Company Description
Integra Resources Corp. (ITRG) is a precious metals company focused on gold and silver in the Great Basin of the Western United States. According to the company’s public disclosures, Integra is a growing precious metals producer with an operating gold mine and a pipeline of development-stage heap leach projects. Its activities are centered on open pit, oxide heap leach mining and development, with an emphasis on disciplined capital allocation and environmental, social, and governance practices.
Core operations and assets
Integra’s principal operating asset is the Florida Canyon Mine in Nevada. Company news releases describe Florida Canyon as the primary source of gold production and operating cash flow, with open pit mining and heap leach processing. The mine has generated record quarterly revenue and mine operating earnings, and Integra highlights Florida Canyon’s role in funding reinvestment in the mine and supporting broader growth plans.
Beyond current production, Integra is advancing two flagship development-stage oxide heap leach projects. The first is the past-producing DeLamar Project in Owyhee County in southwest Idaho, which includes the adjacent DeLamar and Florida Mountain gold and silver deposits. Since acquiring DeLamar in 2017, Integra reports significant resource growth and multiple economic studies, including a Preliminary Economic Assessment, a Pre-feasibility Study, and a Feasibility Study. The 2025 Feasibility Study confirms a low-cost, large-scale, conventional open pit oxide heap leach operation with a 10-year operating mine life plus residual leaching and outlines total production of 1.1 million ounces of gold equivalent over that period, based on specified gold and silver price assumptions.
The second key development-stage asset is the Nevada North Project in western Nevada, which Integra describes as being comprised of the Wildcat and Mountain View deposits. The company identifies Nevada North as part of its portfolio of near-term exploration and development projects in premier U.S. jurisdictions.
Business model and development strategy
Integra’s business model, as described in its news releases, combines current gold production with the advancement of heap leach development projects. At Florida Canyon, the company emphasizes profitability, operational excellence, and reinvestment in areas such as capitalized stripping, leach pad expansion, mining equipment enhancements, and growth-focused drilling. The mine’s cash flow is used to support drilling programs designed to expand mineral reserves and resources, extend mine life, and enhance project value.
At DeLamar, Integra focuses on de-risking the project through detailed engineering, resource conversion, and permitting. The Feasibility Study for DeLamar is based on updated mineral reserve estimates and confirms project economics under a range of gold and silver price scenarios. The company notes that DeLamar is one of a limited number of advanced-stage gold-silver development projects in the United States that has reached the Feasibility Study level and is being advanced toward federal mine permitting under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Integra also highlights a multi-year growth strategy at Florida Canyon that includes near-mine oxide drilling. The 2025 growth drilling program targets historical low-grade waste dumps and areas between existing pits, with the stated aim of increasing mineral resources and reserves and extending mine life. The company reports that drilling has confirmed near-surface oxide gold mineralization and grade continuity in these areas, and that metallurgical testing is underway to evaluate heap leach characteristics.
Permitting and regulatory framework
Permitting is a central element of Integra’s strategy, particularly at DeLamar. The company reports that the updated Mine Plan of Operations (MPO) for DeLamar has been accepted as administratively complete by the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under Title 43 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart 3809. This acceptance is described as a critical step that reflects nearly three years of environmental baseline studies, initial engineering design, and mine plan optimization.
Integra states that the MPO will serve as the basis for the BLM’s environmental review under NEPA, including preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The company outlines key next steps such as publication of a Notice of Intent in the Federal Register, public scoping, development of alternatives, and analysis of potential environmental effects on air, water, wildlife habitat, land use, cultural resources, and other factors. Integra also notes that it must obtain various federal and state permits, including groundwater, discharge, cyanidation, air quality, and Clean Water Act Section 404 permits, as well as an approved reclamation plan backed by financial assurance.
In addition, Integra has announced that the DeLamar Heap Leach Project has been selected for inclusion in the United States Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council FAST-41 Transparency Projects Program. According to the company, this program provides a project-specific federal permitting timetable, enhanced coordination among agencies, and public visibility into scheduled and actual permitting milestones. The BLM-defined schedule anticipates a Notice of Intent followed by a 15‑month NEPA review period and a Record of Decision for DeLamar, providing what Integra describes as a clear and efficient permitting pathway.
Technical studies and project characteristics
The 2025 DeLamar Feasibility Study, summarized in company news releases, presents a detailed picture of the planned operation. It describes a conventional open pit mine feeding two oxide heap leach facilities, with two-stage crushing and a reduced site footprint compared to earlier designs. The study outlines life-of-mine production, operating costs per tonne, cash costs, and all-in sustaining costs on a gold-equivalent basis, as well as capital cost estimates, reclamation costs, and sensitivity of project economics to metal prices.
Integra reports that the DeLamar mineral resource estimate is based on thousands of drillholes and hundreds of thousands of meters of drilling. The resource model includes oxide and sulphide material at the DeLamar and Florida Mountain deposits and incorporates updated price assumptions and metallurgical recoveries. The company notes that sulphide material remains in the resource, consistent with prior studies, and that a large sulphide resource is not included in the current mine plan, representing potential future upside.
At Florida Canyon, Integra’s disclosures include detailed operating statistics such as ore and waste tonnages mined, strip ratios, processed grades, recoveries, gold and silver production and sales, cash costs, mine-site all-in sustaining costs, and free cash flow. These data illustrate how the mine contributes to revenue, earnings, and cash generation, and how reinvestment in leach pads, equipment, and drilling is intended to support long-term operations.
Community, Tribal, and stakeholder relationships
Integra emphasizes stakeholder engagement and partnerships in its public statements. For DeLamar, the company reports that it has entered into a Relationship Agreement with the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation. This agreement is described as a transformative and long-term partnership for the development of DeLamar and is linked to ongoing engagement with additional Tribal Nations near the project area.
Within the NEPA and EIS processes, Integra notes that public scoping and consultation will involve federal, state, and local agencies, Tribal Nations, and the general public to identify issues and concerns. The company anticipates that a Programmatic Agreement will be developed among Integra, governmental agencies, and Tribal Nations to identify, manage, and mitigate potential impacts on culturally sensitive areas and historic properties.
