International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:INM) (the "Company" or
"Northair") is pleased to announce assay results from five diamond drill holes
recently completed at its La Cigarra silver project, located in north central
Mexico. 


San Gregorio Zone Drill Highlights:



--  Hole CC-11-023 returning 51.45 metres of 85.7 g/t silver, includes 13.70
    metres of 239.7 g/t silver; 
--  Hole CC-11-022 returning 21.30 metres of 61.3 g/t silver, includes 8.70
    metres of 114.9 g/t silver. 



Las Carolinas Zone Drill Highlights: 



--  Hole CC-11-021 returning 38.65 metres of 31.8 g/t silver, includes 5.60
    metres of 84.7g/t silver; 
--  Hole CC-11-020 returning 50.90 metres of 34.7 g/t silver, includes 17.50
    metres of 46.3 g/t silver; 
--  Hole CC-11-019-returning 51.65 metres of 25.0 g/t silver, includes 15.50
    metres of 43.2 g/t silver. 



"Step out drilling continues to intersect silver values indicating a strong and
potentially surface minable mineralized system comprised of the Las Carolinas
and San Gregorio zones," said Fred Hewett, President & CEO of Northair. "The
potentially economic mineralization encountered within both zones remains open
along strike and down dip. In addition, with only 500 metres of untested ground
remaining between the zones, it is highly likely that the two zones are part of
the same mineralizing system, representing a continuous strike length of 1.7
kilometres. Good exploration potential also exists to the northwest in the
un-drilled intervening ground between the San Gregorio and La Borracha zones;
where a further 1.5 kilometres of the structure and a coincident silver soil
geochemical anomaly has been identified and remains a priority drill target." 


Assays for three additional holes (CC-11-024, 025 and 026) completed within the
San Gregorio Zone are pending and will be reported when available.

Drilling Discussion

San Gregorio Zone:

Holes CC-11-022 and CC-11-023 were drilled as 100 and 200 metre step-outs along
strike and south of hole CC-11-007 (77.8 metres of 61.4 silver including 14.0
metres of 221.7 g/t silver) to test for a continuation of the San Gregorio
system and associated silver mineralization to the south. 


Hole CC-11-022, drilled at -50 degrees on section 3+50S, intersected
disseminated and druzy quartz stockwork hosted silver mineralization in
siltstones cut by granodiorite to diorite dykes and sills. This geologic setting
was similar to that seen in hole CC-11-023, drilled at -50 degrees on section
2+50S. 


These drill results confirm that the silver bearing San Gregorio Zone can be
traced by diamond drilling on strike for approximately 425 metres (from 0+75N to
3+50S) with this zone remaining open down dip and along strike to the north
(towards the La Borracha Zone) and south to the Las Carolinas Zone. The Company
now believes that the structure hosting silver mineralization at San Gregorio
can be projected under cover to Las Carolinas and both mineralized areas are
part of the same large system. Additional drilling will be completed with the
objective of joining the two zones.

Las Carolinas Zone: 

Holes CC-11-019, 020 and 021 were drilled as step outs to the north of CC-11-016
and CC-11-017 to test a northerly trending silver soil geochemical anomaly.


Hole CC-11-019 was collared at the same location as CC-11-018 (92 metres of 25.8
g/t silver) on section 3+50N, but drilled at -70 degrees to test for possible
disseminated quartz stockwork associated silver mineralization below relatively
unaltered calcareous siltstones. The hole successfully intersected a zone
containing disseminated and druzy quartz vein hosted silver mineralization
approximately 180 meters vertically from surface. 


Holes CC-11-020 and CC-11-021 were collared in relatively unaltered calcareous
siltstones 100 meters further north on section 4+50N. Hole CC-11-020 was drilled
at -55 degrees below a silver soil geochemical anomaly and successfully
confirmed the continuation of silver mineralization to section 4+50N. Hole
CC-11-021 was collared at the same location, but drilled at -70 degrees to test
for possible disseminated quartz stockwork mineralization. Similar to hole
CC-11-019, silver values were obtained in a package of siltstones intruded by
diorite sills measuring approximately 43 meters true thickness. The
silver-bearing zone appears to be flattening to the north and east. 


To date, drilling in Las Carolinas has identified a silver-bearing zone that can
be traced by diamond drilling for approximately 550 metres (from 1+00S to
4+50N). This zone remains open to depth and along strike in both directions. The
recent results from sections 3+50N and 4+50N suggests that the holes may have
been collared too far east, and further drilling will be necessary in this area
to identify a potentially higher grade section of the zone.

Sampling and QA/QC

All technical information for the La Cigarra exploration program is obtained and
reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program.
Samples are taken under the direction of qualified geologists and stored in
sealed bags. Samples are delivered by the Company via courier to ALS Chemex Labs
in Chihuahua for drying, crushing and pulverizing; with the pulps sent
airfreight by ALS Chemex to Vancouver B.C. for analysis. Systematic assaying of
standards and blanks are performed for precision and accuracy. Analysis for
silver, zinc, lead and copper and related trace elements was done by ICP four
acid digestion, with gold analysis by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. 


About the La Cigarra Silver Project

The La Cigarra Project is located in State of Chihuahua along the eastern
fringes of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. Local topography is gentle
with good road access to the major city of Parral, located 26 kilometres to the
south east. The La Cigarra Project hosts a silver-rich, epithermal mineral
system with three identified zones along a three kilometre trend.
