Integra Gold Intersects 93.02 g/t Gold Over 3.7 m

31.03.2016  |  Marketwired
Incl. 687.7 g/t Over 0.5 m) and 47.10 g/t Gold Over 2.8 m (Incl. 141.9 g/t Over 0.7 m) in Near-Surface C2 Structure at the Triangle Deposit

Highlights - Press Release:

  • Drilling of near surface C1 and C2 structures within the Triangle Deposit continues to both confirm continuity and extend the known limits of the high grade gold bearing structures
  • 8 drill rigs currently active on the Lamaque Gold Project
  • Results announced today are from 10,469 meters ("m") of recent drilling; assays are currently pending from an additional 52,500 m of diamond drilling, representing 140 drill holes


VANCOUVER, March 31, 2016 - Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ICG) (OTCQX: ICGQF), ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a fourth round of assay results from its fall 2015/winter 2016 drill program on the Triangle Deposit ("Triangle") on the Lamaque South Gold Project ("Lamaque") located in Val-d'Or, Québec.

"The bulk of the Triangle mineralization is hosted within a series of sub-parallel, steeply-dipping, stacked C type structures which demonstrate a high degree of periodicity and continuity. We are encouraged to see today's results showing strong continuity of gold mineralization within the upper structures where we plan on initiating underground exploration later this year. We are also encouraged to see initial results from the deeper C5 structure which indicate ample room for growth of the Triangle gold resource at depth," commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong.  "We are still awaiting results from an additional 52,000 m of drilling, including a number of deeper holes which were designed to test the extent of gold mineralization between 1,000 m and 1,500 m vertical depth, where additional C type structures were intersected in late 2015."

Infill Drilling Continues to Show Upside of C1 and C2 Structures

Results disclosed today are primarily from infill drilling completed on the C1 and C2 structures, which host the bulk of the gold mineralization on the uppermost part of Triangle. These results are significant as high grade gold mineralization continues to be identified at relatively shallow depths (above 350 m vertical).  Results announced today both confirm the continuity of these upper zones as well as show the potential for near-surface lateral resource expansion along strike.

Drilling conducted since September 2015 at Triangle has focused on widely spaced step-out and extensional drilling of the C4/C5/C6 structures and on infill drilling within selected areas of the C1 and C2 structures. Characteristic geological host units and alteration assemblages associated with gold bearing veins present within the structures were observed in most drill holes, similar to those reported in previous Company disclosures. Current drill results continue to demonstrate the validity of the geological model and the predictive nature of the high grade gold bearing vein structures.

Intercepts disclosed today include (all reported thicknesses are a measurement of downhole widths):

  • 93.02 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 3.7 m in hole TM-15-076 (incl. 687.70 g/t Au over 0.5 m; average 4.72 g/t Au when capped at 34.3 g/t) in the C2 structure;
  • 47.10 g/t Au over 2.8 m in hole TM-15-082 (incl. 141.92 g/t Au over 0.7 m; average 19.92 g/t Au when capped at 34.3 g/t) in C2 structure; and
  • 25.88 g/t Au over 2.2 m in hole TM-16-104C (average 16.23 g/t Au when capped at 34.3 g/t Au) in C1 structure.

Results from holes TM-16-104, TM-16-104B, and TM-16-104C (provided in table below), which were drilled a few meters apart in the C1 structure, provide an initial sense of grade variability to be expected at Triangle. While reported downhole thicknesses of the zone remain fairly close, grades of the intercepts vary from 3.75, 4.53, and 25.88 g/t Au respectively; this grade variation is similar those observed historically at the Sigma and Lamaque mines.

Step-Out Drilling on C5 Shows Room for Growth, Results from C4 Drilling Pending

Drilling conducted on the C5 mineralized structure, located approximately 150 m structurally below the C4 structure itself, continues to confirm the continuity of gold mineralization at depth. The intercepts provided below are from depths of 805 m and 665 m respectively. The new intercepts include:

  • 8.47 g/t Au over 2.3 m in hole TM-15-050; and
  • 5.25 g/t Au over 4.9 m in hole TM-15-082.

High Grade Mineralization Continues to be Identified between Known Structures

In addition to the intercepts reported above, select narrow high grade, but as-of-yet un-interpreted, gold bearing intercepts were reported in hole TM-15-082 and other drill holes, demonstrating the possibility for additional C or C-Flat structures between the well-defined C1 to C6 structures themselves.  Uncut intercepts in drill hole TM-15-082 include (down-hole widths):

  • 124.23 g/t Au over 1.2 m,
  • 77.66 g/t Au over 0.50 m, and
  • 11.34 g/t Au over 2.5 m.

2015/2016 Exploration Summary

A total of 93,592 m in 203 holes was completed at Lamaque South in 2015, of which 59,753 m in 104 holes was conducted at Triangle. In 2016 a total of 50,900 m in 139 holes have thus far been completed at Triangle. Drilling is ongoing at Lamaque South with 8 drill rigs currently in operation. The results announced today are from 15 drill holes representing 10,469 m. As of March 25th, drill results are still pending from an additional 140 drill holes representing 52,460 m of core, including 9,350 m of drilling in 12 drill holes at the No. 4 Plug and exploration drilling conducted at different targets on the property. Results from ongoing infill and extensional drilling at Triangle will be disclosed during the year as they become available.

2016 Drilling Program

The Company anticipates drilling approximately 90,000 m in 2016 with the majority of this drilling aimed at defining and expanding the gold resource at Triangle. The bulk of the drill program will be completed during the winter months, from January to May. Spring breakup is anticipated to commence soon; however, following the construction of new access roads, the Company expects it will be able to continue drilling throughout the spring with 3 to 4 drill rigs in operation. Integra's planned 2016 drill campaign remains one of the largest drill programs currently underway in the Canadian mining industry.

The ongoing winter drill program includes exploration, extensional and definition drilling on key targets such as Triangle and the No. 4 Plug gold deposits. The program will also include exploration drilling of promising new targets outlined by geophysical surveys, geological mapping, surface sampling and reconnaissance drilling conducted in 2015; additional information on these new targets will be provided by the Company in subsequent news releases this year.

Project and Company Profile

Integra Gold is a junior gold exploration company advancing projects in Val-d'Or, Québec, one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world. The Company's primary focus is its high grade Lamaque South project. In 2014, Integra completed the accretive acquisition of the Sigma Mill and Mine Complex, a fully permitted 2,200 ton per day mill and tailings facility. With major federal and provincial permits in place, existing infrastructure and exploration potential, this acquisition removed major costs and shortened timelines typically associated with mine projects. With a current market capitalization of $185 million, Integra has raised over $75 million since 2013 despite depressed gold prices. In February 2016, Eldorado Gold Corp. completed a strategic investment in Integra, acquiring 15% of the outstanding common shares. Integra was recently named to the TSX Venture top 50 performers in 2015 and the OTCQX Best 50 award for 2015.
