Northair Trench Sampling of Ram Zone Yields 16.20 Metres of 99.6
g/t Silver at La Cigarra Silver Project, Mexico
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 28, 2014) -
International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:INM) (the "Company"
or "Northair") is pleased to announce encouraging results from the
ongoing exploration program at its La Cigarra silver project (the
"Property"), located in north central Mexico.
The program, as outlined in the March 25, 2014 press release
(see INM PR#14-03), continues to produce positive results. Recent
mapping, rock and soil sampling on the Company's Ram Zone target
has identified potentially important silver mineralization
approximately 750 metres to the west of the main La Cigarra
resource. The Ram Zone may represent an important parallel zone of
silver mineralization that could significantly add to the economics
of the La Cigarra project.
The Ram Zone is defined by a strong silver in soil anomaly that
has been traced for 900 meters over a north-south trending strike
length with a width varying from 50 to 300 metres. The area hosts
previously unknown mine workings developed along quartz veining and
stockwork in west dipping rocks with similarities to the east
dipping main La Cigarra trend. Sampling of quartz veining and
stockwork exposed in an underground adit, contained within and
parallel to the north-south striking Ram Zone, returned an average
silver grade of 554.8 g/t along 33.50 metres; with grades varying
from 87.8 g/t silver to 2,850 g/t silver. True width of the
structure is estimated at a minimum of 1.2 metres. To better
determine the width of mineralization, an 84 metre long trench
("Trench #1") was excavated perpendicular to and above the sampled
adit and within the Ram Zone anomaly. Results from Trench #1
identified quartz veining and stockwork that returned 35.45 metres
of 67.3 g/t silver (including 16.20 metres of 99.6 g/t silver and
4.85 metres of 141.4 g/t silver). The Ram Zone remains open along
strike to the north and south and down dip to the west.
As a follow-up to these encouraging results, Northair crews are
excavating three additional trenches and eight sample pits along
the strike to expose bedrock in areas where previous soil sampling
yielded highly anomalous silver values. This work is designed to
determine the extent of the targets strike extension in both
directions from Trench #1. The Company will provide updates of this
work program as results become available.

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. The samples are dried, crushed and pulverized
with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis by ALS in
Vancouver B.C. Systematic assaying of standards is 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.
The scientific and technical information in this news release
has been approved by Fred Hewett, the Company's President and CEO,
and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

International Northair Mines Ltd is a mineral exploration
company engaged in the acquisition and development of gold and
silver properties in Mexico. Northair is 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 amounts of lead, zinc and gold as
referenced in the San Gregorio/Las Carolinas Resources Technical
Report La Cigarra Project, Chihuahua Mexico dated effective
February 26, 2013.
