Vancouver, British Columbia, International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSXV: INM) (“Northair” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE: CDE, TSX: CDM) (“Coeur d’Alene”) has agreed to terms for a $3 million investment in Northair.

Coeur d’Alene has agreed to purchase 10,750,000 Units of Northair at a price of $0.28 per Unit for gross proceeds of $3,010,000. Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share and one half warrant. Each full warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of Northair at a price of $0.40 for a period of 18 months immediately following the closing date. The warrants will be subjected to an accelerated exercise provision if the share price of Northair closes at or above $0.85 for 10 or more consecutive trading days.

“This significant equity investment by Coeur d’Alene, one of North America’s largest primary silver producers, is a strong technical endorsement of Northair’s La Cigarra Project,” said Fred Hewett, President and CEO of Northair. “Despite the turbulent financial markets, this is a very exciting time for the Company as we aggressively advance this new mineral discovery in the historic Parral silver district in central Mexico. Northair will provide shareholders with regular updates as we approach the publication of La Cigarra’s initial resource calculation scheduled for this fall.”
The Company is also arranging a non-brokered private placement for a minimum of $1 million consisting of a minimum of 3,571,429 Units with the same terms and conditions as the Coeur d’Alene financing outlined above in this press release.

Northair will pay a finder’s fee in both private placements in cash or shares, at the election of the Company, of up to 7% of the proceeds raised or the number of Units sold, respectively, through the efforts of the finder. The finder or finders may also receive finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) equal to 7% of the Units placed by the finder. The Finder’s Warrants will have the same terms as the warrants forming part of the Units.

The net proceeds of both private placements will be used to further the Company’s exploration projects and for general corporate purposes. Both share offerings are subject to, among other things, receipt by Northair of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and a hold period of four months for all securities in the private placements.
