INTEGRA GOLD CORP. (The "Company") is pleased to announce that it has begun its 2012 drill program on the Triangle Zone as recommended in the Estimate of Resources and Modeling of the Triangle Sector report released on November 16, 2011.

The Company objective in 2012 is to increase gold ounces and resource category within four of thirteen specific gold zones. The significant average gold grades of 18.73 g/t inferred and 13.51 g/t indicated resources discovered in the Triangle zone makes this a high priority zone to drill for the Company.

The recent purchase by the Company of the Donald Property east and directly adjacent to the Triangle Zone has fully opened exploration to the east allowing Company exploration to follow the tonalite intrusive sill hosting the mineralized zone. With the removal of claim boundary restrictions additional drilling beyond the 12 holes recommended in the Triangle Sector report is being contemplated.

"Drilling the Triangle Zone fits into the Company's 2012 objective of focusing its exploration efforts on areas with proven high-grade resources and that demonstrate the most potential to expand. The Triangle Zone's significantly higher than average gold grades found in the Val d'Or mining camp not only increases the overall value of the project but also has the potential to positively influence the various production scenarios we are currently considering," comments Company President and CEO, John de Jong. "The Triangle Zone and the nearby #4 Plug continue to be one of several 'sweet' spots in the Lamaque Gold Project."

The Triangle Zone is located in the south-east portion of the Lamaque Gold Project, approximately 400 meters south of the # 4 Plug reporting an inferred historic resource of 1,042,258 metric tonnes grading 9.43 g/t for 315,975 ounces of gold.

Other Updates




-- Sixteen Zone mineral resource estimate report and modeling was delayed

due to the need to assay additional core samples and is now currently

underway



-- Remaining 7 drill hole core assays for the Parallel zone are being

received and compiled



-- Integra Gold will be at PDAC (booth # 3147)and can be located in the

Core Shack (booth #5026)

Company and Gold Project Location

Integra's Lamaque Gold Project is located in the Val-d'Or gold camp in the Province of Quebec, Canada, which is rated one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Infrastructure, human resources and mining expertise are readily accessible.

The Company's 62 million shares are tightly held by a number of private investors, institutions and a major gold producer, Shandong Gold International Mining Ltd. The Company's focus is to advance gold zones demonstrating potential for open pit mining and where gold resources can be added quickly to the reported gold resource of 2,335,530 metric tons, average grade 6.91 g/t gold for 518,643 ounces Troy gold inferred and 800,799 metric tons, average grade 6.33 g/t for 162,962 ounces Troy gold indicated.

The gold project shares its northeastern border with the producing Sigma Mine which has produced 4.7 million ounces of gold to date and has reported significant gold resources and reserves. On its northwest border the Main Plug produced the majority of its 4.7 million ounces of gold for the historic Lamaque Mine. The Agnico-Eagle Goldex Mine, located approximately 6 kilometers west, reported reserves of 3.4 million gold ounces (mine closed recently due to engineering difficulties), and directly west of Goldex is the producing Osisko Mine reporting reserves of 10.71 million ounces of gold.

The Lamaque Property is located about 550 km northwest of Montreal, Quebec. The property consists of four (4) contiguous mining concessions and twenty (20) mining claims for a total of 1,459 hectares, owned 100% by Integra.

QUALITY ASSURANCE - QUALITY CONTROL

Thorough quality assurance and quality control program (QA/QC) protocol was utilized on the project including duplicate, blank and standard samples for all the holes. The core samples were respectively submitted directly to ALS Laboratory Group and Bourlamaque Labs in Val-d'Or for preparation and analysis. Analysis was conducted on 1 assay ton samples. Analysis of gold was by fire assay, with a gravimetric finish on samples exceeding 5 g/t gold. The gravimetric assay results were used for the reported composite intervals. The Lamaque project exploration is under the direct supervision of Alain Beauregard, P.Geol.,of Geologica Inc., an independent qualified person as designated by National Instrument 43-101, and Daniel Gaudreault, ing., Geol., an independent qualified person as designated by National Instrument 43-101, who has reviewed the technical content of this release.
