Integra Resources Corp. (“Integra” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce drill
results from 21 additional drill holes, representing 860 meters
(“m”), from the recently completed stockpile drilling program at
the DeLamar Project (“DeLamar” or the “Project”) located in
southwestern Idaho. The Company is also pleased to provide an
update on the previously announced share consolidation which,
following the receipt of final regulatory approvals, is now
expected to become effective on May 26, 2023.
The Stockpile drilling 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.
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.

70.10 m
- Observations are consistent with
previously reported results from the stockpile drilling program,
with results demonstrating excellent gold equivalent grade and
drill intercept widths with strong continuity throughout the
material.
- Final drill samples have been
shipped to the assay lab and estimation work has commenced for the
updated mineral resource estimate at DeLamar, including results
from the stockpile drilling program.
- Results from 8,229 m, representing
226 drill holes, have yet to be released. The Company will continue
to release results as they are received from the lab.
Integra’s President, CEO & Director,
Jason Kosec commented: “the successful completion of the
stockpile drilling program this winter required a monumental effort
and we are extremely thankful for our industry leading team at
site. Overall, the drill program was a resounding success with the
results exceeding our original estimates and modeling in terms of
grade and continuity. The updated resource estimate, including
results from the stockpile drill program is expected to demonstrate
the potential for the material to significantly increase the heap
leach mine life in future phases as well as enhance the overall
project economics at DeLamar.”

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.

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.
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.
Share Consolidation Update
In connection with the previously announced
at-market merger of Integra and Millennial Precious Metals Corp.
(“Millennial”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the
“Arrangement”) that was completed on May 4, 2023, the Company will
consolidate all of its Common Shares on the basis of one (1) new
post-consolidation Common Share for every two and a half (2.5)
existing pre-consolidation Common Shares (the “Consolidation”).
The Board of Directors of the Company have
approved the Consolidation, which will be effective as of May 26,
2023. The Consolidation reduces the number of outstanding Common
Shares from 171,943,828 to approximately 68,777,531. Proportionate
adjustments will be made to the Company’s outstanding stock
options, restricted share units and deferred share units. No
fractional Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the
Consolidation and any fractional Common Shares that would have
otherwise been issued will be rounded to the nearest whole Common
Share.
A letter of transmittal with respect to the
Consolidation will be mailed to the Company’s registered
shareholders. All registered shareholders will be required to send
their certificate(s) or direct registration system advices (“DRS
Advices”) representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares, along with
a properly executed letter of transmittal, to the Company’s
registrar and transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, in accordance with
the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal.
Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker,
investment dealer, bank or trust company should contact that
nominee or intermediary for their post-Consolidation positions. A
copy of the letter of transmittal is posted on the Company’s issuer
profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. It is anticipated that the
post-Consolidation Common Shares will commence trading on the TSX
Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and the NYSE American under its new
CUSIP number 45826T509 (ISIN CA45826T5098) on May 26, 2023. The
Company’s TSXV ticker symbol “ITR” and NYSE American ticker symbol
“ITRG” will remain the same.
Millennial Warrants
Pursuant to the Arrangement, each Millennial
warrant to purchase common shares (a “Millennial Warrant”) will,
upon the exercise of such rights, entitle the holder thereof to be
issued and receive for the same aggregate consideration, upon such
exercise, in lieu of the number of Millennial common shares (each,
“Millennial Share”) to which such holder was theretofore entitled
upon exercise of such Millennial Warrants, the kind and aggregate
number of Common Shares that such holder would have been entitled
to be issued and receive if, immediately prior to the effective
time of the Arrangement, such holder had been the registered holder
of the number of Millennial Shares to which such holder was
theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Millennial Warrants. All
other terms governing the warrants, including, but not limited to,
the expiry date, exercise price and the conditions to and the
manner of exercise, will be the same as the terms that were in
effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement,
and shall be governed by the terms of the applicable warrant
instruments. Pursuant to the Consolidation, proportionate
adjustments will be made to the aggregate number of Common Shares
that such holder is entitled to upon exercise of such Millennial
Warrants and to the exercise price of the Millennial Warrants.
Prior to the completion of the Arrangement,
Millennial had outstanding a class of Millennial Warrants listed on
the TSXV under the trading symbol MPM.WT (the “Listed Millennial
Warrants”). The Listed Millennial Warrants will continue trading on
the TSXV as Millennial Warrants, under their existing trading
symbol, and will remain listed on the TSXV until the earliest to
occur of their exercise, expiry or delisting. Pursuant to the
Consolidation, the exercise price of the Listed Millennial Warrants
will be adjusted from CDN$0.55 to CDN$1.375 and every one (1)
Listed Millennial Warrant will be exercisable to acquire 0.092 of a
Common Share.
As required by the warrant indenture in respect
of the Listed Millennial Warrants, Integra has entered into a
supplemental warrant indenture in respect of such warrant indenture
governing the Listed Millennial Warrants. A copy of the
supplemental warrant indenture is available on Millennial’s and
Integra’s respective SEDAR profiles at www.sedar.com.
