Director Yopps Steven W. initiates new position in IAUX, buying 50.0K shares at $1.47 for $73.5K total with stock down -34.8% from 52-week high.

Director Yopps Steven W. initiated a brand-new position in i-80 Gold Corp. (IAUX), purchasing 50,000 shares at $1.47 per share for a total of $73,500.00, moving from 0 shares to 50,000 shares post-transaction. The purchase comes as the stock sits -34.8% below its 52-week high of $2.24 and has declined -12.0% over the past 30 days and -23.2% over 90 days. The company reported quarterly revenue of $52,390,000.00 but posted a net loss of $-78,601,000.00, and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, though annual revenue growth was +89.1%. A director opening a fresh position of this size during a sustained price decline and against a backdrop of significant net losses is a notable data point for investors monitoring insider activity at IAUX.

Director Ronald Butler Jr. bought 17.7K shares of IAUX at $1.41 (54.1% increase in holdings) amid -13.8% 90-day decline.

Ronald Butler Jr., a Director, purchased 17,730 shares at $1.41, raising his position from 32,800 to 50,530 shares—a 54.1% increase in absolute holdings. The purchase occurred while i-80 Gold trades at $1.56, down 13.8% over the past 90 days and 25.0% from its 52-week high of $2.08. The company is currently unprofitable, with a full-year net income of $-41.9M, though annual revenue growth of +89.1% indicates operational expansion. This insider acquisition during a period of recent stock decline and sustained losses warrants scrutiny into whether the director views the current price as attractive or possesses material information about near-term operational recovery.

Director John William Seaman bought 32,000 shares of IAUX at $1.42; Director joins 3 other insiders buying within 14 days amid -26.9% monthly decline.

Director John William Seaman purchased 32,000 shares of i-80 Gold Corp. at $1.42 on 2026-03-30, expanding his holdings to 387,897 shares (+9.0% vs. pre-transaction). The transaction occurs within a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. This synchronized buying is notable given that the stock has declined -26.9% over the past 30 days and sits -26.9% below its 52-week high of $2.08. Seaman's prior trades at IAUX show mixed timing outcomes (2 of 3 well-timed at the 90-day mark), though his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90d return of +37.3% across 3 prior buys with a 66.67% win rate. The company reported latest-quarter revenue of $32,019,000.00 with a net loss of $-41,867,000.00 and remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, despite annual revenue growth of +89.1%. The convergence of multiple insider purchases during a sharp near-term drawdown in an unprofitable but fast-growing company warrants observation of whether this reflects underlying business trajectory or represents accumulation at depressed levels.

CEO Richard Scott purchased 1,000,000 shares of IAUX at $1.40 on 2026-03-25, now at $1.43; cluster buy with 2 other insiders in 14 days.

Richard Scott, President and CEO, purchased 1,000,000 shares at $1.40 on 2026-03-25, increasing his holdings from 3,971,000 to 4,971,000 shares (+25.2%). The transaction occurs within a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting alignment among leadership on current valuation. However, context is mixed: the stock trades at $1.43 currently, down 31.2% from its 52-week high of $2.08 and down 25.5% over the past 30 days, while the company reported a net loss of $-41,867,000 in its latest quarter despite strong annual revenue growth of +89.1%. Scott's prior buy at this ticker on 2025-05-26 returned +25.1% in 30 days and +46.7% in 90 days, suggesting selective timing acumen at IAUX, though his cross-ticker track record shows a 50% 90-day win rate on 2 prior buys.

EVP David Savarie bought 6,500 shares of IAUX at $1.40; holdings rise to 369.7K shares amid -31.2% YTD decline and cluster buying by 3 insiders.

Savarie, as EVP and General Counsel, purchased 6,500 shares at $1.40 on 2026-03-25, expanding his position to 369.7K shares. This buy occurs while the stock trades -31.2% from its 52-week high and has declined -25.5% over the past 30 days. His prior trades at IAUX show 3 of 5 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent buy on 2025-11-17 returning +44.8% over 30 days and +84.8% over 90 days. The company reported $32.0M quarterly revenue with annual growth of +89.1%, yet remains unprofitable with a -$41.9M net income. The transaction coincides with a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days, suggesting collective conviction despite the stock's recent weakness and unprofitable operating status.

Significance 4

Director John William Seaman bought 20,000 shares of IAUX at $1.30; stock at 52-week high of $1.43

Director Seaman purchased 20,000 shares at $1.30, increasing his holdings by 6.1% to 346.9K shares. The stock has appreciated 43.2% over the past 30 days and 53.1% over 90 days, now trading at the 52-week high of $1.43. However, this backdrop raises caution: Seaman's only prior measurable same-ticker purchase (2025-02-28) delivered a +10.0% 30-day return but a -7.8% 90-day return, and his cross-ticker track record shows 0 of 1 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark with a 0.00% win rate. The company remains unprofitable with -$41.9M net income in the latest quarter and declining annual revenue (-8.3%), adding fundamental headwinds to what appears to be a buy near or at resistance.

Director Seaman John William bought 30,000 shares of IAUX at $1.03 on 2025-11-25, increasing holdings to 326.9K shares (+10.1%).

Seaman John William purchased 30,000 shares at $1.03, a price 5.5% below the current price of $1.09, and 8.0% below the 52-week high of $1.12. The purchase adds 10.1% to his stake, now reaching 326.9K shares. However, his cross-ticker track record reveals a concerning pattern: 1 prior buy averaged a 90-day return of -7.8%, with a 0.00% win rate at the 90-day mark. His same-ticker history at IAUX shows the identical outcome—a prior buy on 2025-02-28 that returned -7.8% over 90 days. The company remains unprofitable with net income of $-41.9M against quarterly revenue of $32.0M, and annual revenue contracted by 8.3%. Stock momentum is positive in the short term (+18.4% over 30 days, +41.9% over 90 days), but this appears disconnected from the director's historical execution pattern and fundamental headwinds.

Significance 5

SVP/General Counsel Savarie David Roger purchased 5,000 shares of IAUX at $1.05; cross-ticker track record shows mixed timing (50% 90d win rate).

Savarie David Roger, SVP and General Counsel of i-80 Gold Corp., purchased 5,000 shares at $1.05 on 2025-11-17, increasing holdings from 258,200 to 263,200 shares. His cross-ticker buy track record shows an average 90d return of +17.0% with a 50% win rate, indicating inconsistent execution timing. At this specific ticker (IAUX), his prior 4 buys show mixed results: 2 of 4 generated positive 90d returns (+36.8% and +46.7%), while 2 resulted in losses (-7.8% each), creating a 50% success pattern. The company faces headwinds with annual revenue declining 8.3% and a full-year net loss of $-41.9M, though the stock has gained 50.2% over the past 90 days, now trading at $1.08 versus the purchase price of $1.05. This is a routine insider purchase by a senior officer without clear signals of strategic conviction given the company's unprofitable fundamentals and the insider's historically split track record.

SVP General Counsel Savarie David Roger bought 12,000 IAUX shares at $0.62 on 2025-06-11; zero 90d wins in cross-ticker history

Savarie David Roger, SVP and General Counsel of i-80 Gold Corp., purchased 12,000 shares at $0.62 on 2025-06-11, increasing his holdings by 4.9% to 258,200 shares. This marks his fourth open-market buy in the cross-ticker record, though his prior three buys generated an average 90-day return of -7.8% with a 0.00% win rate at the 90-day mark. At i-80 specifically, his two prior measurable buys (both on 2025-02-28) also showed 90-day losses of -7.8%, establishing a pattern of poorly timed accumulation at this ticker. The company remains unprofitable with annual net income of $-41.2M against quarterly revenue of $14.0M, and the stock is currently -43.7% from its 52-week high of $1.19, having recovered 30.0% in the past 30 days from $0.62. The insider's consistent pattern of negative 90-day returns on prior trades, combined with the company's fundamental weakness, suggests this accumulation carries execution risk rather than conviction-driven signal.

Significance 5

Director Begeman buys 50,000 IAUX shares; 5 other insiders also bought in past 14 days amid stock -55.5% from 52-week high.

John Arthur Begeman, as a Director, purchased 50,000 shares of i-80 Gold Corp. (IAUX) on 2025-05-26, increasing his holdings from 767.7K to 817.7K shares. This transaction occurs amid significant price weakness: the stock trades at $0.53, down -55.5% from its 52-week high of $1.19 and down -16.2% over the past 30 days. The company posted a net loss of $-41.2M on quarterly revenue of $14.0M and is unprofitable, with annual revenue declining -8.3% year-over-year. Notably, a cluster of 5 other insiders also bought IAUX shares within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated insider activity during a period of depressed valuation. Begeman's same-ticker history shows one prior buy on 2025-02-28 that returned +10.0% over 30 days, though longer-term outcomes at this ticker remain incomplete.
