i-80 Gold Unveils High-Grade Ruby Hill Drill Results and Exits Gold Offtake Agreement i-80 Gold reported high-grade assay results from its 2025–2026 infill drill campaign at the Archimedes Underground project on the Ruby Hill property in Nevada, including an intercept of 16.2 g/t gold over 56.4 meters, and confirmed plans to start mining in the upper 426 zone and target first gold production in Q4 2026.
The company is progressing development at both Archimedes and Granite Creek, refurbishing the Lone Tree processing plant to start handling material by late 2027, and has pushed feasibility-level studies for Granite Creek and Cove from Q2 to Q3 2026, which refines the development timetable for its Nevada asset base.
i-80 Gold also agreed with Vox Royalty to terminate a gold offtake agreement, settling via common shares, while the stock trades around CA$2.03, with a year-to-date return of about 1.5%.
Together, the drill results, clearer timelines and offtake exit provide more visibility on project sequencing and funding flexibility, but they also highlight execution risk around development schedules and future capital needs. Announcement • Jun 24
