[{"type":"text","content":" RENO, Nev., May 24, 2023 /CNW/ - i-80 GOLD CORP. (TSX: IAU) (NYSE: IAUX) (\"i-80\", or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that, according to a preliminary list of additions posted on May 19, 2023, it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000® and Russell Microcap® Indexes at the conclusion of the 2023 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the US market opens on June 26. Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 28, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the US all-cap Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE (Financial Times Stock Exchange) Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. \"Inclusion in the Russell 3000® index validates our strategy to create a US listed, entirely US-focused gold and polymetallic exploration, development and production company.\", stated Matthew Gollat, Executive Vice-President at i-80 Gold Corp., \"i-80's trading volumes on the NYSE are consistently growing and these index additions will provide broader market access to the Company.\" Chief Executive Officer, Ewan Downie said, \"When we launched i-80 just over two years ago, we implemented a strategy to build one of the largest US-focused mining companies. This strategy included a goal to list on the New York Stock Exchange, that was achieved last year, and a target to grow liquidity, access to capital, and market value for our shareholders. Inclusion in Russell indexes is a significant step towards the realization of this target.\" Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $12.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell's US indexes that are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
