07:23 AM EDT, 09/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Integra Resources Corp. ( ITRG ) was at last look trading down 0.8% in US premarket trade Thursday, albeit from near 52 week high levels, after announcing that the updated Mine Plan of Operations for the DeLamar Project has been determined by the United States Bureau of Land Management to have met the content requirements of the United States Code of Federal Regulations.

Among highlights, Integra said the BLM's determination of "administrative completeness" is a "critical step" in permitting DeLamar and considers nearly three years of environmental baseline studies, initial engineering design, and mine plan optimization. Integra's description of mining and reclamation activities proposed for the project will serve as the basis for the BLM's environmental review in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, it added.

George Salamis, President, CEO said: "The acceptance of the updated MPO for DeLamar highlights the quality and scarcity value of the DeLamar Project. Incorporating several years of environmental baseline studies, initial engineering design, and descriptions of mining and reclamation activities, the acceptance of the refined MPO represents a major milestone on the path to permitting mining activities at DeLamar. This major permitting achievement, along with the recently announced Relationship Agreement with the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes, clearly demonstrate Integra's commitment to advancing DeLamar toward a production decision."

On next steps, Integra said the BLM will publish the NOI in the Federal Register to notify government agencies and the general public about the proposed actions at DeLamar. The NOI is a formal announcement of intent to prepare an EIS as defined by NEPA. The NOI is followed by a public scoping process, which includes engagement with federal, state, and local agencies as well as the general public to determine the issues and concerns associated with the Project. Once the Project has undergone agency and public scoping, an EIS document will be prepared.
