Integra Provides Corporate Update - Seite 3

President, CEO & Director, Jason Kosec, stated, “following the transformational merger with Millennial Precious Metals, Integra now controls one of the largest precious metal resource endowments in the Western USA. Our vision is to become the next mid-tier producer in the Great Basin and 2023 will be pivotal in achieving that goal. In addition to the maiden PEA for Wildcat and Mountain View and three updated resource estimates, the Company plans to submit the Mine Plan of Operations for DeLamar. The team continues to work aggressively to unlock the full potential of these projects and continue to de-risk them through advanced metallurgy, engineering, geological and environmental baseline studies, in addition to conducting exploration focused on oxide growth.”

Executive Chairman, George Salamis, added, “Integra is committed to pursuing responsible mining development in the United States and this is reflected in our approach to de-risking and developing our key projects in Idaho and Nevada. Extensive baseline work has been underway at DeLamar for over three years, studying everything from wildlife and vegetation to air and water quality and soils. The permitting team has done an excellent job and we look forward to applying the same level of dedication to the environmental baseline, stakeholder engagement, and project development work underway at Wildcat and Mountain View.”

DeLamar Permitting Update

Integra is currently in its third and potential final year of baseline study data collection for the upcoming NEPA process subsequent to the submittal to the BLM as part of the MPO in Q4 2023. To date, Integra has established 38 surface water monitoring locations and 34 historic and new groundwater wells have been sampled quarterly since 2021, resulting in over 8 quarters of site-specific data.  Baseline studies have been initiated for Wetlands, Seeps and Springs, Aquatic Resources, Air Quality, Wildlife, Vegetation, Soils, Cultural Resources, and Geochemistry in addition to Surface Water and Groundwater.  To date, no federally listed threatened or endangered species have been identified in the proposed project area.
