FORMER IDAHO GOVERNOR BUTCH OTTER JOINS INTEGRA BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Vancouver, British Columbia – Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV:ITR ; OTCQ X:IRRZF) (the “Company” or
“Integra”) is pleased to announce the appointment of former Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter to the
Company’s Board of Directors. Gov. Otter is a businessman who served as the 32nd Governor of Idaho from
2007 to 2019. Otter served as Lieutenant Governor from 1987 to 2001 and in the United States Congress
from 2001 to 2007. Before devoting his career full-time to serving the people of Idaho in public office, Gov.
Otter spent more than 30 years as a business leader including 12 years as President of the Idaho-based
Simplot International.
“The Board is both excited and extremely honored to welcome Butch to the Integra team,” stated Stephen
De Jong, Chairman of the Board of Integra Resources. “Butch’s can -do attitude, along with his extensive
knowledge of Idaho’s demographical landscape and proud dedication to serving Idahoans will be a fantastic
addition to the Board as we continue to advance the DeLamar Project.”
Integra Resources is a development stage mining company focussed on the advancemen t of its DeLamar
Gold-Silver Project (the “Project”) located in Owyhee County, 18 miles east of the ranching town Jordan
Valley. The DeLamar Project consist s of the two past -producing DeLamar and F lorida Mountain Mines
which shut down in the late 199 0’s due to extremely low precious metal prices. The Company’s maiden
Preliminary Economic Assessment ( “PEA”) released last week proposes an initial 10-year mine plan and
demonstrates the potential for approximately 330+ employment opportunities to be created, representing
a significant economic benefit for Owyhee and Malheur Counties.
George Salamis, Integra’s President and CEO, commented, “ With the recently announced PEA under our
belts, we are thrilled to have Butch in our corner as we march onwards towards development. Given the
robust economics de monstrated in the PEA, DeLamar could become a beacon for economic growth in
Owyhee and Malheur Counties. Butch’s motto ‘let’s get to yes’ resonates strongly with what we are looking
to achieve at DeLamar, and his addition to the team will be instrumental in navigating future steps at the
Project.”
Gov. Otter has a long track record of helping stimulate economic growth in various regions across Idaho.
When asked about joining Integra’s Board of Directors, Gov. Otter stated, “Counties such as Owyhee County
where the Project is located have been very dependent on ranching and agriculture in recent years. Modern
responsible mining, like the plan set forward in Integra’s PEA, would provide several hundred well paying
jobs for the nearby communities. Idaho’s vast mineral resources could be and should be one of the many
drivers of our economy, and I’m looking forward to working with the Integra team.”
