Integra Announces its 2019 Exploration Program

George Salamis, president and CEO, commented:

Given the team’s exploration success in 2018, our plan for 2019 involves a two-pronged strategy designed to accomplish two primary objectives: to conduct more drilling in proximity to discoveries made in 2018, and to complete a resource estimate, metallurgical and other advanced studies leading to a PEA study in H2. The PEA will provide direction for future mine development options and permitting initiatives on the already sizeable gold-silver resource endowment at DeLamar.

Employing our enhanced understanding from our first year of drilling at DeLamar, the first objective will be to continue drilling on extension from areas where phenomenal widths of gold-silver mineralization, in some cases with high-grades, were encountered in 2018. Areas such as Sullivan Gulch, Henrietta and Florida mountain will be hit hard with more drilling during the winter, spring and summer field seasons. In addition to in-fill and step-out drilling on known zones, our geologists have highlighted multiple new high-priority targets in under-explored greenfield areas that merit early stage exploration and reconnaissance drilling.

The second objective, and in Integra management’s view equally as value enhancing for our shareholders, is to complete a revised resource estimate, a comprehensive metallurgical study and ultimately a PEA study that will underscore the economics of potential mine permitting and development scenarios, focused on future open-pit mining, milling and heap-leaching at the project.

In summary, our objectives for 2019 are clear: we expect to emerge at the end of the year with further resource upgrades, more discoveries enhancing the up-side potential of the project, and with a PEA that will serve to further de-risk the project and point the company in the direction of future mine development. 2019 is set to be a very exciting year for the company and its shareholders.
