GRANITE CREEK

Granite Creek (formerly Pinson) – i-80 Gold, A New, Nevada Focused Mining Company

i-80 Gold was recently formed when Equinox Gold completed its acquisition of Premier Gold Mines. i-80 Gold then acquired the Pinson mine, renamed it Granite Creek, and continue their efforts to bring this mine into full production.

SMD has assisted the former Owner, Waterton Global, with care and maintenance activities for a number of years after they acquired the property out of the Atna bankruptcy. We continued this support and began doing various rehab within the mine to support underground drilling mid-year 2021.

As i-80 Gold has continued drilling activities and advancing the project, we have continued to accelerate our support. We are proud to support i-80 Gold’s underground mining program at Granite Creek. They have continued to ramp up production and we are proud to be here supporting their goals.
