Integra Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce drill results from 20 additional drill holes, representing 1,009 meters from the stockpile drill program at the DeLamar Project located in southwestern Idaho.

The stockpile drill program at DeLamar was designed to test a large portion of the estimated 60 million tonnes of mineralized material that was stockpiled and/or used as backfill at the Project. The Company believes that additional oxide-and-mixed material from the stockpiles and backfill at DeLamar has the potential to significantly increase the heap leach mine life of the Project in future phases and further bolster the robust economics presented in the Company’s 2022 Pre-feasibility Study.

• The latest drilling highlights from DeLamar (North DeLamar, Sommercamp, Stockpile 1 and 2) include:

  • WD1-23-168: 0.65 g/t Au and 20.91 g/t Ag (0.92 g/t AuEq) over 39.62 m, including 12.51 g/t Au and 31.04 g/t Ag (12.91 g/t AuEq) over 1.52 m
• The latest drilling highlights from Florida Mountain (Jacobs Gulch and Tip Top) include:
  • JG-23-046: 0.35 g/t Au and 7.83 g/t Ag (0.45 g/t AuEq) over 35.05 m
  • JG-23-158: 0.42 g/t Au and 7.30 g/t Ag (0.51 g/t AuEq) over 39.62 m
  • JG-23-097: 0.35 g/t Au and 7.34 g/t Ag (0.45 g/t AuEq) over 35.05 m
• The drill results announced today continue to demonstrate excellent gold equivalent grade and drill intercept widths with strong continuity throughout the stockpile and backfill mineralized material.
• The Company has released 155 drill holes of the 321 drill holes completed during the 12,588 m stockpile drill program which was completed in April 2023.
• Following the successful release of the updated mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Wildcat & Mountain View Projects, the Company is currently focused on delivering an updated mineral resource estimate for DeLamar in Q3 2023, including the stockpile drilling, as well as the submission of the Mine Plan of Operations at DeLamar in Q4 2023.

Integra’s President, CEO & Director, Jason Kosec commented: “The drill results announced today continue to demonstrate significant intervals of mineralization with strong grade continuity at our flagship DeLamar project. The mineralized material, which was mined and stockpiled by previous operators, has the potential to significantly increase the heap leach mine life of the project in future phases, further enhancing the robust economics presented in the 2022 Pre-feasibility Study. The team is currently working to deliver an updated mineral resource estimate for DeLamar, which will include drilling from the stockpiles, later this quarter.”

Detailed Drill Results

The following table highlights selected intercepts from the DeLamar backfill and stockpile drill program announced today^1,2,3,4:

^{(1) Downhole thickness is true thickness.
(2) Intervals reported are uncapped.
(3) AuEq = g/t Au + (g/t Ag ÷ 77.70). Rounding may cause minor discrepancies in the AuEq column.
(4) Au recovery based on cyanide shakes (“AuCN”) run on all intervals with Au assay values >0.1 g/t.}

The following table highlights selected intercepts from the Florida Mountain backfill and stockpile drill program announced today^1,2,3:

^{(1) Downhole thickness is true thickness.
(2) Intervals reported are uncapped.
(3) AuEq = g/t Au + (g/t Ag ÷ 77.70). Rounding may cause minor discrepancies in the AuEq column.}

The Jacobs Gulch stockpile cross section illustrates strong grade continuity and consistent grades above the heap leach cut-off grade. The Jacobs Gulch stockpile is estimated to contain approximately 8.9 Mt of the approximate 60 Mt of mineralized material that was stockpiled and/or used as backfill by previous operators. Drill spacing is completed at 60 m with some areas drilled at 30 m spacing to further confirm continuity. The stockpile drilling, along with additional drilling that occurred after the last mineral resource estimate cut-off date, will be included in an updated mineral resource estimate at the Project in Q3 2023.

Cyanide shake analysis is not performed on Florida Mountain samples as gold occurrences in Florida Mountain material can often be coarse in nature, making comparisons between cyanide shake analyses and fire assays unreliable. Once pulverized, as per any cyanide shake procedure, all Florida Mountain material show high recoveries by cyanidation, rendering cyanide shake analysis unreliable for differentiating between ores that can be heap leached and those requiring grinding to achieve high recoveries.

Sampling and QA/QC Procedure

Thorough QA/QC protocols are followed on the Project, including insertion of duplicate, blank and standard samples in the assay stream for all drill holes. The samples are submitted directly to American Assay Labs in Reno, Nevada for preparation and analysis. Analysis of gold is performed using fire assay method with atomic absorption (“AA”) finish on a 1 assay ton aliquot. Gold results over 5 g/t are re-run using a gravimetric finish. Silver analysis is performed using ICP for results up to 100 g/t on a 5-acid digestion, with a fire assay, gravimetric finish for results over 100 g/t silver.

Execution of Drill Program – Methodology

The stockpile drill program was executed at 60 m collar spacings with select 30 m infill test holes to further verify grade variability in future resource estimation and to provide additional metallurgical samples. All drilling was vertical through the entirety of the stockpiles and backfill material. The drilling was conducted by a combination of Sonic and traditional reverse circulation (“RC”) with casing advance drilling methods. Both these drilling methods maintain high sample quality and integrity throughout the drilling process. Additionally, the two drilling methods provided a basis for continuity comparison. Sampling was conducted at 1.5 m intervals for the whole of the drilling program with all samples sent to a third-party lab for analysis. The Sonic Drilling provided material suitable for ongoing comprehensive metallurgical test work.
