  • Integra continues to intersect high-grade gold and silver at Florida Mountain. Highlight intercepts include:
    • Drill Hole FME-20-084
      • 1.51 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 102.12 g/t silver (“Ag”) (2.82 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEq”)) over 87.48 meters (“m”)
        • Including 8.91 g/t Au and 607.55 g/t Ag (16.73 g/t AuEq) over 6.25 m
        • Including 7.57 g/t Au and 652.54 g/t Ag (15.96 g/t AuEq) over 1.37 m
    • Drill Hole FME-20-80
      • 11.75 g/t Au and 1,951.88 g/t Ag (36.87 g/t AuEq) over 1.68 m
        • Including 25.29 g/t Au and 3,841.14 g/t Ag (74.73 g/t AuEq) over 0.76 m
    • Drill Hole FME-20-081
      • 11.07 g/t Au and 1,480.13 g/t Ag (30.12 g/t AuEq) over 0.61 m
  • Five drill holes representing approximately 1,500 m of the 7,000 m exploration drill program at the Florida Mountain Deposit intersected significant high-and-low-grade gold and silver mineralization both within and below the existing NI 43-101 resource boundary. Approximately, 2,625 m remain to be drilled at Florida Mountain.

  • Large geophysical anomaly recently discovered through Induced Polarization (“IP”) Geophysical surveys immediately west of Florida Mountain in an area that has seen very limited historic drill testing.

  • The Company has completed 2,800 m of metallurgical drilling to date in 2020 to characterize recovery variability within oxide and transitional mineralization. Data from this program is currently being used to optimize processing options at DeLamar and Florida Mountain, and advance metallurgical knowledge toward a pre-feasibility level on both Deposits. Results of note in this drilling include:
    • Drill Hole IDM-20-165
      • 17.45 g/t Au and 56.22 g/t Ag (18.18 g/t AuEq) over 2.29 m
    • Drill Hole IDM-20-172
      • 0.30 g/t Au and 61.30 g/t Ag (1.09 g/t AuEq) over 92.81 m

  • Two exploration drill rigs are currently in operation at Florida Mountain, and a third exploration drill rig is currently drill testing high-grade targets at War Eagle. Assays are pending for both targets.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 24, 2020 -- Integra Resources Corp. (“Integra” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce further exploration results from the 2020 Florida Mountain exploration program at the DeLamar Project, situated in Owyhee County in southwest Idaho. The drill and geophysics results outlined today continue to underscore the strong exploration potential that exists in near-deposit targets at Florida Mountain.

“With three exploration drill rigs in operation at the DeLamar Project, today’s drill results continue to demonstrate the potential for a significant high-grade resource at Florida Mountain,” commented George Salamis, President and CEO of Integra Resources. “In addition to today’s strong drill results, the first IP geophysics campaign at Florida Mountain has identified a large chargeability anomaly immediately west of the current NI 43-101 resource that coincides strongly with soil geochemistry. In addition to the aggressive 16,000 m exploration drill campaign underway, this year’s extensive IP geophysics work is progressing rapidly. The results to date have continued to correlate strongly with known mineralization, while simultaneously identifying new areas that are yet to be drill tested.”

(1) Downhole thickness; true width varies depending on drill hole dip; most drill holes are aimed at intersecting the vein structures close to perpendicular therefore true widths are close to downhole widths (approximately 70% conversion ratio)
(2) Intervals reported are uncapped
(3) Gold equivalent = g Au/t + (g Ag/t ? 77.70)
(4) For the interval that was previously mined/stoped and was therefore unrecoverable and unverifiable, a grade of 0 g/t Au was inserted for compositing.

The intercepts reported today consist of mineralization with wide-spread low-grade gold-silver values, crosscut and underlain by narrower high-grade, steeply dipping low-sulphidation quartz-adularia veins. Widespread intercepts from shallow oxide and transitional resource definition drilling conducted by Integra over the previous two years has confirmed potentially mineable widths and grades for these high-grade structures.

Integra’s exploration team has modeled 7 high-grade vein structures that appear similar in size and orientation to the historically productive high-grade Trade Dollar – Black Jack vein system. Most historic underground production stemmed from the Trade Dollar – Black Jack vein, while the remaining 6 veins saw limited production up until mining operations ceased with the start of World War 1. Geometrically, the veins occur in the form of plunging shoots over an altitude difference of approximately 300 m below the apex of Florida Mountain. Strike lengths of the individual shoots tend to be 100 m to 200 m long and with widths of between 1 m and 8 m.

This recently improved model of high-grade veins at Florida Mountain provided much of the fundamental data that helped design the drill program currently underway. In today’s results, drill hole FME-20-084 intercepted several of the high-grade plunging shoots in a target area where Integra geologists have modelled the northern extension of the Trade Dollar – Black Jack vein. Deep intersects on drill hole FME-20-80 have intercepted the extension of the Alpine Vein, one of the six veins west of the Trade Dollar – Black Jack vein. Since 2018, Integra has drilled 13 drill holes at Florida Mountain that have intersected the targeted high-grade shoots. Of these 13 drill holes, 8 drill holes intersected sufficiently encouraging widths and grades to warrant further exploration for potentially underground mineable mineralization at Florida Mountain. To date, only a small percentage of these prospective vein structures have been drill tested.

Induced Polarization Geophysics Results

The Company recently completed the first 4 lines of a 12-line IP geophysics program over Florida Mountain. IP has proven to be a very effective tool for target generation in the DeLamar District because of the association of disseminated sulfide alteration with gold and silver mineralization. The IP data released today delineates an anomaly 1,200 m in length to the west of the NI 43-101 Resource Estimate at Florida Mountain in an area known as Rich Gulch. This anomaly coincides with an arsenic (“As”) and Au soil geochemistry anomaly. Historic drilling within the delineated zone of high-chargeability reported the following select intercepts:

Drill Hole Number* From (m) To (m) Interval (m) g/t Au
SRDH6 0.0 53.34 53.34 11.13
F0500 74.68 123.44 48.76 0.94
F0482 1.52 35.05 33.53 0.79

*The historic drill data reported in this release was developed by previous operators of the Florida Mountain Project prior to the introduction of NI43-101. Historic drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals are estimated to be less than 75% of the reported widths. The historic drill data was sourced from Kinross/Nerco DeLamar Mine exploration and production data and reports. Integra Resources is providing this historic data for informational purposes only, and gives no assurance as to its reliability or relevance. Integra Resources has not completed any quality assurance program or applied quality control measures to the historic data. Accordingly, the historic data should not be relied upon.

(2) Intervals reported are uncapped
(3) Gold equivalent = g Au/t + (g Ag/t ? 77.70)

The 2020 metallurgical drill program has been designed to characterize recovery variability within the oxide and transitional mineralization at the DeLamar Project. The program seeks to further optimize processing options at DeLamar and Florida Mountain, and advance the Company’s metallurgical knowledge as Integra moves toward a pre-feasibility level on both Deposits in 2021.

Notable drill results from the program to date, in addition to the expected runs of mineralization in line with the current NI 43-101 resource, are provided in the table above. These results underscore the potential for high grade in historic structures that have not been the target of much modern exploration drilling, as well as the strong potential to increase the current resource as Integra aims to push all current drill holes beyond and below its boundary.

Next Phases of the 2020 Exploration Drill Program

At present, two exploration drill rigs continue to target high-grade vein structures on Florida Mountain, while a third exploration drill rig is on War Eagle Mountain where it has recently moved to test the soil geochemical anomaly identified in 2019. Florida Mountain drilling continues to test the “proof-of-concept” for high-grade underground veins. A second phase of drilling at Florida Mountain will shift the focus to drill testing the north and south extensions to the near-surface oxide and transitional mineralization. Results to date of the Project-wide 2020 exploration drill program have been released for 3,050 m of the proposed 16,000 m program.

Following drilling at Florida Mountain and War Eagle, drill rigs will then move to the Blacksheep Area and the Deadwood Ridge Area that lie northwest of the DeLamar Deposit, where approximately 3,000 m of exploration drilling is planned to test several significant soil geochemical and IP anomalies. A recent rock chip sampling program was completed over the outcropping vein zone at Georgianna in the southern half of Black Sheep. In addition, a zone approximately 300 m x 100 m of intense stockwork vein mineralization was delineated at the Lucky Days target also in Blacksheep.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources

The terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”, “inferred mineral resource” used herein are Canadian mining terms used in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as may be amended from time to time (the “CIM Definition Standards”). Inferred mineral resources' have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Industry Guide 7 ("Industry Guide 7"). United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

Under Industry Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made. While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”, and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and historically they have not been permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained herein concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public under Industry Guide 7 by U.S. companies in SEC filings.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
