VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 22, 2026 /CNW/ -- Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Company") (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to provide an interim operational update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 (the "third quarter 2026" or "Q3 2026"). The Florida Canyon Mine ("Florida Canyon" or the "Mine") produced 17,652 ounces of gold during the quarter, an 8% increase from the second quarter of 2026 and a 40% increase from the first quarter of 2026. Ore mined and placed on the heap leach pads at Florida Canyon has continued to increase throughout the year with a 21% increase in ore mined and a 25% increase in ore placed on the heap leach pads quarter-over-quarter. Mining and ore stacking rates continue to improve at Florida Canyon, and the Company continues to target its previously announced full-year gold production guidance of 70,000 to 75,000 ounces.

The Company plans to release its third quarter 2026 financial results after market close on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, followed by a conference call hosted by senior management on Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST / 8:00 AM PCT / 7:00 AM PST.

See the six months ended June 30, 2026 in the table below titled: Third Quarter 2026 Florida Canyon Mine Operational Update and results for the first and second quarter of 2026 in the news release dated July 23, 2026 available at www.integraresources.com and titled: Integra Reports Record Mining and Ore-Stacking rates at Florida Canyon, 30% Increase in Second Quarter Gold Production.

George Salamis, President, CEO and Director of Integra commented: "Production in Q3 2026 rose 8% over the second quarter and 40% over the first quarter of 2026. Ore mined and ore placed on the heap leach pads have continued to increase year-to-date, and processed grades have improved steadily throughout the year. Mining rates are expected to remain elevated this quarter as we focus on annual production guidance.   

Our goal is to make Florida Canyon a more predictable, cost-effective operation through targeted investments in stripping, leach pad expansion, mobile fleet and other infrastructure improvements. The Central Pit pre-stripping campaign continues to be a key priority for the site team, with work progressing toward improved access to higher-grade ore in 2027. The Central Pit is expected to deliver higher-grade ore to support production in the coming years. Strategic investments at Florida Canyon will continue into 2027 at an expected lower rate.   

With $119 million of cash on hand, we are well positioned to fund ongoing investment at Florida Canyon and growth focused exploration while advancing our project pipeline. This includes progressing the DeLamar Project through permitting toward a Final Investment Decision, expected in the second half of 2027, and completing economic studies and pre-permitting work at the Nevada North Project."

(2)	Ore milled includes material from stockpiles and ore mined.

Florida Canyon produced 17,652 ounces of gold in the third quarter 2026, with 46,666 ounces of gold produced year-to-date. Mining activity at Florida Canyon increased 12% over the second quarter of 2026 with approximately 9.0 M total tonnes mined at an average mining rate of approximately 97,428 tonnes per day.

The record tonnes mined this year have increased the ounces stacked on the heap leach pads, driving quarter-over-quarter production growth. Increased run-of-mine ore placement contributed to a lower blended gold recovery rate, reflecting the lower expected recovery of run-of-mine ore relative to crushed ore. The ore stacking and blending strategy used since Q1 is being monitored closely and refined at these higher mining rates.
