Integra Gold Announces Updated PEA Incorporating Acquisition of Sigma/Lamaque Mill and Mine Complex: Pre-tax IRR of 77%, NPV (5%) of C$184.3M using US$1,175 gold price

PEA Highlights

• Base case pre-tax IRR of 77% and NPV (5% discount rate) of C$184.3M (after-tax IRR of 59% and NPV of C$113.5M) ⁽¹⁾
• Pre-production capital requirements reduced by C$7.3M from C$69.2M to C$61.9M
• Pre-production period reduced from 24 months to 18 months as a result of existing infrastructure and permits from the acquisition of the Sigma/Lamaque Mill and Mine Complex and the optimized mine plan for the North Zone
• Life of mine ("LOM") cash cost of C$551 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of C$731 per ounce
• Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "PEA") uses the same mineral resource estimate as the previous PEA and does not incorporate drilling completed since April 2013 or any of the Sigma/Lamaque mineral resources obtained in the acquisition noted below

Additional Drilling 

• More than 70,000 meters ("m") of drilling was completed subsequent to the database cut-off date (April 2013) for the mineral resource estimate used in the PEA
• Resource update incorporating this drilling is currently underway

Sigma-Lamaque Resource Review Completed

• Analysis of the prior resource estimate at Sigma-Lamaque which was acquired in the transaction has now been completed and will be included in the PEA technical report; these resources have not been accounted for in the PEA

⁽¹⁾ The PEA is preliminary in nature and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Integra Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") carried out on the Company's flagship Lamaque Gold Project (the "Lamaque Project") in Val-d'Or, Québec, Canada. The PEA was prepared by InnovExplo Inc. ("InnovExplo") with technical contributions from Amec Foster Wheeler Environment and Infrastructure ("Amec"), Geologica Groupe-Conseil Inc., Geopointcom Inc. and WSP Canada Inc. ("WSP"). The technical report with respect to the PEA will be filed on the Company's website and SEDAR within 45 days..
