NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Stated in thousands of United States Dollars)
(Unaudited)

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

i-80 Gold Corp ("i-80 Gold" or the "Company"), is a Nevada-focused, growth-oriented gold and silver producer engaged in the exploration, development and production of gold, silver and poly-metallic deposits. The Company's principal assets include the Ruby Hill property, Lone Tree property, Granite Creek property and Cove Property. Each property is wholly-owned by the Company.

The Company was incorporated on November 10, 2020, in the province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol IAU and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol IAUX. Its head office is located at Suite 460, 5190 Neil Road, Reno, Nevada, 89502.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)Risks and uncertainties and liquidity

As a mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing metal prices, primarily for gold and silver. The prices of these metals are volatile and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and the quantities of mineralized material. The carrying value of the Company's property, plant and equipment, net, inventories, and certain derivative assets are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company's price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.

In addition to changes in commodity prices, other factors such as changes in mine plans, increases in costs, geotechnical failures, changes in social, environmental or regulatory requirements and impacts of global events such as future pandemics could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ("Financial Statements") have been prepared by management on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The Company’s ability to execute its plan and fulfill its commitments as they come due is dependent upon its success in obtaining additional financing. While management has been successful in raising additional funds in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Given the Company’s working capital deficit, current operating losses and management’s expectation of future losses until it has fully executed its strategy, the inability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing in a timely manner could result in the carrying value of the Company’s assets being subject to material adjustment. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties which cast substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

These Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is not able to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

(b)Basis of preparation

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites Stated of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Previously, the Company prepared its consolidated financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as permitted by securities regulators in Canada, as well as in the U.S. under the status of a Foreign Private Issuer as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Beginning January 1, 2025 the Company is required to report with the SEC on domestic forms and comply with domestic company rules. The transition to U.S. GAAP was made retrospectively. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 31, 2025 on Form 10-K.

(c)Principles of consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, the most significant of which are Premier Gold Mines USA Inc., Osgood Mining Company LLC ("Granite Creek"), Ruby Hill Mining LLC ("Ruby Hill"), Goldcorp Dee LLC ("Lone Tree"), Au-Reka Gold LLC ("McCoy-Cove"), and Golden Hill Mining LLC ("FAD"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Stated in thousands of United States Dollars)
(Unaudited)
(d)Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar ("USD" or "US dollars") which reflects the underlying transactions, events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. Management considers primary and secondary indicators in determining functional currency including the currency that influences sales prices, labor, purchases and other costs. Other indicators include the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated and the currency in which receipts from operations are usually retained.

Reference to $ or USD is to US dollars, reference to C$ or CAD is to Canadian dollars.

(e)Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 720): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective beginning with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

3.CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS

Private Placement of Common Shares

During the first quarter of 2024 the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of common shares. An aggregate of 13,064,204 shares were issued by the Company at a price of C$1.80 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$23.5 million ($17.4 million). Certain directors and/or officers of the Company subscribed for C$0.3 million in common shares under the private placement.

Acquisition of Paycore

On May 5, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Paycore Minerals Inc. ("Paycore"). Paycore’s principal asset is the FAD property that is host to the FAD deposit located immediately south of, and adjoining, the Company’s Ruby Hill Property located in Eureka County, Nevada. The acquisition consolidates the northern portion of the Eureka District, increasing the Company’s land package at Ruby Hill.

The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Paycore at an exchange ratio of 0.68 i-80 Gold common share for each Paycore common share held (the “Exchange Ratio”). All outstanding options and warrants of Paycore that were not exercised prior to the acquisition date were replaced with i-80 Gold options and warrants, as adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

The Paycore acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition as management determined that substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated on the FAD mineral property. The components of consideration that were paid is detailed in the table below:

Components of consideration paid:
Share consideration (i)$66,037
Common shares issued in relation to contingent value rights (ii)12,750
Replacement warrants (iii)2,675
Replacement options (iii)2,515
Previously held interest (iv)4,116
Transaction costs323
$88,416
(i)    The fair value of 25,488,584 common shares issued to Paycore shareholders was determined using the Company's share price of C$3.46 per share on the acquisition date.

(ii)    Following completion of the arrangement and in accordance with the Amendment to the Contingent Value Rights Agreement dated February 26, 2023 among the Company, Paycore, Golden Hill Mining LLC, and Waterton Nevada Splitter, LLC and Waterton Nevada Splitter II, LLC (collectively, "Waterton"), all of the obligations outstanding under the outstanding contingent value rights agreement between Paycore, Golden Hill Mining LLC and Waterton dated April 20, 2022, with an aggregate value of $12.75 million were satisfied through the issuance of 5,016,991 i-80 Gold common shares to Waterton on May 9, 2023. The fair value of 5,016,991 common shares issued to Waterton was determined using the Company's share price of C$3.46 per share on the acquisition date.

(iii)    The fair value of 1,727,200 replacement options and 3,755,257 replacement warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

(iv) On May 5, 2023 and immediately prior to the Paycore acquisition the Company owned 2,336,200 Paycore common shares. The Company's investment in Paycore was remeasured at fair value on the acquisition date using the Exchange Ratio and the Company's share price of C$3.46 per share on the acquisition date with the change in fair value recognized through the Consolidated Statements of Operations as further described in Note 16 of these Financial Statements.

Ruby Hill Property

During the fourth quarter of 2023 the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet in connection with a potential joint venture with an arm's length party at the Company's Ruby Hill property. In connection with the term sheet, the Company granted the potential partner exclusivity for a period of 120 days subject to extension for an additional 60-day period, in order to complete metallurgical due diligence and negotiate definitive documents. During the exclusivity period, the Company will complete a drill campaign, funded by the potential partner. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company received funding of $2.1 million from the potential partner for costs incurred in relation to the potential joint venture.

(a)Impairment

The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Mineral property interests are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the absence of other factors, a mineral property that has not been actively explored within the past three years and for which no future exploration plans exist will be considered to be impaired. There were no impairments recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

(i)Orion Convertible Loan

On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Convertible Credit Agreement with OMF Fund III (F) Ltd., an affiliate of Orion Mine Finance ("Orion") to borrow $50 million (the "Orion Convertible Loan"). The Orion Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 8.0% annually and matures on December 13, 2025. The Orion Convertible Loan contains a change of control feature, a conversion feature, and a forced conversion feature that are considered embedded derivatives by the Company. The change of control feature and conversion feature are classified as derivative financial liabilities measured at fair value. The forced conversion feature is not separated from the host contract as it is considered to be indexed to the Company's shares. During the period ended March 31, 2024, none of the features were exercised. The derivative financial liability was recorded at $13.6 million at inception and $3.8 million at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $9.0 million). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a fair value gain of $5.3 million (2023 - $7.3 million) related to the valuation of the embedded derivatives through the Consolidated Statements of Operations as further described in Note 16 of these Financial Statements. Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 18.64% to the host liability component. Interest accretion is included in interest expense. Orion is a related party (Note 19).

The initial fair value of the liability portion of the convertible loan was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non- convertible loan at the issue date. The liability is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis until extinguished on change of control, conversion or maturity of the loan.

(ii)Sprott Convertible Loan

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Convertible Credit Agreement with a fund managed by Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. and a fund managed by CNL Strategic Asset Management, LLC (“Sprott”) to borrow $10 million (the "Sprott Convertible Loan"). The Sprott Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 8.0% annually and matures on December 9, 2025. The Sprott Convertible Loan contains a change of control feature, a conversion feature, and a forced conversion feature that are considered embedded derivatives by the Company. The change of control feature and conversion feature are classified as derivative financial liabilities measured at fair value. The forced conversion feature is not separated from the host contract as it is considered to be indexed to the Company's shares. During the second quarter of 2023, Sprott converted $1.8 million in principal and $0.2 million in interest into 800,449 common shares of the Company. During the period ended March 31, 2024, none of the features were exercised. The derivative financial liability was recorded at $2.7 million at inception and $0.6 million at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $1.5 million). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a fair value gain of $0.9 million (2023 - $1.1 million) related to the valuation of the embedded derivatives through the Consolidated Statements of Operations as further described in Note 16 of these Financial Statements. Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 16.10% to the host liability component. Interest accretion is included in interest expense. Sprott is a related party (Note 19).

The initial fair value of the convertible loan was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non- convertible loan at the issue date. The liability is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis until extinguished on control, conversion or maturity of the loan.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Stated in thousands of United States Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Under the Sprott Convertible Loan and Orion Convertible Loan (the "Convertible Loans"), if a change of control occurs prior to the maturity date, the Company shall make an offer to prepay the Convertible Loans in cash, in an amount equal to 101% of the then outstanding principal amount. Outstanding amounts under the Convertible Loans are convertible into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at the option of the applicable respective lender (a) in the case of the outstanding principal, C$3.275 per common share, and (b) in the case of accrued and unpaid interest, subject to TSX approval, at the market price of the common shares on the TSX at time of the conversion of such interest. Commencing 120 days following the closing date of the Convertible Loans, on any date when the volume weighted average price equals or exceeds 150% of the conversion price for each of the preceding 20 days, the Company may at its option elect to require the lenders to convert at the conversion price all of the then outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest into common shares of the Company.

(iii)Convertible Debentures

On February 22, 2023, the Company closed a private placement offering of $65 million principal amount of secured Convertible Debentures of the Company. The Convertible Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.00% per annum and will mature on February 22, 2027. Outstanding amounts under the Convertible Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at the option of the applicable respective lender (a) in the case of the outstanding principal, $3.38 per common share, and (b) in the case of accrued and unpaid interest, subject to TSX approval, at the market price of the common shares at time of the conversion of such interest.

The Convertible Debentures contain a conversion feature, a change of control feature, and a forced conversion feature that are considered embedded derivatives by the Company. The conversion feature, change of control feature, and a forced conversion feature are classified as financial liabilities and not separated from the host liability component. The conversion feature and forced conversion feature are considered to be indexed to the Company's shares. During the period ended March 31, 2024, none of the features were exercised. Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 9.24% to the host liability component. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the host liability component after deducting transactions costs. Interest accretion is included in interest expense

Under the Convertible Debentures if a change of control occurs prior to the maturity date, the Company shall make an offer to prepay the Convertible Debentures in cash, in an amount equal to 104% of the then outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Debentures up to, and including, the change of control purchase date. The holder of the Convertible Debentures shall have the right, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures into common shares of the Company at the conversion price of $3.38 per common share. The holder shall also have the option to elect to convert all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest into common shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) the conversion price, (ii) the current market price of the common shares on NYSE at the time of the conversion of such amounts owing, or (iii) 5-day VWAP of the common shares on the TSX. If after 120 days after the issue date and prior to the maturity date, the VWAP of the common shares of the Company as measured in U.S. dollars on the NYSE American equals or exceeds 150% of the conversion price for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have right to convert all but not less than all of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures, and subject to the approval of the TSX or any applicable stock exchange, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Debentures (however, that such conversion price of the accrued and unpaid interest must not be less than the VWAP of the common shares on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant date), into common shares at the conversion price. The Convertible Debentures are not redeemable prior to the maturity date. Certain directors and/or officers of the Company subscribed for $0.23 million in principal amount of Convertible Debentures under the offering.

(iv)Gold Prepay Agreement

On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into a gold prepay agreement with Orion (the "Gold Prepay Agreement"). In April 2022, the Gold Prepay Agreement was amended to adjust the quantity of the quarterly deliveries of gold, but not the aggregate amount of gold, to be delivered by the Company to Orion over the term of the Gold Prepay Agreement. Under the terms of the amended Gold Prepay Agreement, in exchange for $41.9 million, the Company is required to deliver to Orion 3,100 troy ounces of gold for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, and thereafter, 2,100 troy ounces of gold per calendar quarter until September 30, 2025, for aggregate deliveries of 30,400 troy ounces of gold.

On September 20, 2023, the Company entered into an A&R Gold Prepay Agreement with Orion pursuant to which the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $20.0 million (the "2023 Gold Prepay Accordion") structured as an additional accordion under the existing Gold Prepay Agreement. The 2023 Gold Prepay Accordion will be repaid through the delivery by the Company to Orion of 13,333 troy ounces of gold over a period of 12 quarters, being 1,110 troy ounces of gold per quarter over the delivery period with the first delivery being 1,123 troy ounces of gold. The first delivery will occur on March 31, 2024, and the last delivery will occur on December 31, 2026. The remaining terms of the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement remain substantially the same as the existing Gold Prepay Agreement. The Company may request an increase in the prepayment by an additional amount not exceeding $50 million in aggregate in accordance with the terms of the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Stated in thousands of United States Dollars)
(Unaudited)
The Gold Prepay Agreement is recognized as a financial liability at amortized cost and it contains an embedded derivative in relation to the embedded gold price within the agreement that is measured at fair value each reporting period, as further described in Note 10 (iv) and Note 21 of these Financial Statements. Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 27.1% to the financial liability (December 31, 2023 - 27.5%). Interest accretion is included in interest expense. In determining that the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement modification was non-substantial, management accounted for the modification as an adjustment to the existing liability. The 2023 Gold Prepay Accordion liability was recorded at fair value at inception of $16.4 million.

On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into an amending agreement in relation to the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement with Orion pursuant to which the March 31, 2024 quarterly delivery of 3,223 troy ounces of gold was extended from March 31, 2024, to April 15, 2024 (the "First Amending Agreement"). Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into a second amending agreement with Orion, as further described in Note 22 of these Financial Statements.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had delivered 15,700 troy ounces of gold towards the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement with Orion, leaving 28,033 troy ounces of gold remaining to be delivered under the agreement. Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company delivered 3,223 troy ounces of gold to Orion in relation to the March 31, 2024 quarterly delivery.

(v)Silver Purchase Agreement

On December 13, 2021, in exchange for $30.0 million, the Company entered into a silver purchase and sale agreement with Orion (the "Silver Purchase Agreement"). Under the Silver Purchase Agreement, commencing April 30, 2022, the Company will deliver to Orion 100% of the silver production from the Granite Creek and Ruby Hill projects until the delivery of 1.2 million ounces of silver, after which the delivery will be reduced to 50% until the delivery of an aggregate of 2.5 million ounces of silver, after which the delivery will be reduced to 10% of the silver production solely from Ruby Hill Project. Orion will pay the Company an ongoing cash purchase price equal to 20% of the prevailing silver price. Until the delivery of an aggregate of 1.2 million ounces of silver, the Company is required to deliver the following minimum amounts of silver ("the Annual Minimum Delivery Amount") in each calendar year: (i) in 2022, 300,000 ounces, (ii) in 2023, 400,000 ounces, (iii) in 2024, 400,000 ounces, and (iv) in 2025, 100,000 ounces. In the event that in a calendar year the amount of silver delivered under the Silver Purchase Agreement is less than the Annual Minimum Delivery Amount, the Company shall make up such difference (the “Shortfall Amount”) by delivering on or before the fifteenth day of the month immediately following such calendar year (the "Delivery Deadline"). At the Company’s sole option, the obligation to make up the Shortfall Amount to Orion may be satisfied by the delivery of refined gold instead of refined silver, at a ratio of 1/75th ounce of refined gold for each ounce of refined silver. The Silver Purchase Agreement was funded April 2022.

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into an extension agreement in relation to the Silver Purchase Agreement with Orion pursuant to which the 2023 Shortfall Amount Delivery Deadline was extended from January 15, 2024, to April 15, 2024 (the "Extension Agreement"). In connection with the Extension Agreement the Company paid an amendment fee of $0.2 million and issued 0.5 million common share warrants exercisable at C$2.717 per share with an exercise period of 48 months or until January 24, 2028. Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into an amending agreement with Orion, as further described in Note 22 of these Financial Statements.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had delivered 305,395 ounces of silver towards the Silver Purchase Agreement with Orion. The current portion of the liability is $14.7 million at March 31, 2024, which includes 394,605 ounces in relation to the 2023 Annual Minimum Delivery Amount and 400,000 ounces in relation to the 2024 Annual Minimum Delivery Amount. Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company delivered 394,605 ounces of silver to Orion in full satisfaction of the 2023 Shortfall Amount.

The Silver Purchase Agreement is recognized as a financial liability at amortized cost and it contains two embedded derivatives as further described in Note 5 (i) and Note 21 of these Financial Statements. Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 12.50% to the financial liability (December 31, 2023 - 12.28%). Interest accretion is included in interest expense.

The obligations under the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement and Silver Purchase Agreement are senior secured obligations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ruby Hill Mining Company LLC, and Osgood Mining Company LLC, and secured against the Ruby Hill project in Eureka County, Nevada and the Granite Creek project in Humboldt County, Nevada.

9.RECLAMATION LIABILITIES

The Company's reclamation liabilities results from mining activities and previously mined property interests. The obligation consists primarily of costs associated with mine reclamation and closure activities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, and future expenditures could differ from current estimates. In calculating the best estimate of the Company's obligation on a net present value basis, management used credit adjusted risk-free interest rates ranging from 6.40% to 9.20%.

In connection with the Extension Agreement entered into during the first quarter of 2024, the Company issued 0.5 million common share warrants exercisable at C$2.72 per share with an exercise period of 48 months or until January 24, 2028.

The initial fair value of the warrants recognized on inception was $2.7 million and at March 31, 2024 $0.1 million (December 31, 2023 - $0.6 million).

The warrants are considered derivatives because their exercise price is in C$ whereas the Company’s functional currency is in USD.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain on the revaluation of the liability of $2.6 million (2023 - $5.6 million) through the Consolidated Statements of Operations as further described in Note 16 of these Financial Statements.

The fair value of the warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, or a Monte Carlo simulation model, if applicable taking into the account the four month hold restriction, and with the following weighted average assumptions:

March 31, 2024December 31, 2023

The current portion of the liability is $0.6 million at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $0.5 million).

(iii)Conversion and change of control right

The financial liability represents the conversion and change of control rights included in the Orion and Sprott Convertible Loans as further described in Note 8 (i), Note 8 (ii) and Note 21 of these Financial Statements.

(iv)Gold Prepay Agreement embedded derivative

The financial liability represents the embedded derivative in relation to the fixed gold price included in the Gold Prepay Agreement as further described in Note 8 (iv) and Note 21 of these Financial Statements. The Company recognizes the embedded derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a fair value loss of $3.5 million (2023 - $3.1 million) related to the valuation of the embedded derivative through the Consolidated Statements of Operations as further described in Note 16 of these Financial Statements.

The Company adopted the DSU plan to grant members of its Board of Directors non-transferable share units based on the value of the Company's share price at the date of grant. The awards have a graded vesting schedule over a three-year period. DSUs must be retained until the Director leaves the Board, at which time the awards will be equity or cash settled.

The following table summarizes the continuity of the RSUs and DSUs for the period ended March 31, 2024:

RSUs outstanding #DSUs outstanding #

As the RSUs and DSUs are expected to be settled in cash, at March 31, 2024 a current liability of $0.6 million and a long-term liability of $0.7 million was outstanding and included in other liabilities (December 31, 2023 - $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, $0.2 million has been recorded as an expense and included in general and administrative expense (2023 - $0.2 million). The total fair value of the vested and unvested RSUs and DSUs at March 31, 2024 was C$6.1 million (December 31, 2023 - $2.4 million).

For purposes of the vesting of the RSUs and DSUs, the fair value of the liability was estimated using the share price of the valuation date and an expected weighted average forfeiture rate of 3% and nil, respectively.

(f)Share-based payments

The following table summarizes share-based payment expense included in the statement of loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

12.BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. Diluted loss per share is based on the assumption that stock options and warrants that have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company's common shares during the period have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the year and the date granted. Net loss and basic weighted average shares outstanding are reconciled to diluted loss and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, as follows:

20.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Surety bonds

At March 31, 2024, the Company has outstanding surety bonds in the amount of $132.8 million in favour of either the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), or the State of Nevada, Department of Conservation & Natural Resources as financial support for environmental reclamation and exploration permitting. This includes surety bonds for the Lone Tree project and the Ruby Hill property in the amounts of $87.0 million and $27.0 million, respectively. The surety bonds are secured by a $39.0 million deposit (December 31, 2023 - $44.5 million) and are subject to fees competitively determined in the marketplace. During the first quarter of 2024, $6.0 million in cash collateral was returned to the Company. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As specific requirements are met, the BLM and State of Nevada as beneficiary of the instruments, will return the instruments to the issuing entity. As these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets, they will remain outstanding until closure.

21.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's operations include the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada. The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

Fair value

(i)Definitions

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(ii)Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

The Company calculates fair values based on the following methods of valuation and assumptions:

a.Financial assets

Financial assets other than the Company's derivative assets described below are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and receivables approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

b.Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as fair value through profit or loss are carried at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their short term nature.

Share-based payment and warrant liabilities

The share-based payment and warrant liabilities are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are fair valued using a valuation model that incorporates such factors as the Company’s share price volatility, risk free rates and expiry dates including managements assumptions on forfeiture rates.

Contingent consideration

Contingent consideration related to Granite Creek was recognized at fair value on acquisition and in the comparative period prior to settlement by the Company during the second quarter of 2024 (Note 10 (vi)). This liability was classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as it involved management's best estimate of whether or not the key activities and market conditions required for each contingent payment would be achieved. The significant unobservable inputs include such inputs as managements estimate of the probability of a positive production decision related to the Granite Creek Project and managements estimate of the probability of producing the first ounce of gold following a 60 consecutive day period where gold prices have exceeded $2,000 per ounce. The fair value of the contingent consideration was the present value of projected future cash flows using a discount rate of 7.5%.

Deferred consideration

Deferred consideration related to Ruby Hill was recognized at fair value on acquisition and in the comparative period prior to settlement by the Company during the third quarter of 2023, as further described in Note 10 (vii) of the Consolidated Financial Statements. This liability was classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as it involved management's best estimate of whether or not the key activities as described in Note 10 (vii) of these Financial Statements required for each milestone payment would be achieved. Management assumed that all milestones would be achieved and the early repayment option would be taken. The fair value of the deferred consideration was the present value of projected future cash flows using a discount rate of 7.5%.

Convertible Loans

The Convertible Loans contain conversion and change of control rights that are separately measured at fair value each reporting period (level 3). In determining the fair value at each reporting period, management judgement is required in respect to input variables of the financial model used for estimation purposes. These variables include such inputs as managements estimate of the probability and date of a change of control event, the Company's share price, share price variability, credit spreads, and interest rates. Gains and losses were recorded in other income and other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Gold Prepay Agreement

The Gold Prepay Agreement is recognized as a financial liability at amortized cost and contains an embedded derivative in relation to the embedded gold price within the agreement that is measured at fair value each reporting period (level 3). In determining the fair value of the embedded derivative at each reporting period, management judgement is required in respect to input variables of the financial model used for estimation purposes. These variables include such inputs as metal prices, metal price volatility, and risk-free borrowing rates. Gains and losses were recorded in other income and other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Silver Purchase Agreement

The Silver Purchase Agreement is recognized as a financial liability at amortized cost and it contains two embedded derivatives; one in relation to the embedded silver price within the agreement and the other in relation to the gold substitution option whereby i-80 Gold can choose to deliver gold instead of silver at a ratio of 75:1, both are measured at fair value each reporting period (level 3). On initial recognition and at March 31, 2024, the gold substitution option did not have any value. In determining the fair value of the embedded derivatives at each reporting period, management judgement is required in respect to input variables of the financial model used for estimation purposes. These variables include such inputs as metal prices, metal price volatility, risk free borrowing rates and the Company's production profile. Gains and losses were recorded in other income and other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

22.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Bought Deal Public Offering

On May 1, 2024, the Company completed a bought deal public offering of an aggregate of 69,698,050 units (each, a “Unit“) at a price of C$1.65 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$115 million (the “Offering“), including the full exercise of the previously announced over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company. Each warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of 48 months from closing of the Offering at an exercise price of C$2.15 per share.

The underwriters were paid a cash commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding proceeds from sales of Units to certain president’s list purchasers. The Offering was completed pursuant to a short form prospectus dated April 25, 2024 (the “Prospectus“). Certain directors and officers of the Company purchased an aggregate of 300,000 Units pursuant to the Offering.

Second Amending Gold Prepay Agreement

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a second amending agreement with Orion to amend the terms of the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement (the “Second A&R Gold Prepay Agreement). In accordance with the terms of the Second A&R Gold Prepay Agreement, Orion agreed to extend the deadline for the outstanding deliveries previously required to be made on or before April 15, 2024 under the A&R Gold Prepay Agreement until May 10, 2024.

In addition, if the Company meets the Gold Option Criteria (as defined below) it may elect to defer the deadline to deliver any of its quarterly gold delivery obligations for the 2024 calendar year (each instance, a “Gold Deferral”) by delivering to Orion, on or before September 30, 2025, the adjusted quarterly gold quantities (multiplied by 1.15 for gold deliveries made prior to June 30, 2025 and 1.19 for gold deliveries made thereafter). In order for the Company to implement a Gold Deferral, (i) it must be in compliance with the use of proceeds section as described in the Prospectus (the “Budget”) and (ii) after assuming the delivery of the applicable quarterly gold quantity on the applicable unextended quarterly deadline, the Company would not have sufficient funds to remain in compliance with the Budget (collectively, the “Gold Option Criteria”). In addition, should the Company complete an equity offering after the date of the Second A&R Gold Prepay Agreement until September 30, 2025 (other than the Offering pursuant to the Prospectus), the Company will be required to deliver such number of gold ounces to Orion as is equal to 34% of the net proceeds of such offering, divided by the applicable gold price at such time, by way of a prepayment of the Company’s quarterly deliveries for the 2024 calendar year; provided that at such time a notice of Gold Deferral has been delivered in accordance with the Gold Prepay Amendment.

The Second A&R Gold Prepay Agreement is subject to standard conditions and covenants, including minimum cash balance and certain reporting requirements. Obligations under the Second A&R Gold Prepay Agreement continue to be senior secured obligations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ruby Hill Mining Company, LLC and Osgood Mining Company, LLC and secured against the Ruby Hill project in Eureka County, Nevada and the Granite Creek project in Humboldt County, Nevada. In connection with the Second A&R Gold Prepay Agreement the Company paid an amendment fee of $0.5 million to Orion.

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into an amending agreement with Orion (the “Amended Silver Purchase Agreement”) to amend the terms of its Silver Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Amended Silver Purchase Agreement, Orion agreed to extend the deadline for the outstanding deliveries required to be made on or before April 15, 2024 under the Amended Silver Purchase Agreement until May 10, 2024.

If the Company meets the Stream Option Criteria (as defined below) it may elect to defer the requirements to deliver its annual minimum delivery amount for 2024 (a “Stream Deferral”) by delivering to Orion, on or before September 30, 2025, the adjusted annual minimum delivery amount (multiplied by 1.07 for silver deliveries made prior to June 30, 2025 and 1.11 for silver deliveries made thereafter). In order for the Company to implement a Stream Deferral, (i) it must be in compliance with the Budget and (ii) after assuming the delivery of the applicable minimum delivery amount in respect of 2024 by January 15, 2025, the Company would not have sufficient funds to remain in compliance with the Budget (collectively, the “Stream Option Criteria”). In addition, should the Company complete an equity offering on or after January 1, 2025 until September 30, 2025, the Company will be required to deliver such number of ounces of refined silver to Orion as is equal to 16% of the net proceeds of such offering, divided by the applicable silver market price at such time; provided that at such time a notice of Stream Deferral has been delivered in accordance with the Amended Silver Purchase Agreement.

The Amended Silver Purchase Agreement is subject to standard conditions and covenants, including minimum cash balance and certain reporting requirements. Obligations under the Amended Silver Purchase Agreement continue to be senior secured obligations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ruby Hill Mining Company, LLC and Osgood Mining Company, LLC and secured against the Ruby Hill project in Eureka County, Nevada and the Granite Creek project in Humboldt County, Nevada.
