Integra Resources Corp. (“Integra” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce drill
results from 21 additional drill holes, representing 1,180 meters
(“m”), from the stockpile drill program at the DeLamar Project
(“DeLamar” or the “Project”) located in southwestern Idaho.
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 (“PFS”).

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 176 drill holes of the 321 drill holes
completed during the 12,588 m stockpile drill program which was
completed in April 2023.
- Integra intends to release an
updated mineral resource estimate for DeLamar in Q3 2023 which will
include the stockpile and backfill mineralized material. In Q4
2023, the Company plans on submitting the Mine Plan of Operations
at DeLamar, which represents a major de-risking milestone for the
Project.
Integra’s President, CEO & Director,
Jason Kosec commented: “The drill results announced today
further increase the Company’s confidence that the stockpile and
backfill material has the potential to significantly increase the
heap leach mine life of the project in future phases. For the
remainder of 2023, the team remains focused on delivering two more
significant milestones at DeLamar including the updated mineral
resource estimate in Q3 and the submission of the Mine Plan of
Operations in Q4.”

the Jacobs Gulch
stockpile:https://integraresources.com/site/assets/files/2572/jg_cross_section_july_2023_vf.pdf
The Jacobs Gulch stockpile cross section
illustrates strong grade continuity and consistent grades above the
heap leach cut-off grade, demonstrating the potential for this
material to increase the heap leach mine life in future phases. 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.

operational and economic results of technical reports on mineral
properties referenced herein; magnitude or quality of mineral
deposits; the anticipated advancement of the Company’ mineral
properties and project portfolios; exploration expenditures, costs
