• 3,760 toes of horizontal and vertical development on the Granite Creek mine.
• Commenced underground delineation drilling of the CSD Hole and Helen zones on the McCoy-Cove mission (14,382 toes).

Exploration, analysis, and pre-development prices have been $5.1 million for the quarter and $7.8 million YTD. This expenditure principally displays the exploration and pre-development paintings at McCoy-Cove, Granite Creek and Ruby Hill.

Granite Creek

Highlights for the 3 and 6 months ended June 30, 2024, come with:

• 33,469 rainy lots of mineralized subject material have been mined and added to the stockpile as of Q2 2024.
• Sale of overall mineralized subject material of 9,361 lots for proceeds of $5.9 million for the 3 months ended June 30, 2024.

• 3,760 toes of mixed horizontal and vertical development in Q2 2024.

“Granite Creek achieved a milestone in the second quarter of accessing the first mineralized material out of the South Pacific Zone”, said Matt Gili, President and Leading Running Officer of i-80. “Subsequent to the end of the period, initial test mining of the first level of the South Pacific Zone was completed in the uppermost part of the deposit.  The grade reconciliation was consistent with the Company model with more tons of mineralized material mined than modelled, leading to a positive reconciliation on gold production from the first level.”

The wave precedence at Granite Creek throughout the primary part of the presen was once to realize get entry to to the South Pacific Zone this is anticipated to be the principle zone for mining going forward. Set up of infrastructure required to serve for the execution of a long-term mine plan continues. As mine workings proceed to move deeper, the control of aqua inflows into the underground workings is a supremacy precedence for starting up business manufacturing. Aqua is controlled via a mix of de-watering wells and underground sumps and the Corporate is bettering its de-watering features via including wells (finished set up of “Well 6”) and is starting up the deepening of present de-watering wells to extend current and lengthen their helpful pace.

The Corporate continues to come across increased oxide mineralized subject material with roughly 83% of mined mineralization being oxide throughout the quarter. The oxide mineralized subject material is bought below an ore acquire promise, due to this fact incorrect gold oz. are reported as manufacturing. As of June 30, 2024, the Corporate had delivered 34,695 of the 40,000 lots of subject material that have been bought in December 2023, the Corporate has met the supply necessities for the pay as you go bank, due to this fact spare cures from the 40,000 lots will lead to spare income for the Corporate.
