IRI IEMR Resources Inc

IRI (TSX VENTURE:IRI), is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent
with PharmaFoods International of Kyoto, Japan, to use their Vaccine to produce
Helicobacter Pylori antibodies to service their existing market and to jointly
develop and market an Avian Influenza specific antibody. The Letter of Intent
also includes Sceti K.K. as a partner to market and distribute IRI products in
Japan. Sceti K.K. provides market entry for foreign companies that offer
innovative solutions to problems in the fields of medical diagnostic and
industrial manufacturing.


PharmaFoods International Co. Ltd (PFI) is a leading Venture company in Japan
and markets a variety of IgY antibody products. PFI proposes to supply IRI with
their H. Pylori vaccine from which IRI will produce a 50% pure specific antibody
product targeted at the H. Pylori bacteria. PFI hopes to expand its market by
introducing the IRI Product, which has a higher assay than is currently
available.


H. Pylori bacteria are responsible for the symptoms associated with stomach
ulcers and can be controlled with H. Pylori antibodies. It has been estimated
that a majority of Asians and Mexicans suffer from the HP bacteria. Although
antibiotics are currently prescribed for such conditions there is a 15% failure
with antibiotics and similar re-infection.


IRI has been carrying out research with H. Pylori antibodies and has been
supplying such product to some 30 H. Pylori patients over the past three years.
By working with PFI and servicing their existing market, IRI expects to have
product on the Asian Market in 2009.


Avian Influenza (H5N1) is considered by the World Health Organization as
possibly the next Pandemic to hit the human population. There have been several
incidents in Asia and death occurs with days of the virus being contracted.
Although human vaccines have been approved it takes the human immune system over
three weeks to develop the required antibodies to combat the virus infection.
Preliminary research carried out by the Canadian Department of Defense has shown
in animal studies, that inhalation of the H5N2 Avian influenza antibodies gives
immediate protection against the virus. There is also some evidence that it will
give protection against other H5 flu related viruses.


PharmaFoods International Co. Ltd., in collaboration with Sceti K.K. have stated
that they wish to work with IRI in the validation and marketing of the Avian
Influenza antibodies and IRI will arrange to secure the required eggs from H5N2
vaccinated chickens. The delivery system proposed by the Japanese group is such
that prolonged clinical trials will not be required.


To enable IRI to perform the terms of the Japanese agreement:

IRI is currently negotiating with creditors to restructure existing debt and
effect a sale of certain egg breaking assets, not required in the antibody
extraction process, for cash and other consideration:


As part of the restructuring, the resignation of David Mason has been accepted
as a Director, although David will continue as the Chief Operation Officer.
(COO). The Company is also negotiating the cancelling of all options to company
employees and contractors. A lawsuit relating to the supply of $150,000.00 of
shell eggs to the egg breaking facility over the four week period prior to the
closure of the facility has been issued against a subsidiary of IRI which we
anticipate will be resolved during the restructuring.


IRI is considering two proposals relative to the takeover of the Sales and
Marketing operations, such proposals include the injection of working capital
into the IRI operations.


IRI advises that it has been unable to update its website. For the most recent
information please see the Company's filings on SEDAR. IRI's website will be
updated upon completion of restructuring.
