upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our
current judgment regarding the direction of our business.
Management believes that these assumptions are reasonable.
Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such
factors include, among others: risks related to the speculative
nature of the Company’s business; the Company’s formative stage of
development; the Company’s financial position; possible variations
in mineralization, grade or recovery rates; actual results of
current exploration activities; actual results of reclamation
activities; conclusions of future economic evaluations; business
integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic
conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; fluctuations in
spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base metals or certain
other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the

and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose
restrictions on mining; employee relations; relationships with and
claims by local communities and indigenous populations;
availability of increasing costs associated with mining inputs and
labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and
development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses,
permits and approvals from government authorities); and title to

this news release are based upon what management of Integra
believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions,
Integra cannot assure its shareholders that actual results will be
consistent with such forward-looking statements, as there may be
other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated,
or intended.
Forward-looking statements contained herein are
made as of the date of this news release and the Company disclaims
any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or results, except as
may be required by applicable securities laws. There can be no
assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be
