Integra Resources Reports Exceptional Third Quarter Gold Production and Cash Balance Surge
Integra Resources Corp., trading on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSXV: ITR) and NYSE American (ITRG), has released an operational update reflecting impressive production results from the Florida Canyon Mine for the third quarter of 2025. The report reveals that the company produced 20,653 ounces of gold during this period, while simultaneously selling 20,265 ounces of gold, aligning with the firm's expectations. CEO and President George Salamis highlighted that Florida Canyon is meeting its targets, generating substantial cash flow crucial for reinvestment into the mine and helping support the company’s broader growth strategy.
The Florida Canyon Mine saw notable operational activity during the third quarter, with a total of 2,533 kilotons of ore mined and a waste-to-ore strip ratio of 1.34. The company indicated that mineral recovery has been supported by enhancements in leaching processes and infrastructure investments. The recent gold price environment has also positively influenced the profit margin, allowing Integra to increase its cash reserves to an impressive $81.2 million as of September 30, 2025, marking the strongest financial position in the company's history.
During Q3 2025, Integra deployed capital towards several vital areas including the expansion of the leach pad and necessary improvements to mining equipment. The phase IIIa heap leach pad has contributed significantly to gold recovery, and there are anticipations that the company will meet its annual gold production guidance for 2025. Additionally, despite some operational challenges including a temporary water shortage affecting mining operations, efficient adjustments have been made to maintain productivity.
The ongoing construction of the phase IIIb heap leach pad is proceeding as planned, with commissioning expected to be completed in Q4 2025. Furthermore, the company is committed to revitalizing the mining fleet at Florida Canyon, which includes refurbishing existing haul trucks and loaders while also integrating several new pieces of essential equipment. This procurement includes new Caterpillar haul trucks and a Hitachi mining shovel, expected to enhance the mine's operational efficiency and reduce reliance on rental equipment.
The third-quarter conference call is scheduled for November 13, 2025, where senior management will share detailed financial results and insights into the ongoing developments at the Florida Canyon Mine. Stakeholders will have the opportunity to hear directly about the company's strategies and future plans as it continues to navigate the challenges and opportunities within the mining sector.
Overall, Integra's solid performance in Q3 2025 serves not just as a testament to the operational strength of the Florida Canyon Mine but also reflects the company’s proactive approach towards sustainable growth. Integra Resources Corp. remains focused on maximizing shareholder value through disciplined project management and operational excellence, aligning with the highest standards of environmental and social governance in the mining industry.
