Integra Resources (ITRG) has finalized the acquisition of a 6,600-acre private ranch in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, expanding its landholding near the DeLamar silver-gold project. The transaction grants the company exclusive access to key mineralized zones and supports ongoing efforts to advance the project toward a definitive feasibility study. The property is located approximately 12 kilometers west of the existing DeLamar mine complex and lies within a prolific epithermal silver-gold belt. The acquisition is part of a strategic phase to consolidate contiguous land rights, reducing exploration risk and enabling more efficient drilling and infrastructure planning. Integra has already completed a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on the DeLamar project, which projects average annual production of 1.3 million ounces of silver and 18,000 ounces of gold over a 12-year mine life. The expanded land package increases the total project area to over 15,000 acres, enhancing the potential for resource growth. Market participants are noting the move as a positive development for ITRG, particularly in the context of rising demand for silver and gold. The company’s stock (ITRG) has shown modest gains in early trading, while sector benchmarks such as the GDX and AG.MX have experienced slight upward momentum. Investors are interpreting the acquisition as a sign of commitment to advancing a high-potential asset in a region with strong mining infrastructure and permitting history.
