Sep 21, 2026 22:48 (34d ago)

i-80 Gold reported a Granite Creek feasibility study and initial Mineral Point drilling results in Nevada.
Granite Creek contains 556,500 ounces of proven and probable reserves, while Mineral Point hole iMP26-07 returned 225.6 meters grading 1.33 g/t gold and 39.2 g/t silver.
Granite Creek is projected to produce about 75,000 ounces annually from 2028 through 2032; all 19 reported Mineral Point step-out holes encountered mineralization.

i-80 Gold reported two developments involving separate Nevada projects: a feasibility study for the Granite Creek Underground project and initial results from its 2026 Mineral Point open-pit heap-leach drilling campaign. Granite Creek has 556,500 ounces of proven and probable reserves, while Mineral Point drilling encountered mineralization in all 19 initial step-out holes outside the existing resource, including a 225.6-meter intercept grading 1.33 grams per tonne of gold and 39.2 grams per tonne of silver. Granite Creek is expected to produce about 75,000 ounces annually from 2028 through 2032, and Mineral Point drilling is expected to support a pre-feasibility study targeted for approximately mid-2027, subject to program and assay timing.
