VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the first set of results from drilling at the No. 5 Plug at the Lamaque Gold Project in Val d'Or, Quebec. The No. 5 Plug is an exploration target within the North Cluster, 1,000 m north of the Company's primary zones, the Triangle Zone and No. 4 Plug, which together form the South Cluster (see map below).

"We are encouraged by the both grade and frequency of veins we are seeing at the No. 5 Plug and look forward to continuing to define this exploration target. Exploration at the No. 5 Plug was in its infancy when Teck originally joint ventured the project in the late 1980s and there remain a number of high grade targets which were never adequately followed up on," commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong. "The results announced today demonstrate that mineralization occurs throughout the intrusive plug, which remains open at depth. Drilling is planned to continue year round at Lamaque, both infill and testing exploration targets such as the No. 5 Plug, making for a steady news flow to accompany other major catalysts. The No. 5 Plug results will not be included in the Company's next resource update, which is anticipated to be completed in Q2 2013."
Drilling at Plug No. 5 has focused on defining gold mineralization at 50 to 100 m centers with a focus on the upper part of the intrusive Plug (above 400 m vertical) although significant gold mineralization is being discovered below this level. Results announced today are from the first six holes of a 10,000 m program which began in October 2012. 11 holes, totaling 5,000 m, have been completed in this program to date.
