Integra Gold Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 15, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") has been selected for a technical review by the B.C. Securities Commission and as a result we are issuing the following clarifying news release. The Company also announces it anticipates closing its $3.0 million financing on Friday, August 17, 2012.

1. Triangle and Lamaque Technical Reports:
2. The Triangle Zone Resource Report requires a number of formatting edits and additions in order to be compliant with NI 43-101 reporting standards. While BCSC has not formally reviewed this report, their comments are in respect of the format of the report itself, rather than its methodology or the credibility of the resources. After discussions with BCSC, the Company will be adding the Triangle Zone Resource Report as a section into a revised 2011 Lamaque report. It is anticipated by the Company that there will be NO recalculation or audit of the resources stated in this report, and thus no material change.
3. Lamaque report deficiencies - There are deficiencies in the Company's July 2011 NI 43-101 technical report, none of which are material to the resource. These will be addressed at the same time the Triangle Zone report is added to the July 2011 NI-43-101 technical report.
4. As noted above, the Company is in the process of updating the existing July 2011 NI 43-101 technical report and anticipates that it will be completed and filed within approximately 6 weeks. This report will then have an effective date of November 2011.
5. The Company is also in the process of preparing updated resource estimates for the project which will incorporate approximately 35,000 meters of new drilling and will include updated estimates for the Triangle, No. 4 Plug, Parallel, and Forestel Zones. The report is anticipated to be released in the first quarter of 2013.
6. General Updates:
7. On November 16, 2011 the Company disclosed it was estimating resources for it Sixteen Zone "with management anticipating its release shortly". A review of all drilling has resulted in a recommendation that more data (drilling) is needed prior to a resource calculation for this zone.
8. In a January 23, 2012 corporate presentation the Company stated it had an "exploration objective of one million ounces." This statement and corporate presentation did not have the required information and cautionary language and the Company wishes to retract this statement. Updated exploration objectives will be outlined in subsequent press releases.
9. In November 2011 the Company stated it had contracted SRK to conduct a review of the project, including a technical memorandum summarizing work undertaken by SRK. The Company cancelled its arrangement with SRK prior to receiving any such report as the appointment of Hervé Thiboutot as Senior VP Exploration has allowed it conduct an exploration review with recommendations in-house.

The Company's qualified person, Hervé Thiboutot, P.Eng. & Vice-President of the Company, has reviewed the technical content of this news release.
