Northair Confirms Parallel Mineralized Silver Zone at La Cigarra Project, Mexico

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/26/13 -- International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: INM) (the "Company" or "Northair") is pleased to announce that exploration at its La Cigarra silver project (the "Property") located in north central Mexico, has identified a potentially significant mineralized zone known as La Navidad.

The La Navidad Zone was discovered as part of a broad geological mapping and sampling program carried out on its 32,000 hectare La Cigarra land package. This new zone appears to represent a mineral trend situated approximately 600 metres to the east and parallel to the main La Cigarra mineralized trend, which currently hosts a measured and indicated mineral resource of 50.5 million ounces of silver grading 76 g/t silver (see INM PR#13-05 dated February 26, 2013).

"La Navidad represents an exceptional target with clear potential to expand the silver resource on the La Cigarra project," said Fred Hewett, President & CEO of Northair. "This new area, situated parallel to the San Gregorio Zone, offers considerable exploration upside to complement the potential that already exists on the open 6.5 kilometre long La Cigarra mineralized system, which the Company is currently evaluating for future drilling."

The geology of La Navidad appears identical to that hosting silver mineralization in the San Gregorio Zone, with easterly dipping altered sedimentary rocks intruded by dikes and sills and cut by faulting. Rock sampling comprising chip, channel and grab samples in the area has defined an anomalous silver bearing zone approximately 470 metres in length and over 200 metres in width paralleling San Gregorio. Twenty four rock samples were taken within this anomalous area with values ranging from 0.1 g/t to 63.7 g/t silver; with eleven samples returning greater than 5 g/t silver.

Systematic soil sampling on a 50 metre by 50 metre grid has defined a strong silver-in-soil anomaly measuring 700 metres in length and 50 to 250 metres wide that is largely coincident with the anomalous rock silver values. The central core of the soil anomaly, as defined by the 5 ppm silver contour, is comprised of 25 soil samples with a low of 5 ppm silver and a high of 21.7ppm silver. Scattered but anomalous gold values up to 727 ppb occur within the soil anomaly.

Northair is currently conducting further studies to define and prioritize targets for possible drilling.

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 Minerals ("ALS") in Chihuahua and Inspectorate America Corporation ("Inspectorate") in Durango City. In both cases the samples are dried, crushed and pulverized with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis by ALS to Vancouver B.C. and by Inspectorate to Vancouver, B.C. or Reno, Nevada. 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.
