i-80 Gold reports 225.6-meter Mineral Point step-out intercept grading 1.33 g/t gold, 39.2 g/t silver

i-80 Gold released initial drill assays from its 2026 infill campaign at the Mineral Point oxide open-pit heap-leach project in Nevada.

Key intercepts included 1.33 g/t gold and 39.2 g/t silver over 226 meters, with another hole at 1.70 g/t gold over 171 meters.

Step-out drilling east of the existing resource hit mineralization in all 19 holes, supporting potential expansion of roughly 1,000 meters along strike.

Mineral Point resources as of Dec. 31, 2025: indicated 3.38 million ounces gold, inferred 2.12 million ounces gold.

The program targets about 130,000 meters across 300 holes, with completion expected in Q1 2027; a pre-feasibility study is targeted for mid-2027.
