VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 29, 2014) - Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing information and consultation initiatives.

As part of the Company's ongoing commitment to take a proactive approach to the project consultation process, a public information meeting was held in Val-d'Or, Québec, on January 28, 2013. The purpose of the meeting was to present the status of the project, discuss the potential impact and benefits for the Val-d'Or community, and gather insight and feedback from residents. The meeting was well attended, with over 250 residents and stakeholders in attendance. Management was encouraged by the feedback received and the readily apparent level of community support for the Lamaque mining project. Integra remains committed to working with the people of Val-d'Or to build a development plan for the Lamaque Project that will maximize benefits for both the community and Company shareholders.

This public information session concludes the Company's first phase of its public consultation process which focused primarily on identifying potential stakeholders, informing the public and community of Integra's objectives, and gathering feedback which will be used when building the project's development plan. Over the past three months more than 24 private and public meetings have been held with stakeholders. The Company will be providing an update on its plans for the second phase of its information and consultation process in the near future. Information regarding public meetings and project updates will be published on the Company's website as it becomes available.
