INTEGRA ANNOUNCES C$25 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS
Toronto, Ontario – Integra Resources Corp. (CSE:ITR) (the “Company” or “Integra”) is pleased to announce
that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of agents, led by GMP Securities L.P. (“GMP”), and
including Raymond James Ltd., Cormark Securities Inc., Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. , PI
Financial Corp., and Paradigm Capital Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”), that have agreed to sell, on a “best
efforts” private pla cement basis, a minimum of 29,500,000 subscription receipts (the “ Subscription
Receipts”) at a price of C $0.85 per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price”), for minimum aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately C$25.0 million (the “Offering”).
Upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below) on or prior to December 29,
2017 (the “ Escrow Deadline”), each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically converted without any
further action by the holder, and for no additional consideration, into one common share of the Company
(an “Integra Share”).
The gross proceeds of the Offering less the Agents’ expenses (the “Escrowed Funds”) shall be deposited in
escrow on the closing date of the Offering which is scheduled to be on or about October 3 0, 2017 (the
“Closing Date”). Upon satisfaction of the following conditions (the “ Escrow Release Conditions”) prior to
the Escrow Deadline, the Escrowed Funds sha ll be released from escrow as follows: (i) as to an amount
equal to the Commission, to the Agents; and (ii) as to the balance, to the Company:
(i) delivery of a title opinion addressed to the Agents on the DeLamar property located in
Owyhee County, Idaho, in form and substance satisfactory to the Age nts, each acting
reasonably;
(ii) the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Stock Purchase
Agreement (as defined below) other than payment of the cash portion of the purchase
price due in connection with the Acquisition (as defined below);
(iii) the receipt of all required approvals including, without limitation, the conditional
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV”) for the listing of the Company’s
common shares (including the Integra Shares issuable upon conversion of the
Subscription Receipts), the Acquisition and the Offering;
(iv) the delivery by the Company of a certificate addressed to the Agents certifying that the
conditions in (i), (ii) and (iii) above have been satisfied; and
(v) Integra and GMP having del ivered a release notice to the subscription receipt a gent (the
“Subscription Receipt Agent”) to the Offering.
If: (i) the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to the Escrow Release Deadline; (ii) the
stock purchase agreement dated September 18, 2017 am ong Company, Kinross Gold U.S.A., Inc., Kinross
DeLamar Mining Company and Integra Holdings U.S. Inc. (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) is terminated
at an earlier time, or (iii) the Company has advised the Agents and Subscription Receipt Agent or
announced to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions, holders of
Subscription Receipts shall be refunded the full subscription price attributable to the Subscription
Receipts together with any interest that was earned thereon during the term of escrow.
It is anticipated that the net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the cash portion of the
Company’s proposed acquisition of the DeLamar property from Kinross Gold Corporation (the
“Acquisition”), to fund exploration and development expenditures at the DeLamar property, and for
general corporate purposes. The Company has also entered into binding lett ers of intent with two
private companies to acquire the adjacent Florida Mountain claims, and this property may be acquired by
the Company on or following completion of the Acquisition and the Offering. The acquisition of the
Florida Mountain claims is conditional upon the completion of the Acquisition.
The Agents will receive a cash commission (the “ Commission”) equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from
the Offering, and the Company shall issue to the Agents broker warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) equal to
6% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering, in consideration of the services
rendered by the Agents in connection with the Offering (other than in respect of proceeds from sales to
a “president’s list” of C$2,000,000 on which no fee is payable). Provided the Escrow Release Conditions
are satisfied, each Broker Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for one common share of
the Company at a price per share equal to th e Issue Price for a period of 18 months from the Closing
Date. The Commission will be placed in escrow on the Closing Date and will be released to the Agents
upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.
The Offering remains subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approva ls, including, without
limitation, the approval of the TSXV.

U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws, and
may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States
persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these
securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
About the DeLamar Mine Acquisition from Kinross
On September 15th, 2017, Integra announced the acquisition of the DeLamar and Florida Mountain gold-
silver projects, both situated in southwestern Idaho ( https://www.integraresources.com/17-09-18.pdf).
As highlighted in that news release, Integra will acquire a 100% interest in the past producing DeLamar
Mine from a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation in addition to a 100% interest from a private entity on
claims covering the neighboring Florida Mountain gold-silver project.
On October 10th, 2017, Integra announced a maiden inferred resource estima te on the DeLamar gold -
silver ( https://www.integraresources.com/17-10-10-NR.pdf). The Inferred resource is defined by 1,550
historical drill holes drilled to an average depth of only 120m and delineates the remaining ‘open -pit’
oxide, partly oxidized and unoxidized mineralization at DeLamar, which is hosted within felsic
volcanics. The resource estimate incorporates roughly 143,000m of historic drilling into the global
resource for the Proper ty. Resource work for DeLamar was completed by Mine Development Associates
(“MDA”) of Reno, Nevada.
At a 0.3 g/t AuEq cut-off grade, inferred resources of 117,934,000 tonnes grading 0.41 g/t gold and 24.34
g/t silver, for a total of 1,592,000 ounces of gold and 91,876,000 ounces of silver, or 2,673,000 ounces of
gold equivalent (“AuEq”) averaging 0.7 g/t AuEq were estimated. (Au Equivalent = Au g/t + (Ag g/t ÷
85)).123 45
As shown in the sensitivity analysis included in the news release, increasing the AuEq cut-off grade to 0.75
g/t results in an inferred estimate of 33,716,000 tonnes grading 0.69 g/t gold and 48.69 g/t silver, for a
total of 735,000 ounces of gold and 52,747,000 ounces of silver, or 1,356,000 ounces of AuEq averaging
1.26 g/t AuEq (Au Equivalent = Au g/t + (Ag g/t ÷ 85)).12345
Integra’s management holds the view that the project exhibits significant exploration upside, remaining
open at depth, with limited historical deep drilling below 250 meters. The limited deep drill hole data
available dating back to the early 1990s includes intercepts which have intersected the series of deeper
high-grade veins, including6:
o 105.4 g/t Au and 41.0 g/t Ag (105.9 g/ AuEq) over 10.7 metres
o 10.1 g/t Au and 116.6 g/t Ag (11.5 g/t AuEq) over 18.3 metres
o 10.1 g/t Au and 188.1 g/t Ag (12.3 g/t AuEq) over 18.3 metres
In addition, excellent metallurgical gold -silver recoveries in historical conventional milling past
production, and column leach test work designed to approximate potential heap- leaching, demonstrate
the potential viability of both options for any future development (subject to further test work).
Integra plans to use a significant portion of the proceeds from the Offering on a 20,000 meter
(predominantly RC) drill program, tentatively scheduled to commence in Q1 2018, aimed at specifically
targeting low-grade and high grade gold- silver mineralization on extension from previous drill intercepts
compiled on the DeLamar gold-silver project.
1 Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
2 Mineral Resources are comprised of all model blocks with gold-equivalent values greater than or equal to 0.30 g/t that lie within
an optimized pit and below the as-mined surface.
3 The effective date of the mineral resource estimate is October 1, 2017.
4 Rounding may result in apparent discrepancies between tonnes, grade, and contained metal content.
5 The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by geology, environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation, soc io-
political, marketing or other relevant issues.
6 Drill intercept lengths only are reported in the tabulations; it is estimated that true width will be approximately 60% or less of
the reported drill intercept length.
