/CNW/ -
Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Company")
(TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce that the Company has been included in the
VanEck Junior Gold Miners ("GDXJ") exchange-traded fund ("ETF"), effective at the close of markets on
March 20, 2026, pursuant to the GDXJ quarterly rebalance. The GDXJ is an ETF that tracks an index of
small- and mid-cap companies primarily involved in gold and silver mining, providing investors indirect
exposure to precious metals through junior mining equities.
George Salamis, President, CEO, and Director of Integra, commented
: "We are pleased to have
met the criteria for inclusion in the GDXJ, a globally recognized exchange traded fund. This milestone
reflects Integra's growing profile as an investment opportunity and the significant transformation the
Company has undergone over the past eighteen months. During this period, Integra has transitioned
from a U.S. gold developer to a U.S. gold producer through the acquisition of the Florida Canyon Mine,
where we are advancing operational improvements and exploration drilling to enhance value and increase
mine life. At the same time, we continue to advance our flagship DeLamar project in Idaho, through
feasibility and permitting, while progressing our Nevada North portfolio toward future pre-feasibility
studies. We believe this momentum is being recognized by the capital markets, and our inclusion in the
GDXJ should enhance Integra's visibility, improve trading liquidity, and broaden our appeal to a wider
universe of institutional and retail investors."
