i-80 Gold (NYSE:IAUX) (NYSE: IAUX) is a Canada-based mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing a portfolio of gold and silver assets in the western United States. The company pursues a district-scale consolidation strategy, targeting underexplored precious metals properties and leveraging modern exploration techniques to expand resource bases. i-80 Gold’s business model encompasses all stages of the mining lifecycle, from grassroots exploration and resource definition to project development, permitting and eventual production.
Since its inception in 2013, i-80 Gold has assembled a suite of flagship assets, including the Lone Tree complex in Nevada, which comprises a fully permitted processing mill with heap-leach and milling circuits. The McCoy‐Cove project, also in Nevada, delivers significant oxide and sulfide gold potential along a 50-kilometer trend. In Idaho, the company controls the DeLamar project, a well-mined past-producing district with open-pit and underground targets as well as an existing processing facility. Additional exploration holdings include the Ruby Hill area in Eureka County and the Getchell project, broadening the company’s strategic footprint across two prolific gold jurisdictions.
Operational activities at i-80 Gold emphasize the integration of historical data with cutting-edge geophysical and geochemical surveying, aimed at upgrading near-surface oxide material while advancing deeper sulfide targets. Continued drilling campaigns are designed to convert inferred resources into higher confidence categories and to identify new mineralized zones. Concurrently, the company pursues environmental and community engagement initiatives to support permitting processes and to foster local workforce development in the regions where it operates.
Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and with a regional office in Reno, Nevada, i-80 Gold is led by an executive team with decades of collective experience in North American mine development, exploration and operations. The board and management group bring expertise in geology, engineering and project financing, guiding the company’s long-term growth strategy. As it moves projects toward production, i-80 Gold continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities to expand its portfolio of precious metal assets in stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions.
