BLM begins environmental review for Integra’s DeLamar project

VANCOUVER, BC - Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV:ITR) (NYSE American:ITRG) announced today that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has published a Notice of Intent in the Federal Register to begin the National Environmental Policy Act review process for the DeLamar Project in Idaho.

The publication initiates preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement and starts a 30-day public comment period. The BLM is expected to publish the final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision in the second half of 2027, according to a press release statement from the company.

The DeLamar Project is included in the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council’s FAST-41 Transparency Projects Program. Based on the Federal Permitting Dashboard, the federal permitting process anticipates a 15-month NEPA process for DeLamar, with completion targeted for the third quarter of 2027.

George Salamis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Integra, stated the achievement reflects more than seven years of technical work and environmental baseline studies. Since 2021, the company has engaged with over 49,000 stakeholders and held more than 1,400 events, tours, and open houses.The permitting milestone comes as Integra’s stock has delivered a 65% return over the past year, with shares currently trading at $2.68 and a market capitalization of $543 million. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears undervalued relative to its Fair Value, with the company maintaining a "GREAT" financial health score. An InvestingPro Tip highlights that Integra holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, positioning it well for project development.

The FAST-41 program was established under Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act in 2015. The Permitting Council consists of representatives from 13 federal agencies, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality.

Integra operates the Florida Canyon Mine in Nevada and is developing the DeLamar Project in southwestern Idaho and the Nevada North Project in western Nevada. The DeLamar Project is a past-producing site planned as a heap leach operation for gold and silver production.

In other recent news, Integra Resources reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2026, with significant improvements in both revenue and profitability. The company achieved a substantial year-over-year increase in its operating profit margin, largely due to higher realized gold prices. Additionally, Integra Resources announced the appointment of three executives to its leadership team. Scott Trebilcock joined as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, bringing over 30 years of experience in process engineering and mining.

In another development, the company will grant 517,103 common shares valued at $1.5 million to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes. This grant is part of an agreement related to the DeLamar Project and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from the NYSE American.
