News about i-80 Gold

i-80 Gold (TSX:IAU) has outlined an updated Nevada development plan that puts the Mineral Point open pit next in line after the underground hub, alongside progress on refurbishing assets such as the Lone Tree processing plant. The company is also advancing permits across its Nevada portfolio to build out several deposits in a coordinated way. The article says this could move i-80 Gold toward a blended operation combining high-grade underground feed with large-scale heap leach oxide output, spreading fixed costs, though execution and cost control remain central risks. Key checkpoints include first ore from Archimedes underground in Q4 2026, completion of Lone Tree feasibility and pre-commissioning steps toward a late 2027 plant start-up, and Mineral Point and Archimedes studies targeted around mid-2027.
