The face of King Charles III instead of that of Queen Elizabeth II will begin to be seen on new British coins and banknotes issued in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries beyond the British Isles. These include Canada, Australia, New Zealand, British territories in the Caribbean, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and the English Channel islands of Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man.

I-80 Gold Discovers High-Grade
Silver-Rich Mineralization At Ruby Hill in Nevada

Company Announcement
Tuesday, August 30, 2022

RENO, Nevada -- I-80 Gold Corp.  (TSX:IAU, NYSE:IAUX) announces that high-grade, silver-rich, polymetallic CRD mineralization has been discovered in drilling the Hilltop target at the company’s 100%-owned Ruby Hill Property in Eureka County, Nevada.

Highlight results from initial drilling at the Hilltop target:

iRH22-25 (lower horizon) – four intercepts:

-- 671.0 g/t Ag, 7.7 % Zn, and 26.4 % Pb over 0.9 m (19.6 oz/ton silver -- 3.0 ft).

-- 238.8 g/t Ag, 11.0 % Zn, and 9.0 % Pb over 9.4 m (7.0 oz/ton Ag -- 31.0 ft).

-- 469.5 g/t Ag, 11.8 % Zn, and 18.2 % Pb over 2.1 m (13.7 oz/ton Ag -- 7.0 ft).

-- 1,006.0 g/t Ag, 10.9 % Zn, 27.7 % Pb, and 1.6 % Cu over 0.9 m (29.4 oz/ton Ag -- 3.0 ft).

iRH22-43 (upper horizon):

-- 515.3 g/t Ag, 28.9 % Pb, 10.5 % Zn, and 0.9 g/t Au over 28.3 m (15.0 oz/ton Ag – 92.5 ft).

Additionally, two historic holes in the Hilltop target area contain significant intercepts:

HC1427 (lower horizon):

-- 769.2 g/t Ag, 12.4 % Zn, 13.9 % Pb, and 1.0 % Cu over 5.8 m (22.4 oz/ton Ag – 19.0 ft).

BRH-22 (upper horizon):

-- 929.7 g/t Ag and  21.6 % Pb over 4.6 m (27.1 oz/ton Ag – 15.0 ft).

The Hilltop target is one of five conceptual exploration targets drilled in the 2022 program at Ruby Hill and was identified for its potential to host polymetallic (silver-lead-zinc) mineralization. The new zone of mineralization is located approximately 400 meters southwest of the poly-metallic Blackjack Zone and immediately south of the Archimedes pit and the planned portal that the company is advancing for construction. ...

“At current metal prices, the rock value of the initial drill intercepts in the Hilltop Zone represent some of the highest-grade mineralization identified, on a per-tonne basis, to date at Ruby Hill," said Ewan Downie, CEO of I-80. "Given its proximity to the underground infrastructure planned in 2023, this zone is expected to fit in to our future development and mine plans such that we ultimately expect to produce gold, silver, and base metals." ...

Exactly when Britons will notice these changes is not immediately clear, and existing currency with a rendition of Queen Elizabeth will remain in circulation as legal tender, but the Bank of England will likely not wait long to begin effecting the change. There are 4 1/2 billion pound notes in circulation, adding up to about $93 billion. These will have to be replaced, a process likely to be carried out over several years. 

During the short reign of King Edward VIII, new coins with his likeness were struck but the monarch abdicated the throne before they could be put into circulation. 

New Royal Mail postage stamps will also bear the king's image or profile, but according to British media reports the cypher of Queen Elizabeth, ER, that now adorns Royal Mail post boxes will remain. The Guardian reported that some post boxes still bear the cypher GR, that of  King George VI, who preceded Elizabeth II on the throne. 

The ER cypher also appears on police helmets. Those may start to be modified in consideration of the new monarch. The royal cypher EIIR that is emblazoned on flags that fly on official buildings and sometimes on vessels of the Royal Navy is likely to change. ...
