Managing an 'embarrassment of riches'

In this conversation, Richard Young, President & CEO of i-80 Gold, joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to discuss how his company is building a high-grade, mid-tier gold producer focused entirely on Nevada, one of the world’s best mining jurisdictions. Richard walks through i-80’s plan to grow production from under 50,000 ounces today to more than 600,000 ounces annually in the early 2030s, with the potential for long-life production way beyond that. The discussion highlights why high-grade underground mining, jurisdictional quality, and disciplined sequencing matter more than aggressive exploration in today’s gold market. Richard also outlines the key feasibility studies, recapitalization efforts, and development milestones investors should be watching over the next 12–24 months, before closing with his perspective on the global structural forces supporting gold and the importance of execution and asset quality.
