Eva Bellissimo Resigns from i-80 Gold Corp Board of Directors Effective October 2025

Resignation Announcement of Board Member Eva Bellissimo

RENO, Nev., October 23, 2025 – i-80 Gold Corp. (TSX: IAU, NYSE American: IAUX) has officially announced the resignation of Eva Bellissimo from its Board of Directors, effective October 31, 2025. This decision comes as Ms. Bellissimo seeks to allocate her efforts toward her expanding career responsibilities after being appointed as the National Practice Group Leader of the Business Law Group at McCarthy Tétrault LLP. In her new role, she also co-leads the firm’s Global Metals and Mining Group, which requires significantly more of her time and attention.

Ms. Bellissimo was a founding Board member of i-80 Gold since the company was established in 2021. Up until now, she held the position of Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Prior to her role at i-80 Gold, she served as a director at Premier Gold Mines Limited. The connection between the two companies was solidified when i-80 Gold spun out following Premier's acquisition by Equinox Gold Corp. in 2021.

Ron Clayton, Chairman of the Board at i-80 Gold, expressed gratitude for Ms. Bellissimo's contributions to the company's journey. “Eva has been a strong and dedicated Board member whose insight and experience have been highly valuable as we advanced an industry-leading pipeline of projects,” he stated. He added, “On behalf of the Board and management team of i-80 Gold, we thank Eva for her service, commitment to good governance, and meaningful contributions to the Company's growth.”

With this resignation, the company is now looking to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Bellissimo’s departure. i-80 Gold intends to maintain its commitment to a diverse and experienced Board composition of at least seven members. The search will focus on finding a candidate whose skills and qualifications align with the company’s vision of becoming a leading mid-tier gold producer concentrated in Nevada.
