Integra Resources Corp. [TSXV-[TSXV-ITR; NYSE-ITRG]reported the 2nd set of drill arises from the 4,597-metre 2023 high-wall geotechnical and metallurgical drill program at the DeLamar task, southwestern Idaho. The outcomes revealed today consist of 20 drill holes representing 2,290 m from the highwall geotechnical and metallurgical drill program which was finished in November 2023.
The core samples from the drill program will be utilized for thorough mineralogical analysis, Crusher Work Index (CWI) screening and extra load leach healing analysis, consisting of bottle roll, permeability and column leach testwork. The metallurgical drill arises from the program will be utilized to establish a sophisticated geo-metallurgical design that will support future financial research studies at the Project.
Geotechnical drilling was likewise finished in the proposed open pits at the Project to additional strengthen the 3D geotechnical design and to offer extra information for the Draft Mine Plan of Operations (MPO), which was sent to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in December 2023.
The current drilling highlights from the Florida Mountain Deposit consist of: DH-FLM-23-MET02 that returned 1.42 g/t gold and 3.36 g/t silver (1.46 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq)) over 134.11 metres, consisting of 103.57 g/t gold and 30.55 g/t silver (103.96 g/t AuEq) over 1.52 metres.
Leaving out the state-of-the-art obstruct, the recurring grade of DH-FLM-23-MET02 is 0.25 g/t Au and 3.05 g/t Ag (0.29 g/t AuEq) over 132.59 m, which is above the cut-off grade of 0.17 g/t AuEq.
DM-FLM-23-MET09 returned 0.30 g/t Au and 17.03 g/t Ag (0.52 g/t AuEq) over 139.90 m, consisting of 1.49 g/t Au and 437.00 g/t Ag (7.11 g/t AuEq) over 1.53 m.
Leaving out the top-quality obstruct, the recurring grade of DH-FLM-23-MET09 is 0.29 g/t Au and 12.39 g/t Ag (0.45 g/t AuEq) over 138.37 m, which is above the cut-off grade of 0.17 g/t AuEq.
DH-FLM-23-MET12 returned 0.35 g/t Au and 2.22 g/t Ag (0.38 g/t AuEq) over 80.47 m. DH-FLM-23-MET15: 0.28 g/t Au and 3.58 g/t Ag (0.32 g/t AuEq) over 189.89 m.
The most recent drilling highlights from the DeLamar Deposit consist of DH-DLM-23-MET23 that returned 0.27 g/t Au and 7.12 g/t Ag (0.36 g/t AuEq) over 84.89 m.
DH-DLM-23-MET24 returned 0.74 g/t Au and 115.94 g/t Ag (2.24 g/t AuEq) over 49.99 m, consisting of 1.47 g/t Au and 263.48 g/t Ag (4.87 g/t AuEq) over 15.24 m.
Omitting the state-of-the-art obstruct, the recurring grade of DH-DLM-23-MET24 is 0.42 g/t Au and 51.23 g/t Ag (1.08 g/t AuEq) over 34.75 m, which is above the cut-off grade of 0.17 g/t AuEq.
DH-DLM-23-MET33 returned 0.27 g/t Au and 24.90 g/t Ag (0.59 g/t AuEq) over 52.73 m. DH-DLM-23-MET38 returned 0.45 g/t Au and 14.33 g/t Ag (0.64 g/t AuEq) over 74.98 m.
Integra’s President, CEO & & Director, Jason Kosec commented: “The drill results revealed today even more show the size, grade, and connection of the mineral resource at DeLamar. The drill program was mainly created to gather product for load leach metallurgical testwork and geotechnical research studies, we continue to obstruct considerable mineralized widths at outstanding grades throughout the Project, exhibiting the robust nature of DeLamar. The arise from this drill program will be utilized to finish a Feasibility Study at DeLamar in the future and to support on-going allowing work at the Project, following the submission of the MPO to the BLM in December 2023.”
The previous producing DeLamar Project, that includes the surrounding DeLamar and Florida Mountain gold and silver deposits, lies in Owyhee County in southwest Idaho. Considering that obtaining the Project in 2017, the business has actually shown substantial resource development and conversion while showing robust financial research studies in its first Preliminary Economic Assessment and Preliminary Feasibility Study. An independent technical report for the DeLamar Project has actually been prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101.
Integra is among the biggest rare-earth elements expedition and advancement business in the Great Basin of the Western USA. Integra is presently concentrated on advancing its’ 2 flagship oxide stack leach jobs: the previous producing DeLamar Project situated in southwestern Idaho and the Nevada North Project, consisted of the Wildcat and Mountain View deposits, situated in northwestern Nevada.
The business likewise holds a portfolio of extremely potential early-stage expedition tasks in Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona.
