Integra Resources Corp. (NYSE American: ITRG) announced a 50,000-meter drilling program across its Nevada and Idaho portfolio, representing the company's largest exploration campaign to date.

The program allocates 42,500 meters to the Florida Canyon Mine in Nevada, focusing on near-mine oxide gold targets and the Standard Mine area. An additional 5,500 meters will target development and resource conversion drilling at the Nevada North Project's Wildcat Deposit, while 2,500 meters of advanced engineering drilling is planned for the DeLamar Gold-Silver Project in Idaho.

At Florida Canyon, the drilling will concentrate on three areas: underexplored extensions of existing gold mineralization, historical backfill and waste material at the Standard Mine area located 6 kilometers south of Florida Canyon, and previously undrilled exploration targets identified through artificial intelligence-assisted targeting.

The Nevada North drilling program awaits approval of the Exploration Plan of Operations, expected in the second quarter of 2026. The program includes approximately 500 meters of core drilling for metallurgical and geotechnical testing, plus 5,000 meters of resource conversion drilling to support a pre-feasibility study targeted for early 2027.

At DeLamar, drilling will focus on collecting metallurgical and geotechnical data for detailed engineering work in preparation for future project development.

"This is high-return, infrastructure-led drilling," said George Salamis, President, CEO and Director. "Much of the drilling will be focused on targets located near existing mining infrastructure, where success can be rapidly converted into production."

Drilling at Florida Canyon has commenced and is expected to conclude in the fourth quarter of 2026, with initial results anticipated during summer 2026. The program aims to support an updated Florida Canyon feasibility study and technical report expected in the third quarter of 2026.
