NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, subject to final regulatory approval, it has issued an additional 2,380,000 flow-through units (the "Additional Units") for gross proceeds of $749,700 further to its previously announced brokered private placement financing (the "Offering"), under which the Company had previously raised $3.3 million in gross proceeds on August 20, 2012. The issuance of the Additional Units represents the partial exercise of the 15% over-allotment option granted under the Offering as well as a further increase in the size of the Offering.

Together with the Additional Units, the Company has to date raised aggregate gross proceeds of $4,049,375.58 from the sale of 11,184,332 flow through units ("FT Units") at a price of $0.315 per FT Unit, and 1,949,300 non-flow through units ("NFT Units") at a price of $0.27 per NFT Unit for a combined total of 13,133,632 units. The Offering was conducted on a best efforts agency basis by a syndicate of agents led by Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. and included Stonecap Securities Inc. and Euro Pacific Canada (collectively the "Agents").

Each Flow Through Unit consisted of one flow through common share and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each Non-Flow Through Unit consisted of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole Flow Through warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.45 for 18 months following completion of the Offering. Each whole Non-Flow Through warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.40 for 18 months following completion of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units primarily for expenditures on the Company's Lamaque Property as well as for general working capital. The Agents received a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units and compensation options exercisable to acquire that number of common shares of the Company as is equal to 4% of the total number of Additional Units issued and sold, at an exercise price of $0.27 per share, for a period of 18 months.

All securities comprising the Additional Units and the securities issuable thereunder are subject to a four-month hold period expiring January 13, 2013. The sale of the Additional Units is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
