If determined appropriate by the Corporation to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 7.1(2), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such Capital Reorganization, enter into an agreement which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Agreement with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Subscription Receiptholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Subscription Receiptholder is entitled on the exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any agreement entered into between the Corporation, the Underwriters, the Private Placement Subscriber and the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1(2) shall be a supplemental agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 hereof.  Any agreement entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Subscription Receipt Agent shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 7.1 and which shall apply to successive reclassification, reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances;


- 37 -

(3) if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date (or an Over-Allotment Closing Date) and prior to the Release Date, the Corporation shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares pursuant to which those holders are entitled to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Shares or Convertible Securities within a period of 45 days from the date of issue thereof at a price, or at a conversion price, of less than 95% of the Current Market Price at the record date for such distribution (any such issuance being herein called a "Rights Offering" and Common Shares that may be acquired in exercise of the Rights Offering or upon conversion of the Convertible Securities offered by the Rights Offering being herein called the "Offered Shares"), the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Rights Offering to an Exchange Ratio that is the product of (1) the Exchange Ratio in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering plus (ii) the number of Offered Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering or the maximum number of Offered Shares into which the Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as the case may be; and (b) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering; and (ii) the number arrived at when (A) either the product of (1) the number of Offered Shares so offered and (2) the price at which those Common Shares are offered, or the product of (3) the conversion price thereof and (4) the maximum number of Offered Shares for or into which the Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as the case may be, is divided by (B) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date. 

Any Offered Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation; if all the rights, options or warrants are not so issued or if all rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exchange Ratio shall be readjusted to the Exchange Ratio in effect immediately prior to the record date and the Exchange Ratio shall be further adjusted based upon the number of Offered Shares (or Convertible Securities into Offered Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date;

(4) if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date (or an Over-Allotment Closing Date) and prior to the Release Date, the Corporation shall issue or distribute to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares, or (ii) rights, options or warrants other than in connection with the Rights Offering, or (iii) evidences of indebtedness, or (iv) any other assets and that issuance or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of those events being herein called a "Special Distribution"), the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for purposes of the  Special Distribution to an Exchange Ratio that is the product of (1) the Exchange Ratio in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date plus the number of Underlying Shares which the Subscription Receiptholders would be entitled to receive upon conversion of all their outstanding Subscription Receipts if the Underlying Shares were issued on the record date and (ii) the Current Market Price thereof on that date; and (b) the denominator of which shall be the product of (A) the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date plus the number of Underlying Shares which the Subscription Receiptholders would be entitled to receive upon conversion of all their outstanding Subscription Receipts if the Underlying Shares were issued on the record date and (B) the Current Market Price thereof on that date, less, the aggregate fair market value, as determined by the directors, whose determination shall, subject to the approval of any stock exchange(s) on which the Common Shares are then listed and posted for trading (if applicable) and absent manifest error, be conclusive, of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets issued or distributed in the Special Distribution.


- 38 -

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.  To the extent that the distribution of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets if not so made or to the extent that any rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised, the Exchange Ratio shall be readjusted to the Exchange Ratio that would then be in effect based upon the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed or based upon the number of Underlying Shares or convertible securities actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after the record date;

(5) the adjustments provided for in this Article 7 in the number of Underlying Shares and classes of securities which are to be received on the conversion of Subscription Receipts are cumulative and shall apply to successive issues, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, distributions and any other events that would require an adjustment of the Exchange Ratio or the kind of securities issuable hereunder.  After any adjustment pursuant to this Section, the term "Underlying Shares" where used in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section, the Subscription Receiptholder is entitled to receive upon the conversion of its Subscription Receipt, and the number of Common Shares indicated by any conversion made pursuant to a Subscription Receipt shall be interpreted to mean the number of Underlying Shares or other property or securities a Subscription Receiptholder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section, upon the full conversion of a Subscription Receipt; and

(6) if, and whenever at any time from the Closing Date (or an Over-Allotment Closing Date) and prior to the Release Date, the Corporation shall reclassify or otherwise change the outstanding Common Shares, the conversion right shall be adjusted effective immediately upon the reclassification becoming effective so that holders of Subscription Receipts who convert their rights thereafter shall be entitled to receive Underlying Shares as they would have received had the Subscription Receipts been converted immediately prior to the effective date, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Article 7.


- 39 -

Section 7.2 Determination by Corporation's Auditors

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 7, such question shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined by the Corporation's auditors, who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation, and such determination shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Corporation, the Underwriters, the Subscription Receipt Agent, all Subscription Receiptholders (including the Private Placement Subscriber) and all other Persons interested therein.

Section 7.3 Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the acquisition rights pursuant to any of the Subscription Receipts, including the number of Underlying Shares which are to be received upon the conversion thereof, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation or a successor corporation has unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Underlying Shares which the holders of such Subscription Receipts issued by it are entitled to receive on the full conversion thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

Section 7.4 Certificate of Adjustment

The Corporation shall, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in this Article 7, deliver a Certificate of the Corporation to the Subscription Receipt Agent specifying the nature of the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting out in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate, if required by the Subscription Receipt Agent, shall be supported by a certificate of the Corporation's auditors verifying such calculation.

Section 7.5 Notice of Special Matters

The Corporation covenants with the Subscription Receipt Agent that, so long as any Subscription Receipt remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent and to the Subscription Receiptholders of its intention to fix the record date for any event referred to in Section 7.1 hereof. Such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date for such event, provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in the notice such particulars of the event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which the notice is given. The notice shall be given in each case not less than 14 days prior to such applicable record date.

Section 7.6 No Action After Notice

The Corporation covenants with the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Underwriters and the Private Placement Subscriber that it will not close its transfer books or take any other corporate action which might deprive the holder of a Subscription Receipt of the opportunity or right to receive Underlying Shares pursuant thereto during the period of 14 days after the giving of the certificate or notices set forth in Sections Section 7.4 and Section 7.5.


- 40 -

Section 7.7 Other Action Affecting Common Shares

If, and whenever at any time from the Closing Date (or an Over-Allotment Closing Date) and prior to the Release Date, the Corporation shall take any action affecting or relating to the Common Shares, other than any action described in this Article 7, which in the opinion of the directors of the Corporation would prejudicially affect the rights of any holders of Subscription Receipts, the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted by the directors of the Corporation in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the directors of the Corporation, may in their sole discretion, subject to any requisite regulatory or stock exchange approval, reasonably determine to be equitable in the circumstances to such holders. 

Section 7.8 Protection of Subscription Receipt Agent

The Subscription Receipt Agent:

(1) shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Subscription Receiptholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment contemplated by Section 7.1 hereof, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made or the method employed in making such adjustment;

(2) shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Underlying Shares or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of the rights attaching to any Subscription Receipt;

Section 8.2 Waiver of Default

CONCERNING SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT AGENT

The Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent each will at all times in relation to this Agreement and any action to be taken hereunder observe and comply with and be entitled to the benefits of Applicable Legislation.

Section 11.2 Rights and Duties of Subscription Receipt Agent

(1) Duty of Subscription Receipt Agent: In the exercise of the rights and duties prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Receipt Agent will act honestly and in good faith and will exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent subscription receipt agent would exercise in comparable circumstances. The Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be bound to give any notice or do or take any act, action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby unless and until it shall have been required so to do under the terms hereof; nor shall the Subscription Receipt Agent be required to take notice of any default hereunder, unless and until notified in writing of such default, which notice shall distinctly specify the default desired to be brought to the attention of the Subscription Receipt Agent and in the absence of any such notice the Subscription Receipt Agent may for all purposes of this Agreement conclusively assume that no default has been made in the observance or performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained therein. Any such notice shall in no way limit any discretion herein given to the Subscription Receipt Agent to determine whether or not the Subscription Receipt Agent shall take action with respect to any default.

(2) No Relief from Liability: No provision of this Agreement will be construed to relieve the Subscription Receipt Agent from liability for its own grossly negligent act, wilful misconduct, fraud or bad faith.

(3) Actions: The obligation of the Subscription Receipt Agent to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding in connection herewith, including without limitation, for the purpose of enforcing any right of the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Subscription Receiptholders hereunder is on the condition that the Subscription Receipt Agent shall have received a Subscription Receiptholders' Request specifying the act, action or proceeding which the Subscription Receipt Agent is requested to take and, when required by notice to the Subscription Receiptholders by the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Subscription Receipt Agent is furnished by one or more Subscription Receiptholders with sufficient funds to commence or continue such act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent to protect and hold it harmless against the costs, charges, expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damage it may suffer by reason thereof.


- 50 -

(4) Funding: No provision of this Agreement will require the Subscription Receipt Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless it is so indemnified and funded.

(5) Deposit of Subscription Receipts: The Subscription Receipt Agent may, before commencing or at any time during the continuance of any such act, action or proceeding, require the Subscription Receiptholders at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the Subscription Receipt Agent the Subscription Receipt Certificates held by them, for which certificates the Subscription Receipt Agent will issue receipts.

(6) Restriction: Every provision of this Agreement that relieves the Subscription Receipt Agent of liability or entitles it to rely on any evidence submitted to it is subject to the provisions of Applicable Legislation.

(7) Right Not to Act/ Right to Resign: The Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its sole judgment, acting reasonably, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its sole judgment, acting reasonably, determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on ten days' written notice to the Corporation provided (a) that the Subscription Receipt Agent's written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance to the extent permitted by such applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline; and (b) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Subscription Receipt Agent's satisfaction, acting reasonably, within such ten-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

Section 11.3 Evidence, Experts and Advisers

(2) Evidence: In addition to the reports, certificates, opinions and other evidence required by this Agreement, the Corporation will furnish to the Subscription Receipt Agent such additional evidence of compliance with any provision hereof, and in such form, as is prescribed by Applicable Legislation or as the Subscription Receipt Agent reasonably requires by written notice to the Corporation.

(3) Reliance by Subscription Receipt Agent: In the exercise of any right or duty hereunder, the Subscription Receipt Agent, if it is acting in good faith, may act and rely, and shall be protected in so acting and relying, as to the truth of any statement or the accuracy of any opinion expressed therein, on any statutory declaration, opinion, report, certificate or other evidence furnished to the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to a provision hereof or of Applicable Legislation or pursuant to a request of the Subscription Receipt Agent, if the Subscription Receipt Agent examines such evidence and determines that it complies with the applicable requirements of this Agreement. The Subscription Receipt Agent may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable.

(4) Statutory Declaration: Whenever Applicable Legislation requires that evidence referred to in this Section 11.3 be in the form of a statutory declaration, the Subscription Receipt Agent may accept such statutory declaration in lieu of a Certificate of the Corporation required by any provision hereof. Any such statutory declaration may be made by any one or more of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Corporation or by any other officer(s) or director(s) of the Corporation to whom such authority is delegated by the Directors from time to time.

(5) Proof of Execution: Proof of the execution of any document or instrument in writing, including a Subscription Receiptholders' Request, by a Subscription Receiptholder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the Person signing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution, or in any other manner that the Subscription Receipt Agent considers adequate and in respect of a corporate Subscription Receiptholder, shall include a certificate of incumbency of such Subscription Receiptholder together with a certified resolution authorizing the Person who signs such instrument to sign such instrument.

(6) Experts: The Subscription Receipt Agent may, at the Corporation's expense, employ or retain such counsel, accountants, appraisers, or other experts or advisers as it reasonably requires for the purpose of determining and discharging its rights and duties hereunder and may pay the reasonable remuneration and disbursements for all services so performed by any of them, without taxation of costs of any Counsel, and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Subscription Receipt Agent for any reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of such counsel, accountants, appraisers, or other experts or advisors. The Subscription Receipt Agent may act and rely and shall be protected in acting or not acting and relying in good faith on the opinion or advice of or information obtained from any counsel, accountant, appraiser or other expert or advisor, whether retained or employed by the Corporation or by the Subscription Receipt Agent, in relation to any matter arising in the administration of the duties and obligations hereof.

SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS

INTEGRA RESOURCES CORP.
(a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia)

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, [] (the "holder") is the registered holder of the number of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") specified above of Integra Resources Corp. (the "Corporation") and is thereby entitled, without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder, to be issued, on the Release Date (as defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement hereinafter referred to) one Underlying Share of the Corporation in respect of each Subscription Receipt held.

This Subscription Receipt Certificate represents Subscription Receipts of the Corporation issued under the provisions of a subscription receipt agreement (which agreement, together with all amendments and instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto, is herein referred to as the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") dated as of March 16, 2023, among the Corporation, TSX Trust Company (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), Raymond James Ltd., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and Cormark Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"), and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. Reference is hereby made for particulars of the rights of the holders of the Subscription Receipts, the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Underwriters and the Private Placement Subscriber in respect thereof and of the terms and conditions upon which the Subscription Receipts are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement were herein set forth in full, and to all of which the holder, by acceptance hereof, assents. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Subscription Receipt Certificate and the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement shall govern. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Subscription Receipt Certificate shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Corporation will furnish to the holder, on request, a copy of the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate will be automatically converted into Underlying Shares for and on behalf of the holder on the Release Date and the holder will be a holder of the Underlying Shares without the taking of any further action by the holder or payment of additional consideration. For greater certainty, the Subscription Receipts represented by this certificate may not be converted by the holder and may only be converted pursuant to the foregoing automatic conversion.

On and after the date of conversion of the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate, the holder will have no rights hereunder except to the Underlying Shares issued to such holder.

Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Release Date is the date, or the Business Day following such date, on which the Subscription Receipt Agent receives the Escrow Release Notice in the form required under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, which notice will inform the Subscription Receipt Agent of the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions and will instruct the Subscription Receipt Agent to pay the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement.


Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder: (a) if the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 9, 2023, to receive, for no additional consideration and without further action, one Underlying Share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Subscription Receipt; or (b) if a Termination Event occurs, to receive from the Corporation an amount equal to the Offering Price together with the pro rata share of the Earned Interest, subject to any withholding taxes, all in the manner and on the terms and conditions set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The holder of this Subscription Receipt Certificate is cautioned that in the event that the Subscription Receipts are deemed to be cancelled, a cheque will be mailed to the latest address of record of the registered holder.

The Subscription Receipts evidenced by this Subscription Receipt Certificate and the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or under the securities laws of any state of the United States. All or any portion of the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate may not be offered, sold or pledged or otherwise transferred in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in limited circumstances contemplated in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. In addition, the Subscription Receipts are subject to a 40 day "distribution compliance period" (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, the "Distribution Compliance Period"), and the Subscription Receipts may not be offered or sold, prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, unless (A) in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act; (B) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act; or (C) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and upon delivery of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to such effect, if requested. "United States" and "U.S. person" are as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

No Underlying Shares will be issued pursuant to the conversion of any Subscription Receipt if the issue of such security would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

The Subscription Receipt Agreement contains provisions making binding on all holders of Subscription Receipts outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments in writing signed by holders of a specified majority of all outstanding Subscription Receipts.

The Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate are transferrable.

The holding of this Subscription Receipt Certificate will not constitute the holder a shareholder of the Corporation or entitle such holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as otherwise provided in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

This Subscription Receipt Certificate will not be valid for any purpose until it has been Authenticated by or on behalf of the Subscription Receipt Agent for the time being under the Subscription Receipt Agreement.


Time is of the essence hereof.
