Demand seasonality for i-80 Gold Corp.'s products is primarily driven by global investment and cultural demand for gold. Key seasonal periods for gold demand include the late summer/fall rally (August-October), the winter rally (November-January), the spring rally (mid-March to early June), and the summer doldrums (May-July).
