International Northair Mines Ltd.: Focus Ventures Returns El Reventon Project

International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:INM) ("Northair" or the
"Company") announces that Focus Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FCV) ("Focus") has
terminated its option to acquire an interest in the Company's El Reventon
silver-gold property ("El Reventon" or the "Property"), located in the State of
Durango, Mexico. 


Work on the Property by Focus included a review and re-evaluation of all
previous data, surface sampling and diamond drilling. Focus had originally
planned to carry out a 2,000 metre diamond drill program on the Property to test
several targets, however party due to mechanical problems with the contracted
drill equipment only approximately 500 metres in two holes were completed at the
Estrella and Chicle zones. However, Focus' drilling did successfully encounter
high-grade silver mineralization at depth in both holes. The most significant
intersections found within the two holes were 2 metres of 305 g/t silver, which
included 0.3 g/t gold from 239.6 metres down-hole at the Chicle Zone and 2
metres of 115 g/t silver from 188 metres down-hole at the Estrella Zone. 


Focus' drill program was unable to test the Reventon Breccia Zone, where
previous drilling by Northair in 2007 and 2008 returned significant intercepts
of silver, zinc and lead within the majority of the completed holes, which
included 155.4 metres of 71.3 g/t silver, 0.46% lead and 0.61% zinc from hole
RC-08-08 and 22.9 metres of 287 g/t silver, 1.39% lead and 3.48% zinc from hole
RC-08-13.


Northair now holds a 100% interest in the El Reventon silver-gold property,
which consists of 3,370 hectares. The Property includes a 100% interest in the
60 hectare internal concession covering the Reventon Breccia, which was
previously covered by an option agreement prior to Focus completing payments to
the property owner as per the agreement with Northair. The El Reventon Property
was acquired by Northair in 2006 and subsequent exploration by the Company
identified numerous precious metal occurrences throughout the Property including
the Reventon Breccia. 


Northair appreciates the professional work that Focus completed on its El
Reventon Project and will assess the results of their exploration program before
deciding how to move the Property forward.


Sampling Quality Analysis and Quality Control

Core was first split in half using a diamond core splitter and then logged, and
each box photographed prior to sampling. Half-core samples were bagged,
security-sealed and transported by Inspectorate to their laboratories in Durango
for preparation and shipping of pulps to Reno for analysis. Silver was
determined by multi-acid digestion and ICP-AES, with fire assay gravimetric
finish. Gold was assayed by Atomic Adsorption Spectrometry with fire assay
gravimetric finish. Quality control by Oro Pacific involved the insertion of
blind certified standards and blanks into the sample stream at regular intervals
in order to independently assess analytical precision and accuracy of each batch
of samples as they are received from the laboratory.
