Integra receives final approval of exploration plan for Nevada North project

Integra Resources announced it received the NEPA decision record and reclamation permit approving its exploration plan for the Wildcat deposit within the Nevada North project. The regulatory approval de-risks near-term exploration activity, potentially accelerating drilling and development timelines and improving the company’s valuation outlook. Market reaction was muted intraday (ITRG shown at $2.64, -2.94%), but the permit is a positive catalyst for the stock and could boost investor interest in gold exploration names and XAUUSD sentiment as supply-side progress supports longer-term gold fundamentals.
