NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Dec. 9, 2013) - Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has arranged a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of flow through shares and non-flow through units on a best efforts basis at a price of $0.26 per Quebec Flow Through Share (the "Quebec Flow Through Shares") and $0.17 per Non-Flow Through Unit (the "Non-Flow Through Units"), for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3,500,000 (the "Offering").

The Company has confirmed interest of approximately $3,100,000 and anticipates closing a first tranche of the Offering on or about December 18, 2013. The private placement is subject to certain conditions, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The shares will be subject to a statutory four month hold period. Final closing date for the offering is anticipated to be approximately January 30, 2014.

"In spite of the challenging commodities market, we are encouraged by the continued support we have received from both existing shareholders and new investors. This financing will enable us to maintain our aggressive exploration and development plans at the Lamaque Project," commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong. "It is through exploration and development that we build value for our shareholders, and we expect 2014 to be a banner year for the Company and its supporters. To ensure our ability to deliver on the various milestones we have set out, we felt it was prudent for the Company to start the new year well capitalized."

The proceeds from the issuance of the National or Quebec Flow Through Shares will qualify as Canadian and/or Quebec exploration expenses which will be renounced to investors no later than December 31, 2013. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering primarily for expenditures on the Company's Lamaque property and for general working capital.

Each National or Quebec Flow Through Share will consist of one flow through common share and no warrant. Each Non-Flow Through Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole Non-Flow Through warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.26 for 18 months following completion of the Offering. Should the Company's Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at a weighted average price of greater than $0.45 for any ten consecutive trading day period the Company may, on written notice to the holders of the Warrants, reduce the exercise period of the Warrants to a date that is not less than 30 days from the date of the notice. The maximum shares issued will be 20,588,235. The Company reserves the right to increase the size of the private placement or to modify the type, nature and/or price.

A finder's fee may be paid in connection with the offering. The Company will allocate a portion of the financing to subscribers found by Secutor Capital Management Corp., an Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada member firm.
