George Salamis, Integra’s President & CEO,
stated, “We are proud of Integra’s substantial first efforts to
disclose our practices and performance in ESG in a formal context.
We welcome this opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of our
team who performed admirably in the midst of a pandemic, putting
the health and safety of our employees and our host communities
first, all the while continuing to responsibly advance the DeLamar
Project in an assertive manner on the exploration and development
fronts.”
“Our team is excited by the many prospective
ideas we are evaluating to design an economically robust,
responsible, and resilient future operation,” commented Mark
Stockton, VP of Corporate Affairs & Sustainability. “Committing
to ESG early on has proven itself to reveal many opportunities for
our growing Company. This is apparent in the culture we are
creating and the support we are experiencing from the community,
and also in areas such as the engineering solutions in greenhouse
gas emission reduction strategies being evaluated for our upcoming
Pre-feasibility Study. We are seeing that the dividends of our ESG
program are not only socially and environmentally beneficial, but
interestingly some of the most exciting options are potentially
very economic as well.”

prospects. These forward-looking statements, and any assumptions
upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our
current judgment regarding the direction of our business.
Management believes that these assumptions are reasonable.
Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such
factors include, among others: risks related to the speculative
nature of the Company’s business; the Company’s formative stage of
development; the Company’s financial position; possible variations
in mineralization, grade or recovery rates; actual results of
current exploration activities; actual results of reclamation
activities; conclusions of future economic evaluations; business
integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic
