Integra Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ICG) (Integra or the "Company") is
pleased to announce, subject to regulatory approval, that the
Company has entered into an option with Globex Mining
Enterprises Inc. to acquire a

The Donald Property, adjacent and contiguous to the East of the Lamaque Gold Project, is located between the Lamaque and MacGregor Property and consists of seven (7) mining claims for a total of 112 hectares. It was acquired by the Company in order to permit follow-up exploration work on the eastern lateral extension of the Triangle Zone and its host tonalite intrusive sill. It is strategically located 200 meters east of the Triangle Zone; approximately 400 meters southeast of the No. 4 Plug (315,975 inferred gold ounces) and some 450 meters south of the old Aumaque Mine (located east of the Lamaque property). The mineralization in the Aumaque Mine was found to be "consistent in style with that found in the Sigma- Lamaque Complex, a non-NI 43-101 compliant historical resource of 67,000 gold ounces [57,000 ounces (8.57 g/t) and 17,000 ounces (6.03 g/t)] was estimated."

"Purchasing this property is part of Integra's intentional
plan to secure land positions directly to the east of the #4
Plug and the Triangle Zone, an area of the Lamaque Gold
Project that shows the greatest potential for hosting gold,"
comments Company President and CEO, John de Jong. "The #4
Plug, containing almost half of the reported gold ounces, and
the Triangle Zone with its significant gold grades, are now
fully open for exploration to the east. Individual drill
results on the Donald Property, with grades of 20.20 g/t Au
over
.76 meters, are consistent with individual drill results on
the Triangle Zone and #4 Plug. All in all, obtaining this
property now provides Integra unfettered ability to expand
exploration and development to the east without concerns of
encroaching claim boundaries."
Similar to the recently acquired MacGregor Property, the
geology mainly consists of East-West striking felsic to mafic
volcano-sedimentary rock units (rhyolites, andesites, basalts
and pyroclastics) and local tonalitic intrusive sills and
plugs that are known to host gold mineralization when altered
and fractured.
Past exploration drilling on the Donald Property revealed the
following significant intersections:
Diamond Drill Hole | Grade (Grams per Ton | Length |
No. 1005 | 20.20 g/t | .76 meters |
6.86 g/t | 1.07 meters |
The gold mineralization is associated with
quartz-tourmaline-carbonate-pyrite veins and shears.
Exploration work and follow-up drilling will be proposed as
soon as data validation and geo-scientific compilation is
completed.
Consideration for the property is $175,000 and 250,000
shares, all payable over a period of four years. Globex is
entitled to a 3% Gross Metal Royalty. The Company has the
right to purchase one-third (1%) of this royalty for $750,000
for a period of five years from the date of exercise of the
option.
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 estimate as noted in the news release
dated November 16, 2011, posted on Sedar and the Company
website.
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
Montréal, 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
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, who has reviewed the technical content of
this release.
