Rhea-AI Summary
Integra Resources (NYSE American: ITRG) filed a Feasibility Study Technical Report for the wholly owned DeLamar Heap Leach Project dated February 2, 2026 (effective December 8, 2025).
The FS models 1.1 million oz AuEq over a 10-year mine life (plus two years residual leaching), average annual production of 106,000 oz AuEq, a co-product AISC of $1,480/oz AuEq, after-tax NPV5% ≈ $774M and after-tax IRR 46% at base case prices ($3,000/oz Au; $35/oz Ag). At higher metal prices ($4,500/oz Au; $65/oz Ag) after-tax NPV5% rises to ≈ $1.9B and IRR to 97%.

Over the past months, Integra reported several milestones. On Dec 22, 2025, it fully converted and repaid a Beedie Capital convertible debenture, followed by an internal reorganization of Beedie’s holdings on Dec 23, 2025. In January 2026, the company received a federal permitting schedule and FAST‑41 selection for DeLamar, both highlighting a 10‑year, 1.1M oz AuEq heap leach project with $1,480/oz AISC and $774M after‑tax NPV5%. On Jan 26, 2026, Florida Canyon reported 2025 gold production meeting guidance. Today’s feasibility report filing formalizes those prior study results.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement formalizes the DeLamar Heap Leach Project’s Feasibility Study Technical Report under NI 43‑101, confirming a 10-year, 1.1M oz AuEq open pit heap leach operation with average 106,000 oz AuEq annually and $1,480/oz AISC. The study cites after-tax NPV5% of $774M and IRR of 46% at base prices, with higher values at recent metal prices. In context of earlier permitting-schedule news, investors may focus on regulatory milestones, funding strategy and delivery versus these feasibility assumptions.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of factors and assumptions made by management and considered reasonable at the time such statement was made. Assumptions and factors include: the Company's ability to complete its planned exploration and development programs; the absence of adverse conditions at the Project and the Company's mineral properties; satisfying ongoing covenants under the Company's loan facilities; no unforeseen operational delays; no material delays in obtaining necessary permits; results of independent engineer technical reviews; the possibility of cost overruns and unanticipated costs and expenses; the price of gold remaining at levels that continue to render the Project and the Company's mineral properties economic; the Company's ability to continue raising necessary capital to finance operations; and the ability to realize on the mineral resource and reserve estimates. Forward–looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or result expressed or implied by such forward–looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: general business, economic and competitive uncertainties; the actual results of current and future exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; meeting various expected cost estimates; benefits of certain technology usage; changes in Project parameters and/or economic assessments as plans continue to be refined; future prices of metals; possible variations of mineral grade or recovery rates; the risk that actual costs may exceed estimated costs; geological, mining and exploration technical problems; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing; risks related to local communities; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities); title to properties; and other factors beyond the Company's control and as well as those factors included herein and elsewhere in the Company's public disclosure. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Alternative performance measures in this news release such as "AISC" is furnished to provide additional information. Non-GAAP performance measures such as AISC 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.
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.
