ENGINEERING AT FLORIDA CANYON, DELAMAR AND NEVADA NORTH News provided by Integra Resources Corp. Apr 09, 2026, 06:30 ET Share this article Share to X Share this article Share to X TSXV: ITR; NYSE American: ITRG www.integraresources.com VANCOUVER, BC , April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Company") (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce the launch of a 50,000-meter drill program (the "2026 Drilling Program") across its Nevada and Idaho portfolio, marking the largest gold-focussed exploration campaign in the Company's history. Highlights: 42,500 meters of drilling planned at the gold producing Florida Canyon Mine (the "Florida Canyon Mine" or "Florida Canyon"), focused on near-mine oxide gold targets and the nearby past-producing Standard Mine area. 5,500 meters of development and resource conversion drilling planned at the Nevada North Project (Wildcat Deposit), supporting a future pre-feasibility study and resource growth. 2,500 meters of advanced engineering drilling at the DeLamar Gold-Silver Project (the "DeLamar Project" or "DeLamar") to support future development of one of the largest and most advanced undeveloped heap leach gold-silver projects in the Great Basin.
The 2026 Drilling Program is designed to expand mineral resources, extend mine life, and unlock additional value across Integra's portfolio. Initial drill results are expected in summer 2026 and will continue throughout the year. The 2026 Drilling Program marks an important investment in Integra's evolution as both a gold producer and an exploration-driven growth company, with drilling designed to expand mineral resources, extend mine life, and collect key engineering, metallurgical, and hydrogeological data to support future mine development.
George Salamis, President, CEO and Director of Integra commented: "The launch of our 2026 Drilling Program marks an exciting moment for Integra and its shareholders as we return to the drill bit in a meaningful way, to focus on resource growth and potential discoveries. This is high-return, infrastructure-led drilling. Much of the drilling will be focused on targets located near existing mining infrastructure, where success can be rapidly converted into production.
With Florida Canyon now generating strong cash flow, we are reinvesting into high-impact drilling across our portfolio. This program is designed to deliver near-term resource growth, extend mine life, and unlock additional value from infrastructure already in place. We see meaningful upside at Florida Canyon in particular, where exploration success can translate directly into production and cash flow.
With strong gold prices and extensive mining infrastructure already in place, exploration success has the potential to translate directly into additional resources, extended mine life, shared synergies between assets and long-term value creation for our shareholders." Overview The 2026 Drilling Program will focus on three cornerstone gold assets within Integra's portfolio: Florida Canyon Mine, Nevada – near-mine and regional exploration targeting oxide gold opportunities surrounding existing infrastructure, in addition to targeting and defining low grade stockpiled rock. Nevada North Project (Wildcat Deposit), Nevada – exploration, development and resource conversion drilling to support the upcoming pre-feasibility study. DeLamar Project, Idaho – advanced engineering-focused drilling in preparation for future mine development.
The 2026 Drilling Program represents the next phase in Integra's multi-year strategy aimed at unlocking additional value across its portfolio of gold-silver assets in the Great Basin. Nevada Exploration Programs Florida Canyon Mine The 2026 Drilling Program at Florida Canyon consists of approximately 42,500 meters of reverse circulation ("RC") and core drilling. Exploration activities include 9,000 meters focused on testing new gold targets identified around the Florida Canyon and Standard Mine areas (collectively, the "Florida Canyon Property") and 33,500 meters focused on resource development at the Florida Canyon Mine Property.
Drilling has already commenced and is expected to conclude in Q4 2026, with initial results anticipated during the summer of 2026. Portions of the program will also support the updated Florida Canyon feasibility study and 43-101 technical report, expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. Exploration activities will focus on three key opportunities across the Florida Canyon Property.
Opportunity 1: Underexplored Extensions of Florida Canyon Gold Mineralization (2,300 meters) Analysis of historical data and exploration work completed in 2025 identified several areas within the current Florida Canyon Mine Plan of Operations with significant exploration upside. These targets have the potential to provide near-term oxide gold ounces that could be processed using existing heap leach infrastructure. Key objectives include: Testing the Radio Tower South area, where sparse historical drilling intersected favorable near-surface oxide gold mineralization close to existing processing infrastructure.
Testing for undiscovered gold mineralization along the range-front fault, a structural feature known to locally control gold mineralization within active pits at Florida Canyon. Expanding gold mineralization south of current mining operations.

These areas represent a near-term opportunity to increase mineral resources in proximity to existing mining and processing infrastructure. Key objectives include: Evaluating gold grades and continuity within historical backfilled pits and gold mineralized waste material. Collecting material for metallurgical testing.
Identifying potential heap-leachable material that may not require blasting, improving operational flexibility. A similar exploration strategy was successfully applied at the Company's DeLamar Project in Idaho in 2022, where
