Forward Looking Statements
No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained on this presentation. This
presentation contains "forward-looking information" concerning Integra Gold Corp.’s (“Integra“ or the “Company”) future financial or operating performance and
other statements that express management's expectations or estimates of future developments, circumstances or results. Generally, forward-looking information
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “seeks”, "believes", "anticipates", "plans", “continues”, "budget", "scheduled", "estimates",
"expects", "forecasts", "intends", “projects”, “predicts”, “proposes”, "potential", “targets” and variations of such words and phrases, or by statements that certain
actions, events or results "may", "will", "could", "would", “should” or "might" "be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking statements included in this
presentation include statements regarding potential mineralization and mineral resources, the proposed mining scenario for the Lamaque Gold Project, including
information with respect to the supporting infrastructure, the potential life of mine, rates of employment and the effects of steps taken to mitigate local impacts
and the expected completion dates of exploration and drilling, exploration results, estimated and future exploration and administration expenditures, the
completion of scoping studies, preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility or feasibility studies, and future plans and objectives of Integra. While all
forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties, these statements are based on certain assumptions that management of Integra believes are
reasonable, including that it will be able to obtain financing and on reasonable terms, that its current exploration and other objectives can be achieved, that its
exploration and other activities will proceed as expected, that its community and environmental impact procedures will work as anticipated, that general business
and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that Integra will not experience any material accident, labour dispute or failure or shortage
of equipment, and that all necessary government approvals for its planned exploration and potential development activities will be obtained in a timely manner
and on acceptable terms. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could
differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Integra’s expectations
include, among others, the actual results of current exploration activities being different than those anticipated by Integra, changes in project parameters as plans
continue to be refined, changes in estimated mineral resources, future prices of metals, increased costs of labor, equipment or materials, availability of
equipment, failure of equipment to operate as anticipated, accidents, effects of weather and other natural phenomena, risks related to community relations and
activities of stakeholders, and delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing. Although Integra has attempted to identify important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance
that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Integra does not intend, and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to, update or
revise any forward-looking information or statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Silica and Québec
In June 2014, the Government of Quebec and Spanish based Grupo
FerroAtlantica, one of the largest silicon metal producers in the
world, announced plans to build a $382 million silicon metal plant
in Port-Cartier, QC.
The Port-Cartier Plant will
be operational in 2017 and
produce 100,000 tons of
silicon metal annually
The Silicon Metal Market Outlook Report suggests growing demand in the silicon
market. "Recent price gains can mainly be attributed to tightening supply due to low
current levels of production in Brazil and China, but increasing demand will sustain
these gains and support a further rise in silicon prices through to 2017.“ – 28/3/2014
Silica – Sources
Silica
• Silica (SiO2) is highly used and plays an important role in
industrial applications
• Quartz is a common and abundant mineral in the earth’s
crust, however, high purity silica deposits of > 99% SiO2
are very rare
Sources of Silica
• For industrial uses, silica can be derived from a number of
sources:
 sandstones or unconsolidated sands,
 quartz from veins,
 pegmatite related quartz, and
 quartzites
End uses of silica products (Source: High Purity Quartz (2014), Solar Silicon Resources Group).

Radio Hill Iron Ore Project, Ontario
Access to Transportation
In 1964, the Radio Hill Project
was preparing for full production
only to be stopped by low iron
ore prices.
Located on the CN Mainline track
system with a rail roadbed to the
site already in place, iron ore
could be efficiently transported
to a variety of major processing
hubs.
Airborne Geophysics
• Extensive drilling has been
carried out on the project,
including 140 Drill Holes
into anomalies at Radio
Hill
• The potential for resources
expansion exists at the 12
km long Nat River
Formation. To date, only 6
drill holes have been
completed on this
formation

The Radio Hill deposit provides a unique situation in that it has already been tested
through to the feasibility stage. The accompanying chart is from the feasibility
studied conducted in 1965 by FENCO showing positive values allowing for the
commercial production of iron ore pellets. Concentrate percentages above 65% are
generally viewed very positively. The table also shows low values for deleterious
Soluble Iron
elements such as phosphate and manganese, metals also appear very low.

Silica – Uses and Specifications
Specifications for industrial silica uses are largely based on:
•
high SiO2 content
•
low contents of other major elements (low impurities), such as Fe2O3,
Al2O3, TiO2, and certain other trace elements
Traditional uses for silica with less stringent chemical specifications
include:
•
glass, foundry sand, hydraulic fracturing sand, sandblasting material,
abrasive quality silicon carbide, nonferrous smelter flux
High technology uses that require high purity silica, usually > 98% SiO2 and
in most cases > 99% SiO2, include:
•
electronics, computer chip, fibre optic, solar cells
•
fillers, extenders and thickeners, high temperature ceramics
•
feedstock for chemical uses, electronic semiconductor markets,
ferrosilicon, and silicon metal for metallurgical markets
Selected specifications for different silica uses (Source: SIDEX - www.sidex.ca ).
