RELATED QUOTES

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -02/02/12)- Integra Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ICG.V - News) -

 

--  OTHER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE 88.5 G/T OVER ONE METER AND 82.3 G/T OVER ONE
    METER
--  CONTINUITY OF HIGH GRADE MINERALIZATION IDENTIFIED THROUGHOUT PARALLEL
    ZONE
--  31 DRILL HOLES COMPLETED WITH ADDITIONAL ASSAYS PENDING
--  UPDATED RESOURCE ESTIMATE PENDING
--  PRIMARY FOCUS OF PARALLEL ZONE DRILLING TO TEST OPEN PIT POTENTIAL

Integra Gold Corp. (The "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the thirty one (31) hole second phase Parallel Zone drill program announced on October 17, 2011, on the Lamaque Gold Project located in Val d'Or, Quebec. This phase complements previous drilling with results reported January 13, 2011, and where significant gold mineralization was intersected on the Parallel Vein.

Highlights of assay results received to date include:

 

--  PV-11-06: 44.50 g/t gold over 1 meter ;
--  PV-11-13: 32.90 g/t gold over 1 meter;
--  PV-11-13: 26.89 g/t gold over 2 meters (including 50.60 g/t gold over 1
    meter);
--  PV-11-19: 29.52 g/t gold over 3 meters (including 82.3 g/t over 1
    meter);
--  PV-11-22: 29.94 g/t gold over 3 meters (including 88.5 g/t over 1
    meter);
--  PV-11-24: 19.2 g/t gold over 10 meters

Previously announced highlights from first phase drilling include:

 

--  54.31 g/t gold over 6 meters (News Release January 13, 2011);
--  16.63 g/t gold over 5 meters (News Release January 13, 2011);
--  14.99 g/t gold over 8.5 meters (News Release January 13, 2011)

"Recent and ongoing exploration on the Lamaque property continues to produce results beyond our expectations. The ten meter intersection of 19.2 grams per tonne gold represents one of the highest values in grade and length ever intersected by the Company," comments Company President, John de Jong. "In addition to these results, two holes intersected values in excess of 80 grams per tonne over one meter, one at 44 meters on hole #19 and at 505 meters on hole #22. We look forward to receiving the assays of the remaining holes and adding those results to an updated resource estimate for this zone."

PARALLEL ZONE

The Company's most recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate released in June, 2011 reported the following results.

 

Tonnes                   Grade       Ounces (troy)       Category
-----------------------------------------------------------------
659,959            4.80 g/t Au             101,794      Indicated
-----------------------------------------------------------------
211,484            1.72 g/t Au              11,681       Inferred
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Parallel Zone consists of several sub-vertical and sub-parallel "en echelon" pinch and swell veins and sub- horizontal vein clusters which are hosted within a narrow tabular shear Zone that cross-cuts all the lithological units. The main host rock units consist of volcano sedimentary rock units intermediate to mafic composition which is intruded by younger dioritic sills and dykes.

The significant zones of gold mineralization known on the Property comprise various simple vein structures, vein complexes and stockwork zones within E-W and subvertical shearing zones and fractures.

The majority of mineralization is hosted within fine to medium grained diorite with generally 1 to 3% of disseminated pyrite, locally up to 7% and some zones are within intermediate to mafic volcanics with 1 to 3 % of disseminated pyrite.

Best mineralized zones show free visible gold (e.g. DDH PV-11-22 and the PV-11-24) with a good percentage of sulphide (5 to 20% disseminated pyrite and 2 to 8% chalcopyrite) that are associated to quartz-carbonate- tourmaline-chlorite veins and veinlets with 5 to 20% of pyrite and 2 to 8% of chalcopyrite. All mineralized zones intercept several quartz-carbonate-chlorite veins and veinlets of centimetric to metric widths (2, 34, 44, 66, 97, 158, 200 to 300 cm).

Company and Gold Project Location

Integra's Lamaque Gold Project is located in the Val-d'Or gold camp in the Province of Quebec, Canada, which is rated one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Infrastructure, human resources and mining expertise are readily accessible.

The Company's shares are tightly held by a number of private investors, institutions and a major gold producer, Shandong Gold International Mining Ltd. The Company's focus is to advance gold zones demonstrating potential for open pit mining and where gold resources can be added quickly to the reported gold resource of 2,335,530 metric tons, average grade 6.91 g/t gold for 518,643 ounces Troy gold inferred and 800,799 metric tons, average grade 6.33 g/t for 162,962 ounces Troy gold indicated.

The gold project shares its northeastern border with the producing Sigma Mine which has produced 4.7 million ounces of gold to date and has reported significant gold resources and reserves. On its northwest border the Main Plug produced the majority of its 4.7 million ounces of gold for the historic Lamaque Mine. The Agnico-Eagle Goldex Mine, located approximately 6 kilometers west, reported reserves of 3.4 million gold ounces (mine closed recently due to engineering difficulties), and directly west of Goldex is the producing Osisko Mine reporting reserves of 10.71 million ounces of gold.

The Lamaque Property is located about 550 km northwest of Montreal, Quebec. The property consists of four (4) contiguous mining concessions and twenty (20) mining claims for a total of 1,459 hectares, owned 100% by Integra.

QUALITY ASSURANCE - QUALITY CONTROL

Thorough quality assurance and quality control program (QA/QC) protocol was utilized on the project including duplicate, blank and standard samples for all the holes. The core samples were respectively submitted directly to ALS Laboratory Group and Bourlamaque Labs in Val-d'Or for preparation and analysis. Analysis was conducted on 1 assay ton samples. Analysis of gold was by fire assay, with a gravimetric finish on samples exceeding 5 g/t gold. The gravimetric assay results were used for the reported composite intervals. The Lamaque project exploration is under the direct supervision of Alain Beauregard, P.Geol. of Geologica Inc., an independent qualified person as designated by National Instrument 43-101, and Daniel Gaudreault, ing. Geol., an independent qualified person as designated by National Instrument 43-101, who has reviewed the technical content of this release.
