International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:INM) (the "Company" or
"Northair") is pleased to provide an update of the ongoing exploration program
underway at its La Cigarra silver project ("Property"), located in north central
Mexico. 


Since the Company acquired the Property, exploration had been concentrated
mainly in the northern half of the open 6.5 kilometre long La Cigarra
mineralized system. Within the trend, drilling has outlined a continuously
mineralized portion with a strike length of approximately 3.6 kilometers defined
by the results of 154 drill holes. In February, utilizing only a 2.1 kilometre
segment comprising the San Gregorio and Las Carolinas areas, the Company
reported a measured and indicated mineral resource estimate of 50.5 million
ounces of silver grading 76 g/t silver (see INM PR#13-05 dated February 26,
2013) contained in a Whittle pit shell at an economic cutoff grade of 30 g/t
silver. Significant quantities of mineralized material existing along strike and
down dip were excluded from the resource estimate in areas where drill-hole
density was not sufficient to bring mineralization into the pit shell boundary. 


Future drilling efforts will focus on this known area, as well as other
immediate exploration targets including those outlined below. For an update
summarizing the La Cigarra silver project, please refer to the Company's press
release dated February 13, 2013. 


Exploration Update:

Recent surface exploration by the Company has concentrated on the largely
unexplored southern 3.5 kilometre portion of the system that lies on trend and
immediately south of the Las Carolinas Zone. This work led to the discovery of
three (3) new zones (Las Venadas, La Soledad and La Chinas). Please click the
following link to view the location of the new zones:

Each zone hosts a cluster of historic mine workings evenly spaced along the
north-south trending mineralized system and exhibit geological similarities to
the three (3) main La Cigarra showings to the north (La Borracha, San Gregorio
and Las Carolinas). Surface sampling within these new zones returned significant
silver values and Northair believes that the Las Venadas, La Soledad and La
Chinas zones all have potential for both high grade veins and bulk tonnage
surface mineable silver deposits. 


Las Venadas, located 500 metres south of Las Carolinas, hosts multiple historic
mine workings including a 20 metre deep shaft and two shallow prospect pits.
Initial rock chip sampling here returned important silver values over an area
measuring 230 metres by 90 metres. Nineteen of thirty three samples exceeded 20
g/t silver including a high of 233 g/t silver. The remaining fourteen samples
returned values ranging from 1.1 g/t to 17.5 g/t silver. Follow up sampling
confirms the presence of a north by northwest trending silver bearing structural
zone measuring 700 meters long by 200 meters wide. This large mineralized area
represents a high priority drill target. In addition, a second area with
anomalous surface silver values up to 34 g/t silver occurs 300 metres west of
the Las Venadas main trend. Based on the alignment and positioning of the
scattered anomalous silver values to the northwest the Company believes that a
parallel mineralized structure may exist on the western limb of the La Cigarra
anticline. 


La Soledad, situated approximately 500 meters south of Las Venadas, contains a
number of large mine dumps and historic mine workings that exploited a series of
silver bearing quartz veins. Although sampling here reported only moderate
silver values, the scope of the historic mine workings are comparable to those
found within the Las Carolinas Zone. Much of the area is covered, but soil
sampling has defined a broad lead anomaly, supporting the probability that the
mineralized system does underlie the covered area. 


Las Chinas is located approximately 1,000 meters south of La Soledad and is
comprised of a number of historic mine workings that exploited silver bearing
quartz-calacite veins. Northair has thus far mapped and sampled 600 metres of
this structure. Sampling yielded relatively low silver values with the exception
of three rock chips that returned values up to 458 g/t over 0.90 metres. This
area is defined by a significant lead-zinc soil anomaly and anomalous gold. The
Company plans further sampling and mapping here with the objective of defining
drill targets.


Summary:

The work done to date in the southern extension of the La Cigarra structure has
demonstrated a robust mineralized system with numerous drill targets. The
permissive geology and attractive surface sampling results present a compelling
opportunity to expand the known resource. The Company is presently prioritizing
target areas for an expected 2013 drilling program. 


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.

requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and approved by Fred Hewett,
the Company's President and CEO, and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. 


About International Northair Mines Ltd.

Northair is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and
development of gold and silver properties in Mexico. The Company is currently
focused on advancing its La Cigarra silver project located in the state of
Chihuahua, which currently hosts a NI 43-101 resource estimate of 50.4 million
ounces of silver in the measured & indicated categories grading 76 g/t silver
and 3.5 million ounces of silver in the inferred category grading 61 g/t silver
constrained by a Whittle pit shell at an economic cutoff grade of 30 g/t silver
(assuming metallurgical recoveries of 84% silver). The La Cigarra silver deposit
also contains appreciable lead and significant zinc and gold values.
