The FAST-41 Transparency Projects Program is a federal permitting framework designed to improve permitting timelines through increased interagency coordination. Integra Resources’s DeLamar Heap Leach Project in Idaho was recently selected for inclusion in the FAST-41 Program, and it’s well-earned.
The DeLamar Project is a past-producing gold and silver development project located in Idaho. The feasibility study outlines a total production of 1.1 million ounces of gold equivalent over a 10 year mine life, providing 300 direct, full-time, family-wage job opportunities in a rural community. Gold can be used in electronics and aerospace applications, and silver, a critical mineral, has many applications in energy, electronics, and automobiles. By selecting the DeLamar Project for inclusion, the Permitting Council is showing the importance of protecting the supply chain for raw inputs of America’s future needs.
