i-80 Gold Drilling at Granite Creek Underscores High-Grade Growth and Resource Upside

i-80 Gold Corp ( (TSE:IAU) ) has provided an update.

i-80 Gold reported new high-grade assay results from its 2025 drilling campaign at the Granite Creek Underground Project in northern Nevada, with 40 new holes in the South Pacific Zone confirming robust mineralization and supporting the potential to expand resources to the north and at depth. The 16,000-metre program, largely focused on infill drilling, delivered several standout intercepts and is intended to convert inferred resources to the indicated category, feed an updated resource estimate, and underpin a feasibility study expected in early 2026, reinforcing the mine’s potential beyond the roughly eight-year life outlined in the prior economic study and supporting the company’s broader growth plans at its other Nevada projects.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:IAU) stock is a Hold with a C$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on i-80 Gold Corp stock, see the TSE:IAU Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:IAU Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:IAU is a Neutral.

i-80 Gold Corp’s overall stock score is primarily impacted by its financial performance, which is weak due to profitability and cash flow challenges. Despite strong technical indicators suggesting bullish momentum, the negative valuation metrics and ongoing operational challenges weigh heavily on the score. Positive developments from the earnings call and corporate events provide some optimism, but the company needs to address its financial inefficiencies to improve its overall standing.
