2021 Fourth Quarter Highlights
2021 Year to Date Highlights
"Beginning on the first day of trading in April, 2021, the i-80 team was acutely focused on building a tier–one operations team to realize the Company's goal of becoming a significant gold producer in the state of Nevada", stated Ewan Downie, Chief Executive Officer of i-80. "We immediately began executing our plan by augmenting our property portfolio with the closing several strategic asset acquisitions and commencing mine development. By solidifying our balance sheet through the completion of successful financings, i-80 is now in the enviable position of aggressively realizing our peer-best growth plan to become one of the leading gold producers in the United States."
Three months ended December 31, 2021
On October 14, 2021, the Company completed the Asset Exchange with NGM (a joint-venture between Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Corporation). The Asset Exchange resulted in the Company acquiring the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain gold deposits and certain processing infrastructure, including an autoclave, from NGM in consideration for: (i) the Company's 40% ownership in the South Arturo Property; (ii) assignment of i-80 Gold's option to acquire the adjacent Rodeo Creek exploration property; (iii) contingent consideration of up to $50 million based on production from the Lone Tree property; and (iv) arrangement of substitute bonding in respect of the Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain reclamation obligations. The Lone Tree and Buffalo Mountain Properties were acquired by i-80 Gold's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Goldcorp Dee LLC ("Goldcorp Dee"). In connection with the Asset Exchange the Company recognized the fair value of the assets acquired and derecognized the book value of 40% of the South Arturo mine. The difference between these two values resulted in a one-time non-cash gain net of tax of $106.7 million dollars.

At both operations, no gold ounces were produced and sold as residual heap leaching continued and the 1,733 gold ounces from Lone Tree and 1,312 gold ounces from Ruby Hill contained in loaded carbon which were produced had not yet been further refined as a finished product as of December 31, 2021. All operating costs were capitalized as inventory and will be recognized as operating income (loss) as revenue from the ounces produced is recognized.
Exploration, evaluation, and pre-development total costs of $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $3.9 million over the comparable three month period of 2020 mainly due to exploration and pre-development work at Granite Creek that started in the second quarter of 2021.
