i-80 Gold Corp. reports developments tied to its Nevada-focused gold mining portfolio, including exploration, development and production activity across high-grade projects and processing assets. The company’s updates commonly address its development plan, drilling and technical work, permitting activity, operating and financial results, and the Lone Tree processing strategy that supports a regional hub-and-spoke model.
Recurring corporate news also covers capital-structure actions and material financing agreements, including gold prepayment arrangements, convertible senior notes, royalty financing and debt retirement. The company’s public updates link those financing activities to advancement of its gold projects, refurbishment of processing infrastructure and working-capital needs.
i-80 Gold (IAUX) reported third-quarter results and kept Archimedes underground on schedule to begin production mining by year-end 2026. Revenue rose to $32.728 million from $32.019 million a year earlier, while net loss widened to $48.350 million from $41.867 million. Gold production fell to 11,685 ounces from 12,428 ounces. Cash totaled $411.355 million at September 30.
Granite Creek declared initial reserves containing 556,500 ounces of gold. Lone Tree refurbishment remained on schedule and largely on budget, with commissioning expected in the fourth quarter of 2027. The company prioritized Mineral Point as its next development project and retained its target of 150,000–200,000 ounces of annual gold production beginning in 2028. It expects 2026 production in the lower half of guidance, partly because leaching Archimedes oxide material is expected to shift recorded production into the first quarter of 2027.
i-80 Gold (IAUX) is scheduled to release its third-quarter 2026 results after market close on November 2, 2026. The results will cover the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and include development project updates. Management will host a conference call and webcast on November 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET, followed by a question-and-answer session.
i-80 Gold (IAUX) prioritized Mineral Point open pit in its updated development plan while keeping near-term Nevada projects on schedule. Archimedes underground remains on track for first gold mined in Q4 2026. Lone Tree construction is planned for Q4 2026, with first gold pour targeted for Q4 2027. Its refurbishment estimate remains $430 million; labor costs are 5%–10% above initial estimates, within contingency.
The company targets annual gold production of 150,000–200,000 ounces beginning in 2028, 400,000–500,000 beginning in 2031 with Mineral Point, and 500,000–600,000 in the early 2030s with Granite Creek open pit. These preliminary goals depend on successful development and Lone Tree commissioning and are not output guidance. Cove underground is sequenced later as future processing feed. Granite Creek's measured and indicated underground resources increased approximately 230% in the September 2026 feasibility study versus the March 2025 PEA.
i-80 Gold (IAUX) released its 2025 Sustainability Report and Databook on September 25, 2026, covering environmental and community measures.
The company recorded zero reportable water-related incidents in 2025, and Nevada-based suppliers received 64% of local procurement spending. Women held one-third of management positions. The company also invested approximately $140,000 in Northern Nevada communities through its Grants for Good program and recorded 2,852 employee volunteer hours.
i-80 Gold (IAUX) reported initial 2026 infill and step-out drill results from the Mineral Point open pit heap leach project in Nevada.
Highlight intercepts include 1.33 g/t Au and 39.2 g/t Ag over 225.6 m (hole iMP26-07), 1.70 g/t Au and 61.5 g/t Ag over 170.7 m (iMP26-23), and 0.82 g/t Au and 40.1 g/t Ag over 202.7 m (iMP26-09). Of 35 holes reported, 19 were step-outs outside the existing mineral resource and all 19 encountered mineralization, with over half returning more than 100 m of gold-silver intercepts.
The current Mineral Point open pit resource totals 216.98 Mt of indicated (3.38 Moz Au, 104.33 Moz Ag) and 194.44 Mt of inferred (2.12 Moz Au, 91.47 Moz Ag). A 2025 PEA outlined a 17‑year mine life and ~280,000 oz/year gold equivalent production after ramp-up, with an after-tax NPV(5%) of $614 million and 12% IRR at $2,175/oz Au and $26/oz Ag.
The 2026/2027 drill program targets ~130,000 m across 300 holes, with ~30,000 m completed by end of August. Planned spending is $40–45 million on exploration plus ~$5 million on technical and early pre-permitting, to be funded from a $50 million Franco-Nevada royalty financing. Drilling is expected to finish around Q1 2027, supporting a pre-feasibility study targeted for mid‑2027.
i-80 Gold (IAUX) released a positive feasibility study and initial mineral reserve estimate for the Granite Creek underground gold project in Nevada, defining after-tax NPV(5%) of $118 million at a base gold price of $2,750/oz.
The study outlines proven and probable mineral reserves of 2.20 Mt grading 7.87 g/t Au, containing 556,500 oz of gold, and an 8.5-year mine life. Measured and indicated underground mineral resources increased 229% versus the March 2025 PEA to 3.73 Mt at 7.17 g/t Au for 859,500 oz, while inferred resources decreased 38% to 0.89 Mt at 7.06 g/t Au for 202,800 oz as material converted to higher confidence categories.
At $4,500/oz gold, after-tax NPV(5%) rises to $598 million, and at $6,000/oz to $985 million. Average annual production is projected at about 75,000 oz from 2028–2032, with estimated cash costs of $1,827/oz and AISC of $1,915/oz in that period, excluding Lone Tree Plant refurbishment capital. Total capital and closure costs are estimated at $144.9 million.
i-80 Gold (NYSE:IAUX) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $24.3 million from 5,335 gold ounces sold at an average realized price of $4,522/oz, versus $27.8 million and 8,400 ounces at $3,301/oz a year earlier. Gold production rose to 11,098 ounces from 4,178 ounces and gross profit increased to $8.6 million from $0.8 million, but net loss widened to $52.5 million (loss of $0.06 per share) from $30.2 million (loss of $0.05 per share), driven mainly by higher pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenses.
Cash used in operating activities was $49.6 million, with cash and cash equivalents at $464.6 million on June 30, 2026. Granite Creek underground ramp-up continued ahead of plan, Archimedes underground advanced on schedule toward first gold in Q4 2026, and Lone Tree plant refurbishment and demolition progressed on budget, supporting the company’s outlook that it remains on track to meet full-year 2026 guidance and key project milestones.
i-80 Gold (NYSE: IAUX) reported that refurbishment of its Lone Tree autoclave and carbon-in-leach plant in Nevada remains on schedule and on budget. Early works, health and safety preparations, contractor mobilization and major demolition, which began in mid-June 2026, are advancing as planned ahead of major construction in Q4 2026.
According to the company, approximately 50% of procurement packages by value and about 40% of project capital are committed as of mid-July 2026, with minimal contingency used. Total capital is estimated at $430 million, within 2026 expenditure guidance of $140–160 million. Detailed engineering is roughly 30% complete, and permitting is progressing with several approvals received and others pending. First gold pour from Lone Tree is anticipated by year-end 2027, with the refurbished plant expected to operate as a central hub processing about 2,250 tonnes per day (around 825,000 tonnes annually) and to support a shift from toll milling to an owner-operator model.
