Imperial Gold is focused on the communities within which we live and work. The Imperial Gold Project will present numerous community benefits, including new jobs, a rise in local community-based spending, and overall economic stimulation.
Economic Benefits*
Our plans for the Imperial Gold Project call for a direct investment of at least $1.1 billion to be spent in Imperial County and the State of California.
