Ryan Walker, an analyst with Echelon Wealth Partners, reported in a Feb. 6 research note that recent drill results from Integra Resources Corp.'s (ITR:TSX.V; IRRZF:OTCQB) DeLamar project in Idaho expanded one zone and delineated a new anomaly. "We contend that the latest results tend to support the regional prospectivity of the land package assembled by Integra Resources," Walker commented.
The analyst reviewed the results.
Drilling, for one, extended the 1.2 kilometer (1.2 km)-long, gold-silver mineralized zone on the War Eagle property in the southeast corner of DeLamar another 300 meters (300m), Walker indicated. Mineralization in the War Eagle zone remains open.
Two, about 3 km to the west of War Eagle and due east of Florida Mountain, Integra outlined a "new, 1,400m by 600m, high-intensity, gold-silver-arsenic-molybdenum in-soil anomaly," relayed Walker. Because it shares roughly the same size and intensity as the resource envelope at Florida Mountain, the anomaly "represents potential to add shallow oxide and transitional mineralized material amenable to heap leaching," he commented.
Walker also provided the recent highlight assays from DeLamar, which were 5.4 grams per ton (5.4 g/t) gold and 45.85 g/t silver over 3.05m (from 227.99m downhole) in Hole IWE19-06. Hole IWE19-04 returned 2.98 g/t gold and 7.27 g/t silver over 3.05m (160.93m). Hole IWE19-05 showed 3.29 g/t gold and 155.57 g/t silver over 0.30m (319.13m).
Regarding the two primary findings at DeLamar, Walker wrote, Integra plans to drill another 5,000m in the War Eagle zone this year to define high-grade shoots there and to have an induced polarization survey over the anomaly carried out this summer.
Echelon increased its target price on Integra Resources to CA$2.25 per share from CA$1.50 because it moved to a valuation based on discounted cash flow. The target includes a 1.0x multiple representing a premium to peers, which is warranted because Integra's DeLamar project is of a strategic size, substantial exploration remains there and the project is in a geopolitically stable and mining friendly jurisdiction. In comparison, Integra, rated Speculative Buy, is trading now at around CA$1.24 per share.
