i-80 Gold Corp. has completed a financing package of up to US$500 million to advance its development and recapitalization plans. The financing package consists of a US$250 million royalty sale to Franco-Nevada Corporation, in exchange for a life-of-mine net smelter return royalty, and a gold prepayment facility for up to US$250 million from National Bank of Canada and Macquarie Bank Limited. Under the royalty financing, Franco-Nevada agreed to provide US$250 million in exchange for a 1.5 percent life-of-mine net smelter return royalty, stepping up to a 3.0 percent life-of-mine net smelter return royalty on January 1, 2031, applying to production across i-80 Gold's Nevada portfolio, including Granite Creek, Cove, the Ruby Hill Complex, and Lone Tree. The gold prepayment facility with National Bank of Canada and Macquarie provides an initial advance of US$150 million, with an accordion feature for a further US$100 million. The proceeds will be used to advance i-80 Gold's current projects and to extinguish the company's existing debt obligations, forming part of a broader recapitalization plan aimed at establishing a fully funded development plan for the company's objective of creating a mid-tier gold producer in Nevada. The package forms part of a recapitalization exceeding US$1 billion in raised and available capital.
