i-80 Gold Announces New High-Grade Results From Underground Drilling at Cove

07.09.2023 | 12:00 Uhr | CNW

Results Include 10.6 g/t Au 38.8 m, 11.1 g/t Au over 20.6 m, 27.0 g/t Au over 8.0 m, and 37.1 g/t Au over 3.6 m

RENO, Sept. 7, 2023 - i-80 Gold Corp. (TSX: IAU) (NYSE: IAUX) ("i-80", or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive results from ongoing underground drilling at the Company's 100%-owned McCoy-Cove Property ("Cove" or "the Property") located in Lander County, Nevada. The new results continue to confirm continuity of high-grade mineralization in the CSD/Gap Zone.

This release provides the results from five new drill holes including some of the widest and highest-grade results received so far in the underground program. Hole iRH23-14 intersected four zones of gold mineralization including the widest zone of high-grade mineralization intersected so far in the 2023 program assaying 10.6 g/t Au over 38.3 metres. Several of the new holes returned intercepts in excess of 20 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) including associated silver.

Highlight new results from 2023 drilling program at Cove include:

  • iCHU23-12A:
    • 27.0 g/t Au & 9.2 g/t Ag over 8.0 m
  • iCHU23-13 :
    • 49.3 g/t Au & 21.0 g/t Ag over 2.2 m
    • 37.1 g/t Au & 19.1 g/t Ag over 3.6 m
  • iCHU23-14:
    • 13.3 g/t Au & 29.2 g/t Ag over 4.0 m
    • 10.6 g/t Au & 5.2 g/t Ag over 38.8 m
    • 12.8 g/t Au & 7.2 g/t Ag over 2.6 m
    • 11.1 g/t Au & 3.4 g/t Ag over 20.6 m
  • iCHU23-15:
    • 8.3 g/t Au & 100.2 g/t Ag over 2.6 m
    • 25.4 g/t Au & 7.1 g/t Ag over 3.0 m
  • iCHU23-16:
    • 6.9 g/t Au & 3.9 g/t Ag over 8.8 m
    • 11.1 g/t Au & 3.4 g/t Ag over 3.3 m
    • 12.5 g/t Au & 6.5 g/t Ag over 11.5 m
  • iCHU23-18:
    • 8.5 g/t Au & 5.7 g/t Ag over 3.6 m
    • 14.0 g/t Au & 6.5 g/t Ag over 2.7 m

The Phase 1 development program, consisting of the decline and exploration platform (Figures 1 & 2), is now complete. A large-scale drill program, expected to comprise a total of more than 40,000 metres, is being completed on 30 metre spacing in advance of an updated resource estimate and economic study related to the construction of mining operation at McCoy-Cove. This program is focused on the CSD Gap and Helen Zone portions (Figure 3) of the deposit while mineralization below the pit in the Cove South Deep and 2201 deposits is not being drilled as part of this program (Figure 3).

"The drilling program in the CSD/Gap continues to confirm that Cove is one of North America's highest-grade gold deposits with grades and widths that are consistently exceeding expectations, frequently above the current resource grade.", stated Ewan Downie, CEO of i-80 Gold. "With true widths often in excess of 20 metres, Cove is expected to be a core asset in our longer-term development plans that will include three underground mines feeding our central Lone Tree processing facility."

Cove is one of three projects currently being advanced to realize the Company's goal of becoming the second largest gold producer in Nevada. In addition to the underground drill program, the Company is also advancing development plans and the approvals required for a mining operation at Cove. Drilling for the purpose of installing piezometer wells has also been completed and preparations for the 40-day pump test are underway for the completion of a final hydrological model for the Property.

To-date, 22 holes have been completed in the northwestern portion of the CSD Gap. Drilling is now underway at the Helen Zone where 7 holes have been completed with assays pending. The Helen Zone comprises the northwestern portion of the Cove deposit (see Figure 2). This drill program is expected to continue through 2023 and into 2024. New results are provided in Table 1.

The ongoing infill and step-out drill program will aid in the advancement of the Company's plan to develop an underground mine at Cove utilizing the current decline with material anticipated to be trucked to the Company's Lone Tree facility, once operational, for processing in addition to Nevada Gold Mines pursuant to the processing agreement between the two companies. Following the underground drill program, i-80 plans to complete an updated mineral resource estimate and a Feasibility Study.

Cove is one of the Company's primary assets and is host to a resource of:
