NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Dec. 31, 2013) - Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the second tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"). A total of $4,581,260 has been raised in the first two tranches. Subject to regulatory approval, the Company plans to increase the total offering to $5,000,000. The third and final tranche of the Offering is scheduled to close on or before January 31, 2014 and is subject to certain conditions, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In the second tranche the Company issued 769,230 Quebec flow through shares (the "Quebec FT Shares"), 1,250,000 National flow through shares (the "National FT Shares") and 288,000 non-flow through units (the "NFT Units") for a total of 2,307,230 shares or units and gross proceeds of $498,960. All tranche two shares are subject to a statutory four month hold period which expires on May 1, 2014.

Including the first tranche, total FT Shares issued to date are 17,275,769 and total NFT Units issued are 1,400,350, for total gross proceeds of $4,581,259. Total finder's fees payable to date are $296,531 in cash and 1,278,032 in compensation options.

The Offering consists of FT Shares and NFT Units on a best efforts basis at a price of $0.20 per National FT Share, $0.26 per Quebec FT Share and $0.17 per NFT Unit. Each Quebec or National FT Share consists of one flow through common share and no warrant. Each NFT Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant "NFT Warrant." Each whole NFT Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.26 for 18 months following completion of the Offering. Should the Company's Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at a weighted average price of greater than $0.45 for any ten consecutive trading day period the Company may, on written notice to the holders of the Warrants, reduce the exercise period of the Warrants to a date that is not less than 30 days from the date of the notice.

The proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will qualify as Canadian and/or Quebec exploration expenses which will be renounced to investors no later than December 31, 2013. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering primarily for expenditures on the Company's Lamaque property as well as for general working capital.
