  • 21 of 31 planned drill holes completed on Parallel Vein
  • Vein 6 drilling completed and core re-sampled and being re-assayed
  • Mylamaque core re-sampled and being re-assayed
  • SRK Consulting contracted to assess Lamaque Gold Project
  • Resource update release imminent

INTEGRA GOLD CORP. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the 28,000 meter drill program on the Lamaque Gold Project located in Val d'Or, Quebec, is proceeding according to plan and is on time and within budget. The Company continues to adjust its exploration program as drill results come in and resource estimates are being prepared.

"The progress that has been taking place is encouraging for the Company and our shareholders. The drill program continues to point the way forward and verifies our geological program. Our contract with SRK Consulting will give us invaluable insight as to what additional steps need to be undertaken prior to beginning pre-feasibility studies. It is reassuring to know that Integra's Lamaque Gold Project is on track, on schedule, on budget, and that we can look forward to the impending updated resource estimate," stated John de Jong, CEO and President.

Parallel Vein

Twenty-one of thirty-one planned holes announced on October 17, 2011, have been completed on this exploration segment with the intent to:

Purpose Number Length
Verify possibility of open pit access to mineralization 21 DDH Short
Verify zone or vein repetition 4 DDH Long
Increase density of information(minimum 30 meter spacing) 6 DDH Long

The Company's most recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate released in June, 2011 reported the following results on the Parallel Zone.

Tonnes Grade Ounces (troy ) Category
659,959 4.80 g/t Au 101,794 Indicated
211,484 1.72 g/t Au 11,681 Inferred

The 31 additional holes being drilled on the Parallel Zone will allow for a higher level of confidence and possible expansion of the existing resources and category. This drill program has been designed to verify the possibility of open pit mining and the prospect of access to other zones on the Gold Project. Gold mineralization as previously reported included, 54.31 g/T gold over 6.00 m; 16.63 g/T gold over 5.00m; 14.99 g/T gold over 8.50 m and 10.55 g/t gold on 4.50m. (Please refer to the October 17, 2011, news release for additional information).

Vein #6

Six drill holes were completed in mid-October, complimenting previous drilling. This zone contains historical inferred resources of 23,400 ounces consisting of 117,000 short tons at .20 ounces per ton (Blecha June 3, 1986). A total of 528 core samples and 24 re-samples have been taken and sent to the ALS Laboratory in Val d'Or, Quebec. Assay results for all drill holes have been received; however re-assays are still pending on holes 2, 3, 5 and 6.

Mylamaque Zone

Drilling has been completed on this zone. All assays have been received however assay results of core samples from a number of holes indicated that mineralization extended to the outer limits of the submitted samples. Therefore thirty-seven additional core samples have been re-sampled and submitted for assay. A complete report of results for this zone will be released once all assays have been received and the information is compiled. The Company's plan to prepare a resource estimate for this zone will occur when all information has been compiled and validated.

SRK Consulting Contracted

SRK's Scope of Work, Execution Plan and Deliverables

The scope of work is to conduct a high level review of the exploration work completed to date and the exploration strategy deployed by Integra and their consultants on the Lamaque property. This review involves having an experienced geologist travel to Val-d'Or to meet with Integra and their exploration consultants and review the methodology, objectives and results of the exploration work completed on the Lamaque property. SRK will review future exploration strategy set forth by Integra for this asset to evaluate the future development potential of the zones of gold mineralization delineated on the property.

SRK will discuss the site visit findings with staff environmental and mine engineers to assess mine development plan options for each of the gold zones, in the context of the historical Lamaque mine and residual underground and surface infrastructures. The main deliverable of this assignment will be a technical memorandum that will summarize the work undertaken by SRK, the professional opinions about the exploration strategy and results, and comment on the mine development potential of the gold mineralization.

Company and Gold Project Location

Integra's Lamaque Gold Project is located in the Val d'Or gold camp in the Province of Quebec, Canada, which is rated one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Infrastructure, human resources and mining expertise is readily accessible.

The Company's shares are tightly held by several major private investors, institutions and a major gold producer, Shandong Gold International Mining Ltd. The Company's focus is to advance gold zones demonstrating potential for open pit mining and where gold resources can be added quickly to the reported gold resource of 2,114,742 metric tons, average grade 5.67 g/t gold for 385,656 ounces troy inferred and 659,959 metric tons, average grade 4.80 g/t gold for 101, 794 ounces troy indicated.

The gold project shares its northeastern border with the producing Sigma Mine which has produced 4.7 million ounces of gold to date and has reported significant gold resources and reserves. On its northwest border is the Main Plug which produced the majority of its 4.7 million ounces of gold for the historic Lamaque Mine. The Agnico-Eagle Goldex Mine located approximate 5 kilometers west reports reserves of 3.5 million gold ounces, and directly west of Goldex is the producing Osisko Mine reporting reserves of 15.9 million ounces of gold.

The Lamaque Property is located about 550 km northwest of Montréal, Quebec. The property consists of four (4) contiguous mining concessions and twenty (20) mining claims for a total of 1,459 hectares, owned 100% by Integra.

QUALITY ASSURANCE - QUALITY CONTROL

Thorough quality assurance and quality control program (QA/QC) protocol was utilized on the project including duplicate, blank and standard samples for all the holes. The core samples were respectively submitted directly to ALS Laboratory Group and Bourlamaque Labs in Val-d'Or for preparation and analysis. Analysis was conducted on 1 assay ton samples. Analysis of gold was by fire assay, with a gravimetric finish on samples exceeding 5 g/t gold. The gravimetric assay results were used for the reported composite intervals. The Lamaque project exploration is under the direct supervision of Alain Beauregard, P.Geol. of Geologica Inc., an independent qualified person as designated by National Instrument 43-101, who has reviewed the technical content of this release.
