These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

PRELIMINARY SHORT FORM BASE SHELF PROSPECTUS

New Issue

August 7, 2020

INTEGRA RESOURCES CORP.

C$100,000,000
Common Shares
Warrants
Subscription Receipts
Units

This preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the "Prospectus") relates to the offering for sale from time to time (each, an "Offering"), during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains effective, of the securities of Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Corporation") listed above (the "Securities") in one or more series or issuances, with a total offering price of such Securities, in the aggregate, of up to C$100,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in U.S. dollars or other currencies).  The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of the sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (a "Prospectus Supplement").

We are permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system ("MJDS") adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in United States and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from United States disclosure requirements.  Prospective investors in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States.  Integra has prepared its consolidated financial statements, incorporated herein by reference, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which is incorporated within Part 1 of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting, and its consolidated financial statements are subject to Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and auditor independence standards.  As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

The issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") are listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol "ITR" and on the NYSE American LLC (the "NYSE American") under the symbol "ITRG".  On August 6, 2020, the last full trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price per Common Share on the TSXV was C$5.06 and on the NYSE American US$3.835. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no existing trading market through which the warrants (the "Warrants"), the subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") or the units (the "Units") may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus.  This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.  See "Risk Factors".

NEITHER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATOR, NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR, HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

All information permitted under applicable law to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus.  Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.  You should read this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement carefully before you invest in any Securities.  The Corporation may offer and sell Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly or through agents designated by the Corporation from time to time at amounts and prices and other terms determined by the Corporation.  A Prospectus Supplement will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the Offering and will set forth the terms of the Offering, the method of distribution of such Securities including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Corporation and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the distribution.  In connection with any Offering (unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement), the underwriters or agents may, subject to applicable law, over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at levels other than that which might otherwise exist in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. See "Plan of Distribution".  No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.


Investing in the Securities is speculative and involves certain risks.  The risks outlined in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement should be carefully reviewed and considered by prospective investors. See "Risk Factors".

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because the Corporation is incorporated in Canada, most of the officers and directors and some of the experts named in this Prospectus are not residents of the United States, and some of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States.  See "Enforceability of Certain Civil Liabilities".

Mr. Timo Jauristo and Mr. C.L. "Butch" Otter, each a director of the Corporation, Mr. E. Max Baker and Mr. Timothy Arnold, each an officer of the Corporation, and Michael M. Gustin, Steven I. Weiss, Thomas L. Dyer, Jack S. McPartland, Jeffrey L. Woods and John D. Welsh, each a qualified person, reside outside of Canada. Each of Mr. Jauristo, Mr. Otter, Mr. Baker, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Gustin, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Dyer, Mr. McPartland, Mr. Woods and Mr. Welsh have appointed Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8 as agent for service of process in Canada. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person that resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

We have filed an undertaking with the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") that we will not distribute in the local jurisdiction under this Prospectus specified derivatives or asset-backed securities that, at the time of distribution, are novel without pre-clearing with the BCSC the disclosure to be contained in the Prospectus Supplement pertaining to the distribution of such securities.

Owning our securities may subject you to tax consequences both in Canada and the United States.  Such tax consequences are not fully described in this Prospectus and may not be fully described in any applicable Prospectus Supplement.  You should read the tax discussion in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult your own tax advisor with respect to your own particular circumstances.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to "$", "C$" or "dollars" in this Prospectus refer to Canadian dollars.

The head and principal office of the Corporation is located at Suite 1050, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3A6.

The registered and records office of the Corporation is located at Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

Unless otherwise noted or the context indicates otherwise, the "Corporation" and "Integra" refer to Integra Resources Corp. and its subsidiaries.

This Prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-10 that we have filed with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), relating to the Securities (the "Registration Statement"). Under the Registration Statement, we may, from time to time, offer any combination of the Securities described in this Prospectus in one or more offerings of up to an aggregate principal amount of C$100,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). This Prospectus provides you with a general description of the Securities that we may offer. Each time we offer Securities under the Registration Statement, we will provide a Prospectus Supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The Prospectus Supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this Prospectus. Before you invest, you should read both this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. This Prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. You may refer to the Registration Statement and the exhibits to the Registration Statement for further information with respect to us and the Securities.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and on the other information included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with any different, additional, inconsistent or other information, you should not rely on it. The Corporation is not making an offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy the Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus, any applicable Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this Prospectus, any applicable Prospectus Supplement or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, regardless of the time of delivery or of any sale of the Securities pursuant thereto. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. Information contained on the Corporation's website should not be deemed to be a part of this Prospectus, any applicable Prospectus Supplement or incorporated by reference herein or therein and should not be relied upon by prospective investors for the purpose of determining whether to invest in the Securities.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND CURRENCY

Integra has prepared its consolidated financial statements, incorporated herein by reference, in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which is incorporated within Part 1 of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting, and its consolidated financial statements are subject to Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and auditor independence standards.  As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

All currency amounts in this Prospectus are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.  References to "C$" are to Canadian dollars.  References to "US$" are to United States dollars.

The following table reflects the low and high rates of exchange for one United States dollar, expressed in Canadian dollars, during the periods noted, the rates of exchange at the end of such periods and the average rates of exchange during such periods, based on the daily exchange rates for 2018 and 2019.

    Years Ended December 31,  
    2019     2018  
Low for the period $ 1.2988   $ 1.2288  
High for the period $ 1.3600   $ 1.3642  
Rate at the end of the period $ 1.2988   $ 1.3642  
Average $ 1.3269   $ 1.2957  

On August 6, 2020, the Bank of Canada daily average rate of exchange was C$1.00 = US$0.7523 or US$1.00 = C$1.3292.

CAUTIONARY NOTE FOR UNITED STATES INVESTORS

We are permitted under a MJDS adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States to prepare this Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference and any Prospectus Supplement, in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from United States disclosure requirements.  Integra has prepared its consolidated financial statements, incorporated herein by reference, in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which is incorporated within Part 1 of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting, and its consolidated financial statements are subject to Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and auditor independence standards.  As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.


Technical disclosure in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.  The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). These definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7 ("SEC Industry Guide 7") under the U.S. Securities Act. Under U.S. standards pursuant to SEC Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Also, under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" are defined in, and required to be disclosed by, NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, under SEC Industry Guide 7 the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein that describes the Corporation's mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under SEC Industry Guide 7.

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC.  These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") and, following a two-year transition period, the SEC Modernization Rules will replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that are included in SEC Industry Guide 7.  Following the transition period, as a foreign private issuer that files its annual report on Form 40-F with the SEC pursuant to the MJDS, the Corporation is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards.  If the Corporation ceases to be a foreign private issuer or loses its eligibility to file its annual report on Form 40-F pursuant to the MJDS, then the Corporation will be subject to the SEC Modernization Rules which differ from the requirements of NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation continued and existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia.  Most of the officers and directors and some of the experts named in this Prospectus are not residents of the United States, and some of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States.  Integra has appointed an agent for service of process within the United States upon those officers or directors who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon Integra's civil liability and the civil liability of such officers or directors under United States federal securities laws or the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States.


Integra has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, that, subject to certain limitations, a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws may be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. Integra has also been advised by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws or any such state securities or "blue sky" laws.

We have filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Registration Statement, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X.  Under the Form F-X, the Corporation appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a United States court, arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the Securities.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

The Corporation is filing a Registration Statement with the SEC.  This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, which form a part of the Registration Statement, do not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Information omitted from this Prospectus but contained in the Registration Statement is available on EDGAR (as defined herein) under the Corporation's profile at www.sec.gov.  Investors should review the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto for further information with respect to us and the Securities. Statements contained in this Prospectus as to the contents of certain documents are not necessarily complete and, in each instance, reference is made to the copy of the document filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. Each such statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference.  Each time we sell Securities under the Registration Statement, we will provide a Prospectus Supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering.  The Prospectus Supplement may also add to, update or change information contained in this Prospectus.

We are required to file with the various securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the applicable provinces and territories of Canada, annual and quarterly reports, material change reports and other information. We are also an SEC registrant subject to the informational requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and, accordingly, file with, or furnish to, the SEC certain reports and other information. Under the MJDS adopted by the United States and Canada, these reports and other information (including financial information) may be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada, which differ from those of the United States. We are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus contains "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking statements are included to provide information about management's current expectations and plans that allows investors and others to get a better understanding of the Corporation's operating environment, the business operations and financial performance and condition.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding planned exploration and development programs and expenditures; the estimation of mineral resources; magnitude or quality of mineral deposits; anticipated advancement of mineral properties and programs; future exploration prospects; proposed exploration plans and expected results of exploration from the DeLamar Project (as defined herein); the development, operational and economic results of the preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") for the DeLamar Project, including cash flows, capital expenditures, development costs, extraction rates, life of mine cost estimates; Integra's ability to obtain licenses, permits and regulatory approvals required to implement expected future exploration plans; changes in commodity prices and exchange rates; future growth potential of Integra; future development plans; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.  Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as "expects", "is expected", "anticipates", "believes", "plans", "projects", "estimates", "assumes", "intends", "strategy", "goals", "objectives", "potential", "possible" or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, conditions or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of fact and may be forward-looking statements.


Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, if untrue, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Corporation at this time, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies that may cause the Corporation's actual financial results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied herein. Some of the material factors or assumptions used to develop forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the future price of gold and silver; anticipated costs and the Corporation's ability to fund its programs; the Corporation's ability to carry on exploration and development activities; the timing and results of drilling programs; the discovery of additional mineral resources on the Corporation's mineral properties; the timely receipt of required approvals and permits, including those approvals and permits required for successful project permitting, construction and operation of projects; the costs of operating and exploration expenditures; the Corporation's ability to operate in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the potential impact of natural disasters, the impact of COVID-19; and the Corporation's ability to obtain financing as and when required and on reasonable terms.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others: access to additional capital; volatility in the market price of the Corporation's securities; future sales of the Corporation's securities; dilution of shareholder's holdings; negative operating cash flow; failure to obtain required regulatory and stock exchange approvals; uncertainty and variations in the estimation of mineral resources; health, safety and environmental risks; success of exploration, development and operations activities; delays in obtaining or failure to obtain governmental permits, or non-compliance with permits; delays in getting access from surface rights owners; the fluctuating price of gold and silver; assessments by taxation authorities; uncertainties related to title to mineral properties; the potential impact of natural disasters, terrorist acts, health crises and other disruptions and dislocations, including the COVID-19 pandemic; and the Corporation's ability to identify, complete and successfully integrate acquisitions.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Corporation's forward-looking statements. Although the Corporation believes its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions and have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. See the section entitled "Risk Factors" below, and in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Corporation's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2019, dated April 15, 2020 (the "Annual Information Form"), and incorporated by reference herein, for additional risk factors that could cause results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this Prospectus and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. The Corporation disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements or the foregoing list of assumptions or factors, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. Investors are urged to read the Corporation's filings with Canadian securities regulatory agencies, which can be viewed online under the Corporation's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Alternative performance measures in this document such as "cash cost" and "AISC" are furnished to provide additional information.  These non-GAAP performance measures are included in this Prospectus because these statistics are used as key performance measures that management uses to monitor and assess performance of the DeLamar Project, and to plan and assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of mining operations. These performance measures do not have a standard meaning within IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. These performance measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.

THE CORPORATION

Integra is a mineral exploration company, whose Common Shares are listed on the TSXV and in the United States on the NYSE American. The Corporation's principal asset is the DeLamar Project, a mineral exploration project located in the heart of the historic Owyhee County mining district in south western Idaho (the "DeLamar Project"). The DeLamar Project consists of the neighbouring DeLamar and Florida Mountain Deposits and was formerly operated as a gold and silver mine.  The primary focus of the Corporation is the advancement of its DeLamar Project. On October 22, 2019, the Corporation filed a technical report entitled "Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the DeLamar and Florida Mountain Gold - Silver Project, Owyhee County, Idaho, USA", with an effective date of September 9, 2019 and prepared by Michael M. Gustin, C.P.G., Steven I. Weiss, C.P.G., Thomas L. Dyer, P.E., Jack S. McPartland, M.M.S.A., Jeffrey L. Woods, S.M.E., M.M.S.A. and John D. Welsh, P.E. in support of the maiden PEA. Mr. Gustin, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Dyer, Mr. McPartland, Mr. Woods and Mr. Welsh are qualified persons under NI 43-101.


For further information regarding Integra and the DeLamar Project, see the Annual Information Form and other documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus available at www.sedar.com under the Corporation's profile.

Recent Developments-

Continuation to British Columbia

On June 29, 2020, the Corporation continued from the province of Ontario to British Columbia.  As a result, the Corporation is now subject to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"), as if it had originally been incorporated under the BCBCA.

Consolidation

On July 9, 2020, the Corporation consolidated all of its issued and outstanding Common Shares on a two-and-one-half (2.5) for one (1) basis (the "Consolidation"). All references to our Common Shares and securities issuable into Common Shares such as options and warrants in documents dated prior to the date hereof that are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, reflect pre-consolidation amounts.

Listing on NYSE American

On July 31, 2020, the Corporation's Common Shares commenced trading on the NYSE American.  Concurrent with the NYSE American listing, the Common Shares of the Corporation were de-listed from the OTCQX.

Previous Disclosure of Use of Proceeds

The Corporation raised net proceeds of approximately C$29,800,000 in November and December 2019 via a bought deal prospectus offering of Common Shares and a strategic private placement of Common Shares to Coeur Mining, Inc.  The Corporation continues to deploy the bulk of these proceeds in a manner consistent with that disclosed in the Corporation's November 2019 prospectus, although it expects that an additional C$500,000 will ultimately be attributable to corporate G&A as a result of increased third-party costs from the continuation, consolidation, this base shelf prospectus filing, the NYSE American listing and registration filings in the United States. On the development side, the Corporation anticipates spending less than expected on metallurgical drilling and will re-allocate those funds towards permitting activities. The Corporation also anticipates spending more on the IP program. The Corporation expects these variances to be minor and that they will not impact the Corporation's ability to achieve its business objectives and milestones as stated in the November 2019 prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to invest in the Securities, investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in, and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in, this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. An investment in the Securities is subject to certain risks, including risks related to the business of the Corporation, risks related to mining operations and risks related to the Corporation's securities described in the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. See the risk factors below and the "Risk Factors" section of any applicable Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and therein.  Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a loss of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.


These risk factors, together with all other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including, without limitation, information contained in the section "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" as well as the risk factors set out below, should be carefully reviewed and considered by investors.

Some of the factors described herein, in the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein are interrelated and, consequently, investors should treat such risk factors as a whole. If any of the adverse effects set out in the risk factors described herein, or in another document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein occur, it could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Corporation currently is unaware of or that are unknown or that it currently deems to be immaterial could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Corporation cannot provide assurance that it will successfully address any or all of these risks. There is no assurance that any risk management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the adverse effects set out in the risk factors herein, or in the other documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein or other unforeseen risks.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) and global health crisis

The COVID-19 global outbreak and efforts to contain it may have an impact on the Corporation's business.  The Corporation has implemented various safety measures onsite to ensure the safety of its employees and contractors.  The Corporation continues to monitor the situation and the impact the virus may have on the DeLamar Project.  Should the virus spread, travel bans remain in place or should one of the Corporation's team members or consultants become infected, the Corporation's ability to advance the DeLamar Project may be impacted.  Similarly, the Corporation's ability to obtain financing and the ability of the Corporation's vendors, suppliers, consultants and partners to meet obligations may be impacted as a result of COVID-19 and efforts to contain the virus.

Exploration and development

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk.  There is no known body of commercial ore on the DeLamar Project.  There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by Integra in the exploration of the DeLamar Project or otherwise will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals.  The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by Integra will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Integra including, but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in Integra not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Preliminary economic assessment

The PEA for the DeLamar Project is an early stage estimate that does not have sufficient certainty to constitute a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study. Integra has not completed pre-feasibility or feasibility level work and analysis that would allow us to declare Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves at the DeLamar Project, and no assurance can be given that we will ever be in a position to declare a Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves at the DeLamar Project.  In particular, the PEA for the DeLamar Project contains our estimated capital costs and operating costs which are based on anticipated tonnage and grades of metal to be mined and processed, the expected recovery rates and other factors, none of which has been completed to date to a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study level. Whether we complete a feasibility study on the DeLamar Project, and thereby delineate Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves, depends on a number of factors, including:

  • the particular attributes of the deposit (including its size, grade, geological formation and proximity to infrastructure);
  • metal prices, which are highly cyclical;
  • government regulations (including regulations relating to taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use and permitting); and
  • environmental protection considerations.

We cannot determine at this time whether any of our estimates will ultimately be correct.

Negative operating cash flow


The Corporation is an exploration stage company and has not generated cash flow from operations. The Corporation is devoting significant resources to the development and acquisition of its properties, however there can be no assurance that it will generate positive cash flow from operations in the future.  The Corporation expects to continue to incur negative consolidated operating cash flow and losses until such time as it achieves commercial production at a particular project. The Corporation currently has negative cash flow from operating activities.

Capital resources

Historically, capital requirements have been primarily funded through the sale of Common Shares. Factors that could affect the availability of financing include the progress and results of ongoing exploration at the Corporation's mineral properties, the state of international debt and equity markets, and investor perceptions and expectations of the global gold and/or silver markets. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available in the amount required at any time or for any period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Corporation. Based on the amount of funding raised, the Corporation's planned exploration or other work programs may be postponed, or otherwise revised, as necessary.

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds

While detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of our securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation will have broad discretion over the use of net proceeds from an offering by the Corporation of its securities.  There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary. In such circumstances, the net proceeds will be reallocated at the Corporation's sole discretion.

Management will have discretion concerning the use of proceeds scribed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as well as the timing of their expenditures. As a result, an investor will be relying on the judgment of management for the application of the proceeds. Management may use the net proceeds described in a Prospectus Supplement in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The results and the effectiveness of the application of the proceeds are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Corporation's results of operations may suffer.

Securities of Integra are subject to price volatility

Capital and securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of Integra include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries or asset classes.  There can be no assurance that continued fluctuations in mineral or commodity prices will not occur. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Common Shares of Integra at any given time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of Integra.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, shareholders have instituted class action securities litigation against them. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial cost and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm profitability and the reputation of Integra.

Sales of a significant number of Common Shares in the public markets, or the perception of such sales, could depress the market price of the Common Shares

Sales of a substantial number of Common Shares or other equity-related securities in the public markets by the Corporation or its significant shareholders could depress the market price of the Common Shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. The Corporation cannot predict the effect that future sales of Common Shares or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of the Common Shares. The price of the Common Shares could be affected by possible sales of the Common Shares by hedging or arbitrage trading activity. If the Corporation raises additional funding by issuing additional equity securities, such financing may substantially dilute the interests of shareholders of the Corporation and reduce the value of their investment.

Holders of Common Shares will be diluted

The Corporation may issue additional securities in the future, which may dilute a shareholder's holdings in the Corporation. The Corporation's notice of articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares, and shareholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuance. The directors of the Corporation have discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances. Moreover, additional Common Shares will be issued by the Corporation on the exercise of options under the Corporation's stock option plan and upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.


Market for Securities

There is currently no market through which our securities, other than our Common Shares, may be sold and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, our Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units not be listed on any securities or stock exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. As a consequence, purchasers may not be able to resell Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units purchased under this Prospectus.  This may affect the pricing of our securities, other than our Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of these securities and the extent of issuer regulation. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our securities, other than our Common Shares, will develop or, if developed, that any such market, including for our Common Shares, will be sustained.

Risks relating to the Corporation's status as a "foreign private issuer" under U.S. securities laws

The Corporation is a "foreign private issuer", under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, and is, therefore, not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC.  Under the Exchange Act, the Corporation is subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies.  As a result, the Corporation does not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although the Corporation is required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that it is required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws.  In addition, the Corporation's officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  Therefore, the Corporation's shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when the Corporation's officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell Common Shares, as the reporting periods under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.

As a foreign private issuer, the Corporation is exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements.  The Corporation is also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information.  While the Corporation complies with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic companies.  In addition, the Corporation may not be required under the Exchange Act to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

In addition, as a foreign private issuer, the Corporation has the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that the Corporation disclose the requirements it is not following and describe the Canadian practices it follows instead.  The Corporation may in the future elect to follow home country practices in Canada with regard to certain corporate governance matters.  As a result, the Corporation's shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to all corporate governance requirements.

The Corporation may lose its status as a foreign private issuer under U.S. securities laws

In order to maintain its status as a foreign private issuer, a majority of the Corporation's Common Shares must be either directly or indirectly owned by non-residents of the U.S. unless the Corporation also satisfies one of the additional requirements necessary to preserve this status. The Corporation may in the future lose its foreign private issuer status if a majority of its Common Shares are held in the U.S. and if the Corporation fails to meet the additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of its foreign private issuer status. The regulatory and compliance costs under U.S. federal securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly more than the costs incurred as a Canadian foreign private issuer eligible to use the MJDS.  If the Corporation is not a foreign private issuer, it would not be eligible to use the MJDS or other foreign issuer forms and would be required to file periodic and current reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer.  In addition, the Corporation may lose the ability to rely upon exemptions from NYSE American corporate governance requirements that are available to foreign private issuers.

Risks relating to the Corporation's status as an "emerging growth company" under U.S. securities laws


The Corporation is an "emerging growth company" as defined in section 3(a) of the Exchange Act (as amended by the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012), and the Corporation will continue to qualify as an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which the Corporation has total annual gross revenues of US$1,070,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC) or more; (b) the last day of the fiscal year of the Corporation following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the Corporation pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act; (c) the date on which the Corporation has, during the previous three year period, issued more than US$1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; and (d) the date on which the Corporation is deemed to be a "large accelerated filer", as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.  The Corporation will qualify as a large accelerated filer (and would cease to be an emerging growth company) at such time when on the last business day of its second fiscal quarter of such year the aggregate worldwide market value of its common equity held by non-affiliates will be US$700,000,000 or more.

For so long as the Corporation remains an emerging growth company, it is permitted to and intends to rely upon exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.  These exemptions include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the JOBS Act.  The Corporation takes advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions available to emerging growth companies.  The Corporation cannot predict whether investors will find the Common Shares less attractive because the Corporation relies upon certain of these exemptions.  If some investors find the Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Common Shares and the Common Share price may be more volatile.  On the other hand, if the Corporation no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, the Corporation would be required to divert additional management time and attention from the Corporation's development and other business activities and incur increased legal and financial costs to comply with the additional associated reporting requirements, which could negatively impact the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operations.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, since the date of the Interim Financial Statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in a Prospectus Supplement, we currently expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities offered hereby to fund ongoing work programs to advance the DeLamar Project, to pursue other exploration and development opportunities, whether through direct or indirect acquisitions of properties, applications for mineral title rights or otherwise, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.  Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an Offering to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of the Offering and will be described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement.  The Corporation generates no operating revenue from the exploration activities on its property interests and has negative cash flow from operating activities. The Corporation anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flow until such time that commercial production is achieved at the DeLamar Project.  To the extent that the Corporation has negative cash flows in future periods in excess of net proceeds from the sale of Securities, it may need to deploy a portion of net proceeds from the sale of Securities to fund such negative cash flow.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation may from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus remains valid, offer for sale and issue Securities. We may issue and sell up to C$100,000,000, in the aggregate, of Securities.

We may offer and sell the Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers or through agents. We may offer Securities in the same offering, or we may offer Securities in separate offerings. Each Prospectus Supplement, to the extent applicable, will describe the number and terms of the Securities to which such Prospectus Supplement relates, the name or names of any underwriters or agents with whom we have entered into arrangements with respect to the sale of such Securities, the public offering or purchase price of such Securities and our net proceeds. The Prospectus Supplement will also include any underwriting discounts or commissions and other items constituting underwriters' compensation and will identify any securities exchanges on which the Securities may be listed.

The Securities may be sold, from time to time, in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price, at varied prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102") of the Canadian Securities Administrators, including sales made directly on the TSXV, NYSE American or other existing trading markets for the Securities. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of the Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation. We will obtain any requisite exemptive relief prior to conducting "at-the-market distributions".


Only underwriters named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with such Securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.

Under agreements which may be entered into by us, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. The underwriters, dealers and agents with whom we enter into agreements may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

Agents, underwriters or dealers may make sales of Securities in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an "at-the-market distribution" as defined in NI 44-102 and subject to limitations imposed by and the terms of any regulatory approvals required and obtained under, applicable Canadian securities laws which includes sales made directly on an existing trading market for the Common Shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on a securities exchange. In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation, no affiliate of such underwriter or dealer and no person acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer has over-allotted, or will over-allot, Securities in connection with an offering of Securities or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by eligible institutions to purchase Securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement under delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The conditions to these contracts and the commissions payable for solicitation of these contracts will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Each class or series of Securities, other than the Common Shares, will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Subject to applicable laws, any underwriter may make a market in such Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. There may be limited liquidity in the trading market for any such Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we do not intend to list any of the Securities other than the Common Shares on any securities exchange. Consequently, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no trading market through which the Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell any such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors". No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING DISTRIBUTED

Common Shares

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of the Common Shares. As of August 6, 2020, there were 47,823,177 Common Shares issued and outstanding. The Corporation may issue Common Shares on exercise of Special Warrants (as defined below). The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and are entitled to one vote for each Common Share held (except at meetings at which only the holders of another class of shares are entitled to vote). The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends, on a pro rata basis, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors and, subject to the prior satisfaction of all preferential rights, to participate rateably in the net assets of the Corporation in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or other distribution of assets of the Corporation among shareholders for the purposes of winding up its affairs. The Common Shares do not carry any pre-emptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they contain any sinking or purchase fund provisions.


The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends if, and when, declared by the Board of Directors. The Corporation has no source of cash flow, and anticipates using all available cash resources toward its stated business objectives. As such, the Corporation does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. At present, the Corporation's policy is to retain earnings, if any, to finance its business operations. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon, among other factors, the Corporation's earnings, capital requirements and operating financial conditions.

Warrants

As of August 6, 2020, there are no Warrants outstanding. The Corporation may issue Warrants to purchase Common Shares. Warrants may be issued independently or together with other Securities and may be attached to or separate from those Securities. Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant indentures, including supplemental indentures to one of our existing warrant indentures, to be entered into between the Corporation and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent, to be named in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, which will establish the terms and conditions of the Warrants. A copy of any warrant indenture or supplemental warrant indenture relating to an offering of Warrants will be filed by us with the securities regulatory authorities in applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions and the United States after we have entered into it.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Warrants and is not intended to be complete. You should read the particular terms of the Warrants that are offered by us, which will be described in more detail in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any warrant indenture and Warrants to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable warrant indenture and the Prospectus Supplement describing such warrant indenture.

Subscription Receipts

As of August 6, 2020, there are no Subscription Receipts outstanding. The Corporation may issue Subscription Receipts that will entitle holders to receive, upon satisfaction of certain release conditions and for no additional consideration, Common Shares, Warrants, Units or any combination thereof.  Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to one or more subscription receipt agreements (each, a "Subscription Receipt Agreement"), each to be entered into between the Corporation and an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), to be named in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, which will establish the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts.  Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. If underwriters or agents are used in the sale of any Subscription Receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be a party to the Subscription Receipt Agreement governing the Subscription Receipts sold to or through such underwriter or agent. A copy of any Subscription Receipt Agreement will be filed by us with the securities regulatory authorities in applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions and the United States after we have entered into it.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Subscription Receipts and is not intended to be complete.

This right of rescission does not extend to holders of Subscription Receipts who acquire such Subscription Receipts from an initial purchaser, on the open market or otherwise, or to initial purchasers who acquire Subscription Receipts in the United States.

The Corporation may issue Subscription Receipts in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, which will be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO
OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 160 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") provides that a company may do one or both of the following:

 

(a)

indemnify an eligible party (as defined below) against all eligible penalties (as defined below) to which the eligible party is or may be liable;


 

(b)

after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding (as defined below), pay the expenses (which includes costs, charges and expenses (including legal and other fees) but excludes judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding) actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding.

However, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, a company must pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party: (i) has not been reimbursed for those expenses: and (ii) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, or is substantially successful on the merits, in the outcome of the proceeding. The BCBCA also provides that a company may pay the expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding if the company first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited under the BCBCA, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

For the purposes of the applicable division of the BCBCA, an "eligible party", in relation to a company, means an individual who:

 

(a)

is or was a director or officer of the company;

 

(b)

is or was a director or officer of another corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the company, or at the request of the company; or

 

(c)

at the request of the company, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity,

and includes, with some exceptions, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual.

An "eligible penalty" under the BCBCA means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding.

An "eligible proceeding" under the BCBCA is a proceeding in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation, is or may be joined as a party, or is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. A "proceeding" includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed. "Expenses" include costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, but does not include judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding. An "associated corporation" means a corporation or entity referred to in paragraph (b) or (c) of the definition of "eligible party" above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BCBCA prohibits a company from indemnifying an eligible party or paying the expenses of an eligible party if any of the following circumstances apply:

 

(a)

if the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time such agreement was made, the company was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;




 

(b)

if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the company is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

 

(c)

if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the company or the associated corporation, as the case may be; or

 

(d)

in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party's conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.

Additionally, if an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the company or an associated corporation, the company must not indemnify the eligible party or pay or advance the expenses of the eligible party in respect of the proceeding.

Whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under the BCBCA, section 164 of the BCBCA provides that, on the application of a company or an eligible party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do one or more of the following:

 

(a)

order a company to indemnify an eligible party against any liabilities incurred by the eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

     

 

(b)

order a company to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

     

 

(c)

order the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by a company;

     

 

(d)

order a company to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under section 164; or

     

 

(e)

make any other order the court considers appropriate.

The BCBCA provides that a company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation.

The Registrant's articles provide that the Registrant must, subject to the BCBCA, (i) indemnify an eligible party and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the BCBCA.

The Registrant's articles define "eligible penalty" to mean a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding. "Eligible proceeding" under the Registrant's articles means a legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed, in which a director, former director or an officer or former officer of the Registrant (an "eligible party") or any of the heirs and legal personal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty, or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding.

The Registrant's articles further provide that the Registrant may, subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, indemnify any person, including directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Registrant, and that the failure of a director or officer of the Registrant to comply with the BCBCA or the Registrant's articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under the Registrant's articles.

The Registrant is authorized by its articles to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who: (i) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant; (ii) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant; (iii) at the request of the Registrant, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; or (iv) at the request of the Registrant, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.


A policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Registrant for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the articles of the Registrant and the BCBCA.

* * *

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.
