War Eagle Mountain is located 3 km southeast of Florida Mountain and 9 km east of DeLamar in the Owyhee Mountain range in southwestern Idaho. Drilling at War Eagle has identified two parallel mineralized structures approximately 150 m apart with strike lengths of over 500 m. These principal structures host high-grade gold and silver mineralization associated with quartz-pyrite veinlets within rhyolite breccias and brecciated volcano-sediments. The mineralization identified to date within the volcanics is considered to be within the diffuse cap which sits above the modelled high-grade veins within the underlying granite. The broad distribution of mineralization delineated by the soil geochemical anomalies indicates considerable lateral dispersion of mineralization within the permeable volcanic cap, possibly from a structure several hundred meters east of the known mineralized structures. All holes drilled this year at War Eagle intersected these mineralized zones to varying degrees, highlighting the presence of high-grade gold silver concentrations in the form of 100 m to 200 m strike lengths in steeply plunging shoots. In total, the Company drilled 3,675 m in 10 drill holes at War Eagle in the 2020 campaign.
In 2019, Integra discovered a large geochemical anomaly 300 m east of the 2019 drill campaign. In 2020, the Company drilled 5 drill holes into this anomaly, discovering the second, parallel mineralized structure at War Eagle. This second structure was drilled 400 m to the north of the 2019 drill holes and returned the highest-grade gold and silver assays of the 2020 campaign. This structure is currently modeled to have a strike length of approximately 550 m south-southeast and is largely untested. The geochemical soil anomaly that led the Company to this new structure is interpreted as being lateral leakage outward along the base of the latite flow, presumably emanating from the eastern most structure identified in this year’s drill program.

(1) Downhole thickness; true width varies depending on drill hole dip; most drill holes are aimed at intersecting the vein structures close to perpendicular therefore true widths are close to downhole widths (approximately 70% conversion ratio)
(2) Gold equivalent = g Au/t + (g Ag/t ÷ 77.70)
(3) Intervals reported are uncapped
