The company is advancing three flagship oxide heap leach projects including the past-producing DeLamar Project in southwest Idaho and the Wildcat and Mountain View Projects in western Nevada. Integra also has a portfolio of high-potential early-stage exploration projects across Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. The company's long-term vision is to become a prominent mid-tier gold and silver producer in the United States.Jason Kosec, CEO of Integra Resources, discusses the company's gold and silver projects in Idaho and Nevada. Integra is focused on near-surface, heap-leachable ounces in the Great Basin region. With over 1.5 million indicated ounces and 310 million in projected value from just 5 acres drilled so far, Integra's DeLamar Project in Idaho is starting to demonstrate significant potential scale and margins.The recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for DeLamar delivered robust results and blew out market expectations, despite the current difficult market conditions. The project benefits from a high indicated resource base (80%), strong recoveries (87-90%), and low strip ratio (0.2:1). Next steps are an updated resource by year-end, submission of the mine plan in Dec 2023, and a feasibility study in late 2024. Major exploration is also planned in 2023 to continue growing the resource.At the War Eagle Project in Nevada, drilling has been limited to just 5 acres but has already outlined 1.5 million ounces indicated. The project shows low strip ratios similar to DeLamar, meaning it is a simple, low-cost earth moving and crushing operation. Findings so far point to strong conversion rates, metallurgy and geotechnics. Integra is focused on further derisking the project next year while aggressively expanding the...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
