VANCOUVER, September 19, 2016 - Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: 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."

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;
• 9.19 g/t Au over 3.3 m;
• 10.96 g/t Au over 3.2 m;
• 8.72 g/t Au over 4.0 m, and;
• 9.84 g/t Au over 4.1 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

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 (<10%) of the resource at the Triangle deposit.

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.

High Grade Mineralization Identified in between C-Type Structures

In addition to the mineralization identified in the primary C structures, high grade gold bearing intercepts continue to be identified in between the well-defined structures, demonstrating the possibility for additional mineralized structures to occur in between the main zones identified. These new mineralized zones represent additional resource upside that will be evaluated during future resource modelling and estimation and through close spaced underground drilling once underground access is granted.

Some the significant results include (all results uncapped):

• 22.81 g/t Au over 1.3 m (TM-16-117A);
• 35.01 g/t Au over 0.5 m (TM-16-118);
• 52.89 g/t Au over 0.5 m (TM-16-132);
• 10.24 g/t Au over 3.3 m (TM-16-133AW01);
• 23.18 g/t Au over 1.0 m (TM-16-144M02);
• 35.31 g/t Au over 2.3 m and 13.06 g/t Au over 1.0 m (TM-16-151).

Lamaque Project Exploration Program Summary

In 2016 a total of 95,400 m in 261 drill holes have thus far been completed at Lamaque South, of which 81,750 m in 232 holes were completed on Triangle. Drilling is ongoing with 5 drill rigs currently in operation. The results announced today are from 42 drill holes (including 19 partial reports) representing 16,950 m. As of September 19, 2016, drill results are still pending from an additional 150 drill holes at Lamaque representing 45,975 m. At Triangle alone there are pending results for 133 drill holes representing 40,400 m. Results will continue to be disclosed regularly as they become available.

Triangle Deposit Summary

The Triangle zone consists of a series of high grade, parallel, steeply to moderately dipping mineralized shear zones ("C" structures) structurally spaced at 125 to 150 m intervals, hosting gold-bearing quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veins, which host the majority of the deposit's gold resources. The C1 and C2 structures occur from surface to a depth of 300 m and 475 m vertical respectively, the C4, C5, C6 structures occur between 320m and 875m vertical, and the recently identified C7 structure is presently known to extend from at least 975 m to 1,150 m vertical. The lateral and down-dip limits of gold mineralization for the deeper C structures (C5, C6 and C7) have yet to be identified and are open for expansion.

Drilling conducted since mid-2015 at Triangle has focused on infill and step-out/extensional drilling within select areas of the C1, C2, C4, C5 and C6 structures, and on deep testing of Triangle below 1,000 m vertical. Characteristic geological host units, structural deformation in the form of shearing and alteration assemblages associated with gold bearing veins are present within the structures observed to date in most drill holes at Triangle. Ongoing results continue to demonstrate the validity of the predictive nature of the geological model and associated high grade gold bearing vein structures.

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.
