$IAUX i-80 Gold Corp. (NYSE: IAUX) is the reminder that high-grade underground projects do not always hold their schedules. In June 2026 , the company reported infill results from its Archimedes Underground project in Nevada including 16.2 g/t gold over 56.4 metres and said development remained on schedule for first gold in the fourth quarter of 2026. In the same release, it pushed the timing of feasibility-level studies for its Granite Creek and Cove underground projects back by a quarter.
What the Comparison Shows
Set side by side, the group sorts neatly by what investors are being asked to underwrite. Perpetua offers scale and federal backing, but a multi-year build. Dakota Gold offers a long-life, low-grade deposit that depends on volume. Nova is betting on processing capacity ahead of its own mine. i-80 shows both the upside of high-grade underground ore and how easily technical timelines move.
