## Minestarters Atlas summary

Integra Resources Corp. reported its Q1 2026 results, highlighting a record total of 6.91 million tonnes mined and a strengthened financial position with $105.8 million in cash and equivalents, partly due to a $57.5 million public offering. Despite lower gold production of 12,635 ounces and elevated cash costs of $2,422/oz and Mine-site AISC of $3,310/oz compared to Q1 2025, the company achieved increased revenue of $61.7 million and mine operating earnings of $24.9 million. Permitting for the DeLamar Project advanced with an optimized Mine Plan of Operations submitted, and the Wildcat Exploration Plan of Operations was fully approved.

Reasoning: Integra Resources reported mixed Q1 2026 results with record total tonnes mined, increased revenue and operating earnings, and a strengthened financial position from a capital raise. However, gold production and sales were lower than the prior year, and costs were elevated, though the company maintained its full-year production guidance and advanced key permitting milestones.

- Positive factor: Record total tonnes mined

- Positive factor: Strengthened financial position due to capital raise

- Positive factor: Increased revenue and mine operating earnings

- Positive factor: Improved operating margin

- Positive factor: Commissioned new haul trucks, enhancing mining capacity

- Positive factor: Permitting progress on DeLamar and Nevada North projects

- Positive factor: Maintained full-year production guidance

- Negative factor: Lower gold production and sales compared to Q1 2025

- Negative factor: Elevated cash costs and Mine-site AISC, above guidance

- Negative factor: Decreased operating cash flow and free cash flow compared to Q1 2025

- Negative factor: Temporary production timing impacts due to reduced solution flow rates to a leach pad cell

Facts used in scoring: 9

## Classification and evidence

**Tonnage Growth**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Tonnage increase reaching the strong tier vs prior estimate, with grade maintained or improved.

Why it applies: Total tonnes mined increased from 4,820 kt in Q1 2025 to 6,910 kt in Q1 2026, representing a significant increase.

Evidence · table

> 6,910

Context: Total Mined

**Dilutive Growth**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: Tonnage increased but contained metal flat or down — likely from lower cut-off grade, not geological expansion.

Why it applies: The strip ratio increased significantly from 0.60 in Q1 2025 to 1.30 in Q1 2026, indicating a higher proportion of waste mined relative to ore, which can be dilutive to overall economics.

Evidence · table

> 1.30

Context: Strip ratio

**Category Upgrade**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Resource confidence improved — Inferred upgraded to Indicated, or Indicated to Measured. De-risking signal.

Why it applies: The Wildcat Exploration Plan of Operations \(EPO\) decision record is complete and the Reclamation Permit was received, providing greater flexibility for expanded exploration and drilling campaigns, which can lead to resource growth and upgrades.

Evidence · text

> The Wildcat EPO, now fully approved, will provide greater flexibility for significantly expanded exploration and hydrogeological drilling campaigns scheduled to begin in Q2 2026.

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The scientific and technical information in the news release has been reviewed and approved by a 'Qualified Person' as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

Evidence · text

> The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by James Frost, P.Eng., Director, Technical Services of Integra, who is a "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The company is advancing its resource growth drilling program at Florida Canyon and expects an updated mine plan and technical report later this year, indicating a resource update is in progress.

Evidence · text

> Continued advancement of the resource growth drilling program at Florida Canyon in Q1 2026. The drilling program marks the first phase of a multi-year growth strategy designed to expand mineral reserves and resources.

**PEA-Supporting**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment — early-stage study.

Why it applies: The Feasibility Study for DeLamar confirmed robust economics for a low-cost, large-scale, conventional open pit oxide heap leach operation, which supports further development and potential economic assessments.

Evidence · text

> The FS for DeLamar confirmed robust economics for a low-cost, large-scale, conventional open pit oxide heap leach operation, with competitive operating costs and a high rate of return.

**Heap Leach Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via heap leach — lower CAPEX and OPEX, lower recovery expected.

Why it applies: the document describes a heap\_leach route \("heap leach"\)
