Press Release Highlights

- ICG continues to confirm upside resource potential with the majority of the reported high grade intercepts coming from the deeper sections of the Triangle Zones, previously included in the PEA as inferred resources, or even outside the resource envelops, extending known mineralization at depth and laterally
- Some of the intercepts disclosed today represent the widest and highest metal-factor intercepts ever reported for the Triangle Zone
- Other significant intersections include:
- TM-14-15 with 10.39 grams/tonne gold (g/t Au) Au over 4.0 meters (m)
- TM-14-32 with 23.34 g/t Au over 1.0 m
- TM-14-33 with 15.88 g/t Au over 4.0 m
- TM-14-43 with 13.73 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 25.33 g/t Au over 2.0 m, and 14.49 g/t Au over 2.0 m

VANCOUVER, BC: Integra Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional results from its winter 2014 Triangle Zone definition and extension drill program at the Lamaque Gold Project (Lamaque) located in Val-dOr, Québec.

The majority of the results today are from mineralization intersected between vertical depths of 400 to 650 m. Until the 2014 program only a few drill holes were drilled in these portions of the Triangle zone intrusive host rock, sections which were characterized for most part as inferred resource for the recently disclosed PEA results. The results today are especially significant because of the length of the high grade zones, up to 13 m.

The Company has now completed its winter 2014 Triangle zone drilling program with 24,820 m in 65 drill holes completed; that drilling aimed at completing closer spaced drilling at 35 to 50 m centers in the core of the Triangle deposits while successfully testing lateral extensions of the know Triangle zones. The Triangle Zone, located in the southern part of the Lamaque project, contains the Companys highest grade indicated resource. The results announced today are from 10 of the 65 holes drilled, representing 4,725 m of the 2014 program. Integra has now released 33 holes out of a total of 65 drilled, representing a total of 14,325 m.

The attached idealized section illustrates the proximity of these holes to existing resources, as well as where these intersections are compared to other recent discoveries outside the Companys current resource model.

We are highly encouraged by these recent results, our third set from our winter drilling program completed at Triangle in 2014. They definitively confirm our expectations regarding continuity, at depth and laterally, of the individual gold bearing zones at Triangle. In addition, the thicknesses of some of these recent intercepts, which basically represent true width, are well above our average thickness for Triangle and represent some of the thickest and highest grade intercepts ever reported at the Triangle Zone, commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong. These results continue to demonstrate both the near-term potential to materially grow the resource base at Lamaque as well as highlighting the Companys track-record of converting inferred resources to the indicated category. With over half of the results from the recently completed program having been received and the balance of the assays pending, further drill result updates will continue for the next few months. Once these results are all received, compiled and modelled, shareholders should expect to see a revised resource estimate on the Lamaque Project in the second half of this year. Over 57,000 meters of additional infill and extension drilling has been completed at the Lamaque Project since the cut-off date for the resource estimates used in the PEA, further demonstrating the clear potential to enhance the resource base at Lamaque to be used in the upcoming pre-feasibility study.

Results and Interim Conclusions for the 2014 Triangle Zone Drill Program

- Substantial mineralization within the diorite intrusive host rocks exists between the 400 m and 650 m vertical level as witnessed by the results announced today of some of the widest high grade zones ever intersected on the project. The 650 m limit does not represent the limit of gold mineralization at Triangle as deeper high grade intercepts down to 850 m vertical have been disclosed previously at Triangle (see press release dated November 18, 2013); the 650 m vertical it is the vertical limit imposed on the Triangle resource that were used in the PEA; the lower vertical limits of resource to be used in future economic evaluation may vary.

- Mineralization also extends south of the usually intrusively hosted Triangle Zones, into the pyroclastic volcanics, with previously reported intersections of 13.9 g/t Au over 7.0 m in hole TM-13-07 and 13.2 g/t Au over 2.0 m in hole TM-13-09A (see press releases dated November 18, 2013 and January 23, 2014); these particular intercepts were respectively 175 m and 150 m south of the Triangle Zone resource used for the PEA and at a vertical depth of 225 m. The ground in between this discovery and the existing resource was drill tested during the 2014 winter program with, among others, an intersection 50 m south of the Triangle Zone resource returning 23.0 g/t Au over 5.0 meters in hole TM-14-03A (see press release dated March 25, 2014). Additional assays are pending.

- Confirmation of the continuity of the Triangle Companys geological model, both internally and laterally, with the 2014 infill and extension drill holes intersecting gold mineralized zones within meters of where the model predicted they would be. This gives further confidence in the geology model used to calculate mineral resources as well as to the mine plan put forth in the Lamaque Project Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

- Further credibility in the use of modern-day geophysics, more specifically magnetic response, to identify potentially gold bearing dioritic intrusive plugs, the main host rock of a number of the gold deposits in the immediate vicinity; including the Lamaque Main Plug (historical production of over 3.7M Au ounces), and our Plug No. 4, Plug No. 5, Triangle, and Parallel zones. Numerous high magnetic targets remained untested on the Lamaque properties with plan being drawn to drill test some of those targets in 2014 and 2015.

Triangle Definition and Extension Drilling Program

The Triangle Zone winter drill program had three principal objectives:

1) Reduce the drill spacing for the upper portion of the known Triangle deposit between surface to 300 m vertical depth to 25 to 50 m centers;

2) Assess the depth extensions of Triangle mineralization between 300 and 650 m vertical at 50 to 75 m drill centers. With most of the geological resource below the 450 m vertical falling into the inferred resource category the drilling was also aiming at improving the resource category to depth of 650 m vertical.

3) Test the extensions and continuity of the new Triangle mineralization reported in volcanics to up to 175 m south of the known resources, potentially increasing both inferred and indicated resources.

2014 results disclosed previously and those presented above are strongly supporting our interpretation and predictions.

Prior to the recent drilling at Triangle, drill hole were generally at 50 to 75 m intervals. Recent drilling conducted at the Triangle Zone has reduced the overall drill spacing down to approximately 35 to 50 m centers above the 650 m vertical level, and thereby increasing the level of confidence in the geological and structural model that supports past resource estimates. This drilling was also aimed at confirming the continuity of the gold bearing zones interpreted in the 2013 resource model while at the same time targeting a significant conversion in the inferred resources to a measured and indicated category.

Based on assay results available to date this program has been successful in proving continuity and extensions of known zones as well as identified a number of new targets. Considering the positive results of the winter program, the Company will be pushing forward on an updated global resource estimate, which it anticipates will be completed in the second half of 2014.

As mentioned above, the 2014 program also tested for extensions of the Triangle Zone, extending laterally hundreds of meters away from the usual dioritic intrusive host rock itself, with the aim of increasing the Companys near surface resource base. In 2013 two peripheral holes drilled approximately 300 m at surface from the Triangle Zone intersected high grade mineralization 150 m and 175 m down-dip from the Triangle resource limit, at a vertical depth of approximately 225 m. These same holes entered the Triangle Zone intrusive host rock at a depth of approximately 650 m and confirmed the host rock, along with significant mineralization, continued to a depth of over 1,000 m vertical.

Although this deep drilling intersected multiple zones of high grade gold mineralization the Company has opted to focus its efforts on near surface resource expansion, above 650 m vertical, to further increase the level of confidence in the resource estimate that was used for its PEA released in March, 2014, and that will be used for the upcoming pre-feasibility. The 2014 program did not further test mineralization below 650 m vertical. Therefore considerable upside to the Triangle Zone resource remains in this lower section. Gold deposits with similar geological characteristics in the immediate area (within 2 km), such as the neighbouring Lamaque and Sigma Mines, have profitably been mined down to depths of over 1,000 and 2,000 m respectively, and in the case of the Lamaque Mine in intrusive host rock similar to the Triangle zone host rock.

Planned drilling at the Lamaque Project for the balance of 2014 has been increased to a minimum of 45,000 m. This includes the recently completed 25,000 m program at the Triangle Zone.

Lamaque Project New Discoveries Potential

Potential for further discoveries through the use of modern geophysics, along with further compilation of historical data, exists as Integra is the first company to consolidate this highly prospective land package which for over 80 years has had fragmented under multiple claim ownerships. The Triangle Zone, only 2km from over 9 million ounces of historic production by Teck and Placer Dome, was discovered through the use of geophysics. The intrusive Plug targets contain significant amounts of magnetite and therefore have a very strong magnetic signature. The ground above the Triangle Zone, and for most of the terrain at out Lamaque project, is swampy with little outcrop, meaning there was no much for prospectors to see from surface. The Sigma and Lamaque mines were discovered because both of the ore bodies day-lighted or came to surface. The Company has the data from a modern-day 2006 magnetic airborne geophysical survey which will be used to guide future new deposits exploration programs.

Project and Company Profile

Integras Lamaque gold project is located in the heart of the Val-dOr gold camp in the Province of Québec, Canada, approximately 550 km northwest of Montréal. Québec is rated one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Infrastructure, human resources and mining expertise are readily available.

The Companys primary objective is to continue to prove up additional resources while advancing the existing resource towards production. The project is divided into three main clusters of gold deposits, the North, South and West Cluster. The North Cluster consists of the Parallel, Fortune, No. 5 Plug, and No. 3 Mine deposits and is located approximately 1 km northwest from the South Cluster, which includes the No. 4 Plug and Triangle deposits. The Sixteen Zone and No. 6 Vein form the West Cluster.

The recently disclosed resource for Lamaque, dated January 28, 2014 and available on SEDAR (see March 13, 2014 press release), is summarized in the tables below. The January 2014 resource does not include over 57,000 m of new drilling, including the recent 25,000 m winter program at Triangle, completed at Lamaque since the close-database date of resource used in the PEA (April 24, 2013). In addition to the winter 2014 program at Triangle, the additional drilling include 4,800 m at Mine No. 3, 4,700 m at Plug No. 5 (these two zones are not in our Lamaque resource base yet), 7,000 m at South Triangle, 13,000 m at Parallel, and 2,500 m at Fortune.
