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


Drill highlights include:



--  82.95 metres of 121.1 g/t silver in Hole CC-11-011, including 9.35
    metres of 628.7 g/t silver; and  
--  96.5 metres of 76.7 g/t silver in Hole CC-11-010. 



"We continue to be very pleased with the results of the recent drilling," said
Fred Hewett, President & CEO of Northair. "Holes CC-11-010 and CC-11-011 have
confirmed significant silver mineralization at depth, with the San Gregorio Zone
remaining open along strike and down dip. We now have three drill holes that
have encountered the zone at depth and this clearly demonstrates the property's
potential."


While awaiting these assay results, the Company continued its drill program at
the Las Carolinas Zone, located 1,000 metres southeast of the San Gregorio Zone.
Drilling is testing along strike and down dip from Hole CC-11-005, which
returned 48.05 metres of 140.6 g/t silver. The drill will then be moved back to
the San Gregorio Zone to follow up on these continued positive results.

Drilling Discussion 

Holes CC-11-010 and CC-11-011 were drilled 50 metres apart in the San Gregorio
Zone to test for continuity of the silver bearing zone to depth. 


Hole CC-11-010 was drilled as an approximate 50 metre step-out down dip from
CC-11-003, and returned multiple zones with significant druzy quartz veining and
stockwork associated with dyking in siltstones between 36.5 and 192 metres. The
zone remains open to depth.


Hole CC-11-011 was drilled as an approximate 75 metre step-out down dip from
CC-11-004, and returned multiple zones with significant druzy quartz veining and
stockwork associated with dyking in siltstones between 80 and 216 metres. The
zone remains open to depth, and is the deepest mineralization encountered to
date on the property. 


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. Grupo Northair
de Mexico, S.A. de C.A., a subsidiary of Northair, can acquire a 100% property
ownership by making payments over a 5 year period totaling US$445,000 with no
