Nevada-focused i-80 Gold has appointed Richard Young as chief executive officer and a director, effective immediately. He succeeds Ewan Downie, who has retired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young brings extensive financial, development and operational experience to i-80, having previously held senior positions at multiple companies. Most recently, he served as president and CEO of Argonaut Gold, which was acquired by Alamos Gold in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am excited to join i-80, owner of the largest gold and silver resource base in the United States, not owned by a senior gold company. Ewan and the team have assembled an incredible group of projects, that collectively have the potential to create a United States mid-tier gold producer over the next few years. Our focus in the short term will be to more fully assess the portfolio with a vision of developing both the sulfide and oxide deposits,” said Young. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am pleased that Ewan has agreed to continue to serve as an advisor to the company on the development and expansion of this already significant portfolio of gold, silver and base metal projects.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his career, Young has been responsible for implementing award-winning sustainability programs and received the 2008 and 2017 PDAC Sustainability Award, and the 2020 UN Global Compact Canada SDG Accelerator Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
