Integra Resources Corp. (“Integra” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce drill
results from 20 additional drill holes, representing 4,960 meters
(“m”), from the recently completed stockpile drill program at the
DeLamar Project (“DeLamar” or the “Project”) located in
southwestern Idaho. The Company is also pleased to provide a
corporate update regarding several of its properties located in
western Nevada, which were acquired as part of the merger with
Millennial Precious Metals Corp.
The stockpile drill program at DeLamar was
designed to test a large portion of the estimated 60 million tonnes
(“Mt”) 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.

m
-
The drill results announced today continue to demonstrate excellent
gold equivalent grade and drill intercept widths with strong
continuity throughout the stockpiled and backfill mineralized
material.
-
The Company has 7,368 meters of assays pending.
- Integra is currently focused on
achieving several key milestones in 2023, including an updated
mineral resource estimate and the submission of the Mine Plan of
Operations at DeLamar, as well as an updated mineral resource
estimate and Preliminary Economic Study at the Wildcat &
Mountain View Projects, located in western Nevada.
Integra’s President, CEO & Director,
Jason Kosec commented: “we are pleased to see more
successful drill results from the stockpile drill program which
demonstrate the strong continuity of mineralization within the
previously mined material at DeLamar and Florida Mountain. The
grade and intervals intercepted in this drill program have exceeded
the team’s expectations and are in-line with or better than our
original estimates, highlighting the potential for this material to
significantly increase the heap leach mine life of the Project in
future phases.”

the NDM
stockpile:https://integraresources.com/site/assets/files/2572/nr_june_2023_section_vf.pdf
The NDM stockpile cross section demonstrates the
strong grade continuity within the mineralized stockpiles, with
consistent grades above the heap leach cut-off grade. Assays are
pending for drill holes NDM-23-146 and NDM-23-046, however, the
Company expects the results to be in line with the other drilling
completed at the NDM stockpile. The NDM stockpile is estimated to
contain approximately 16 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 resource estimate cut-off date, will be included in
an updated resource estimate at the Project.

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.
Corporate Update – Final Land Payment
for Nevada Properties
On June 6, 2023, the Company completed the final
land payment of US$2.5 million to Clover Nevada LLC, a private
company controlled by Waterton Precious Metals Fund II Cayman, LP
(“Waterton”), to complete the acquisition of the Wildcat Property,
the Mountain View Property, the Ocelot Property, the Dune Property,
the Eden Property, and the Marr Property (together, the “Nevada
Properties”). Following completion of the final payment, Waterton’s
deed of trust encumbering the Nevada Properties was released and
title now resides with the Integra subsidiaries.
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.
