins to assess grade distribution and strike continuity. Historical results from the property have returned channel samples of 2.0m at 24.0 g/t Au, 5.0m at 13.1 g/t Au, and 1.3m at 11.5 g/t Au, with rock chip samples grading up to 24.4 g/t Au."We are pleased to initiate this important phase of exploration at Gran Esperanza. This systematic program is designed to generate critical geological and geochemical data that will enhance our understanding of the scale and continuity of mineralization on the Property," said Dustin Nanos, CEO of Golden Goose Resources. "Our objective is to methodically advance the Project and establish a strong technical foundation for additional programs including diamond drilling."Previous exploration at Gran Esperanza included 30 trenches totalling 2,937 metres, 690 channel samples, 1,674 rock samples, and over 10 kilometres of mapped epithermal veins. A December 2025 site visit returned a rock chip sample grading 14.34 g/t Au, further confirming the project's high-grade potential.The property is located adjacent to a gold project being drilled by Southern Copper and near the Calcatreu Project currently under development, highlighting the district's active exploration profile. Year-round accessible and just two kilometres from a highway, Gran Esperanza offers favourable infrastructure for advancing exploration.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for Golden Goose Resources at:https://equity-insider.com/2026/01/28/two-gold-projects-two-major-neighbors-what-does-this-junior-know-that-the-market-doesnt/In other industry developments:Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) recently announced drill results including 4.18 g/t Au over 14.6 metres and 3.73 g/t Au over 17.3 metres at the Wenot deposit in Guyana, South America.

"As part of our fair approach to the early retirement of these Debentures, we elected to extend the deadline of the Interest Election Right to ensure that Debentureholders have sufficient time to fully evaluate their options," said Ryan Snow, Chief Financial Officer. "This adjustment reflects our commitment to executing the redemption process in a fair, orderly and transparent manner."To exercise their Interest Election Right, registered holders of the Debentures must complete and return a share interest election notice (the "Interest Election Notice") to i-80 GOLD CORP. c/o TSX Trust Company, 100 Adelaide Street West, Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1, Attention: Corporation Actions. Email: tmxestaff-corporatetrust@tmx.com by the Deadline. Copies of the Interest Election Notice may be obtained from the Company's information agent for the redemption, Shorecrest Group, at their contact particulars set out below.Debentureholders whose Debentures are registered in the name of an investment dealer, bank, trust company, or other intermediary should immediately contact that intermediary for assistance if they wish to submit an Interest Election Notice in respect of the Debentures they hold in order to take the necessary steps.

PR Newswire (US)

TORONTO, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX: IAU) (NYSE American: IAUX) ("i-80 Gold" or the "Company") reports its operating and financial results, as well as development highlights, for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.







"In 2025 we made significant progress in advancing our development plan and recapitalizing the Company's balance sheet," said Richard Young, President & CEO. We advanced technical and permitting work, as well as exploration and infill drilling programs across our gold projects in the development plan. We also completed the Lone Tree refurbishment study which underpins our hub and spoke processing strategy for our three high-grade underground mines. We are targeting to complete our recapitalization plan by the end of the first quarter, which is expected to fully fund phase one and two of our development plans while also providing flexibility and optionality for both our near-term and longer-term growth plans, at competitive costs.""As we enter 2026, we look forward to ramping up production at Granite Creek, beginning the refurbishment of our Lone Tree Plant, commencing mining at our second underground mine Archimedes, and continuing to advance our technical and permitting work on our remaining projects, in particular at Mineral Point, our large open pit heap leach project. We anticipate this year to be another transformational year for i-80 Gold," added Mr. Young.2025 FINANCIAL, OPERATING AND DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts referred to herein are in U.S. dollars.Fourth QuarterRevenue from gold sales for the quarter was $21.3 million, from 5,477 ounces(1) at an average realized gold price(2) of $3,887 per ounce compared to revenues of $23.2 million from gold sales of 9,053 ounces(1) at an average realized gold price(2) of $2,560 per ounce. The Company held a higher inventory balance during the fourth quarter due primarily to the timing of third-party processing. The stockpile balance was over 6,500 recovered ounces of gold which is expected to be processed during the first quarter of 2026.Gross profit increased to $4.7 million from $1.8 million compared to the year prior, due primarily to a stronger gold price. Granite Creek generated gross profit for the second half of 2025.Net loss increased to $85.6 million compared to $17.7 million due primarily to non-cash fair value revaluations on derivative financial instruments of $21.5 million driven by stronger metal prices and the Company's increased share price. Additionally, a non-cash write-down of $26.2 million related to Lone Tree Plant assets that were identified as redundant following the completion of the related engineering study, and higher pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenses were incurred as the Company advances multiple projects. Upon declaration of mineral reserves, certain pre-development, evaluation, and exploration expenditures currently expensed will be capitalized.Adjusted loss increased to $37.8 million compared to $25.0 million due to increased spending on pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenses.Cash used in operating activities of $34.3 million increased compared to $9.2 million in the year prior as a result of increased pre-development, evaluation, and exploration expenses.Cash and cash equivalents of $63.2 million as at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $39.6 million compared to September 30, 2025, primarily due to cash used in pre-development, evaluation, and exploration expenses, capital expenditures on property, plant, and equipment primarily for the Lone Tree Plant study, the repayment of the Sprott Convertible Loan and a build up of finished goods and stockpile at year-end.Completed the Lone Tree Plant engineering study which confirmed plant design, processing capacity, and scope of work, resulting in a capital cost estimate of $412 million, inclusive of contingency, owner's cost and first fills, plus $18 million in capital spares for a total of $430 million.Year Ended December 31, 2025Revenue from gold sales increased to $95.2 million from $50.3 million in the prior year which represented 28,196 ounces(1) at an average realized gold price(2) of $3,368 per ounce, compared to gold sales of 21,527 ounces at an average realized gold price(2) of $2,332 per ounce as mining activity at Granite Creek increased.Achieved 2025 guidance with 31,930 ounces of consolidated gold output, an increase from the prior year as mining activities continued to ramp up at Granite Creek underground.Gross profit improved to $11.5 million from a gross loss of $15.7 million due to increased revenue. Granite Creek generated gross profit for the second half of 2025.Net loss of $198.8 million compared to $121.5 million in the prior year was higher due to other expenses from non-cash fair value revaluation losses, a non-cash write-down, and higher pre-development, evaluation and exploration expense as the Company advances multiple projects within its development plan partially offset by higher gross profit.Adjusted loss increased to $122.9 million from $111.2 million due to increased spending on pre-development, evaluation, and exploration expenses as the Company advanced multiple projects within its development plan, partially offset by higher gross profit.Cash used in operating activities was $83.6 million, comparable to $82.5 million in the prior year.Cash balance of $63.2 million as at December 31, 2025, an increase of $44.2 million during the year due to proceeds from the brokered and private placements and higher gross profit, partially offset by a principal repayment on the Company's Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement, along with the its convertible loan with Sprott Capital Partners.Completed approximately 37,000 meters of drilling across the portfolio, including mineral resource definition drilling at Granite Creek underground to support a planned feasibility study, technical drilling at Mineral Point open pit, infill drilling at Archimedes underground to enhance mineral resource definition ahead of mining, and resource definition and geotechnical drilling at Cove underground to support a planned feasibility study.Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate improved to 0.62 compared to 1.27 in the year prior.Strengthened technical leadership with the appointment of a new Chief Operating Officer and added depth across core management roles in operations, technical services and permitting.Received all required permits and commenced construction for the upper level of the Archimedes underground project — the Company's second underground mine — marking a key milestone in Phase one of its development plan.Commenced early works activities for the Lone Tree Plant refurbishment under a limited notice-to-proceed, followed by the completion of the engineering study of the refurbishment design and the capital costs.Stabilized groundwater inflow at Granite Creek underground — the Company's first brownfield project to be redeveloped — through enhanced dewatering infrastructure and a predictive groundwater model, improving development and mining rates.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND RECAPITALIZATION In 2025, i-80 Gold focused on advancing its three-phased development plan to create a mid-tier gold producer by the early 2030s. Phase one includes the ramp up of Granite Creek underground, the construction of the Archimedes underground mine, and the refurbishment of the Company's Lone Tree Plant which will act as a central processing facility. This phase is expected to increase i-80 Gold's production to between 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold(3) from less than 50,000 ounces currently. Phase two involves the development of the Cove underground project and Granite Creek open pit, which is expected to increase companywide production to between 300,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold(3). Phase three is expected to bring Mineral Point, a large open pit heap leach project, into operation increasing production levels to over 600,000 ounces of gold(3).During the year, the Company significantly strengthened its balance sheet through several financing initiatives which ultimately culminated in the significant financing package announced in February 2026. The financing package of up to $500 million consists of a royalty sale of $250 million with Franco-Nevada Corporation, and a gold prepayment facility with National Bank of Canada and Macquarie Bank Limited for an initial $150 million together with an uncommitted accordion feature for an additional $100 million(4) (collectively, the "Financing Package"). The royalty sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is anticipated to be completed on or about March 17, 2026, and closing of the prepayment facility is subject to customary closing conditions, including but not limited to, an intercreditor arrangement and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2026. The Company has issued a notice of redemption of its existing convertible debentures as part of the recapitalization plan to provide the required security under the Financing Package. The Company is also contemplating the potential sale of a non-core asset and the issuance of debt or equity, or a combination thereof, to complete the recapitalization plan, which once complete, is expected to fully fund Phase one and Phase two of the development plan(3,6).Upon completion of the Financing Package, the proceeds will be used to refurbish the Lone Tree Plant, fund resource expansion and infill drilling, and advance development, technical and permitting activities across the Company's portfolio of assets, as well as for working capital purposes. The proceeds will also be used to extinguish the Company's existing debt obligations of approximately $175 million(5). The Financing Package also provides flexibility to accelerate the feasibility study and permitting work for the Mineral Point open pit project. With several feasibility studies currently in progress, we continue to identify opportunities to optimize the development schedule for Phases two and Phase three.OutlookThe Company achieved its 2025 guidance of 30,000 to 40,000 ounces, reporting 31,930 ounces of gold output, despite gold production being impacted by the timing of third-party processing. Granite Creek underground contributed 22,977 ounces within its expected range of between 20,000 to 30,000 ounces(3). The Company's two residual heap leach operations contributed 8,953 ounces of gold compared to the approximately 10,000 ounces expected in 2025. Had timing of processing by the Company's third-party processor been in line with plan, production for the year would have been at the higher end of the guidance range, given as at the end of December 2025, over 6,500 recovered ounces of gold were stockpiled at the third-party processing facility. In 2025, the Company met its expected growth expenditures of between $40 million to $50 million that is primarily recognized in pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenditures.2026 OutlookThe Company's 2026 production, operating and pre-development, evaluation and exploration cost guidance is summarized below:

Permitting and technical$M$20 - $30Notes to table above:(a)Granite Creek mine development costs will be capitalized upon the declaration of reserves, assuming reserves will be declared in the feasibility study which is,
 expected in the second quarter of 2026.At Granite Creek, guidance is largely in line with the Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the corresponding Initial Assessment prepared under S-K 1300 each published in the first quarter of 2025 (collectively, the "PEA"), with some exceptions. As previously disclosed, the impact of underground water was not reflected in the PEA, resulting in (i) higher waste development rates required to catch up on development, (ii) additional capital required for dewatering infrastructure, (iii) lower grades processed in 2026 due to the delay in accessing the higher grade South Pacific Zone. Additionally, relative to the PEA, both recoveries and processing costs are higher due to the toll milling agreement entered into subsequent to the release of the PEA. Material mined is approximately 20% higher than the PEA, while mining, G&A and development and sustaining costs are in line. Step out and infill drilling budgets have been increased relative to the PEA due to the success of the 2025 program.At Archimedes, tonnes and mined grade, and development costs are largely in line with the PEA. The exception is processing costs related to the new toll milling agreement entered into following the release of the PEA. Costs related to the Archimedes feasibility study have been brought forward to 2026 versus 2028 in the PEA. This includes infill drilling costs with an additional $10 million for an exploration drift and the cost of drilling longer holes.Costs associated with pre-development activities at Mineral Point have been brought forward to 2026 from 2028. Resource expansion and infill drilling along with technical and early permitting activities are expected to total between $40 to $45 million and be funded through the portion of the proceeds from the Franco-Nevada Corporation royalty allocated to Mineral Point.Other technical work, permitting activities, and holding costs are largely in line with estimates published in the respective PEAs.This outlook, including expected results and targets, is subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which may impact future performance and the Company's ability to achieve the results and targets discussed in this section. Please refer to the "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information" section. The Company may, but is under no obligation to, update this outlook depending on changes in metal prices and other factors.Upcoming Catalysts Over the next 12 to 18 months, the Company expects to deliver the following key catalysts across its gold portfolio while also identifying opportunities to optimize the development schedule:Technical StudiesCove underground (Feasibility) — Q2 2026Granite Creek underground (Feasibility) — Q2 2026Archimedes underground (Feasibility) — Q1 2027Granite Creek open pit (Pre-feasibility/Feasibility) — Timeline under reviewMineral Point open pit (Pre-feasibility/Feasibility) — Timeline under review

"Operations progressed well through the fourth quarter, closing out a busy and productive year," said Paul Chawrun, Chief Operating Officer. "At Granite Creek underground, operations are on plan with ongoing upgrades to the water management infrastructure, resulting in expected improvements to the development rates and main decline advancement in 2026. The exploration campaign to infill drill the South Pacific Zone reported strong results to enhance the resource definition and will form the basis of the upcoming feasibility study.""At Ruby Hill, development of the Archimedes underground continues to progress very well with advancement rates, infrastructure, and resource definition of the upper 426 zone ahead of plan. A key focus for the next several months will be to advance the main decline towards initiation of the exploration drift to allow for the progression of the feasibility-level technical work for Ruby Deeps and the 426 zone at depth. At Lone Tree, work has been ongoing with the initial basic engineering and the long lead procurement packages as planned, with project completion remaining for first pour by December 31, 2027, as outlined in the Class 3 engineering study announced December 2025," added Mr. Chawrun. "Looking ahead to 2026, the exploration programs include additional resource definition and exploration drilling at Granite Creek, alongside substantial drilling campaigns planned for Ruby Deeps within lower Archimedes and at Mineral Point. We expect to have another productive year as we continue to prove out the potential of our asset base," added Mr. Chawrun.Granite Creek PropertyThe Granite Creek property includes the Granite Creek underground project, a fully permitted, constructed and operating mine and the Granite Creek open pit oxide deposit adjacent to the underground project, currently in early-stage permitting and technical work. Granite Creek underground is the Company's first brownfield project to be redeveloped and is currently ramping up towards steady-state gold output.Granite Creek Property

The outperformance was due to increased access to mineralized material from ongoing stope development, adjustments to mine sequencing, improving ground conditions and the delineation of additional high-grade areas through short-term drilling that were not included in the original resource model. Water inflows remained stable during the quarter and the upgraded pumping system continued to perform as expected. The construction of the water treatment plant is on track for completion near the end of the second quarter of 2026. The water treatment plant is designed to increase the capacity for surface water treatment and improve the management of water quality in preparation for ultimate discharge, supporting the Company's long-term groundwater management objectives and future operating stability.The Company continues to encounter elevated levels of oxide mineralized material compared to levels anticipated in the March 2025 PEA at Granite Creek. The lower-grade oxide mineralized material continues to be suitable for processing via heap leach at the Company's Lone Tree heap leach facility.During the year, the Company's stockpile of sulfide mineralized material, which is processed under a third-party toll milling agreement, reached higher than expected levels due to delays at the third-party processing facility. As at December 31, 2025, the sulfide mineralized material stockpile of over 6,500 recovered ounces of gold is expected to be processed during the first quarter of 2026.Pre-development, evaluation, and exploration expenses were $15.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and $38.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were primarily related to underground mine development and infill drilling to upgrade mineral resources.Infill DrillingInfill drilling of the South Pacific Zone was initiated in June 2025 and concluded at the end of the year. These infill drilling results successfully support the geological model, confirming the continuity and high-grade nature of the deposit. The overall program included 16,000 meters drilled over 46 holes, including six additional infill holes to test and confirm continuity of mineralization. Additionally, results from seven step-out holes reinforced the Company's belief in the potential to expand mineralization in the South Pacific Zone which could ultimately expand the Project's mine life. Assay results demonstrated robust high-grade mineralization throughout the South Pacific Zone and suggest the potential to continue to expand the South Pacific Zone to the north and at depth. Results from this drill program can be found in the most recent news release dated January 20, 2026 titled, "i-80 Gold Reports New High-grade Assay Results Reinforcing Resource Expansion Potential at Granite Creek Underground Project".This program was primarily focused on infill drilling to support the conversion of mineral resources from the inferred resource category to the indicated category to form the basis for the upcoming feasibility study and mine plan for Granite Creek underground. Results from the 2025 drill program will be combined with infill drilling data from 2023 and 2024 to produce an updated mineral resource estimate using three years of additional data and to evaluate potential production and productivity improvements as the water management improves with additional lateral extent of the mineralized zone and improved ground conditions with depth. The feasibility study is planned for completion in the second quarter of 2026.The Company is encouraged by the operating and technical improvements at Granite Creek and continues to believe this project represents significant future value. Exploration drilling is planned in 2026 to test high potential targets and additional drilling to further delineate resources.  Granite Creek Open PitFollowing the release of the Granite Creek open pit PEA, technical work has been underway to advance the project toward either a pre-feasibility or a feasibility level study. Simultaneously, technical trade off analyses are being conducted to optimize the project economics. Geotechnical and metallurgical drilling locations have been identified, and a study schedule is under management review. Geotechnical drilling in support of the selection of facility site locations was deferred in 2025 due to ongoing operating permit updates for the underground, pushing the start of drilling for the open pit project into 2026, and resulting in a timeline that is under review to optimize the future growth plan.Permitting activities for the open pit expansion progressed as planned, with initial biological baseline field studies completed in the period ending December 2025. Based on preliminary assessments of potential environmental impacts, the project may require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") under the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") process. Early-stage permitting activities will continue in 2026 followed by commencement of baseline field studies in 2027 to support the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") permitting process.Ruby Hill PropertyThe Ruby Hill property includes the Archimedes underground project, the Company's second planned underground mine for which construction began during the third quarter, and the Mineral Point open pit which is a large oxide gold and silver deposit with the potential to become the Company's largest gold producing asset. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company finalized a PEA for the Ruby Hill property covering both the Archimedes underground and Mineral Point open pit.At Archimedes underground, permitting for mining above the 5100-foot level is complete. Construction has progressed above expectations and approximately 682 meters of development has been completed during the year. Infill delineation drilling of the 426 zone of upper Archimedes commenced in the fourth quarter and initiation of infill drilling in the Ruby Deeps zone of lower Archimedes is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2026, which will form the basis of a feasibility study expected in the first quarter of 2027, approximately 12 months earlier than indicated in the PEA. Predictive groundwater models for Archimedes underground have started with construction of an additional dewatering well in the first quarter of 2026. Permitting activities below the 5100-foot elevation are underway with an estimated completion by mid-2027, while reviewing opportunities to expedite the timeline.The timeframe for first gold mined is in the second half of 2026. The Company continues to leach the historic leach pads on the property recovering minor amounts of gold.Capital expenditures for the year were primarily from the construction of a maintenance shop related to the Archimedes underground access portal and purchases of light equipment.At Mineral Point open pit, the drill program that commenced in the second quarter of 2025 continued with two surface core drill rigs and completed 5,532 meters of surface core drilling during the year ended December 31, 2025. This drill program was designed to support geotechnical, metallurgical and hydrogeology studies for baseline data to advance permitting and engineering work. Mineral Point currently hosts the Company's largest gold and silver mineral resources. Due to the economic potential at Mineral Point, the Company is accelerating infill drilling and technical work to support pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. The proposed royalty financing comprising part of the Financing Package committed subsequent to December 31, 2025 contemplates $50 million available to advance these projects in 2026.Pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenditures were $8.9 million and $18.4 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to increased spending at the Archimedes underground project. The higher expenditure is driven by a decline advance rate that exceeded expectations, resulting in accelerated development activity and the construction of surface infrastructure.For the residual leaching process, management is focused on improving solution management and optimizing cyanide application rates with the objective of increasing production from the historic leach pad during the first quarter of 2026.Cove ProjectCove is an advanced stage exploration project and is expected to be the Company's third underground mine.National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") permitting activities are underway with the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") at Cove in anticipation of an EIS. i-80 Gold is actively advancing major permit applications with the goal of aligning regulatory approvals with planned development timelines.Over the last two years, the Company completed approximately 32,992 meters of infill drilling at Cove. Drilling was conducted across the Gap and Helen zones on approximately 30-meter spacing. The result of this work advanced management's understanding of the Cove project by providing a more robust geological model, a greater understanding of the gold mineralization including continuity and grade, and increased confidence in future mineral resource delineation reinforcing the potential for a high-grade underground operation. Collectively, the program has strengthened the technical foundation required for the transition from the current PEA work towards completing a feasibility study, which is planned for completion in the second quarter of 2026 and which will replace the Cove PEA filed in March 2025.Based on this additional work, it is now anticipated that the forthcoming mineral resource estimate for Cove – to be included in the 2026 planned feasibility study – is expected to reflect a conversion of currently estimated inferred and indicated resources into higher confidence categories of resource classification. These results further validate the Company's understanding of Cove as representing a Carlin-style mineralized system with an anticipated high degree of mineral resource conversion through additional drilling.Lone Tree PlantThe Lone Tree Plant is envisioned to process material from the Company's three underground mines, Granite Creek, Archimedes, and Cove, to establish a regional hub-and-spoke mining and processing model. Upon refurbishment and commissioning as planned, the Lone Tree Plant will allow the Company to transition from toll milling to owner-operated processing. This shift is expected to materially increase operating margins and enhance free cash flow generation.During the fourth quarter, a Study was completed for the Lone Tree Plant refurbishment. The Study updates an internal feasibility study completed in 2023 to incorporate design optimizations, value engineering initiatives, a filtered tailings system, and updated cost estimates to support an improved execution strategy. A positive construction decision was made in the first quarter of 2026 with the recapitalization. Plant commissioning is anticipated at the end of 2027.The Lone Tree Plant is expected to operate at a nameplate capacity of 2,268 tonnes per day or 827,806 tonnes per annum, consistent with historic production rates. The processing circuit will incorporate an integrated pressure oxidation ("POX") and carbon-in-leach ("CIL") circuits capable of processing both refractory (sulfide) and non-refractory (oxide) mineralized material. The scope of work includes a combination of improved design components and the replacement of some existing infrastructure aimed at modernizing the Lone Tree Plant to improve process efficiency and operating flexibility, and to meet new environmental compliance standards, including the upgrade of the existing autoclave to a modern pressure oxidation circuit.The refurbishment has a capital cost estimate of $412 million, inclusive of contingency, owner's costs, and first fills, plus $18 million in capital spares for a total of $430 million. The estimate is higher than the anticipated amount of approximately $400 million, largely due to increased costs associated with inflation and engineering design details, and additional redundancy by expanding the capacity of the filtered tailings system.In August 2025, the Board of Directors approved a limited notice to proceed with detailed engineering to allow for the procurement of long-lead equipment and the details required for updating operating permits. The Lone Tree Plant is permitted for the existing operational components in use. The approval of new and revised permit applications pertaining to air quality, water pollution control, mercury abatement, and reclamation management programs for the new design remain outstanding. The Company is targeting submittal of the necessary applications for the primary environmental permits in the first quarter of 2026. Various construction activities will commence upon the approval of the associated permits.The leaching of the historic leach pad at Lone Tree continues to produce gold at profitable quantities.Capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2025 and in the comparative period were primarily related to the technical work to support the refurbishment of the Lone Tree Plant. FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThis press release should be read in conjunction with i-80 Gold's annual report on Form 10-K, including the audited consolidated financial statements and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation for the year ended December 31, 2025 included therein, which is available on the Company's website at www.i80gold.com, and under the Company's issuer profile on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCASTManagement will hold a conference call and audio webcast to discuss the fourth quarter and full year highlights followed by a question-and-answer session with participants.

i-80 Gold Secures Financing Package of up to $500 Million to Advance Development PlanFebruary 12, 2026 7:17 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Recapitalization plan anticipated to close by the end of the first quarter 2026 All amounts referenced herein are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX: IAU) (NYSE American: IAUX) ("i-80 Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has secured a financing package (the "Financing Package") of up to $500 million, comprised of a royalty sale for $250 million and a gold pre-payment facility for up to $250 million. The Financing Package marks a significant milestone in achieving the Company's recapitalization plans.The proceeds of the Financing Package, combined with the previously disclosed equity offerings completed by the Company in the second quarter of 2025(1) (the "Equity Offerings"), represent over $800 million in funding to support i-80 Gold's objective of creating a mid-tier gold producer in Nevada. The final steps to complete the recapitalization plan targeting an overall amount of $900 million to $1 billion, include the Company's plan to retire and replace its existing convertible debentures with new convertible debentures on terms more favourable to the Company and the potential sale of a non-core asset. This is expected to fully fund Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the development plan(2,3), which is expected to increase annual production to approximately 300,000 – 400,000 ounces of gold(3) from less than 50,000 ounces currently, driven by the Company's three underground mines and one oxide open pit operation all located in Nevada (see Figure 1 in Appendix).Highlights Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada") commitment letter to provide $250 million in royalty financing, of which $225 million is expected to be available at closing.National Bank of Canada ("National Bank") and Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie") commitment to provide a gold prepayment facility (the "Gold Prepay" or the "Facility") for an initial advance of $150 million at closing, with an accordion feature for a further $100 million.The proceeds of the Financing Package will be used to advance the Company's five gold projects through various stages of development, refurbish the Lone Tree Plant, and fund resource expansion and infill drilling, as well as for working capital purposes.The proceeds of the Financing Package will also be used to extinguish the Company's existing debt obligations of approximately $175 million(4).The Company continues to advance the potential sale of a non-core asset and plans to replace the existing convertible debentures to complete the recapitalization plan."In 2024, we announced a three-phase development plan to increase production to more than 600,000 ounces of gold(3) to provide a clear and achievable path to positioning i-80 Gold as a mid-tier gold producer, alongside a plan to recapitalize the Company to support this growth strategy," said Richard Young, President and CEO. "Since then, we have significantly de-risked and advanced each asset, and we are now pleased to outline a clear financial path to fully fund Phase 1 and Phase 2(2,3). With Granite Creek underground in operation, we are positioned to advance Archimedes and Cove underground projects plus Granite Creek open pit through to operation, complete the refurbishment of our central Lone Tree Plant, and continue to invest in exploration."Mr. Young added, "The Financing Package also provides flexibility to accelerate the feasibility study and permitting work for the Mineral Point open pit project – our flagship asset and the final project planned in Phase 3. With several feasibility studies in progress, we continue to identify opportunities to optimize the development schedule."Franco-Nevada RoyaltyThe Company has entered into a commitment letter with Franco-Nevada for $250 million in financing in exchange for a 1.5% life-of-mine ("LOM") net smelter return royalty, stepping up to a 3.0% LOM net smelter return royalty on January 1, 2031 (the "Royalty Financing"). The Royalty Financing is subject to customary closing conditions and is anticipated to be completed on or about March 17, 2026. The royalty payable to Franco-Nevada pursuant to the Royalty Financing would apply to production from all mineral properties in the portfolio, including Granite Creek, Cove, the Ruby Hill Complex and Lone Tree.Upon closing of the Financing Package, $225 million of the Royalty Financing will be made available to the Company, of which $25 million is required to be allocated to the advancement of technical and early-stage permitting activities for Mineral Point in 2026. The remaining $25 million of the Royalty Financing is also expected to be made available in 2026 to further advance Mineral Point, following the expenditure of the initial disbursement toward the project. In total, the Financing Package allows the Company to allocate $50 million to advance resource expansion and infill drilling, technical and early-stage permitting activities at Mineral Point in 2026.Gold Prepayment Facility The Company has secured commitments for a Gold Prepay facility with National Bank and Macquarie, for an initial advance of $150 million at closing, with a $100 million accordion feature. Upon the closing of the Financing Package, the Company will have access to $150 million(5), with the obligation to deliver 39,978 ounces of gold over a 30-month period beginning in January 2028. The accordion feature provides access to an additional $100 million for a 24-month period upon closing of the Facility, subject to customary conditions and lender approval. The Company anticipates executing the accordion feature in the first half of 2027, at which point the number of additional gold ounces to be delivered will be determined. The Company expects the total ounces to be delivered for the full $250 million facility to represent approximately 15% of total gold output over the projected period of January 2028 to June 2030. Closing of the Facility is subject to customary closing conditions and intercreditor arrangements and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2026.Further, i-80 Gold selected the Facility with National Bank and Macquarie with a goal of transitioning the Gold Prepay into a corporate revolver following the completion of Phase 1 to fund the development of Mineral Point. Mineral Point currently hosts the Company's largest gold and silver mineral resources and is designed to be a large-scale oxide open pit heap leach project. Mineral Point represents Phase 3 of the development plan and its Preliminary Economic Assessment filed in Q1 2025 outlined a 17-year mine life with a LOM gold equivalent output of 282,000 ounces annually(6). Assuming development as contemplated in the Preliminary Economic Assessment, Mineral Point is expected to drive company-wide gold output beyond a target of 600,000 ounces annually starting in 2032(3), representing a significant change in the Company's output profile (see Figure 2 in Appendix)."The commitments from Franco-Nevada, National Bank and Macquarie, following a detailed due diligence process, underscore the quality of our asset base, the depth of our team, and the credibility of our execution plan," said Ryan Snow, Chief Financial Officer. "After a competitive process, in which multiple term sheets were received and considered by the Company, the Financing Package represents a cost competitive, low dilution opportunity, while providing flexibility around the timing and the availability of capital to support our sequenced development plans across all three phases in our development plan. We are pleased to be working with long-term financial partners who are recognized in the mining sector and support our growth strategy."This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.  The securities referenced in this press release have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Stikeman Elliott LLP and Dorsey & Whitney, LLP are acting as legal advisors to the Company in connection with the Financing Package.Technical Disclosure and Qualified PersonsThe technical information contained in this press release has been prepared under the supervision of, and has been reviewed and approved by Paul Chawrun P.Eng., Chief Operating Officer, and Tyler Hill CPG., Vice President, Geology for the Company, each of whom are qualified persons within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300").Endnotes(1)In May 2025, the Company completed a public offering of 345,760,000 units at $0.50 per unit for gross proceeds of $172,880,000, including exercise of the over-allotment option. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.70 until November 16, 2027. A concurrent private placement for 22,240,000 units under the same terms generated $11,120,000 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $184,000,000, with up to $130,000,000 in additional proceeds assuming full exercise of the warrants over the next 18 months.

(2)Based on LOM gold output and capital costs outlined in the most recent LOM schedules disclosed in the latest technical studies filed for each respective project and related property: the Lone Tree Facility, Granite Creek underground, Archimedes underground, Cove underground and Granite Creek open pit when using a gold price assumption of $3,600/oz for the purposes of anticipated cash flow from operations. While the economics of the latest technical studies were completed at $2,175/oz with gold price sensitivities of up to $3,000/oz, a gold price assumption of $3,600/oz is in line with current long term consensus prices.

(3)Consolidated gold output estimates and average annual gold output targets are based on the most recent LOM output schedules disclosed in the latest technical studies filed for each respective project and related property: Granite Creek underground project, Archimedes underground project, Cove underground project, Granite Creek open pit project, and Mineral Point open pit project. These anticipated output figures are preliminary in nature and are based on mineral resources, which do not have demonstrated economic viability, and are not mineral reserves. In addition, each of the foregoing technical reports are preliminary economic assessments/initial assessments that are preliminary in nature and each include an economic analysis that is based, in part, on inferred mineral resources. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have for the application of economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. As such, there is no certainty that the output targets will be realized. The anticipated output targets are also pending the refurbishment and commissioning of the Lone Tree Plant. The output targets presented herein are Company goals and not a projection of results and should not be taken as output guidance. All of the Company's projects are considered exploration stage projects under S-K 1300 because the Company has not determined mineral reserves at any of its properties pursuant to S-K 1300. With respect to Granite Creek underground and Archimedes underground, located on the Ruby Hill property, the Company has started extraction activities without determining mineral reserves. The following technical reports for each project and related property have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101: Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Cove Project, Lander County, Nevada (March 31, 2025); Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Granite Creek Mine Project, Humboldt County, Nevada, USA (March 31, 2025); and Preliminary Economic Assessment NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Ruby Hill Project, Eureka Country, Nevada, USA (March 31, 2025). Corresponding technical reports prepared in accordance with S-K 1300 are as follows: Initial Assessment & Technical Report Summary for the Cove Project, Lander County, Nevada (March 26, 2025); Initial Assessment of the Granite Creek Mine, Humboldt County, NV (March 26, 2025); and Initial Assessment of the Ruby Hill Project, Eureka County NV (March 29, 2025).

(4)The proceeds of the Financing Package will be used to retire all of the Company's existing debt obligations, including approximately $95 million to settle the Gold Prepay Agreement and the Convertible Loan with Orion Resource Partners (across various funds) with the exception of a Silver Purchase and Sale Agreement held by Orion Mine Finance Fund III (HG) Ltd. Additionally, Convertible Debentures amounting to approximately $86 million will be retired from the proceeds of the Financing Package. Convertible Debenture holders have the right to elect to convert accrued interest into i-80 Gold common shares.

(5)Under the terms of the Gold Prepay, a condition precedent to the drawdown is a fully funded base case model following the completion of the recapitalization plan.

(6)Gold equivalent ounces ("AuEq oz") defined as recovered Au oz plus recovered Ag oz times the price ratio of Ag to Au. AuEq = Au recovered oz + [(Ag recovered oz) x ($27.25/$2,175)].  LOM overall recoveries for Au and Ag in respect of the Mineral Point are 78% and 41% respectively. Output defined as process recovered ounces. The preliminary economic assessment for Mineral Point, titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Preliminary Economic Assessment of the i-80 Gold Corp. Ruby Hill Project, Eureka County, NV," was filed on March 31, 2025, and was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. The initial assessment for Mineral Point, titled "S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary Initial Assessment of the i-80 Gold Corp. Ruby Hill Project, Eureka County, NV," was filed on April 1, 2025, and was prepared in accordance with S-K 1300.

$I-80 GOLD INTERSECTS HIGH-GRADE GOLD IN OPEN PIT DRILLING AT GRANITE CREEK

6.80 g/t Au over 51.1 Metres – Oxide Mineralization below CX-Pit

Reno, Nevada, August 30, 2021 – i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX:IAU) (OTCQX:IAUCF)
(“i-80”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that assay results
for the first hole drilled at the Company’s Granite Creek Property
(“Granite Creek” or “the Property”) located in Humboldt County, Nevada
has returned high-grade results that confirm the high-grade open pit
opportunity.

Hole iGM21-01, drilled from the bottom of the historic CX-Pit
intersected two zones of mineralization grading
3.17 g/t Au over 7.5 m and
6.80 g/t Au over 51.1 m (see Table 1).

The hole was drilled for metallurgical purposes into the main structure
below the pit (true widths unknown) and returned exceptional grades
that appear to be oxide mineralization based on an average cyanide
soluble to fire assay ratio of 0.94 over both intervals.

The surface drill program targeting open pit mineralization at Granite
Creek is complete (see Figure 2 below) and multiple assays remain
pending.
The drill program was focused on intersecting material to be used for
metallurgical and geotechnical purposes in advance of initiating
permitting for an open pit mine and on-site processing.

$I-80 GOLD INTERSECTS HIGH-GRADE GOLD IN OPEN PIT DRILLING AT GRANITE CREEK

6.80 g/t Au over 51.1 Metres – Oxide Mineralization below CX-Pit

Reno, Nevada, August 30, 2021 – i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX:IAU) (OTCQX:IAUCF)
(“i-80”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that assay results
for the first hole drilled at the Company’s Granite Creek Property
(“Granite Creek” or “the Property”) located in Humboldt County, Nevada
has returned high-grade results that confirm the high-grade open pit
opportunity.

Hole iGM21-01, drilled from the bottom of the historic CX-Pit
intersected two zones of mineralization grading
3.17 g/t Au over 7.5 m and
6.80 g/t Au over 51.1 m (see Table 1).

The hole was drilled for metallurgical purposes into the main structure
below the pit (true widths unknown) and returned exceptional grades
that appear to be oxide mineralization based on an average cyanide
soluble to fire assay ratio of 0.94 over both intervals.

The surface drill program targeting open pit mineralization at Granite
Creek is complete (see Figure 2 below) and multiple assays remain
pending.
The drill program was focused on intersecting material to be used for
metallurgical and geotechnical purposes in advance of initiating
permitting for an open pit mine and on-site processing.

Reno, Nevada, September 7, 2021 – i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX:IAU) (OTCQX:IAUCF) (“i-80”, or the “Company”) is very pleased to announce that it has entered into definitive agreements to create a comprehensive Nevada mining complex through an asset exchange agreement to acquire certain processing infrastructure, including an autoclave, and the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain gold deposits from Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”) via an asset exchange in consideration for: (i) the Company’s 40% ownership in the South Arturo Property which will consolidate 100% ownership of South Arturo in NGM, providing NGM with flexibility to pursue potential operational synergies with NGM’s other Nevada properties; (ii) assignment of i-80’s option to acquire the adjacent Rodeo Creek exploration property; (iii) contingent consideration of up to $50 million based on production from the Lone Tree property; and (iv) arrangement of substitute bonding (and release of NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations at closing. The Company has also entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire the Ruby Hill Mine from affiliates of Waterton Global Resource Management (“Waterton”). Additionally, i-80 has entered into a private placement commitment with NGM whereby, conditional on the asset exchange transaction being completed[1], NGM will acquire from i-80 up to 9.9% interest in new i-80 treasury common shares for aggregate proceeds not to exceed $50 million, and a non-binding term sheet with Orion Mine Finance (“Orion”) for up to $240 million in acquisition and development financing. Equinox Gold Corp (“Equinox”) has also indicated that it will participate in the equity private placement through the exercise of a portion of its anti-dilute rights.

Highlights of the transactions are as follows:

i-80 increases overall Inferred gold Mineral Resource more than three and a half times and more than doubles i-80’s overall gold Measured + Indicated Mineral Resources1
Ruby Hill deposits host more than 100 million ounces of indicated silver mineral resources and more than 70 million ounces of inferred silver mineral resources1
Secures for i-80, the ability to process all types of gold bearing mineralization at the centrally located Lone Tree processing facility situated on Interstate 80 once the necessary refurbishment of the facility is completed. The Lone Tree facility includes an autoclave, carbon-in-leach (CIL) mill, Floatation Plant, and heap leach facility
i-80 will produce gold from the Ruby Hill open pit and residual leaching at Lone Tree
NGM will provide i-80 with interim processing capacity at its autoclave facilities until the earlier of the three-year anniversary of the asset exchange closing and such time that the Lone Tree facility is operational and also at its roaster facilities for a period of 10-years, subject in each case to extension by mutual agreement
The Company is pursuing financing arrangements that complement the Company’s strong cash position ($70.1 million as at June 30, 2021) including:
Concurrent with the closing of the asset exchange, NGM will subscribe for new i-80 treasury common shares representing up to a 9.9% interest in i-80 through a private placement for proceeds not to exceed $50 million
The Company has entered into a non-binding term sheet with Orion for up to $140 million of acquisition financing, with an additional $100 million potentially available via an accordion feature, at the election of i-80
At the closing of the asset exchange, NGM will reimburse i-80 an amount of approximately $7.3 million for certain expenditures previously advanced in relation to the South Arturo Property[2]
Equinox Gold Corp., the Company’s largest shareholder, is expected to participate in the private placement financing through the exercise of its anti-dilution rights
i-80 has entered into a definitive exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement“) to acquire the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain gold deposits from Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”), including certain processing infrastructure, via an asset exchange in consideration for: (i) the Company’s 40% ownership in the South Arturo Property; (ii) assignment of i-80’s option to acquire the adjacent Rodeo Creek exploration property; (iii) contingent consideration of up to $50 million based on production from the Lone Tree property; and (iv) arrangement of substitute bonding (and release of NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations at closing. The Company has separately entered into a definitive membership interest purchase agreement (the “Ruby Hill Agreement“) to acquire the Ruby Hill Mine, which includes multiple deposits that collectively, have the potential to represent one of Nevada’s largest gold, silver and base metal endowments, from affiliates of Waterton Global Resource Management (“Waterton”). These two transactions are designed to position i-80 Gold as a prominent, stand alone, gold producer in the state of Nevada. Closing of each of the transactions with NGM, Waterton, Orion and the private placement are subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent detailed further below, including regulatory approvals and, in the case of Orion, completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of mutually satisfactory definitive documentation.

“These transformational acquisitions result in a significant increase in the Company’s mineral resource base, and position i-80 to become one of the largest gold producers in the State of Nevada with the capacity to process refractory and oxide mineralization”, stated Ewan Downie, Chief Executive Officer of i-80 Gold. “Importantly, i-80 gains a strategic advantage becoming one of only three companies in Nevada with infrastructure to process refractory mineral resources once the Lone Tree facility has been retrofitted to suit the Company’s deposits. We believe that this will allow i-80 to overcome a crucial barrier to entry that most of our peers face. In the interim, Nevada Gold Mines has agreed to provide processing capacity for i-80 mineral resources from the McCoy Cove, Granite Creek and Ruby Hill mines at its autoclave facilities until the earlier of three years from closing of the asset exchange and the date the Lone Tree facility becomes operational and will also provide i-80 with processing capacity for ore produced from the McCoy Cove mine at its roaster facilities for 10 years, in each case, subject to extension by mutual agreement, allowing i-80 to commence development of its assets on an expedited basis”.

The Lone Tree Property is being acquired from NGM, a joint-venture between the world’s two largest gold producers, Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Corporation. Lone Tree is a strategically located facility on Interstate 80, the primary highway through northern Nevada, and proximal to the northern Nevada railway, midway between i-80’s Granite Creek and McCoy-Cove projects (See Figure 1). The transaction with NGM will provide i-80 with important processing infrastructure including an autoclave, CIL mill, and a heap leach facility complete with assay lab and gold refinery, and also includes interim processing arrangements. NGM has further agreed to acquire up to a 9.9% interest in i-80 through a private placement at the Issue Price (as defined below) for proceeds not to exceed $50 million.

The producing Ruby Hill Mine is host to multiple deposits that collectively have the potential to represent one of the largest gold and silver resource endowments in the State of Nevada. Refractory mineralization from Ruby Hill is expected to be trucked to the Lone Tree Complex for processing following its refurbishment.

“The Lone Tree and Ruby Hill acquisitions will provide i-80 with substantial gold and silver resources and an opportunity to build a mid-tier gold producing company entirely within in the State of Nevada”, stated Matthew Gili, President and Chief Operating Officer of i-80 Gold. “Ruby Hill is host to multiple gold, silver, and poly-metallic deposits that remain wide open for expansion and is expected to be a major contributor to our goal of becoming the second largest producer in Nevada”.

Lone Tree Acquisition

Lone Tree represents a strategic acquisition for i-80, providing the Company with important infrastructure that, following successful refurbishment efforts, will allow it to process refractory and oxide mineralization. Currently on care and maintenance, the property hosts existing infrastructure that includes a whole ore autoclave with capacity of 1M tonnes/year, a flotation circuit with capacity of 1.8M tonnes/year, a CIC circuit & leach pad with 6.5M tonnes of remaining capacity, a tailings dam with 1.5M tonnes of remaining constructed capacity and an additional 10M tonnes of permitted capacity, a waste dump, along with several buildings useful for the development of all i-80’s projects including a warehouse, maintenance shop, admin building, and assay lab. The property is also host to substantial gold mineral resources1 and offers excellent exploration potential. All deposits at Lone Tree (Lone Tree, Second Chanse and Lynn) remain open for expansion.

Substantial open pit gold resources contained proximal to the Lone Tree open pit1
410,000 ounces of gold indicated mineral resources within 7.2M tonnes grading 1.77 g/t Au
2,764,000 ounces of gold inferred mineral resources within 50.7M tonnes grading 1.69 g/t Au
Resource expansion potential exists down-plunge of the main Lone Tree deposit and in the unmined Sequoia zone discovery where previous drilling returned multiple wide, high-grade, intercepts (50% estimated true width) including:
9.3 g/t Au across 45.7 m, 11.7 g/t Au across 16.8 m and 9.3 g/t Au across 15.2 m
Buffalo Mountain is a near-term development opportunity, located approximately 10 km southwest of Lone Tree, that has both open pit and underground potential. Previous drilling by NGM has outlined mineralization in two zones, with highlight intercepts (60-80% estimated true width) of:
5.6 g/t Au across 15.2 m, 7.9 g/t Au across 10.7 m and 1.4 g/t Au across 35.1 m in Second Chance deposit (open pit)
10.3 g/t Au across 9.1 m and 16.8 g/t Au across 6.1 m in the nearby Lynn Zone that warrants additional drilling
The Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain Properties are being acquired by i-80’s wholly owned subsidiaries Goldcorp Dee LLC (“Goldcorp Dee”) and Au-Reka Gold LLC (“AuReka”) by way of asset exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in for (i) Goldcorp Dee’s 40% ownership in the South Arturo Property, (ii) assignment AuReka’s option to acquire the adjacent Rodeo Creek exploration property, (iii) contingent consideration of up to $50 million based on production from the Lone Tree property, and (iv) arrangement of substitute bonding (and release of NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations at closing. Conditional on closing of the asset exchange, NGM has also agreed to complete a private placement for up to a 9.9% interest in i-80 for proceeds not to exceed $50 million, described further under “Acquisition Financing” below. At the closing of the asset exchange, NGM will also reimburse i-80 approximately $7.3 million for amounts previously advanced by i-80 for the autonomous truck haulage test work completed at South Arturo and for funds advanced by i-80 that have not been used for reclamation activities.

In the event i-80 restarts the processing of ore at Lone Tree, NGM will be entitled to receive the following contingent payments of up to $50 million subject to the terms and conditions of the contingent consideration agreement:

An amount equal to $25.00 per recovered gold equivalent mineral reserve ounce identified in the feasibility study (the “Feasibility Study”) for the restart of mining at the Lone Tree mine (“Initial Contingent Consideration”), payable in two equal installments six months and 18 months following the later of commencement of commercial production at Lone Tree and the completion of the Feasibility Study; and
An amount equal to $25.00 per ounce of produced gold in excess of the number of recovered gold equivalent mineral reserve ounces (the “Continuing Contingent Consideration”), payable within five days after the end of each calendar quarter during which a payment of Continuing Contingent Consideration accrues, provided that the aggregate of the Initial Contingent Consideration and the Continuing Contingent Consideration shall not exceed $50 million.
i-80 considers the Lone Tree infrastructure to be a strategically located processing facility in Nevada, located on Interstate 80 with the Nevada Railway less than two kilometres to the north, and will be the platform from which i-80 intends to grow its business (see Figure 1 below).

Figure 1 – Aerial view of the Lone Tree Mine Site





The Lone Tree Deposit1 is host to a substantial gold resource that includes 410,000 ounces of gold (Indicated) at a grade of 1.77 g/t Au and 2,764,000 ounces (Inferred) at a grade of 1.69 g/t Au and offers substantial resource expansion potential at depth, down plunge (see Figure 2 below), and in the adjacent Sequoia zone (see Figure 3 below).

Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), arrangement of substitute sureties (and release of existing NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations, and the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), among other customary conditions to closing. The NGM equity private placement (described under “Equity Financing” below) is expected to close concurrently with, and subject to, the closing of the transactions under the Exchange Agreement. The transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement and the Ruby Hill Agreement are not inter-conditional or conditional on the completion of the Orion financing transaction. The Orion financing is conditional upon, among other things, the completion of the transactions under the Exchange Agreement and the Ruby Hill Agreement.



Ruby Hill Acquisition

Ruby Hill represents one of Nevada’s premier mining projects with existing production from the Archimedes open pit, and a large property that is host to multiple gold, gold/silver, and polymetallic gold deposits, making it one of the largest and highest-grade, permitted, gold deposits in Nevada.

Substantial open pit gold and silver resources1 within the Mineral Point Trend
Indicated Mineral Resource of 203.2 Mt with an average grade of 0.49 g/t Au and 14.9 g/t Ag containing 3.2 million ounces of gold and 97.5 million ounces of silver
Inferred Mineral Resource of 157.3 Mt with an average grade of 0.37 g/t Au and 14.3 g/t Ag containing 1.9 million ounces of gold and 72.4 million ounces of silver
High-grade underground gold mineralization at the 426 Zone
Indicated Mineral Resource of 1.2 Mt with an average grade of 5.2 g/t Au containing 0.2 million ounces of gold
High-grade underground gold mineralization at the Ruby Deeps Zone that remains open along strike to the north
Inferred Mineral Resource of 8.2 Mt with an average grade of 6.0 g/t Au containing 1.6 million ounces of gold
High-grade poly-metallic mineralization has been defined within the Blackjack
i-80 is acquiring a 100% interest in the Ruby Hill mine and property for consideration of up to $150 million, including milestone payments that are subject to an early payment option that could reduce total consideration to $130 million as follows:

$75 million cash and $8 million in shares of i-80 at closing, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of closing;
$17 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 60 days following the issuance of a press release by the Company regarding the completion of a new or updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Ruby Hill Property or 15 months after closing, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “First Milestone Payment”);
$15 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 60 days following the issuance of a press release by the Company regarding the completion of a Feasibility Study for the Ruby Hill mine or 24 months after closing, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “Second Milestone Payment”);
$15 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 30 months after closing and 90 days following the announcement by the Company of a construction decision related to a deposit on any portion of the Ruby Hill Properties that is not currently being mined, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “Third Milestone Payment”); and
$20 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 36 months after closing and 90 days following the announcement by the Company of achieving Commercial Production related to a deposit on any portion of the Properties that is not currently being mined, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “Fourth Milestone Payment”).
Up to 50% of the foregoing Milestone Payments may consist of i-80 shares, provided that the number of i-80 shares then held by Waterton after giving effect to the share issuance shall not exceed 9.99% of then issued and outstanding shares of i-80 calculated on a partially diluted basis. i-80 shall have the right to prepay the Second Milestone Payment by paying to Waterton, on or before 15 months following closing, $10 million provided that up to $7.5 million of such amount may be satisfied, at i-80’s option, in common shares of the Company, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such prepayment and i-80 shall have the right to prepay the aggregate of the Third and Fourth Milestone Payments by paying to Waterton, on or before 24 months following closing $20 million provided that up to $10 million of such amount may be satisfied, at i-80’s option, in common shares of the Company, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such prepayment, provided that the number of i-80 shares then held by Waterton after giving effect to the share issuance shall not exceed 9.99% of then issued and outstanding shares of i-80 calculated on a partially diluted basis.

Ruby Hill includes an open pit mine and related infrastructure (mill/heap leach) and is located immediately west of the town of Eureka proximal to Highway 50.

The Ruby Hill Property is host to multiple gold, silver and base metal deposits that collectively comprise one of Nevada’s largest mineral endowments that offer substantial upside. Open pit oxide and transitional resources occur in the Mineral Point, Archimedes West and Archimedes East Zones. Underground sulfide Mineral resources occur in the 426, Ruby Deeps and Blackjack Zones (Figure 5)

Figure 5 – Cross Section of the Ruby Hill Deposits





Multiple gold and polymetallic exploration targets exist on the property and i-80 will begin an aggressive exploration program immediately following closing. The Company will begin permitting for the construction of a decline to access the high-grade Ruby Deeps deposit and the Blackjack Zone with the intent of trucking refractory mineralization for processing at Lone Tree. Completion of the current mine plan at the Ruby Hill pit will continue with processing at the heap leach facility on the property. Ruby Hill also includes crushing and CIL processing infrastructure (see Figure 6)

Figure 6 – Ruby Hill Infrastructure





Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Ruby Hill Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent, including regulatory approvals, and the approval of the TSX. i-80 expects to close the Orion financing transaction concurrently with the transactions contemplated by the Ruby Hill Agreement.



Acquisition Financing

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, NGM has agreed to subscribe for new common shares from treasury at a price per share equal to C$2.62 (the “Issue Price“), (being the five day volume weighted average trading price of i-80’s common shares ending on the trading date prior to this announcement) in an amount equal to the lesser of $50 million and the amount that would result in NGM holding 9.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of i-80 on a non-diluted basis, but after giving effect to the private placement (including any participation by other subscribers, including Equinox. upon exercise of its pre-emptive rights and any shares issued to Waterton on or prior to the private placement). The private placement with NGM is part of larger non-brokered private placement offering of common shares by i-80, which includes Orion, of up to $90 million at the Issue Price, not including any shares that may be issued to Equinox upon the exercise of their anti-dilute rights.

The Company has also entered into a non-binding term sheet with Orion for a comprehensive $140 million financing package, complementing the Company’s existing strong balance sheet. The Orion financing is contemplated to include a mix of equity and convertible securities, warrants as well as secured instruments, and has a target size of $140 million and, at the election of i-80, an accordion feature of up to an additional $100 million. The equity, convertible securities and the warrants will be priced based on the Issue Price subject to TSX approval.

“The financing packages secured and being pursued with Nevada Gold Mines and Orion, combined with interim processing arrangements, are meant to provide i-80 with the ability to immediately begin development of its substantial portfolio of advanced stage deposits located in one of the world’s most favourable jurisdictions for mining”, stated Matthew Gollat, EVP Business & Corporate Development for i-80. “The financing packages were structured to limit dilution to our shareholders while providing the Company with potential capacity to aggressively grow our business.”

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the common shares described herein in the United States or in any other jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale of the common shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The common shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold in the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.

Reno, Nevada, September 7, 2021 – i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX:IAU) (OTCQX:IAUCF) (“i-80”, or the “Company”) is very pleased to announce that it has entered into definitive agreements to create a comprehensive Nevada mining complex through an asset exchange agreement to acquire certain processing infrastructure, including an autoclave, and the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain gold deposits from Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”) via an asset exchange in consideration for: (i) the Company’s 40% ownership in the South Arturo Property which will consolidate 100% ownership of South Arturo in NGM, providing NGM with flexibility to pursue potential operational synergies with NGM’s other Nevada properties; (ii) assignment of i-80’s option to acquire the adjacent Rodeo Creek exploration property; (iii) contingent consideration of up to $50 million based on production from the Lone Tree property; and (iv) arrangement of substitute bonding (and release of NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations at closing. The Company has also entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire the Ruby Hill Mine from affiliates of Waterton Global Resource Management (“Waterton”). Additionally, i-80 has entered into a private placement commitment with NGM whereby, conditional on the asset exchange transaction being completed[1], NGM will acquire from i-80 up to 9.9% interest in new i-80 treasury common shares for aggregate proceeds not to exceed $50 million, and a non-binding term sheet with Orion Mine Finance (“Orion”) for up to $240 million in acquisition and development financing. Equinox Gold Corp (“Equinox”) has also indicated that it will participate in the equity private placement through the exercise of a portion of its anti-dilute rights.

Highlights of the transactions are as follows:

i-80 increases overall Inferred gold Mineral Resource more than three and a half times and more than doubles i-80’s overall gold Measured + Indicated Mineral Resources1
Ruby Hill deposits host more than 100 million ounces of indicated silver mineral resources and more than 70 million ounces of inferred silver mineral resources1
Secures for i-80, the ability to process all types of gold bearing mineralization at the centrally located Lone Tree processing facility situated on Interstate 80 once the necessary refurbishment of the facility is completed. The Lone Tree facility includes an autoclave, carbon-in-leach (CIL) mill, Floatation Plant, and heap leach facility
i-80 will produce gold from the Ruby Hill open pit and residual leaching at Lone Tree
NGM will provide i-80 with interim processing capacity at its autoclave facilities until the earlier of the three-year anniversary of the asset exchange closing and such time that the Lone Tree facility is operational and also at its roaster facilities for a period of 10-years, subject in each case to extension by mutual agreement
The Company is pursuing financing arrangements that complement the Company’s strong cash position ($70.1 million as at June 30, 2021) including:
Concurrent with the closing of the asset exchange, NGM will subscribe for new i-80 treasury common shares representing up to a 9.9% interest in i-80 through a private placement for proceeds not to exceed $50 million
The Company has entered into a non-binding term sheet with Orion for up to $140 million of acquisition financing, with an additional $100 million potentially available via an accordion feature, at the election of i-80
At the closing of the asset exchange, NGM will reimburse i-80 an amount of approximately $7.3 million for certain expenditures previously advanced in relation to the South Arturo Property[2]
Equinox Gold Corp., the Company’s largest shareholder, is expected to participate in the private placement financing through the exercise of its anti-dilution rights
i-80 has entered into a definitive exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement“) to acquire the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain gold deposits from Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”), including certain processing infrastructure, via an asset exchange in consideration for: (i) the Company’s 40% ownership in the South Arturo Property; (ii) assignment of i-80’s option to acquire the adjacent Rodeo Creek exploration property; (iii) contingent consideration of up to $50 million based on production from the Lone Tree property; and (iv) arrangement of substitute bonding (and release of NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations at closing. The Company has separately entered into a definitive membership interest purchase agreement (the “Ruby Hill Agreement“) to acquire the Ruby Hill Mine, which includes multiple deposits that collectively, have the potential to represent one of Nevada’s largest gold, silver and base metal endowments, from affiliates of Waterton Global Resource Management (“Waterton”). These two transactions are designed to position i-80 Gold as a prominent, stand alone, gold producer in the state of Nevada. Closing of each of the transactions with NGM, Waterton, Orion and the private placement are subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent detailed further below, including regulatory approvals and, in the case of Orion, completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of mutually satisfactory definitive documentation.

“These transformational acquisitions result in a significant increase in the Company’s mineral resource base, and position i-80 to become one of the largest gold producers in the State of Nevada with the capacity to process refractory and oxide mineralization”, stated Ewan Downie, Chief Executive Officer of i-80 Gold. “Importantly, i-80 gains a strategic advantage becoming one of only three companies in Nevada with infrastructure to process refractory mineral resources once the Lone Tree facility has been retrofitted to suit the Company’s deposits. We believe that this will allow i-80 to overcome a crucial barrier to entry that most of our peers face. In the interim, Nevada Gold Mines has agreed to provide processing capacity for i-80 mineral resources from the McCoy Cove, Granite Creek and Ruby Hill mines at its autoclave facilities until the earlier of three years from closing of the asset exchange and the date the Lone Tree facility becomes operational and will also provide i-80 with processing capacity for ore produced from the McCoy Cove mine at its roaster facilities for 10 years, in each case, subject to extension by mutual agreement, allowing i-80 to commence development of its assets on an expedited basis”.

The Lone Tree Property is being acquired from NGM, a joint-venture between the world’s two largest gold producers, Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Corporation. Lone Tree is a strategically located facility on Interstate 80, the primary highway through northern Nevada, and proximal to the northern Nevada railway, midway between i-80’s Granite Creek and McCoy-Cove projects (See Figure 1). The transaction with NGM will provide i-80 with important processing infrastructure including an autoclave, CIL mill, and a heap leach facility complete with assay lab and gold refinery, and also includes interim processing arrangements. NGM has further agreed to acquire up to a 9.9% interest in i-80 through a private placement at the Issue Price (as defined below) for proceeds not to exceed $50 million.

The producing Ruby Hill Mine is host to multiple deposits that collectively have the potential to represent one of the largest gold and silver resource endowments in the State of Nevada. Refractory mineralization from Ruby Hill is expected to be trucked to the Lone Tree Complex for processing following its refurbishment.

“The Lone Tree and Ruby Hill acquisitions will provide i-80 with substantial gold and silver resources and an opportunity to build a mid-tier gold producing company entirely within in the State of Nevada”, stated Matthew Gili, President and Chief Operating Officer of i-80 Gold. “Ruby Hill is host to multiple gold, silver, and poly-metallic deposits that remain wide open for expansion and is expected to be a major contributor to our goal of becoming the second largest producer in Nevada”.

Lone Tree Acquisition

Lone Tree represents a strategic acquisition for i-80, providing the Company with important infrastructure that, following successful refurbishment efforts, will allow it to process refractory and oxide mineralization. Currently on care and maintenance, the property hosts existing infrastructure that includes a whole ore autoclave with capacity of 1M tonnes/year, a flotation circuit with capacity of 1.8M tonnes/year, a CIC circuit & leach pad with 6.5M tonnes of remaining capacity, a tailings dam with 1.5M tonnes of remaining constructed capacity and an additional 10M tonnes of permitted capacity, a waste dump, along with several buildings useful for the development of all i-80’s projects including a warehouse, maintenance shop, admin building, and assay lab. The property is also host to substantial gold mineral resources1 and offers excellent exploration potential. All deposits at Lone Tree (Lone Tree, Second Chanse and Lynn) remain open for expansion.

Substantial open pit gold resources contained proximal to the Lone Tree open pit1
410,000 ounces of gold indicated mineral resources within 7.2M tonnes grading 1.77 g/t Au
2,764,000 ounces of gold inferred mineral resources within 50.7M tonnes grading 1.69 g/t Au
Resource expansion potential exists down-plunge of the main Lone Tree deposit and in the unmined Sequoia zone discovery where previous drilling returned multiple wide, high-grade, intercepts (50% estimated true width) including:
9.3 g/t Au across 45.7 m, 11.7 g/t Au across 16.8 m and 9.3 g/t Au across 15.2 m
Buffalo Mountain is a near-term development opportunity, located approximately 10 km southwest of Lone Tree, that has both open pit and underground potential. Previous drilling by NGM has outlined mineralization in two zones, with highlight intercepts (60-80% estimated true width) of:
5.6 g/t Au across 15.2 m, 7.9 g/t Au across 10.7 m and 1.4 g/t Au across 35.1 m in Second Chance deposit (open pit)
10.3 g/t Au across 9.1 m and 16.8 g/t Au across 6.1 m in the nearby Lynn Zone that warrants additional drilling
The Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain Properties are being acquired by i-80’s wholly owned subsidiaries Goldcorp Dee LLC (“Goldcorp Dee”) and Au-Reka Gold LLC (“AuReka”) by way of asset exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in for (i) Goldcorp Dee’s 40% ownership in the South Arturo Property, (ii) assignment AuReka’s option to acquire the adjacent Rodeo Creek exploration property, (iii) contingent consideration of up to $50 million based on production from the Lone Tree property, and (iv) arrangement of substitute bonding (and release of NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations at closing. Conditional on closing of the asset exchange, NGM has also agreed to complete a private placement for up to a 9.9% interest in i-80 for proceeds not to exceed $50 million, described further under “Acquisition Financing” below. At the closing of the asset exchange, NGM will also reimburse i-80 approximately $7.3 million for amounts previously advanced by i-80 for the autonomous truck haulage test work completed at South Arturo and for funds advanced by i-80 that have not been used for reclamation activities.

In the event i-80 restarts the processing of ore at Lone Tree, NGM will be entitled to receive the following contingent payments of up to $50 million subject to the terms and conditions of the contingent consideration agreement:

An amount equal to $25.00 per recovered gold equivalent mineral reserve ounce identified in the feasibility study (the “Feasibility Study”) for the restart of mining at the Lone Tree mine (“Initial Contingent Consideration”), payable in two equal installments six months and 18 months following the later of commencement of commercial production at Lone Tree and the completion of the Feasibility Study; and
An amount equal to $25.00 per ounce of produced gold in excess of the number of recovered gold equivalent mineral reserve ounces (the “Continuing Contingent Consideration”), payable within five days after the end of each calendar quarter during which a payment of Continuing Contingent Consideration accrues, provided that the aggregate of the Initial Contingent Consideration and the Continuing Contingent Consideration shall not exceed $50 million.
i-80 considers the Lone Tree infrastructure to be a strategically located processing facility in Nevada, located on Interstate 80 with the Nevada Railway less than two kilometres to the north, and will be the platform from which i-80 intends to grow its business (see Figure 1 below).

Figure 1 – Aerial view of the Lone Tree Mine Site





The Lone Tree Deposit1 is host to a substantial gold resource that includes 410,000 ounces of gold (Indicated) at a grade of 1.77 g/t Au and 2,764,000 ounces (Inferred) at a grade of 1.69 g/t Au and offers substantial resource expansion potential at depth, down plunge (see Figure 2 below), and in the adjacent Sequoia zone (see Figure 3 below).

Figure 2 – 3D View of the Main Lone Tree Deposit including highlight intercepts



Figure 3 – 3D View displaying highlight intercepts drilled at the Sequoia Zone at Lone Tree





The Buffalo Mountain Property is located approximately 10 km to the West of Lone Tree (see Figure 4 below) and is host to multiple gold zones that have returned multiple significant intercepts including 10.3 g/t Au across 9.1 m and 16.8 g/t Au across 6.1 m at the Lynn zone and 5.6 g/t Au across 15.2 m and 7.9 g/t Au across 10.7 m in the Second Chanse zone (60-80% estimated true width). NGM has initiated the permitting of Buffalo Mountain for development and i-80 expects to continue this effort to commence mining Buffalo Mountain and processing material on the heap leach pad at Lone Tree. The Company expects to complete a mineral resource estimate for Buffalo Mountain in the future.

Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), arrangement of substitute sureties (and release of existing NGM bonds) in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations, and the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), among other customary conditions to closing. The NGM equity private placement (described under “Equity Financing” below) is expected to close concurrently with, and subject to, the closing of the transactions under the Exchange Agreement. The transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement and the Ruby Hill Agreement are not inter-conditional or conditional on the completion of the Orion financing transaction. The Orion financing is conditional upon, among other things, the completion of the transactions under the Exchange Agreement and the Ruby Hill Agreement.



Ruby Hill Acquisition

Ruby Hill represents one of Nevada’s premier mining projects with existing production from the Archimedes open pit, and a large property that is host to multiple gold, gold/silver, and polymetallic gold deposits, making it one of the largest and highest-grade, permitted, gold deposits in Nevada.

Substantial open pit gold and silver resources1 within the Mineral Point Trend
Indicated Mineral Resource of 203.2 Mt with an average grade of 0.49 g/t Au and 14.9 g/t Ag containing 3.2 million ounces of gold and 97.5 million ounces of silver
Inferred Mineral Resource of 157.3 Mt with an average grade of 0.37 g/t Au and 14.3 g/t Ag containing 1.9 million ounces of gold and 72.4 million ounces of silver
High-grade underground gold mineralization at the 426 Zone
Indicated Mineral Resource of 1.2 Mt with an average grade of 5.2 g/t Au containing 0.2 million ounces of gold
High-grade underground gold mineralization at the Ruby Deeps Zone that remains open along strike to the north
Inferred Mineral Resource of 8.2 Mt with an average grade of 6.0 g/t Au containing 1.6 million ounces of gold
High-grade poly-metallic mineralization has been defined within the Blackjack
i-80 is acquiring a 100% interest in the Ruby Hill mine and property for consideration of up to $150 million, including milestone payments that are subject to an early payment option that could reduce total consideration to $130 million as follows:

$75 million cash and $8 million in shares of i-80 at closing, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of closing;
$17 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 60 days following the issuance of a press release by the Company regarding the completion of a new or updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Ruby Hill Property or 15 months after closing, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “First Milestone Payment”);
$15 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 60 days following the issuance of a press release by the Company regarding the completion of a Feasibility Study for the Ruby Hill mine or 24 months after closing, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “Second Milestone Payment”);
$15 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 30 months after closing and 90 days following the announcement by the Company of a construction decision related to a deposit on any portion of the Ruby Hill Properties that is not currently being mined, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “Third Milestone Payment”); and
$20 million in cash and/or shares of i-80 payable on the earlier of 36 months after closing and 90 days following the announcement by the Company of achieving Commercial Production related to a deposit on any portion of the Properties that is not currently being mined, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such payment (the “Fourth Milestone Payment”).
Up to 50% of the foregoing Milestone Payments may consist of i-80 shares, provided that the number of i-80 shares then held by Waterton after giving effect to the share issuance shall not exceed 9.99% of then issued and outstanding shares of i-80 calculated on a partially diluted basis. i-80 shall have the right to prepay the Second Milestone Payment by paying to Waterton, on or before 15 months following closing, $10 million provided that up to $7.5 million of such amount may be satisfied, at i-80’s option, in common shares of the Company, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such prepayment and i-80 shall have the right to prepay the aggregate of the Third and Fourth Milestone Payments by paying to Waterton, on or before 24 months following closing $20 million provided that up to $10 million of such amount may be satisfied, at i-80’s option, in common shares of the Company, priced based on the market price of i-80’s shares at the time of such prepayment, provided that the number of i-80 shares then held by Waterton after giving effect to the share issuance shall not exceed 9.99% of then issued and outstanding shares of i-80 calculated on a partially diluted basis.

Ruby Hill includes an open pit mine and related infrastructure (mill/heap leach) and is located immediately west of the town of Eureka proximal to Highway 50.

The Ruby Hill Property is host to multiple gold, silver and base metal deposits that collectively comprise one of Nevada’s largest mineral endowments that offer substantial upside. Open pit oxide and transitional resources occur in the Mineral Point, Archimedes West and Archimedes East Zones. Underground sulfide Mineral resources occur in the 426, Ruby Deeps and Blackjack Zones (Figure 5)

Figure 5 – Cross Section of the Ruby Hill Deposits





Multiple gold and polymetallic exploration targets exist on the property and i-80 will begin an aggressive exploration program immediately following closing. The Company will begin permitting for the construction of a decline to access the high-grade Ruby Deeps deposit and the Blackjack Zone with the intent of trucking refractory mineralization for processing at Lone Tree. Completion of the current mine plan at the Ruby Hill pit will continue with processing at the heap leach facility on the property. Ruby Hill also includes crushing and CIL processing infrastructure (see Figure 6)

Figure 6 – Ruby Hill Infrastructure





Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Ruby Hill Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent, including regulatory approvals, and the approval of the TSX. i-80 expects to close the Orion financing transaction concurrently with the transactions contemplated by the Ruby Hill Agreement.



Acquisition Financing

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, NGM has agreed to subscribe for new common shares from treasury at a price per share equal to C$2.62 (the “Issue Price“), (being the five day volume weighted average trading price of i-80’s common shares ending on the trading date prior to this announcement) in an amount equal to the lesser of $50 million and the amount that would result in NGM holding 9.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of i-80 on a non-diluted basis, but after giving effect to the private placement (including any participation by other subscribers, including Equinox. upon exercise of its pre-emptive rights and any shares issued to Waterton on or prior to the private placement). The private placement with NGM is part of larger non-brokered private placement offering of common shares by i-80, which includes Orion, of up to $90 million at the Issue Price, not including any shares that may be issued to Equinox upon the exercise of their anti-dilute rights.

The Company has also entered into a non-binding term sheet with Orion for a comprehensive $140 million financing package, complementing the Company’s existing strong balance sheet. The Orion financing is contemplated to include a mix of equity and convertible securities, warrants as well as secured instruments, and has a target size of $140 million and, at the election of i-80, an accordion feature of up to an additional $100 million. The equity, convertible securities and the warrants will be priced based on the Issue Price subject to TSX approval.

“The financing packages secured and being pursued with Nevada Gold Mines and Orion, combined with interim processing arrangements, are meant to provide i-80 with the ability to immediately begin development of its substantial portfolio of advanced stage deposits located in one of the world’s most favourable jurisdictions for mining”, stated Matthew Gollat, EVP Business & Corporate Development for i-80. “The financing packages were structured to limit dilution to our shareholders while providing the Company with potential capacity to aggressively grow our business.”

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the common shares described herein in the United States or in any other jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale of the common shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The common shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold in the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.

Under Regulation S-K 1300, reserve and resource definitions are substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards; however, there are differences between NI 43-101 and Regulation S-K 1300 and therefore information contained in the press release may not be comparable to similar information made public by public U.S. companies pursuant to the Regulation S-K 1300 or SEC Industry Guide 7.

$I-80 GOLD INTERSECTS HIGH-GRADE GOLD IN OPEN PIT DRILLING AT GRANITE CREEK

6.80 g/t Au over 51.1 Metres – Oxide Mineralization below CX-Pit

Reno, Nevada, August 30, 2021 – i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX:IAU) (OTCQX:IAUCF)
(“i-80”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that assay results
for the first hole drilled at the Company’s Granite Creek Property
(“Granite Creek” or “the Property”) located in Humboldt County, Nevada
has returned high-grade results that confirm the high-grade open pit
opportunity.

Hole iGM21-01, drilled from the bottom of the historic CX-Pit
intersected two zones of mineralization grading
3.17 g/t Au over 7.5 m and
6.80 g/t Au over 51.1 m (see Table 1).

The hole was drilled for metallurgical purposes into the main structure
below the pit (true widths unknown) and returned exceptional grades
that appear to be oxide mineralization based on an average cyanide
soluble to fire assay ratio of 0.94 over both intervals.

The surface drill program targeting open pit mineralization at Granite
Creek is complete (see Figure 2 below) and multiple assays remain
pending.
The drill program was focused on intersecting material to be used for
metallurgical and geotechnical purposes in advance of initiating
permitting for an open pit mine and on-site processing.

As a consequence of its level of ownership of the Company's shares, Equinox is considered a "related party" of i-80 pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, including Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the Canadian Securities Regulators ("MI 61-101"), as well as an 'insider' of i-80 for the purposes of the rules and regulations of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The exercise by Equinox of its top-up right and Subscription for additional shares of i-80 is considered a "related-party transaction" for the purposes of MI 61-101. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority securityholder approval requirements otherwise necessary for "related party transactions" that are available under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the subject matter of the transaction, insofar as it concerns "related parties", did not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of i-80 at the time the transaction was agreed to.

After giving effect to the acquisition of Osgood Mining by the Company, but immediately before the closing of the Subscription, Equinox held, directly or indirectly, 50,561,747 common shares of the Company representing approximately 27.3% of the basic issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, and warrants entitling Equinox to purchase 2,318,596 additional common shares. Assuming the exercise of such warrants on a partially diluted basis, Equinox would have owned 52,880,343 common shares, representing approximately 28.2% of the common shares that would be issued and outstanding. As a result of the Subscription, Equinox now holds directly or indirectly, 56,041,282 common shares representing approximately 29.4% of the basic issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer on a non-diluted basis and the same warrants entitling Equinox to purchase 2,318,596 additional common shares. Assuming the exercise of such warrants on a partially diluted basis, Equinox would own 58,359,879 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 30.3% of the common shares that would be issued and outstanding on a partially-diluted basis.

Equinox has advised the Company that it is completing the Subscription for investment purposes and may or may not purchase or sell securities of the Company in the future on the open market or in private transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. Equinox advises that it currently has no other plans or intentions that relate to its investment in the Company. Depending on market conditions, general economic and industry conditions, the Company's business and financial condition and/or other relevant factors, Equinox may develop other plans or intentions in the future relating to one or more of the above items.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act any application state securities laws.

the Carlin Trend of Nevada.
Reno, Nevada, April 21, 2021 –

https://i80gold.com/i-80-gold-provides-south-arturo-update-in-nevada/


$South Arturo is a joint venture with Nevada Gold Mines (“NGM”) and
includes the high-grade El Nino underground mine, which is in
production.



Work completed in 2020 included a successful expansion drill program at
El Nino as well as work targeting the advancement of two additional
development opportunities on the property; the Phase 1 open pit and the
Phase 3 project.

El Nino

The 3,800 metre drill campaign completed in 2020 from underground drilling stations demonstrated the ability to extend mine life at depth with numerous high grade intercepts (previously released) including 26.76 g/t Au across 18.3 m, 17.11 g/t Au across 39.6 m and 5.73 g/t Au across 100.6 m.

Additional highlight results from new results received from the 2020 program are provided below. Following up on the success of this drill program, more than 8,000 meters of exploration drilling are planned in 2021 focused on extending mineralization further down dip at the Lower El Nino and Cloud Nine targets.

Highlight assay results for previously unreleased intercepts from the 2020 drill program include:

19.8 m of 12.20 g/t Au (SEC20012)
29.0 m of 6.20 g/t Au (SEC20014)
25.9 m of 14.05 g/t Au (SEC20015)
Development of a ramp to access the deeper mineralization is under way and is expected to be completed in Q1 2023. Production of orebodies accessed from the ramp is expected to begin in Q2 2022.

Phase 1

More than 3,500 metres of drilling was completed on the near surface portion of the planned Phase 1 open pit to increase confidence in the ore reserves and upgrade mineral resources. This drilling returned higher than expected grade-thicknesses and Barrick has moved heap leach material from Phase 1 into their year-end 2020 mineral reserves. In 2021, the joint venture plans to complete further metallurgical work in advance of mine construction.

Phase 3

2020 drilling completed in the Phase 3 project area also returned favorable results and the joint venture partners have commenced trade-off studies to optimize the economics of the project as an underground versus open pit project, or a combination scenario. Initial work on the underground option has been encouraging and 3,500 metres of exploration drilling is planned to test the Hendrix target located between the El Nino and Phase 3 deposits.

“El Nino continues to deliver excellent results as demonstrated by the latest intercepts of our 2020 drill campaign.
Multiple holes intersected zones of impressive grade over a mineable width”, stated Matt Gili, President and COO of i-80 Gold.
“We expect to see these results incorporated into an updated mineral resource model expected later in 2021. The deposit remains open at depth and along strike”.

$i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX:IAU) (“i-80”, or the “Company”) is pleased to
provide an update for its 40%-owned South Arturo Property located in
the Carlin Trend of Nevada.
Reno, Nevada, April 21, 2021 –

https://i80gold.com/i-80-gold-provides-south-arturo-update-in-nevada/


$South Arturo is a joint venture with Nevada Gold Mines (“NGM”) and
includes the high-grade El Nino underground mine, which is in
production.



Work completed in 2020 included a successful expansion drill program at
El Nino as well as work targeting the advancement of two additional
development opportunities on the property; the Phase 1 open pit and the
Phase 3 project.

El Nino

The 3,800 metre drill campaign completed in 2020 from underground drilling stations demonstrated the ability to extend mine life at depth with numerous high grade intercepts (previously released) including 26.76 g/t Au across 18.3 m, 17.11 g/t Au across 39.6 m and 5.73 g/t Au across 100.6 m. Additional highlight results from new results received from the 2020 program are provided below. Following up on the success of this drill program, more than 8,000 meters of exploration drilling are planned in 2021 focused on extending mineralization further down dip at the Lower El Nino and Cloud Nine targets.

Highlight assay results for previously unreleased intercepts from the 2020 drill program include:

19.8 m of 12.20 g/t Au (SEC20012)
29.0 m of 6.20 g/t Au (SEC20014)
25.9 m of 14.05 g/t Au (SEC20015)
Development of a ramp to access the deeper mineralization is under way and is expected to be completed in Q1 2023. Production of orebodies accessed from the ramp is expected to begin in Q2 2022.

Phase 1

More than 3,500 metres of drilling was completed on the near surface portion of the planned Phase 1 open pit to increase confidence in the ore reserves and upgrade mineral resources. This drilling returned higher than expected grade-thicknesses and Barrick has moved heap leach material from Phase 1 into their year-end 2020 mineral reserves. In 2021, the joint venture plans to complete further metallurgical work in advance of mine construction.

Phase 3

2020 drilling completed in the Phase 3 project area also returned favorable results and the joint venture partners have commenced trade-off studies to optimize the economics of the project as an underground versus open pit project, or a combination scenario. Initial work on the underground option has been encouraging and 3,500 metres of exploration drilling is planned to test the Hendrix target located between the El Nino and Phase 3 deposits.

“El Nino continues to deliver excellent results as demonstrated by the latest intercepts of our 2020 drill campaign. Multiple holes intersected zones of impressive grade over a mineable width”, stated Matt Gili, President and COO of i-80 Gold. “We expect to see these results incorporated into an updated mineral resource model expected later in 2021. The deposit remains open at depth and along strike”.

PR Newswire (Canada)
VANCOUVER, BC, April 7, 2021 /CNW/ -

Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") has completed its acquisition of Premier Gold Mines Limited (TSX: PG) (OTCPK: PIRGF) ("Premier"), adding Premier's interest in the construction-ready Hardrock Project in Ontario, Canada, the producing Mercedes Mine in Mexico, and the Hasaga and Rahill-Bonanza exploration properties in Ontario to the Company's existing portfolio of gold assets. Going forward, Hardrock will be called the Greenstone Project, a name that is well recognized in the region and supported locally. In connection with the acquisition, the spin-out of i-80 Gold Corp. ("i-80 Gold"), a newly created company holding Premier's gold projects in Nevada, USA, was also completed. Equinox Gold is a 30% shareholder of i-80 Gold.

Christian Milau, CEO of Equinox Gold, stated: "With Mercedes and Greenstone in our portfolio, Equinox Gold now has eight operating mines and one of the largest gold reserves in our peer group, all in the mining-friendly jurisdictions of Ontario, California, Mexico and Brazil. We also have a strong, near-term growth profile with construction of our Santa Luz mine underway, Greenstone construction targeted to start in 2021, and significant expansion projects at Los Filos and Castle Mountain. We look forward to developing Greenstone with Orion as our partner, integrating Mercedes into our portfolio of producing mines and being a substantial and supportive shareholder of i-80 Gold."

Ewan Downie, CEO of i-80 Gold and former CEO of Premier Gold, stated: "Premier shareholders will benefit from the combination with Equinox Gold and its financial capacity to advance development of our flagship Greenstone Project. It was a tremendous honour working with the Premier team for nearly 15 years, participating in numerous exploration and development successes, and I am thankful for the support of this group and our shareholders. We now look to the future and the public launch of i-80 Gold next week, with the objective of creating a go-to, Nevada-focused mining and development company."

Premier's common shares are expected to be de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") within two to three business days. Premier shareholders will receive 0.1967 of an Equinox Gold common share for each Premier share held.

The common shares of i-80 Gold are expected to be listed for trading on the TSX within three to four business days with the ticker symbol "IAU".

Equinox Gold has also completed the associated non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts at a price of C$10.00 per subscription receipt for gross proceeds of C$75 million.

On closing of the Transaction, Premier shareholders will receive 0.1967 of an Equinox Gold share for each Premier share held, such that existing Equinox Gold and Premier shareholders will own approximately 84% and 16% of Equinox Gold, respectively, on an issued share basis.
The Transaction is expected to close in March subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

By approving the Transaction, Premier securityholders also approved the spin-out to Equinox Gold and Premier shareholders shares of a newly created US-focused gold production and
development company to be called i-80 Gold Corp. ("i-80 Gold") that will own Premier's existing Nevada assets.
Upon completion of the Transaction and prior to giving effect to the issuance of any i-80 Gold shares in connection with any equity financing or acquisition to be completed by i-80 Gold, Equinox Gold and existing shareholders of Premier will own 30% and 70% of i-80 Gold, respectively.

Equinox Gold will retain Premier's interest in the world-class Hardrock Project in Ontario, the Mercedes Mine in Mexico, and the Hasaga and Rahill-Bonanza properties in Red Lake, Ontario.
