i-80 Gold Corp.

Liquidity Outlook

Changes in cash and cash equivalents are discussed in the cash flow section. Working capital has remained consistent from the prior comparative year end.

The Company through its recapitalization plan discussed in the Strategic Overview continue to work toward a restructuring of the scheduled deliveries under the Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement in 2025, which will provide the necessary liquidity to execute on its recapitalization and refinancing plan. In the short term the Company plans to meet its liquidity requirements by deferring non-essential costs until such time as additional capital is sourced to fund the development plan. The Company will need to raise additional capital for both its short-term and long-term requirements.

The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance its indebtedness depends on the Company's future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors, many of which are not under the control of the Company. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due, including, among others, debt repayments, interest payments and contractual commitments.

The Company may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service the debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to generate such cash flow, it may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. The Company's ability to refinance its indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time. The Company may not be able to engage in any of these activities, or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on its debt obligations.

In addition, the Company's arrangements with Orion and Sprott and the Convertible Debentures require the Company to satisfy various affirmative and negative covenants and, in the case of the arrangements with Orion and Sprott, to meet certain financial ratios and tests. These covenants limit, among other things, the Company's ability to incur further indebtedness, create certain liens on assets, or engage in certain types of transactions. There are no assurances that the Company will not, as a result of such covenants, be limited in its ability to respond to changes in its business or competitive activities, or be restricted in its ability to engage in mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of assets. Furthermore, a failure to comply with such covenants could result in an event of default under any debt instruments, which may allow the lenders thereunder to accelerate repayment obligations or enforce security, if any.

Debt

The Convertible Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum and will mature on February 22, 2027. Outstanding amounts under the Convertible Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at the option of the lender (a) in the case of the outstanding principal, $3.38 per common share, and (b) in the case of accrued and unpaid interest at the market price of the common shares at time of the conversion of such interest less a 15% discount. As at March 31, 2025, total principal and accrued interest was $76.9 million.

On February 28, 2025, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture to effect certain amendments to the Indenture as described in the First Quarter Overview.

The Orion Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 8.0% annually and had a previous maturity of December 13, 2025. As at March 31, 2025, total principal and accrued interest was $65.2 million.

On January 15, 2025, the Company amended and restated its convertible credit agreement with Orion and entered into the A&R Convertible Credit Agreement. As a result, the conditions relating to the deferral of gold and silver deliveries, and the extension of the Orion Convertible Loan (collectively, the "Waiver Agreements") required to be completed to-date have been satisfied.

Further to the A&R Convertible Credit Agreement, Orion and i-80 Gold have extended the maturity date of the A&R Convertible Credit Agreement from December 13, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and have put certain security in place to secure the Company’s obligations under the A&R Convertible Credit Agreement. Additional security against the Company’s Ruby Hill and Granite Creek projects was put in place on March 31, 2025. See additional discussion in the Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement deferral section below.

Sprott Convertible Loan

The Sprott Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 8.0% annually and matures on December 9, 2025. As at March 31, 2025, total principal and accrued interest is $6.0 million. The Sprott Convertible Loan contains a change of control feature, a conversion feature, and a forced conversion feature. The change of control feature and conversion feature are considered embedded derivatives by the Company and classified as derivative financial liabilities measured at fair value.

Gold Prepay

On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into a gold prepay agreement with Orion. In April 2022, the Gold Prepay was amended to adjust the quantity of the quarterly deliveries of gold, but not the aggregate amount of gold, to be delivered by the Company to Orion over the term of the Gold Prepay. Under the terms of the amended Gold Prepay, in exchange for $41.9 million, the Company was required to deliver to Orion 3,100 ounces of gold for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, and thereafter, 2,100 ounces of gold per calendar quarter until September 30, 2025, for aggregate deliveries of 30,400 ounces of gold.

On September 20, 2023, the Company entered into the A&R Gold Prepay with Orion pursuant to which the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $20.0 million (the "2023 Gold Prepay Accordion") structured as an additional accordion under the existing Gold Prepay. The 2023 Gold Prepay Accordion will be repaid through the delivery by the Company to Orion of 13,333 ounces of gold over a period of 12 quarters, being 1,110 ounces of gold per quarter over the delivery period with the first delivery being 1,123 ounces of gold. The first delivery will occurred on March 31, 2024, and the last delivery will occur on December 31, 2026.

The current portion of the liability is $14.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and the embedded derivative for the Gold Prepay agreement was $17.9 million as at March 31, 2025. On April 2, 2025, the Company delivered 6,420 ounces of gold to Orion in full satisfaction of the December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 quarterly deliveries.

On December 13, 2021, in exchange for $30.0 million, the Company entered into a silver purchase and sale agreement with Orion ("Silver Purchase Agreement"). Under the Silver Purchase Agreement, commencing April 30, 2022, the Company will deliver to Orion 100% of the silver production from the Granite Creek and Ruby Hill projects until the delivery of 1.2 million ounces of silver, after which the delivery will be reduced to 50% until the delivery of an aggregate of 2.5 million ounces of silver, after which the delivery will be reduced to 10% of the silver production solely from Ruby Hill Project. Orion will pay the Company an ongoing cash purchase price equal to 20% of the prevailing silver price. Until the delivery of an aggregate of 1.2 million ounces of silver, the Company is required to deliver the following minimum amounts of silver ("the Annual Minimum Delivery Amount") in each calendar year: (i) in 2022, 300,000 ounces, (ii) in 2023, 400,000 ounces, (iii) in 2024, 400,000 ounces, and (iv) in 2025, 100,000 ounces. In the event that in a calendar year the amount of silver delivered under the Silver Purchase Agreement is less than the Annual Minimum Delivery Amount, the Company shall make up such difference (the “Shortfall Amount”) by delivering on or before the fifteenth day of the month immediately following such calendar year (the "Delivery Deadline"). At the Company’s sole option, the obligation to make up the Shortfall Amount to Orion may be satisfied by the delivery of refined gold instead of refined silver, at a ratio of 1/75th ounce of refined gold for each ounce of refined silver. The Silver Purchase Agreement was funded April 2022.

The current portion of the liability is $7.3 million and the embedded derivative for the Silver Purchase Agreement was $15.5 million as at March 31, 2025. On April 2, 2025 the Company delivered 320,000 ounces of silver to Orion in full satisfaction of the 2024 shortfall amount.

Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement deferral

The Gold Prepay delivery scheduled for December 31, 2024, and the Silver Purchase Agreement delivery scheduled for January 15, 2025, were deferred to March 31, 2025. In connection with the gold and silver delivery deferrals and the extension to the Orion Convertible Loan (collectively, the “Waiver Agreements”), i-80 Gold issued Orion five million common share purchase warrants priced at C$1.01 as January 15, 2025. The 2025 Orion Warrants have a four-year term. In addition, i-80 Gold and Orion entered into an offtake agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”). The Offtake Agreement has similar terms to the existing agreement with Deterra Royalties Limited and will commence once the current offtake agreement expires at the end of December 2028. As amended by the Waiver Agreements there was a requirement to satisfy minimum cash requirements through March 31, 2025. The Company has satisfied the minimum cash requirements through March 31, 2025.

New Gold & Silver Prepay Agreement & Working Capital Facility

On March 31, 2025 the Company entered into a New Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement with National Bank under which National Bank purchased 6,864 ounces of gold and 345,549 ounces of silver from the Company for delivery to National Bank by September 30, 2025 or earlier, upon an infusion of capital in line with the recapitalization plan. The proceeds of this new prepay arrangement was used to satisfy the March 31, 2025 gold and silver deliveries due to an affiliate of Orion Mine Finance under its respective Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase and sale agreements. The obligations under the prepay arrangement with National Bank are secured by the FAD project. This was funded on April 1, 2025.
