In this interview with Richard Young, President and CEO of i-80 Gold (TSXV: IAU), we explore one of the most ambitious growth plans underway in the gold sector. The company is ramping one underground mine, building two more, advancing two open pits, and targeting production of more than 600,000 ounces a year by the early 2030s. Richard breaks down how the team plans to get there and what investors should focus on as the projects move through construction, ramp-up, and feasibility.
Richard shares his perspective on the current gold market, highlighting how emerging market demand, central bank buying, and limited global supply have created a very different pricing environment from past cycles. He explains how these factors are influencing I-80’s planning and how the tone of conversations with banks and investors has shifted toward long-term bullishness, with some lenders now modeling gold scenarios above $6,000.
