i-80 Gold Corp. 8K

i-80 Gold Corp. provided a progress update that its Lone Tree plant refurbishment in Nevada remains on schedule and on budget, with major construction targeted for Q4 2026 and first gold pour anticipated by year-end 2027, supporting a planned shift to a lower-cost owner-operator processing model.

On July 28, 2026, i-80 Gold Corp. announced an operational update on the refurbishment of its Lone Tree autoclave and carbon-in-leach processing plant in Nevada, reporting that early works, demolition, engineering, and procurement activities are progressing on schedule and within budget, with approximately 40% of capital and 50% of procurement packages committed as of mid-July. The company reiterated a total capital cost estimate of approximately $430 million (including contingency and owner’s costs), confirmed that major construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026 following permitting, and stated that the plant remains on track for commissioning and first gold pour by late 2027. Management emphasized that transitioning Lone Tree into a central processing hub for its underground mines is a key step in moving from toll milling to an owner-operator model that, according to a December 2025 engineering study, is anticipated to reduce processing costs and increase cash margins by an estimated $1,000 to $1,500 per ounce of gold, depending on grade and gold price.
