Quality Silver Assets are Scarce
.....We Have Several

International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSXV: INM) (the "Company" or "Northair") is pleased to report that a 1,500 metre phase I reverse circulation drill program has commenced at the La Cigarra Project, located in north central Mexico. The La Cigarra silver property covers three mineralized zones within a 3 kilometre trend of altered sedimentary rocks (click here to view map).

The target areas to be tested by the 1,500 metre drill program are the Las Carolinas, San Gregorio and La Boracha zones. Results of surface sampling by the Company within these three zones have returned significant silver values ranging between 2.5 g/t silver to over 1,900 g/t silver, with sample lengths variable from 1 to 10 metres. To the knowledge of the Company, no previous significant modern exploration or drilling has been conducted on the property.

The La Cigarra silver 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 property hosts a silver-rich epithermal mineral system controlled by northwest striking faults within sedimentary rocks and related to rhyolite dykes and flows. 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 royalties.

The grades reported at La Cigarra appear to be similar in scale to those of the Santa Barbara-San Francisco del Oro sub-districts of Parral that have produced over 440 million ounces of silver. Although La Cigarra has probably had very limited silver production, the Parral Region in total has produced over one billion ounces of silver and over one million ounces of gold, placing it in the top ten silver districts in Mexico.
