A summary of ESG milestones highlighted in the Sustainability Report for DeLamar include:

Environment:

Baseline Studies - in advance of submitting the Mine Plan of Operations for DeLamar and beginning the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") process, Integra invested approximately US$2.7 million conducting comprehensive baseline studies over the course of 2022 and continued this work through 2023. The baseline studies gather essential data to develop environmental mitigation strategies on future proposed mining operations.

Zero Reportable Spills at DeLamar - continuing Integra's strong record of performance in environmental management.

Mine Plan Engineering for DeLamar - focus on the advanced study and design of the proposed mine plan, including specific focus on water quality, water quantity, biodiversity preservation, and community considerations.

Social:

Stakeholder Outreach - over the course of 2022, Integra engaged with over 6,200 stakeholders surrounding DeLamar, with the top categories being civic/non-profit organizations, local residents, and educational institutions.

Tribal Nation Consultation - Integra continues to place great importance on building relationships with Tribal Nations with traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands surrounding DeLamar. Feedback received expressed a need for increased, early (pre-NEPA) engagement, and on-the-ground monitoring, which led to a Tribal Cultural Resource Monitor training held in partnership between Tribal Nations, Integra, the Boise District Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), and the Idaho National Guard.

Community Investment - Integra invested approximately US$100,000 into its local communities in donations, sponsorships, and in-kind support, guided by the Company's Community Investment Policy.

Health & Safety - 2022 saw a significant improvement in Health & Safety incident rates, with rates of 0.0 for both the 42,000 employee hours and 20,000 contractor hours worked at DeLamar.

Governance:

Culture Committee - to further operationalize Integra's core values throughout the day-to-day experience of the Integra team, the Culture Committee was formed in March of 2022 and has held several meetings to foster, monitor, and improve Integra's culture.

Diversity & Inclusion - Women of Integra events have been a welcome and consistent action to underscore the Company's commitment to diversity and inclusion, and have regular involvement from site staff, management, and the Board.

DeLamar Day Governor Proclamation

Integra was honored to receive an official proclamation from Brad Little, Governor of the State of Idaho, proclaiming August 18, 2023 as "DeLamar Day" in the great State of Idaho. This proclamation underscores the State's recognition of the pivotal role of mining in Idaho's history, and the important contributions to the State that responsible natural resource development will continue to play. The proclamation also highlights Integra's commitment to responsible and sustainable resource development, emphasizing modern mining practices, environmental protection, and community engagement. This year's DeLamar Day event attracted roughly 250 Owyhee and Malheur County residents to Jordan Valley, and celebrated the rich Tribal, Basque, ranching and mining cultural fabric of the region.

National Mining Hall of Fame Induction

Integra is proud to announce the recent induction of Carolyn Loder, Integra Board member and Chair of the Board's ESG Committee, into the National Mining Hall of Fame. This marks the first induction of a living woman into the Hall of Fame and is a testament to Carolyn's remarkable dedication to the mining industry spanning over four decades. Throughout her career, Carolyn has championed the preservation of mining viability while advocating the value that building robust and transparent relationships with Tribal Nations and local communities has, all while preserving access to vital mineral resources on public lands. Her efforts were nationally recognized when she received the U.S. Department of Agriculture's honor for her "Significant Contribution to the Nation's Energy Program", specifically for her work in safeguarding access to the nation's mineral resources. Her dedication to transparency and fairness earned her accolades from both Tribal Nation communities and the industry. Carolyn's significant influence continued as she served on the BLM Resource Advisory Council for Arizona, representing mining and energy, where she successfully garnered support for opposing the withdrawal of over a million acres from mineral entry in Arizona.
