VANCOUVER, BC: Integra Gold Corp. (TSX‐V: ICG; OTCQX: ICGQF), ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from its 2016 drill program on the Triangle deposit ("Triangle") situated on the Lamaque South Gold Project ("Lamaque") in Val‐d'Or, Québec. Results continue to support internal gold zone continuity and lateral expansion potential with infill and step out drill holes intersecting significant high grade gold mineralization. Results announced today are from 16,950 m of drilling conducted in 2016 and assays are currently pending from an additional 40,400 m (133 drill holes) of diamond drilling at Triangle.
"We are excited to have one of the best intersections ever drilled at Triangle located near surface and in an area of the deposit we will soon have access to via the exploration ramp now being constructed," commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong. "In addition to the near surface success we are encouraged by the impressive growth potential the C5 structure is now exhibiting with mineralization over meaningful widths discovered in multiple drill holes beyond the limit of the previous resource estimate."
Triangle Drill Results Summary
The following table highlights selected intercepts from this tranche of drill results. Detailed results are presented in the link to the full assay results table below. Individual composites are disclosed as both uncapped and capped (when applicable) with individual values capped at 34.3 g/t Au.

For known mineralized zones, intervals are based on geological observation, i.e. on the amount of quartz veining, a 1.00 g/t gold cut‐off for compositing in intervals outside mineralized zones; individual composites are presented uncap and cap (when applicable) with individual values capped at 34.3 g/t Au; no minimum thickness considered.

Infill Drilling on the C2 Structure Highlights Excellent Internal Zone Continuity with Significant High Grade Gold Mineralization
The C1 and C2 structures host the majority of the gold mineralization in the upper portion of Triangle and are the focus of an extensive infill drilling program conducted at roughly 25 m centers with the objective of proving internal continuity of gold mineralization while, at the same time, being used as a guide for the underground exploration ramp that was initiated in July of this year. Today's results are some of the best to ever be reported at Triangle, in particular for drill hole TM‐16‐152 reporting significant high grade gold mineralization: 70.59 g/t Au over 12.7 m (19.36 g/t Au when capped at 34.3 g/t Au, downhole width, 8.8 m in true thickness, 150 m from surface). Of particular note is that numerous, at times consecutive, 1 m intervals grading above 34.3 g/t Au are reported in this drill hole demonstrating that high grade mineralization is widespread throughout the entire interval, a characteristic that appears to apply to the C type structures.
Other significant intervals reported from the C2 structure include:
10.10 g/t Au over 4.4 m;
All of the above results contribute to demonstrating the lateral continuity of gold mineralization in the C2 structure.
As illustrated in the longitudinal sections for C2 (see link below), results from numerous intercepts in that structure are still pending. Note that true thickness of intervals are indicated on all longitudinal sections and will differ from downhole lengths reported in the drill table.

Infill Drilling at C4 Showing Mineralization Continuity
Infill drilling at C4 also continues to successfully demonstrate mineralization continuity. The results disclosed today report several high grade intercepts demonstrating the potential for the C4 structure to continue to deliver resource potential in deeper parts of the Triangle Deposit (below 450m vertical). To date, C4 is the largest and most continuous of the high‐angle C‐type structures at Triangle.
Results from this zone reported today include: 22.40 g/t Au over 4.0 m (TM‐16‐119M01, 16.59 g/t Au when capped at 34.3 g/t Au, downhole width) and 68.97 g/t Au over 2.2 m (TM‐16‐122, 25.87 g/t Au when capped at 34.3 g/t Au, downhole width) which are respectively located in the center and on the eastern upper end of C4.
As illustrated in the attached vertical longitudinal section of the C4 structure (see link below), additional results are pending from multiple infill and extensional drill holes at various depths ranging from 325 m to 825 m vertical.

The C5 Structure Continues to Expand Laterally
New results from extensional drilling of the C5 structure continue to show potential for lateral extension of the structure. At C5, gold mineralization appears to commence at approximately 500 m vertical and extend to at least 800 m vertical. Today's reported intercepts include 54.43 g/t Au over 3.6 m (TM‐16‐ 118, 11.05 g/t Au when capped at 34.3 g/t Au, downhole width) and 8.42 g/t Au over 4.0 m (TM‐16‐ 119M01, downhole width). These additional high grade gold intersects indicate substantial resource potential upside with C5 currently accounting for only a small portion (
The C5 structure, which has had materially less drilling completed on it compared to the C4 structure, is viewed as a potential area of accelerated growth and will continue to be tested from surface and later from underground utilizing the exploration decline at Triangle.
