Andre Saint-Germain: I will now pass the call over to our CFO, André Saint-Germain, to discuss the financial results for the quarter. Thanks, George. Integra closed Q1 with our strongest financial position to date with a cash balance of $61.1 million and a robust working capital of $63.8 million, which is expected to fund sustaining capital needs for Florida Canyon, development expenditures at Delamar and Nevada North, and cover our G&E expenditures for the year six The company reported Q1 revenues of $57 million and cost of sales of $41.5 million. resulting in $15.5 million in gross profit, which equates to a 27% operating profit margin.

Speaker Change: I will now pass the call over to our CFO Andre St. Joe <unk> to discuss the financial results for the quarter.

Andrée St-Germain: Thanks, George. Integra closed Q1 with our strongest financial position to date, with a cash balance of $61.1 million and a robust working capital of $63.8 million, which is expected to fund sustaining capital needs for Florida Canyon, development expenditures at Delamar and Nevada North, and cover our G&A expenditures for the years to come. The company reported Q1 revenues of $57 million and cost of sales of $41.5 million, resulting in $15.5 million in gross profit, which equates to a 27% operating profit margin. The increase in profit margin compared to Q4 2024 is primarily due to the gold price increase. We realized this quarter an average gold price of $2,888 per ounce. Q1 adjusted earnings were $4.4 million, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.03 after adjusting for impact of the Florida Canyon purchase gain, integration costs, and unrealized loss on derivatives.

Speaker Change: Thanks Joey.

Speaker Change: Great close Q1.

Jason Bender: Earnings per share with Jason.

Jason Bender: After adjusting for impact at the Florida Canyon purchase gain intake.

Jason Bender: Integration costs and unrealized loss on derivatives.

Andrée St-Germain: The unrealized loss on derivatives is primarily due to the impact of our share price increase this quarter on the value of the convertible loan derivative component. As discussed by Greg earlier, we saw a slightly increased cost during the quarter at Florida Canyon, which can be partially attributed to the wrap-up of capital spending for pre-stripping activities, higher royalty payments due to the increased spot gold price, and increased tax-related production costs. We intend to provide further details on costs and sustaining capital for the remainder of 2025 as part of formal guidance to be published prior to the release of Q2 results. I will now pass the call back to George to discuss strategic objectives for the remainder of 2025.

Jason Bender: The unrealized loss on derivatives is primarily due to the impact of our share price increase this quarter the value of the convertible loan derivative component.

Andre Saint-Germain: Finally, as discussed by Greg earlier, we saw a slightly increased cost during the quarter at Florida Canyon, which can be partially attributed to the ramp up of capital spending for pre-stripping activities, higher royalty payments due to the increased spot gold price, and increased tax-related production costs.

Greg Robinson: Finally, as discussed by Greg earlier.

Greg Robinson: We saw slightly increased cost during the quarter at Florida Canyon.

Greg Robinson: Which can be partially attributed to wrap up of capital spending for pre stripping activities.

George Salamis: Thanks, Cliff. And as I always say, you know, it always feels good to have drill steel turning in the rock, and that's what we have now, so everybody's pretty excited. Yeah, we're really pleased to have recently launched a growth-focused drill program at Florida Canyon. The 2025 drill program marks the first phase of a multi-year growth strategy designed to expand mineral resources and reserves, extend mine life, and ultimately maximize the value of Florida Canyon. The 10,000-meter drill program commenced in early May and is expected to conclude in Q3, with initial results to be released over the course of the summer. The program is focused on testing near mine targets at Florida Canyon in three different areas.

George Salamis: Thanks, Chris and as I always say it feels always feels good to have drove Steele turning in the rock and Thats, what we have now so everybody's pretty excited.

George Salamis: So yeah, we're really pleased to have recently launched a growth-focused drill program at Florida Canyon. The 2025 drill program marks the first phase of a multi-year growth strategy designed to expand mineral resources and reserves, extend mine life, and ultimately maximize the value of Florida Canyon. The 10,000 meter drill program commenced in early May and is expected to conclude in the third quarter with initial results to be released over the course of the summer. The program is focused on testing near mine targets at Florida Canyon in three different areas.

George Salamis: So yes, we're really pleased to have recently launched a growth focused drill program at Florida Canyon for 2025 year old program marks the first phase of our multiyear growth strategy designed to expand mineral resources and reserves extending mine life and ultimately maximize the value of Florida Canyon.

George Salamis: The 10000 meter drill program commenced in early May and is expected to conclude in the third quarter with initial results to be released over the course of the summer.

George Salamis: The program is focused on testing near mine targets at Florida Canyon in three different areas.

George Salamis: The first opportunity is the near-surface oxide potential from historical dump material. consisting of 2,000 meters of RC drilling. Drilling in this area targets large volumes of historical gold mineralized backfill and low-grade waste material previously estimated to be below the mining cutoff grade in a significantly lower gold price environment.

George Salamis: The first opportunity is the near surface oxide potential from historical dump material consisting of 2,000 meters of RC drilling. Drilling in this area targets large volumes of historical gold mineralized backfill and low-grade waste material previously estimated to be below the mining cutoff grade in a significantly lower gold price environment. These areas demonstrate the greatest near-term opportunity to increase mineral resources and potentially extend mine life. The second opportunity is expanding its in-situ resources between existing mine open pits, consisting of 5,000 meters of RC drilling. Drilling will target saddles and ridges or these areas between active and historical pits. Many of these areas have been sparsely drilled historically and offer meaningful oxide growth potential directly adjacent to current and future mining phases. The third opportunity is testing lateral extensions and in-pit infill drilling, consisting of 3,000 meters of RC drilling.

Please limit your questions to one and one follow up our first question comes from the line of Heiko with H C. Wainwright. Please go ahead.

Heiko Ila: Our first question comes from the line of Heiko Ila with HC Wainwright. Please go ahead. Hey there, thanks for taking my questions. I assume you can hear me okay? Yes. Hey, I mean, gold's currently at the $3,200, $3,210 or whatever. It's up $800 in the last year. Just a bit of a conceptual question.

George Salamis: Yeah.

Heiko Ihle: Hey there. Thanks for taking my questions. I assume you can hear me okay?

Heiko: Hey, there thanks for taking my questions I, assuming you can hear me okay.

George Salamis: Yes.

George Salamis: Yes.

Heiko Ihle: Perfect. Hey, gold's currently at the $3,200, $3,210, whatever. It's up $800 in the last year. Just a bit of a conceptual question. Have there been any internal changes in what you're mining, exploring, looking at Florida Canyon given the sharp increase in gold pricing today? It's probably not really where you expected to be when you first started looking at the asset. If so, what has changed and what's actually going on versus your expectations, please?

Speaker Change: Hey, Gold's currently at 3200, 30 to 110 or whatever it is up 800 bucks in the last year.

Speaker Change: Just a bit of a conceptual question has there any has there been any internal changes and what you are mining exploring looking at the Florida Canyon, given the sharp increase in gold pricing today because.

George Salamis: Have there been any internal changes in what you're mining, exploring, looking at at Florida Canyon, given the sharp increase in gold pricing today? Because it's probably not really where you expect it to be when you first started looking at the asset. And if so, what has changed and what's actually going on versus your expectation? Yeah, thanks for that question.

Speaker Change: Because it's probably not really where you expect it to be when you first started looking at looking at the asset and if so what has changed and what's actually going on versus your expectations. Please.

George Salamis: Yeah, Heiko, thanks for that question. I think the best place to start off with would be the focus of the exploration program that we alluded to in the course of the Q1 call. We alluded to the fact that a fair bit of this exploration, a fair chunk of the 10,000 meters of drilling will be allocated to some of this historical dump material, right? While that material did not make cut off back in the day due to lower gold prices, that material now makes a lot of sense for us to look at. Volumetrically, there's a lot of that material sitting in piles, used as backfill in some of the historical pits, et cetera. That's one of the ways where the improved gold price allows us to look at things like that.

Speaker Change: Yeah, Hi, guys. Thanks for that question.

George Salamis: So I think the best place to start off with would be the focus of the exploration program that we alluded to in the in the course of the Q1 call. You know, we alluded to the fact that a fair bit of this exploration, a fair chunk of the 10,000 meters of drilling will be allocated to some of this historical dump material, right? And while that material did not make a cutoff back in the day, due to lower gold prices, that material now makes a lot of sense for us to look at. And volumetrically, there's a lot of that material.

Speaker Change: I think as the best place to start off with would be the focus of the exploration program that we alluded to in the in the course of the Q1 call.

Speaker Change: We alluded to the fact that a fair bit of this exploration a fair chunk of the 10000 meters of drilling will be allocated to some of this historical dump materials right and while that material did not make a cut off back in the day due to lower gold prices that material now makes a lot of sense for us to look at.

Speaker Change: And volumetric leader there is a lot of that material.

George Salamis: Sitting in piles, used as backfill in some of the historical pits, etc. So that's one of the ways where the improved gold price allows us to look at things like that. Other initiatives, obviously, from a metallurgical optimization perspective, the higher gold price affords us to maybe look at other opportunities with respect to run-of-mine heap leaching, as opposed to crushed ore heap leaching. There are a bunch of things like that, Heiko, that the higher gold price can afford us to look at. Now. I figured we'd be getting an answer along those lines.

Speaker Change: Sitting in piles used as backfill and historically in some of the historical pits et cetera. So that's one of the ways. We're.

The improved gold price allows us to look at things like that.

George Salamis: Other initiatives, obviously from a metallurgical optimization perspective, the higher gold price affords us to maybe look at other opportunities with respect to run of mine heap leaching as opposed to crush ore heap leaching. There are a bunch of things like that, Heiko, that the higher gold price can afford us to look at right now.

Speaker Change: Are there other initiatives, obviously from the metallurgical optimization perspective.

Speaker Change: The higher gold price affords us to maybe look at other opportunities with respect to run of mine.

Speaker Change: Heap leaching as opposed to crushed ore heap leaching.

Speaker Change: There are a bunch of things like that HEICO that.

Speaker Change: The higher gold price can afford us to look at.

Heiko Ihle: Yeah. I figured we'd be getting an answer along those lines. Building on all of that, we've all seen a decent amount of cost inflation in the mining space, and you're planning some pretty meaningful capital expenditures, I'd say, heap leach pad expansions, mining fleet additions, pre-stripping, you name it. Any way for you to provide some granularity with where costs are actually coming in and availability and all that good stuff versus what you had expected?

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Speaker Change: I figured we'd be getting an answer along those lines.

Heiko Ila: Building on all of that, we've also seen, you know, a decent amount of cost inflation in the mining space and you're playing some pretty meaningful capital expenditures on site, you know, heat leach pads, expansions, mining fleet additions, pre-stripping, I mean, you name it. Any way for you to provide some granularity with where costs are actually coming in and availability and all that good stuff versus what you had expected? And maybe more importantly, anything you want to point out that's not as you expected it to be.

Speaker Change: Building on all of that we call senior decent amount of cost inflation in the mining space and you're playing some pretty meaningful capital expenditures I saw your heap Leach pad expansions mining fleet additions pre stripping I mean, you name it.

Speaker Change: Any way for you to provide some granularity with where costs are actually coming in availability and all that good stuff versus what you had expected.

George Salamis: Sure.

Heiko Ihle: Maybe more importantly, anything you want to point out that's not as you expected it to be?

Speaker Change: And maybe more importantly, anything you want to.

Speaker Change: Point out Thats, not as you expected it to be.

Greg Robinson: I think the best person to answer that question would be Greg Robinson, the General Manager from Cite. Greg obviously lives his day-to-day operationally, and he can opine regarding cost inflation at Cite.

George Salamis: I think the best person to answer that question would be Greg Robinson, the General Manager from site. Greg obviously lives this day to day operationally, and he can opine regarding cost inflation at site. Greg, do you want to tackle that one?

Speaker Change: I think the best person to answer that question would be Greg Robinson.

Speaker Change: General manager from say Gregg obviously lives this day to day operationally and you can you can opine.

Speaker Change: Pine regarding cost inflation.

Speaker Change: At site.

Greg Robinson: Greg, do you want to tackle that one?

Speaker Change: Do you want to tackle that one.

Greg Robinson: Yeah, I can, I can take it. So, I mean, there's, there's been no big surprises for us here. We are feeling pressures in some areas and, and whatnot, but nothing that, you know, other companies and other minds aren't, aren't facing as well.

Greg Robinson: Yeah, I can take it. There's been no big surprises for us here. We are feeling pressures in some areas and whatnot, but nothing that other companies and other mines aren't facing as well. The biggest thing, like we said for Q1, there's a few kind of smoking gun cost drivers that have temporarily elevated our mining costs a little bit in the form of capital pre-stripping. We're up in the higher reaches of the mine in a couple of pits, and we need to drive through some waste to get at the higher grade ore there. That means we have to put more money into hauling that waste off. That's one of the biggest things. There's also been some tax things associated with the sale and the transition of companies, that we've had to account for in Q1. Yeah, just a few things.

Speaker Change: Yes, I can I can ticket. So I mean, there's there's been no big surprises for US here, we are feeling pressures in some areas and.

Speaker Change: And what not but nothing that you know other companies in other mines aren't are facing as well.

Greg Robinson: The biggest thing, kind of like we said for Q1, there's a, there's a few kind of smoking gun cost drivers that have temporarily elevated our, our mining costs a little bit in the form of capital pre-stripping. We're, we're up in the. higher reaches of the mine and a couple of pits and we need to drive through some waste to get at the higher grade ore there and that means we have to put more money into hauling that waste off.

Speaker Change: The biggest thing kind of like we said for Q1 and there's a there's a few kind of smoking gun.

Speaker Change: Cost drivers that have temporarily elevated our our mining costs a little bit in the form of.

Speaker Change: Capital pre stripping.

Speaker Change: We're up in the.

Speaker Change: Higher reaches of the of the mine in a couple of pits.

Speaker Change: We need to drive through some ways to get at the higher grade ore there and.

Speaker Change: And that means we are.

Speaker Change: We have to put more money into holding that waste often so so thats one of them.

Greg Robinson: biggest things. There's also been some tech things associated with the with the sale and the transition of companies. we've had to account for in Q1. And so, yeah, just a few things. I mean, nothing really out there or completely unanticipated, but it is affecting us in the short term.

Speaker Change: The biggest thing.

Speaker Change: There's been some tax thing.

Speaker Change: To associate with the with the sale in the tradition of companies.

Speaker Change: We've had to we've.

Speaker Change: We've had to account for Q1.

Speaker Change: So yes, just to just a few things I mean nothing really.

Greg Robinson: Nothing really out there or completely unanticipated, but it is affecting us in the short term. I think when we release our guidance here later, right before the Q1 or Q2 results, you'll get a little bit more color on the different cost drivers. That's what we can share right now.

Speaker Change: Ah out there or completely unanticipated, but it is a.

Speaker Change: Affecting us in the short term I think.

Heiko Ila: I think when we release our guidance here later, right before the Q1 or Q2 results, you'll get a little bit more color on the different cost drivers, but that's what we could share. Okay, that's quite helpful. I appreciate it. I'll get back in queue.

Speaker Change: I think when we when we released our guidance here later.

Speaker Change: Right before the Q1 or Q2 results, you'll get a little bit more color on.

Speaker Change: The different cost drivers, but that's what we can share right now.

Heiko Ihle: Okay. That's quite helpful. I appreciate it. I'll get back in queue.

Speaker Change: Sure.

Paul: Paul I appreciate I'll get back in queue.

Greg Robinson: Yeah.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Bill Kerr: Our next question comes from the line of Bill Kerr with Ventum Financial. Please go ahead. Thanks, operator.

Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Phil Ker with Ventum Financial. Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of Bill <unk> with <unk> financial. Please go ahead.

Phil Ker: Thanks, operator. George, you started to touch on the run of mine opportunity. I was just curious maybe what spurred that option. Was it limited to certain units, lithological units that is, and were only available in certain pits at the mine, or was it subject to the rising gold price? Would you see this sustainable moving forward?

Thanks, operator.

George Salamis: George, you started to touch on the run of mine opportunity. I was just curious maybe what spurred that that option, was it limited to certain units, lithological units that is, and it were only available in certain pits at the mine, or was it subject to the rising gold price, and would you see this sustainable moving forward? Yeah, thanks, Phil. I can say that the transition to more run-of-mine heat bleach gold processing really started in earnest three years ago. If you look at the long-term production profiles of the last 10 years, that's when run-of-mine mining kicked in.

Speaker Change: So we're just starting to touch on the run of mine opportunity I was just curious maybe what spurred that.

Speaker Change: That option was it limited to certain units lithological units that is.

Speaker Change: Sure.

Speaker Change: Only available in certain pits at the mine.

Speaker Change: Or was it a subject to you know to the rising gold price and would you see the sustainable moving forward.

George Salamis: Yeah. Thanks, Phil. I can say that the transition to more run of mine heap leach gold processing really sort of started in earnest three years ago, right? If you look at the long-term production profiles of the last 10 years, that's when run of mine mining kicked in, and maybe I'll let Greg hop on the decision to go to that. I can kind of state from a geological perspective, the geological differences between run of mine ore and crushed heap leach ore are very subtle. Our job over the next year is to understand really what makes run of mine ore run of mine ore versus crushed ore. Visibly, there's not a lot of difference between the two of them.

Speaker Change: Yes, so yes. Thanks also.

Speaker Change: I can say that the transition to more run of mine heap Leach gold processing.

Speaker Change: Really sort of started in earnest three years ago right. If you look at the long term production profiles over the last 10 years and Thats win win run of mine.

Speaker Change: Mining kicked in and.

George Salamis: Maybe I'll let Greg hop on the decision to go to that. I can state from a geological perspective the geological differences between run-of-mine ore and crushed heat bleach ore are very subtle. And our job over the next year is to understand really what makes run-of-mine ore a run-of-mine ore versus crushed ore, because visibly there's not a lot of difference between the two of them. We suspect that there's a structural component that forms the difference between those two types of ore, but it's pretty subtle but meaningful, because if we can open up more of those areas to run-of-mine heap leach processing, that opens up a world of opportunity for us as a company.

Speaker Change: Maybe I'll, let Greg to hop on the decision to go to that I can kind of state from a geological perspective.

Speaker Change: The geological differences between run of mine ore and crushed he.

Speaker Change: Heap leach ore are very subtle.

Speaker Change: And our job over the next years to understand what.

Speaker Change: Really what makes run of mine ore run of mine ore versus crushed ore because.

Speaker Change: Visibly there's not a lot of difference between the two of them. We suspect that there is a structural component to two that forms the difference between those two types of ore, but it's.

George Salamis: We suspect that there's a structural component that forms the difference between those two types of ore, but it's pretty subtle but meaningful because if we can open up more of those areas to run of mine heap leach processing, that opens up a world of opportunity for us as a company.

Speaker Change: It's pretty subtle but meaningful because if we can open up more of those areas to run of mine heap Leach processing that.

Speaker Change: That opens up a world of opportunity for us as a company.

Greg Robinson: Yeah, and, and the increased I guess, or you're seeing, you know, could you refresh us on your crushing capacity and what levels you're seeing? Today and and if you're having excess run of mine, you know, would you require further? crushing circuits Yeah, Greg, I might pass that question over to you. Again, you live that day to day. Yep. Yeah, so we're currently plan month in and month out to crush about 600,000 short term short terms a month. The crusher is actually outperforming that and has for quite a while so in in Q1 we we crushed closer to 750,000 tons a month.

Phil Ker: Yeah. The increased, I guess, ore you're seeing, could you refresh us on your crushing capacity and what levels you're seeing today? If you're having excess run of mine, would you require further crushing circuits?

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: And the.

Speaker Change: The increased.

Speaker Change: I guess or you are seeing could.

Speaker Change: Could you refresh us on your crushing capacity and.

Speaker Change: What levels you are seeing.

Speaker Change: Today, and if youre, having excess run of mine would you require further.

Speaker Change: Crushing circuits.

George Salamis: Yeah. Greg, I might pass that question over to you. Again, you live that day to day.

Greg Robinson: Yes, Greg I might pass that question over to you again, you leave that day to day.

Greg Robinson: Yep. Yeah. We currently plan month in and month out to crush about 600,000 short tons a month. The crusher is actually outperforming that and has for quite a while. In Q1, we crushed closer to 750,000 tons a month. That's kind of a view of the scale of our crushing. Run of mine, we typically run about the same amount of run of mine, maybe a little bit less, just depending on what ore is in the pit and what grades. That's kind of the view of production. As George said, we're looking at a lot of different options, not just going to an all run of mine scenario. We're looking at crusher expansions and that kind of thing as well. It's way too early to tell what kind of routes we'll head there.

Speaker Change: Yep.

Speaker Change: Yes, so we're currently.

Speaker Change: The plan month in month out to crush about 600000 short term short tonnes a month.

Speaker Change: The crusher is actually outperforming that and has for quite a while so.

Speaker Change: In Q1, we we crush closer to 750000 tons.

Speaker Change: A month.

Greg Robinson: So that's kind of a view of the scale of our crushing. And then run-of-mine, we typically run about the same amount of runamine, maybe a little bit less, just depending on what ores in the pit and what grades. Um, but, uh, That's, that's kind of the view of production.

Speaker Change: So that's.

Speaker Change: Kind of the.

Speaker Change: Our view of the scale of our crushing and then.

Speaker Change: And then run a mine we typically.

Speaker Change: Run about the same amount of run of mine are maybe a little bit less just depending on what orders in the pit and what grades.

Speaker Change: But.

George Salamis: That's that's kind of the view of production and as George said, we're looking at a lot of different options not just.

Greg Robinson: And as George said, we're looking at a lot of different options, not just, you know, going to an all run-of-mine scenario. We're looking at crusher expansions and that kind of thing as well, so it's way too early to tell what kind of routes we'll head there. We've got to balance our costs and our capital infusion and see what generates the most value. That's kind of a little bit more. Understood. So, yes, still evaluating the options and going through the optimization process.

George Salamis: Going to an all run of mine scenario.

George Salamis: We're looking at crusher expansions and that kind of thing as well so.

George Salamis: We it's way too early to tell what kind of routes will head. There. It's it's you know we got a we got a balance or our costs and our capital infusion and see what generates the most value. So that's that's kind of a little bit more color.

Greg Robinson: We got to balance our costs and our capital infusion and see what generates the most value. That's kind of a little bit more color.

Phil Ker: Understood. Yeah, still evaluating the options and going through the optimization process.

George Salamis: Understood.

George Salamis: We'll still evaluating.

George Salamis: The auctions and then going through the optimization process.

George Salamis: That's right, Phil.

George Salamis: That sounds right.

Greg Robinson: Yep.

Phil Ker: Yeah. Just on the sustaining CapEx, I know you're evaluating mine equipment replacement and so forth. Where are we at with scheduling on some of these larger purchases? We're already through halfway of Q2 here. Is it something that's more weighted and focused on in Q3 or later?

Bill Kerr: Just on the sustaining CapEx, I know you're evaluating mine equipment replacement and so forth.

George Salamis: Yes, yes.

Speaker Change: Just on the sustaining Capex I know you are evaluating.

George Salamis: Mine equipment replacement and so forth.

Greg Robinson: Where are we at with scheduling on some of these larger purchases? We're already through halfway to Q2 here. Is it something that's more weighted and focused on in Q3 or later? Yeah, Greg, Greg and team have done a very thorough job at studying the fleet and the fleet alternatives. And I think that they were sort of 10 to 15 different iterations of what we could do, what could be done with that fleet that involved sort of maintenance on some of the fleet and maybe a combination or a mix or hybrid view of a bit of maintenance plus some new equipment.

George Salamis: Where are we at with scheduling on some of these larger purchases and we're already through.

George Salamis: Halfway of Q2 here is that something thats.

George Salamis: More weighted and focused on in Q3 or later.

George Salamis: Yeah, Greg and team have done a very thorough job at studying the fleet and the fleet alternatives, and I think that there were sort of 10 to 15 different iterations of what we could do, what could be done with that fleet that involved sort of maintenance on some of the fleet and maybe a combination or a mix or hybrid view of a bit of maintenance plus some new equipment that those studies, I guess, will come into kind of fruition here in the H2. Greg, I don't know if you've got anything to add to that.

George Salamis: Yes, Greg Greg and team have done a.

George Salamis: Very thorough job at studying the fleet and the fleet alternatives and I think that there were some sort of.

George Salamis: 10 to 15 different iterations of what we could do what could be done with that fleet that that involve sort of maintenance.

George Salamis: Maintenance on.

George Salamis: On some of the fleet and maybe a combination of mix of hybrid view of of a bit of maintenance plus some new equipment.

Greg Robinson: That those studies, I guess, will come into kind of fruition here in the second half of the year. Greg, I don't know if you've got anything to add to that. No, not really, except that, as you said, we evaluated a lot of different options. Everything was pretty much on the table and we We did a lot of homework and now we're just kind of in the final analysis and compiling all that into a final recommendation that we can. Hopefully go ahead and pick, kind of settle on the end product and place some orders. put it into service.

George Salamis: That those studies I guess, we'll come into kind of fruition here in the second half of the year, Greg I don't know if you've got anything to add to that.

Greg Robinson: No, not really, except that as you said, we evaluated a lot of different options. Everything was pretty much on the table. We did a lot of homework. Now we're just kind of in the final analysis and compiling all that into a final recommendation that we can hopefully go ahead and pick, kind of settle on the end product and place some orders and put it into service.

George Salamis: No not really accepted that as you said, we evaluated a lot of different options everything was pretty much on the table and we.

George Salamis: We.

George Salamis: Did a lot of homework and now we're just kind of in the final analysis and compiling all that into a final recommendation that we can.

George Salamis: Hopefully go ahead and.

George Salamis: Uh huh.

George Salamis: Kind of.

George Salamis: Set alone settle on the.

George Salamis: And product.

George Salamis: Some orders in.

George Salamis: Put it into service.

Bill Kerr: And George, do you think we'll have more clarification on scheduling of deployment of this capital when you provide guidance, I guess, in June? Yeah, most definitely, Phil. And the fleet will be kind of the top of the list of things that we'll be initiating in the second half that will require capital to be deployed, for sure. But we're coming to some pretty quick conclusions on that. And yes, we will talk about that in our guidance before we put out Q2 sometime towards the end of June.

Phil Ker: George, you think we'll have more clarification on scheduling of deployment of this capital when you provide guidance, I guess, in June?

Jason Bender: And George do you think you'll have more clarification on scheduling of deployment of this capital when you provide guidance I guess in June.

George Salamis: Yeah. Most definitely, Phil. The fleet will be kind of the top of the list of things that we'll be initiating in H2 that will require capital to be deployed, for sure. We're coming to some pretty quick conclusions on that. Yes, we will talk about that in our guidance before we put out Q2, sometime towards the end of June.

George Salamis: Yes, most definitely so.

George Salamis: That and the fleet will be kind of the top of the list of things that we'll be initiating in the second half that will require capital to be deployed for sure, but we're coming to some pretty quick conclusions on that.

George Salamis: And yes, we will talk about that in our AR and our guidance before we put out Q2 sometime towards the end of June.

Phil Ker: Okay. Very good. Last one on permitting, George. In your discussions in Washington, did you get a sense of urgency surrounding permits or just advancement in new projects in general across the US? Just under Trump's presidential regime, I'm just curious if there's just some sort of urgency, maybe even prior to midterm elections, that could impact the approval of whether it's DeLamar or other projects across the country.

Speaker Change: Okay very good and then last one on permitting George in your discussions in Washington.

George Salamis: And then last one on permitting, George, in your discussions in Washington. Did you get a sense of urgency surrounding permits or just advancement in new projects in general across the U.S.?

Speaker Change: Did you get a sense of urgency surrounding permits or.

Speaker Change: Just advancement in new projects in general across the U S.

George Salamis: And just under Trump's presidential regime, I'm just curious if there's just some sort of urgency, you know, maybe even prior to midterm elections that could impact the and the approval of, you know, whether it's Delamar or other projects across the country. Yeah, that's a great question. And, and the answer is yes, there's there's definitely a sense of urgency that that we picked up on during our during our days in DC last week. I can't say that that the the Trump administration, you know, it clearly wanted to develop more mines and permit more mines. There never once did it come up anything to the extent that they want to cut on the amount of, you know, environmental study work that's involved in, you know, your typical NEPA process, for example, there's no talk of that.

Speaker Change: And just under this under Trump's presidential regime I'm just curious if there is.

Speaker Change: So just some sort of urgency maybe even prior to midterm elections that could.

Speaker Change: Impact the.

Speaker Change: Your approval, whether it's dilemma or other projects across the country.

George Salamis: That's a great question, and the answer is yes. There's definitely a sense of urgency that we picked up on during our days in DC last week. I can say that the Trump administration, it clearly wanted to develop more mines and permit more mines. Never once did it come up anything to the extent that they want to cut down on the amount of environmental study work that's involved in your typical NEPA process, for example. There's no talk of that. What they do or did address with us consistently from one office to the other was, their intention is to keep permitting moving through the pipeline. In other words, to not have it derailed by excessive turnaround times, response times from government offices, be it either at the state level or at the federal level.

Speaker Change: Yeah, that's a great question.

Speaker Change: And the answer is yes, there is definitely a sense of urgency that we picked up on during our during our days in D. C last week.

Speaker Change: Can't say that the the Trump administration. It clearly wanted to develop more mines and permit more mines.

Speaker Change: They're never once did it come up anything to the extent that they want to cut down on the amount of you know.

Speaker Change: Environmental study work that's involved in your typical NEPA process. For example, there's no talk of that what what they do where did addressed with us consistently from one office to the other was.

George Salamis: What, what they do or did address with us consistently from one office to the other was, you know, their intention is to keep permitting moving. through the pipeline. In other words, to not have it derailed by excessive turnaround times, response times from government offices, be it either at the state level or at the federal level. Their view is where things have hung up in the past have been in those turnaround time delays that the government has been or the regulators have been responsible for. They've committed to really strict, well-defined timelines. and that was music to our ears.

Speaker Change: Their intention is to keep permitting moving.

Speaker Change: Through through the pipeline in other words to not have it derailed by excessive turnaround times response times from government offices be it either at the state level or at the federal level. Their view is where things have hung up in the past have been in those turnaround time delays that the debt the debt the.

George Salamis: Their view is where things have hung up in the past have been in those turnaround time delays that the government has been, or the regulators have been responsible for. They've committed to really strict, well-defined timelines now, and that was music to our ears. As you know, Phil, I've worked in different parts of the world, permitted different mining operations. I've never heard that kind of level of consistent commitment from one office to the other during the course of a visit. Yeah, that was music to our ears for sure.

Speaker Change: <unk> has been or the regulators have been responsible for they and they've committed to really strict well defined timelines now and that was music to our ears.

George Salamis: I've never heard anything, you know, as you know, Phil, I've worked in different parts of the world, permitted different mining operations. I've never heard that kind of level of consistent commitment from one office to the other during the course of a visit. So yeah, that was music to our ears for sure. Okay, that's great. Looking forward to being on site in a few weeks.

Speaker Change: I've never heard anything as you know Phil I've worked in different parts of the world permitted different mining operations I've never heard that kind of level of consistent commitment from one office to the other.

Speaker Change: During the course of a visit so that was music to our ears for sure.

Phil Ker: Okay. That's great. Looking forward to being on site in a few weeks. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Okay, that's great looking forward to being a few weeks.

Speaker Change: Do you.

George Salamis: See you soon, Phil.

Speaker Change: See you soon.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Ingrid Rico: Again, to ask a question, press star 1, and our next question comes from the line of Ingrid Rico with Stiepl. Please go ahead.

Operator: Again, to ask a question, press star one. Our next question comes from the line of Ingrid Rico with Stifel. Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Again to ask a question press Star one and our next question comes from the line of Ingrid Rico with Stifel. Please go ahead.

Ingrid Rico: Hi, good morning, George, and the Integra team. Thank you for for hosting the call and congrats on your first full quarter of being a junior producer. A lot of my questions have been asked by the privates to to people.

Ingrid Rico: Hi. Good morning, George and the Integra team. Thank you for hosting the call, and congrats on your first full quarter of being a junior producer. A lot of my questions have been asked by the privates to people. I guess I'll ask a little bit more on the operational and dig a little bit more, recognizing that there's no official guidance quite yet. Something that was notable, I guess on Q1, was strong production, but the grades were a little bit lighter than what it was last year and what you guys have been disclosing on the technical report. How do we think about that production side of things for the rest of the year?

Ingrid Rico: Hi, Good morning, George and Integra team. Thank you for hosting the call and congrats on your first full quarter of being a junior producer.

Speaker Change: A lot of my questions have been asked by the private do you cable.

George Salamis: But I will, I guess I'll ask a little bit more on the operational and do a little bit more recognizing that there's no official guidance quite yet. But something that was notable, I guess, on Q1 was strong production, but the grades were a little bit lighter than, you know, what it was last year and what you guys have been disclosing on a technical report. So, you know, how do we think about that production side of things for the rest of the year?

Speaker Change: So people are but I will I guess I'll ask a little bit more on the on the operation at all and do you get a little bit more recognizing that there is no official guidance quite yet.

Speaker Change: But something that was notable I guess on Q1 was a strong production, but the grades were a little bit lighter than what it was last year and what do you guys have been disclosing on a technical report. So how do we think about that production side of things for the rest of the year.

Greg Robinson: And then on Greg's comments of, you know, there were some sort of temporary elevated costs in Q1, what are sort of the levers for the remaining quarters on those sort of operating costs that could see that being, you know, slightly better than Q1?

Ingrid Rico: On Greg's comments of there were some sort of temporary elevated costs in Q1, what are sort of the levers for the remaining quarters on those sort of operating costs that could see that being slightly better than Q1?

Speaker Change: Then on Greg's comments.

Speaker Change: Or some sort of temporary elevated costs in Q1, what is sort of the de lever.

Speaker Change: For the remaining quarters on those sort of operating cost.

Speaker Change: That could do that.

Speaker Change: Slightly better than Q1.

George Salamis: Okay. Thanks, Ingrid. Yeah, Greg, I think you're well off the curve with respect to the grade ranges of material you're mining now versus what you plan to mine grade-wise in the H2 of this year or this quarter leading into the H2 of this year. Greg, over to you.

Speaker Change: Okay. Thanks, Hey, great and Yeah, Greg I think Europe will up the curve with respect to the the grade ranges and material you are mining now versus.

Greg Robinson: Greg, I think you're well off the curve with respect to the grade ranges of material you're mining now versus what you plan to mine grade-wise in the second half of this year or this quarter leading into the second half of this year. So, Greg, over to you. Yeah, for sure. I mentioned that we were starting to develop some pits in the upper reaches of the mine. We have to drive through some ways to do that, and you know, we are hitting some ore along the way. That ore tends to be a little bit lower grade, and as we start hitting more and more ore in those pits, as we get deeper in those, the grade will begin to improve over time.

Speaker Change: What you plan to mine grade wise in the second half of this year or the or this quarter leading into the second half of this year, so Greg over to you.

Greg Robinson: Yeah, for sure. I mentioned that we were starting to develop some pits in the upper reaches of the mine. We have to drive through some waste to do that. We are hitting some ore along the way. That ore tends to be a little bit lower grade. As we start hitting more and more ore in those pits, as we get deeper in those, the grade will begin to improve over time. We do expect to be in better grades in the H2 of the year. It'll take a little bit to develop some of those. Overall, yeah, we've seen a little bit of a dip in grade that started really late last year. It's all because of this, because we're

Speaker Change: Yes for sure.

Speaker Change: <unk> mentioned that we were.

Speaker Change: Starting to develop some pits in the upper reaches of the mine.

We have to drive through some ways to do that and we are hitting some ore along the way that or tends to be a little bit lower grade.

Speaker Change: And as we start hitting more and more ore in those pits as we get deeper and those.

Speaker Change: The grade will begin to improve over time.

Greg Robinson: We do expect to be in better grades in the second half of the year, but it will take a little bit to develop some of that. So overall, yeah, we've seen a little bit of a dip in gray that started really late last year, but it's all because of this, because we're just developing newer pits and it just takes a little while to get it kind of into the heart of the ore in those areas.

Speaker Change: We do expect to be in better grades in the second half of the year.

Speaker Change: But it'll take a little bit to develop some of those.

Speaker Change: No.

Speaker Change: Overall, yeah, we've seen a little bit of a dip in grid. It started really late last year, but it's it's all because of this because were just stability newer pits.

George Salamis: Just developing newer pits, and it just takes a little while to get it cut into the heart of the ore in those areas.

Speaker Change: And.

Speaker Change: It just takes a little while to get it cut it into the heart of the ore in those areas.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Ingrid Rico: Okay, that's excellent.

Ingrid Rico: Okay. That's excellent. I guess my next question, just touching on the permitting, and it's great to hear, George, the development there both at Delamar and Nevada North. Just mostly on Nevada North would be my question. You answered the last question about the turnaround times and that commitment from the state level on improving that. Maybe some thoughts on that and maybe what sort of the plan there to hit on the exploration this year and next year, for Nevada North.

Speaker Change: Okay, that's excellent and I guess my next question just touching on the on the permitting and it's great to hear George.

Ingrid Rico: And I guess my next question, just touching on the permitting, and it's great to hear George, the development there, both at Delamere and Nevada North, but, you know, just mostly on Nevada North would be my question. So, you answered the last question about the turnaround times and that commitment from sort of the state level on improving that. You know, maybe some thoughts on that and maybe, you know, what's sort of the plan there to hit on the exploration this year and next year for Nevada North? Yeah, so with respect to permitting at Nevada North right now, the last hurdle, if you will, with respect to receiving our expiration plan of operations, which as you might recall, Ingrid, would allow us to do a lot more on the ground without being sort of restrained by the five acre disturbance rule, that's currently sitting in an office at an office level at the state level called SHPO, which is basically, it's the historical resource group, if you will, that basically approves, you know, cultural studies that have been done on the project.

Speaker Change: The development there, both at Delaware, and Nevada, North but.

Speaker Change: Mostly on Nevada noise that would be my question. So you answered the last question about the turnaround times in that commitment.

Speaker Change: Instead at the state level and improving that.

Speaker Change: Maybe some thoughts on that and maybe you know.

Speaker Change: What sort of the plan there to head on the exploration.

Speaker Change: Next year bring about annoying.

George Salamis: Yeah. With respect to permitting at Nevada North right now, the last hurdle, if you will, with respect to receiving our exploration plan of operations, which is, you might recall, Ingrid, would allow us to do a lot more on the ground without being restrained by the five-acre disturbance rule. That's currently sitting at an office level, at the state level called SHPO, which is basically, it's the historical resource group, if you will, that basically approves cultural studies that have been done on the project. That file's been sitting there for a while. It has nothing to do with the validity of the file. It's been reviewed and picked over with comments, received and responded to. The reason why it hasn't really gone anywhere is that up until very recently, there's been nobody leading that charge.

Speaker Change: Yeah, so with respect to permitting it at Nevada, North right now that the the the last hurdle. If you will with respect to receiving our exploration plan of operations, which as you might recall in grid.

Speaker Change: Would allow us to to do a lot more on the ground without being restrained by the two five acre disturbance rule.

Speaker Change: That's currently sitting in an office.

Speaker Change: At an office level at the state level called <unk>, which is basically it's the historical resource.

Speaker Change: Group, if you will that basically approved.

Speaker Change: Sure studies that have been done on the project.

George Salamis: And, you know, that file has been sitting there for a while. It has nothing to do with the validity of the file. It's been reviewed and picked over with comments, you know, received and responded to. The reason why it hasn't really gone anywhere is that there, up until very recently, there's been nobody leading that charge. There has been, at that particular office, a hollowing out, if you will, of personnel to review files. So we're encouraged by the fact that they are jumping back in on that file to retake control of that. Regardless, there are things that we can do at Nevada North to de-risk that project.

Speaker Change: That file has been sitting there for a while.

Speaker Change: Has nothing to do with the validity of the file it's been it's been reviewed and picked over with comments received and responded to the reason why it hasn't really gone anywhere or is that theyre up until very recently, there's been nobody leading that charge and they were there has been at that particular office a hollowing out if you will of personnel to review files. So.

George Salamis: There has been, at that particular office, a hollowing out, if you will, of personnel to review files. We're encouraged by the fact that they are jumping back in on that file to retake control of that. Regardless, there are things that we can do at Nevada North to de-risk that project. It's a great project, obviously, we're viewing it, more or less as an extension of Florida Canyon due to its proximity. There are things we can do to de-risk the project to take it from PEA to PFS, but things that will also help with respect to environmental permitting. For example, when we talk about geochemical sampling, that's, as you know, humidity cells, you have to do them to basically assess the level of acid generation that could or could not occur.

Speaker Change: We're encouraged by the fact that there that they are.

Speaker Change: Jumping back in on that final to take to retain control of that.

Speaker Change: Regardless there are things that we can do on at Nevada, North to Derisk that project. It's a great project, obviously, we're viewing it more or less as an extension of Florida Canyon due to its proximity and.

George Salamis: It's a great project. Obviously, you know, we're viewing it, you know, more or less as an extension of Florida Canyon due to its proximity. And, you know, there are things that we can do to de-risk the project, to take it from PEA to PFS, but, you know, things that will also help with respect to environmental permitting. For example, you know, when we talk about geochemical sampling, that's, you know, as you know, humidity cells, you have to do them to basically assess the level of acid generation that could or could not occur. And, you know, that sort we can do, you know, without waiting for, you know, an expiration plan of operations.

Speaker Change: There are things that we can do to Derisk the project to take it from pega to PFS, but.

Speaker Change: Things that will also help with respect to environmental permitting for example, when we talk about geochemical sampling.

Speaker Change: As you know humidity cells, you have to do them to basically assess the level of asset generation that could or could not occur and that sort of test work, we can do with that.

George Salamis: That sort of test work we can do without waiting for an exploration plan of operations. We can do that sort of thing. Through the fortuitous nature of producing gold right now at Florida Canyon, providing more cash to us, we have the ability to do a lot more at Nevada North than we thought even 6 months ago. Things like that geochemical sampling, things like metallurgical drilling, things like hydrogeological drilling, things like that will feed into both permitting and a PFS study at Nevada North. We didn't think we'd be able to do that this year. Now we're very clearly on a path to do that work in H2 of this year.

Speaker Change: Waiting for.

Speaker Change: And exploration plan of operations, we can we can do that sort of thing.

George Salamis: We can do that sort of thing. Through the fortuitous nature of producing gold right now at Florida Canyon, providing more cash to us, we have the ability to do a lot more at Nevada North than we thought even six months ago. So things like that geochemical sampling, things like metallurgical drilling, things like hydrogeological drilling, things like that, that will feed into both permitting and a PFS study at Nevada North. We didn't think we'd be able to do that this year. Now we're very clearly on a path to do that work in the second half of this year.

Speaker Change: Through the.

Speaker Change: Through the fortuitous nature of producing gold right now, Florida Canyon, providing more cash to us.

Speaker Change: We have the ability to do a lot more at Nevada, North and we thought even six months ago.

Speaker Change: So things like that geochemical sampling things like Ben allergic drilling things like hydro geological drilling things like that that will feed into both permitting and a PFS study at Nevada, North we didn't think we'd be able to do that this year now we're very clearly on a path to do that work.

Speaker Change: In the second half of this year.

Ingrid Rico: Okay, understood. That's great. Just, quickly, if you can remind me, so the exploration plan of operations, once you receive that, do you have to continuously keep doing those for continuing to do the drilling and de-risking, or is this the one that we need, and we will have kind of a path for that for Nevada North?

George Salamis: Okay, understood. That's great. And just quickly, if you can remind me, so the exploration plan of operation. Once you receive that, you know, do you have to continuously keep doing those for, you know, continuing to do the drilling and de-risking or is this the one that we need? we will have kind of a path for that for Nevada. Yeah, so I guess the good news, Ingrid, is, if you recall from the PEA, a large measure, and I'm going to say, you know, I'm going to throw a number out there, 90% of the resource that was used in the study was M&I category.

Speaker Change: Okay, I understand and that's great and just a quickly if you can remind me so the exploration lineup operations once you receive that.

Speaker Change: Do you have to continuously keep doing those for continuing to do the drilling and de risking or is the one that we need.

Speaker Change: We will have kind of a path for that for the bottom of it.

George Salamis: Yeah. I guess the good news, Ingrid Rico, is if you recall from the PEA, a large measure, and I'm going to throw a number out there, 90% of the resource that was used in the study was M&I category. There's not a lot of resource conversion that needs to happen there. We will have to do some drilling, and obviously, having an exploration plan of operations will help that, but that's not a major campaign. Same for hydrogeological drilling, same for metallurgical drilling, all of that. That's not a big cost. The expectation is that work will get started sometime this year, and we can really start doing the baseline study work that's required to advance the project in an expectation of getting that project permitted through an EA as opposed to EIS. We'll see about that one, obviously, but that's our intent still.

Ingrid Rico: Yes, so I guess the good news Ingrid is.

Ingrid Rico: You recall from the PAA.

Speaker Change: A large measure and I'm going to say I'm going to throw a number out there 90% of the other resource that was used in the in the study was MNI category. So theres not a lot of resource conversion that needs to happen. There. We will have to do some drilling and obviously, having an exploration plan of operations will help that.

George Salamis: So there's not a lot of resource conversion that needs to happen there. We will have to do some drilling and obviously having an exploration plan of operations will help that, but that's not a major campaign. Same for hydrogeological drilling, same for metallurgical drilling, all of that, you know, that's not a big cost. So, the expectation is that work will get started sometime this year, and we can really sort of start doing the baseline study work that's required to advance the project in an expectation of getting that project permitted through an EA, as opposed to EIS.

Ingrid Rico: But that's not that's not a major campaign.

Ingrid Rico: Same for hydro geological drilling same for metallurgical drilling all of that.

Ingrid Rico: That's not a that's not a big cost.

Ingrid Rico: So the expectation is that work well, we'll get started sometime this year and we can really sort of run the start start doing the baseline study work that's required to advance the project in an expectation of getting that project permitted through any as opposed to Eas will see it.

George Salamis: We'll see about that one, obviously, but that's our intent still.

Ingrid Rico: That one obviously, but that's our intent still.

Ingrid Rico: Okay. Excellent. Well, thank you for that, and also, looking forward to that site visit to Florida Canyon.

Ingrid Rico: Okay.

Ingrid Rico: Excellent. Well, thank you for that and also looking forward to that site visit to Florida County. Thanks, Ingrid. We'll see you in a couple weeks.

Ingrid Rico: Excellent.

Ingrid Rico: Thank you for that.

Speaker Change: I'm also looking forward to that type of it two for Kenny.

George Salamis: Thanks, Ingrid. We'll see you in a couple of weeks, I guess.

Ingrid Rico: Thanks, Ingrid we will see you in a couple of weeks I guess.

Regina: And there are no further questions at this time.

Operator: There are no further questions at this time. Mr. Salamis, I will turn the call back over to you.

Speaker Change: And there are no further questions at this time, Mr. Solomon now I'll turn the call back over to you.

George Salamis: Mr. Salamis, I'll turn the call back over to you. Well, great. Thanks. And I'd like to thank everybody for attending the call. Obviously, you know, we're all excited here over at Integra. We appreciate the support from our shareholders. We really look forward to providing, you know, other formal updates, you know, going forward. Obviously, the next big one will be guidance. You know, along the way, there are other things. The news flow is going to be, you know, pretty fast and furious here coming up for balance of the year, be it guidance, be it exploration results, be it other things to do with permitting at Delamar, for example.

George Salamis: Well, great. Thanks. I'd like to thank everybody for attending the call. Obviously, we're all excited here over at Integra. We appreciate the support from our shareholders. We really look forward to providing other formal updates going forward. Obviously, the next big one will be guidance. Along the way, there are other things.

We're really excited. Just sort of last but not least, don't hesitate to reach out to either myself or Jason Kosec or anybody at the Integra team if you have any follow-up questions whatsoever.

Ingrid Rico: Well great. Thanks.

Speaker Change: I'd like to thank everybody for attending the call. Obviously, we're all excited here over at Integra. We appreciate the support from from our shareholders.

Speaker Change: We really look forward to providing other formula updates going forward, obviously, the next big one would be guidance.

Speaker Change: Along the way there are other things that the new slope is going to be pretty pretty fast and furious here coming up for the balance of the year at <unk>.

Speaker Change: Guidance be at exploration results.

Speaker Change: Be it other things to do with permitting at del Mar for example, so we're really excited.

George Salamis: So we're really excited. And just sort of last but not least, you know, don't hesitate to reach out to either myself or Jason Banducci or anybody at the Integra team if you have any follow-up questions whatsoever. You know, there's a facility on our website that you can use to schedule a with senior management here to ask any questions that you might have. So we're always happy to hop on a call with anybody.

Speaker Change: And just sort of last but not least don't hesitate to reach out to either myself or adjacent Ben do chi or anybody at the Integra team. If you have any follow up questions whatsoever.
