Key PointsYoung acquired 1.0 million shares at $1.62 per share, representing a total capital commitment of $1.62 million on August 18, 2026.

Richard Scott Young, CEO of i-80 Gold Corp. (IAUX), acquired 1 million shares of the company on August 18, 2026, according to a recent SEC Form 4 filing. This transaction valued the shares at an average price of $1.62 per share, while the transaction's post-transaction value, based on the market close that same day, was $1.58 per share.

i-80 Gold Corp., a U.S.-based precious metals producer, boasts a market capitalization of $1.5 billion and significant assets in Nevada's Battle Mountain-Eureka region. The company's portfolio includes diverse exploration and development properties, such as the 12,000-acre Lone Tree property and the 31,000-acre McCoy-Cove project.

Despite the company's current status as a net loss-maker due to its development-stage operations, its substantial revenue base of $130 million over the trailing twelve months and strategic location in a top-tier mining jurisdiction offer a strong foundation for potential profitability as its projects progress toward production.
