Integra's DeLamar mine plan accepted by BLM

Executive Summary

• The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has determined Integra Resources Corp.’s updated Mine Plan of Operations (MPO) for the DeLamar project meets all regulatory content requirements, marking a critical permitting milestone.
• The revised MPO incorporates agency comments, prioritizes disturbance‑free ground, leverages processing capacity at the Florida Canyon mine, and supports an upcoming feasibility study expected in Q4 2025.
• Integra has entered into a long‑term relationship agreement with the Shoshone‑Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, reinforcing community partnership as the project moves toward NEPA environmental review (NOI and EIS).

Key Details

• Regulatory Acceptance: BLM’s “administrative completeness” determination confirms the MPO satisfies CFR Title 43 Subpart 3809 requirements.
• Project Refinements:
• Addresses BLM comments; relocates select mine features to minimize surface‑water impacts.
• Uses Florida Canyon mine processing capacity to lower DeLamar power demand.
• Updates incorporated into a continuing feasibility study slated for release Q4 2025.
• Next Regulatory Steps:
• BLM will publish a Notice of Intent (NOI) in the Federal Register, initiating the formal NEPA Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process.

• Groundwater point‑of‑compliance permit.
