VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Company") (TSXV:ITR) (NYSE:ITRG) is pleased to announce that its DeLamar Heap Leach Project ("DeLamar" or the "Project") located in southwestern Idaho has been selected for inclusion in the United States Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (the "Permitting Council") FAST-41 Transparency Projects Program.

Highlights:

• The FAST-41 Transparency Projects Program is a federal permitting framework designed to improve interagency coordination and increase transparency. Key benefits include:
  • Enhanced visibility and predictability: Agencies must develop and maintain a project-specific timetable for all required federal environmental review and permitting actions. Scheduled and actual timeframes for these actions are publicly displayed.
  • Improved coordination: Project sponsors will be designated with a dedicated project advisor from the Permitting Council, who will monitor the advancement of the Project while maintaining active engagement and coordination across federal agencies.  
  • Increased accountability: The Permitting Council provides oversight to ensure that federal agencies adhere to established timetables, including quarterly reports to Congress detailing agency compliance with Transparency Projects.
• Based on DeLamar's permitting timeline defined by the United States Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and posted to the Federal Permitting Dashboard on January 13, 2026, the federal permitting process anticipates a Record of Decision ("ROD") being published in Q3 2027, reflecting an efficient 15-month National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") process.

George Salamis, President, CEO and Director of Integra commented: "DeLamar is Integra's flagship gold-silver development asset and a high-quality growth opportunity in a tier-one jurisdiction. The Project's inclusion on the Federal Permitting Dashboard represents a meaningful milestone in DeLamar's advancement. The Company is grateful for the Permitting Council's selection, which provides enhanced transparency into federal environmental reviews and authorizations. Integra remains committed to a rigorous, inclusive, and collaborative NEPA process, supported by many years of stakeholder engagement, environmental baseline studies, and technical refinement of the mine plan design. With the BLM's anticipated 15-month NEPA review period, we believe DeLamar is well positioned to advance efficiently through permitting. Once in production, DeLamar is expected to be a cornerstone asset supporting Integra's strategy of building a high-quality portfolio of heap-leach operations in the Great Basin of the United States."

Permitting Council and FAST-41 Projects

Established under Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation ("FAST") Act (known as "FAST-41") in 2015, the Permitting Council consists of the Executive Director and Deputy Secretary level representatives from 13 federal agencies as well as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality. The Permitting Council brings federal agencies and stakeholders together to improve the permitting process for critical infrastructure projects.

FAST-41 Transparency Projects are projects directed by the Permitting Council Executive Director to be posted on the Federal Permitting Dashboard, a public online resource for information on FAST-41 projects and the environmental review and permitting processes. More information on FAST-41 projects can be found on the Federal Permitting Dashboard: www.permits.performance.gov

DeLamar Project Overview

(All amounts in United States ("U.S.") dollars unless otherwise stated)

The past producing DeLamar Project, which includes the adjacent DeLamar and Florida Mountain gold and silver deposits, is located in Owyhee County in southwest Idaho. Since acquiring the Project in 2017, the Company has demonstrated significant resource growth and conversion while providing robust economic studies in its maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment, Pre-feasibility Study, and Feasibility Study ("FS") in late-2025. The 2025 FS for DeLamar confirmed robust economics for a low-cost, large-scale, conventional open pit oxide heap leach operation, with competitive operating costs and high rate of return. The FS outlines total production of 1.1 million ounces of gold equivalent ("AuEq") over a 10-year operating mine life (plus two years of residual leaching), resulting in an average annual production profile of 106,000 ounces AuEq per annum at a co-product mine-site All-in Sustaining Cost of $1,480 per ounce ("/oz") AuEq. The Project generates an after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV5%") of $774 million with an after-tax Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 46% at base case gold and silver prices of $3,000/oz and $35/oz, respectively. After-tax NPV5% improves to $1.7 billion and after-tax IRR to 89% using recent gold and silver prices of $4,250/oz and $60/oz, respectively. Refer to the 2025 DeLamar Feasibility Study announcement news release from December 17, 2025 here.

The FS technical report will be filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov by February 2, 2026.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Alternative performance measures in this news release such as "cash cost", "AISC" and "free cash flow" are furnished to provide additional information. These non-GAAP performance measures are included in this news release because these statistics are used as key performance measures that management uses to monitor and assess performance of DeLamar, and to plan and assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of mining operations. These performance measures do not have a standardized meaning within International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. These performance measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.

Cash Costs

Cash costs include site operating costs (mining, processing, site G&A), refinery costs and royalties, but excludes head office G&A and exploration expenses.  While there is no standardized meaning of the measure across the industry, the Company believes that this measure is useful to external users in assessing operating performance.

All-In Sustaining Cost

Site level AISC includes cash costs and sustaining and expansion capital, but excludes head office G&A and exploration expenses. The Company believes that this measure is useful to external users in assessing operating performance and the Company's ability to generate free cash flow from potential operations.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flows are revenues net of operating costs, royalties, capital expenditures and cash taxes. The Company believes that this measure is useful to the external users in assessing the Company's ability to generate cash flows from the Project.

Cautionary Note for U.S. Investors Concerning Mineral Resources and Reserves

NI 43-101 is a rule of the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Technical disclosure contained in this news release has been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System. These standards differ from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and resource and reserve information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by domestic United States companies subject to the SEC's reporting and disclosure requirements.

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.
