Integra Resources Expands Near-Mine Gold Targets at Florida Canyon with Promising Drill Results
Integra Resources Expands Near-Mine Gold Targets at Florida Canyon
Vancouver, BC - September 23, 2026
Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV: ITR; NYSE American: ITRG), a growing player in the precious metals sector, is excited to share its latest findings from the ongoing drilling program at the Florida Canyon Mine located in Nevada. These results unveil significant new gold growth targets, indicating an expansive future for the mine's resource capacity.
The latest findings reveal that Integra has identified additional opportunities for resource growth through concentrated exploration efforts. In particular, the newly designated Madre Shear North Target, along with other underexplored areas between both active and historical open pits, is believed to hold substantial potential.
Highlights of Recent Drilling Results
1. Madre Shear North Target:
- Drill results include:
- FCMR26-1284: 0.48 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 54.9 meters
- FCMR26-1279: 0.42 g/t Au over 9.1 meters
- FCMR26-1282: 0.32 g/t Au over 6.1 meters
This area represents the northern section of the Madre Shear zone, previously untested due to the presence of the North Dump. The gold mineralization found here suggests strong potential for future extraction as prior mining activities in the southern extension have left the northern part largely unexplored.
2. Inter-Pit Resource Growth:
- Successful drilling results from the area between the Central Open Pit and Radio Tower Open Pit showed:
- FCMR26-1250: 1.30 g/t Au over 62.5 meters (including notable intervals of 9.37 g/t and 14.74 g/t over 1.5 meters)
- FCMR26-1162: 0.59 g/t Au over 167.6 meters
These results evidence gold resource potential adjacent to existing mining zones, seamlessly integrating into current operations and providing flexibility for future expansions.
3. North Dump Insights:
- Recent drilling in the North Dump indicates:
- FCMR26-0988: 0.38 g/t Au over 36.6 meters
- FCMR26-1060: 0.39 g/t Au over 45.7 meters (including 6.12 g/t over 1.5 meters)
The North Dump’s material is critical, being previously mined waste, now showing resource consistency and lower operational costs due to its proximity to current processing infrastructure.
Strategic Implications
George Salamis, the President and CEO of Integra Resources, commented on these findings, stating, "These results mark some of the best drilling intercepts our team has recorded since acquiring Florida Canyon, confirming our belief that we are just at the beginning of our growth story. The successful exploration continues to bolster our conviction that the potential for resource growth is vast, demonstrated clearly by the promising results from Madre Shear North and the Inter-Pit targets."
The strategic direction is clear: drill results not only identify immediate resource expansion opportunities but also set the stage for long-term growth at Florida Canyon. As Integra plans additional drilling, including 7,000 meters at the Standard Mine area, interest in the mining potential for the region continues to rise.
Future Prospects
Ongoing exploration initiatives focus on delineating near-surface oxide gold mineralization aimed at extending the mine's operational lifespan and enhancing profitability. Further research and planned drilling activities are anticipated, ensuring that Integra remains aligned with their objective of maximizing resource potential effectively.
Conclusion
The Florida Canyon Mine’s promising development underscores Integra Resources Corp.'s commitment to growth in the precious metals industry. With more than 30,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling completed in 2026, the path forward seems to shine brightly with potential mineral resource growth that will not only benefit the company’s portfolio but also support local communities through continued economic viability.
