The agreement also comprises variable net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the project, payable to Kinross.
Integra Resources president and CEO George Salamis said: "We are pleased to be part of this formative transaction with Kinross because, in our view, the pedigree and genesis of this asset opportunity bears some striking similarities to Integra Gold’s asset acquisition of Sigma-Lamaque, back at its nascent stages.
"The Integra team is keen to get working on financing and executing an aggressive path of exploration and future studies. We believe the exploration upside potential for both heap-leachable gold-silver mineralisation at surface and high-grade, vein-type 'feeder' mineralisation is very promising."
Located 80km south of Boise in southern Idaho, the site contains Kinross's DeLamar Mine that produced 1.6Mozs of gold, as well as 100 million ounces of silver and closed in 1998.
