Strategic Rationale for Transaction

• Immediate Gold Production & Cash Flow: The Transaction will establish Integra as a newly formed junior gold-silver producer, providing investors immediate exposure to the strong metal price environment through Florida Canyon.

• • Florida Canyon:

• • • Florida Canyon is a proven open-pit mining operation located in Nevada, with solid operating performance in recent years due to enhancements to personnel and operational practices.

    • Production in 2023 of ~71kozs AuEq at net cash costs and AISC of US$1,368/oz and US$1,654/oz, respectively.⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾

    • The 2024 NI 43-101 Technical Report for Florida Canyon demonstrated a 7 year mine life (not including three years of residual leaching), producing an average of ~70kozs AuEq per annum, generating an after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") 5% of US$128 million (using Base Case gold of US$2,200/oz for 2024, US$2,150/oz for 2025/2026 and US$1,900/oz thereafter).⁽¹⁾

• Robust Pipeline to Support Industry Leading Growth: Complementary portfolio of robust, strategically sequenced, oxide heap leach projects, creating clear a path to growing production and becoming a mid-tier precious metals producer.

• • DeLamar:

• • • DeLamar is an advanced gold-silver heap leach project located in southwestern Idaho. A Mine Plan of Operations has been submitted and deemed complete by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in June 2024. DeLamar is one of the few gold-silver development projects in the Western U.S. that will be actively advanced through the National Environmental Protection Agency ("NEPA") mine permitting process, demonstrating the significant scarcity value of the project.

    • The 2022 Pre-feasibility Study ("PFS") for DeLamar demonstrated an 8-year mine life, producing an average of 136kozs AuEq per annum, generating an after-tax NPV5% of US$470M and Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 33% (using US$2,000/oz Au and US$23/oz Ag).⁽²⁾

• • • • The 2022 PFS study mine plan excludes ~500kozs AuEq of Measured & Indicated ("M&I") resources found in historic stockpiles. The stockpiles sit at surface and were mined by previous operators. The stockpile resource was published by Integra in 2023. Feasibility Study work is ongoing which will incorporate the stockpiles into a mine plan.⁽²⁾

• • Nevada North:

• • • Nevada North is comprised of the Wildcat and Mountain View deposits, located in northwestern Nevada. The Wildcat deposit is located approximately 40 miles from Florida Canyon.

    • The 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment for Nevada North demonstrated a 13-year mine life, producing an average of 80kozs AuEq per annum, generating an after-tax NPV5% of US$490M and IRR of 37% (using US$2,000/oz Au and US$23/oz Ag)⁽¹⁾. Approximately 80% of the stated mineral resource at Nevada North is within the Indicated category.

    • Drilling is currently underway at the Wildcat Deposit to increase oxide mineralization adjacent to the existing resource while also testing the high-grade breccia target for oxide resource expansion and to gather material for further metallurgical and geotechnical testing.

• Significant Resource Endowment: Combined portfolio of three high-quality oxide heap leach gold-silver projects within the Great Basin with peer leading resource inventory with 5.2 million ounces ("Mozs") Au and 152.5Mozs Ag in the M&I category, and 2.9Mozs Au 17.2Mozs Ag in the Inferred category. Total mineral reserves of 2.0Mozs Au and 51.3Mozs Ag in the Proven and Probable category based on oxide and mixed ore. ^{([1]),([2]),([3])}

• Strong Potential for Regional Synergies: Tangible synergies exist between Florida Canyon and Nevada North, located approximately 40 miles apart, which are expected to drive significant additional long-term value within the Great Basin for all shareholders and stakeholders. Integra will also benefit from a seasoned and experienced team at Florida Canyon as it brings DeLamar and Nevada North into production.

• High Quality Team: The executive team and Board of Directors have a proven track record of success in exploration, project-development and mining operations in the U.S. In addition, the senior leadership team boasts significant project financing, mergers & acquisitions ("M&A"), and capital markets experience.

• Financial Strength: The Company will be strongly positioned to optimize Florida Canyon and advance key milestones at DeLamar and Nevada North – Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("Wheaton") and Beedie Investments Ltd. ("Beedie Capital") partnerships provide line-of-sight to project financing.

• Benefits to Local Communities: The Transaction creates 20+ years of employment for the local workforce at Florida Canyon and brings significant benefits to communities surrounding Integra's key projects in Nevada and Idaho. All key projects are located within driving distance of each other.

Jason Kosec, President and Chief Executive Officer of Integra, stated, "The Transaction between Integra and FCGI is a unique opportunity to combine production and cash flows with two complementary high-quality growth projects in the Great Basin, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Post Transaction Integra will benefit from the currently cash flowing Florida Canyon mine, which provides investors immediate exposure to strong metal prices. DeLamar and Nevada North provide an unmatched growth pipeline that create a pathway to grow Integra from a junior to mid-tier producer in the coming years. As DeLamar is advanced through permitting and toward production, it will greatly benefit from the existing operational and technical capabilities of the team operating Florida Canyon. Moreover, the proximity of Florida Canyon to Nevada North will create a 20+ year mining complex that will benefit from tangible synergies and also deliver significant value to both shareholders and local communities. This Transaction represents a monumental step towards Integra's long-term vision of building an industry leading USA focused mid-tier gold producer."

Audra Walsh, Interim Chief Executive Officer of FCGI, stated, "We are excited to announce the merger of FCGI with Integra, a strategic move that will significantly enhance the combined company's position as a leading US junior gold producer with a strong growth pipeline. This transaction offers FCGI shareholders substantial ongoing ownership in the new company, providing the opportunity to participate in the anticipated future re-rating as DeLamar progresses toward production. The close proximity of Florida Canyon, DeLamar, and Nevada North has the potential to generate substantial synergies, paving the way for accelerated growth and operational efficiencies."

Benefits to Integra Shareholders

• Immediate transition from gold developer to junior gold producer with predictable annual production from a proven heap leach mining operation, providing investors exposure to the strong metal price environment.

• Potential for new oxide discoveries identified at targets along strike at Florida Canyon, which have the potential to significantly extend mine life.

• Existing Florida Canyon team will provide benefits to entire portfolio of projects. Operational and technical expertise from Florida Canyon will be invaluable for engineering, construction, and ramp-up at Delamar. The proximity of Florida Canyon and Nevada North is expected to create tangible synergies for people and equipment as Nevada North is brought online.

• The combined company will benefit from enhanced scale and improved capital markets profile, trading liquidity, and expected reduction to cost of capital which will be crucial for project financing at DeLamar.

• Creates the potential for future index inclusion and the addition of new significant cornerstone investors to join the likes of Wheaton, Beedie Capital, and GMT Capital Corp. ("GMT")

Benefits to FCGI Shareholders

• FCGI shareholders retain meaningful ownership in one of the largest precious metals companies in the Great Basin by mineral endowment.

• Provides diversification from a single asset production company to a multi-asset vehicle with production and two high-quality development projects, creating a long-term operating platform and pathway for growth.

• Florida Canyon workforce will benefit from the addition of nearby development projects with potential for career advancements and longevity. Communities surrounding Florida Canyon will benefit from a larger platform to support expanding mining operations within region.

• Significantly improves the company's capital markets profile with a NYSE American listing and enhanced coverage from the analyst and investor community. In addition, adds a top-tier roster of institutional and strategic investors to support long-term strategy.

• Addition of a top tier management team with extensive experience across exploration, development, and production in the U.S. as well as deep expertise in capital markets and M&A.

Technical Disclosure and Qualified Persons

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release with respect to Integra has been reviewed and approved by Raphael Dutaut, Ph.D., P.Geo., Integra's Vice President Geology & Mining, a "Qualified Person" ("QP") as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The scientific and technical information contained in this news release with respect to FCGI is based on information prepared by or under the supervision of  Terre Lane, Principal Mining Engineer, Global Resource Engineering, a QP as defined by NI 43-101.

Non-IFRS Measures

"Net cash costs" and AISC are non-IFRS measures.  "Net Cash Costs" is a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry but has no standard meaning under IFRS. The Company reports cash cost per ounce on a sales basis. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. This measure, along with sales, are considered to be key indicators of a Company's ability to generate operating profits and cash flow from its mining operations.

Cash cost figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is considered the accepted standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The World Gold Council definition of AISC seeks to extend the definition of cash cost by adding corporate, and site general and administrative costs, reclamation and remediation costs (including accretion and amortization), exploration and study costs (capital and expensed), capitalized stripping costs and sustaining capital expenditures and represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations. AISC excludes income tax payments, interest costs, costs related to business acquisitions and items needed to normalize profits. Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company's cash expenditures. In addition, the calculation of AISC does not include depreciation expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. Therefore, it is not indicative of the Company's overall profitability. For the year ended December 31, 2023, along with comparative periods, the Company reclassified regional general and administrative expenses in Mexico, and accretion expenses previously classified under the corporate group, to each individual mine group. Management believes this better attributes regional general and administrative expenses and accretion expenses and also improves comparability amongst our peer companies.

The Company believes that these measures provide investors with an alternative view to evaluate the performance of the Company.  Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS. Therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Please see the most recent management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for full disclosure on non-IFRS measures.
