VANCOUVER, BC, March 16, 2026 /CNW/ - Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Company") (TSXV:ITR) (NYSE:ITRG) is pleased to announce that the Company has been included in the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ("GDXJ") exchange-traded fund ("ETF"), effective at the close of markets on March 20, 2026, pursuant to the GDXJ quarterly rebalance. The GDXJ is an ETF that tracks an index of small- and mid-cap companies primarily involved in gold and silver mining, providing investors indirect exposure to precious metals through junior mining equities.

George Salamis, President, CEO, and Director of Integra, commented: "We are pleased to have met the criteria for inclusion in the GDXJ, a globally recognized exchange traded fund. This milestone reflects Integra's growing profile as an investment opportunity and the significant transformation the Company has undergone over the past eighteen months. During this period, Integra has transitioned from a U.S. gold developer to a U.S. gold producer through the acquisition of the Florida Canyon Mine, where we are advancing operational improvements and exploration drilling to enhance value and increase mine life. At the same time, we continue to advance our flagship DeLamar project in Idaho, through feasibility and permitting, while progressing our Nevada North portfolio toward future pre-feasibility studies. We believe this momentum is being recognized by the capital markets, and our inclusion in the GDXJ should enhance Integra's visibility, improve trading liquidity, and broaden our appeal to a wider universe of institutional and retail investors."
