(TSX:IAU) (NYSE American:IAUX) ("i-80 Gold", or the "Company") announces that Eva Bellissimo has notified the Company of her intention to step down from its Board of Directors (the "Board") effective October 31, 2025, to focus on her expanded professional responsibilities following her appointment as National Practice Group Leader of the Business Law Group at McCarthy Tétrault LLP last year, where she also co-leads their Global Metals & Mining Group.

Ms. Bellissimo has served as a Director of i-80 Gold since its inception in 2021, and most recently served as Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Ms. Bellissimo was previously a director of Premier Gold Mines Ltd., from which the Company was spun out following its acquisition by Equinox Gold Corp. in 2021.

i-80 Gold intends to maintain a Board composition of at least seven seats and will seek to fill the vacancy with a candidate whose experience and skill set will bring valuable contributions to advancing the Company's new development plan towards creating a Nevada-focused mid-tier gold producer.
