International Montoro Resources Inc. ("IMT") (TSX VENTURE:IMT))(PINK
SHEETS:IMTFF)(FRANKFURT:O4T) has acquired 1,818.6 ha. (4 claims - Chuchinka
Property) contiguous to and adjoining Spectrum Mining Corp's recently reported
rare earth discovery, located 80 km northeast of Prince George, B.C. via Hwy.97,
then east along the all weather Chuchinka Forest Service Road.


In late October, Spectrum Mining reported significant rare earth element
mineralization on its Wicheeda carbonatite-syenite breccia intrusive complex
rare earth discovery. Highlights included a 48.64 metre interval which averaged
3.55% rare earth elements ("REE"), a 72.0 metre interval that averaged 2.92%
REE, and a 144 metre interval which averaged 2.20% REE in three separate drill
holes. (click on attached link to 5th Annual Minerals South Conference
http://www.montororesources.com/projects/wicheeda.pdf). In 2009, eleven NTW
diamond drill holes totalling 1835 m were drilled in the "Main Zone" from 2 new
drilling platforms on Wicheeda. All eleven drill holes intersected significant
rare earth mineralization and the Wicheeda deposit remains open in all
directions.


World recognized carbonatite-rare earth mineralization specialist Anthony
Mariano visited the Wicheeda project during the 2009 drilling program and has
subsequently examined drill core samples as well as rock samples that he
collected on the site. His analytical work including SEM and cathodoluminescense
indicates that the Wicheeda mineralization is mainly quite coarse grained (0.2 m
to 0.5 mm) monazite and a bastnaesite-synchisite mineral. He has also conducted
a bench scale heavy liquid and magnetic separation study on a composite sample
of Wicheeda drill core and was able to produce a high grade REE concentrate that
contained 56.09 wt. %REE. This test indicates that the Wicheeda rare earth
mineralization is simple and easy to produce a marketable concentrate from
compared to most other world rare earth deposits including the dormant world
class rare earth mine at Mountain Pass in California. By also applying a
flotation circuit it should be easy to produce a 60% LREE concentrate from
Wicheeda which would exceed the concentrate grade from Mountain Pass which for
over 40 years was the main North American supplier of rare earth products to the
world.


Several other companies have joined the search for an extension of the Wicheeda
rare earth discovery. Commerce Resources Corp. ("CCE") and Canadian
International Minerals Ltd. ("CIN") also reported encouraging results in their
2009 rock, silt and soil sampling program including a new anomaly that exceeded
the detection limit of greater than 1% cerium, indicative of light rare earth
content, and 309 ppm gadolinium, indicating the presence of heavy rare earths.
Zimtu Capital Corp. ("ZC") also owns claims adjoining the Montoro claims to the
north and west.


The terms of the agreement are as follows:



--  The company is to pay the vendor(s) the sum of $12,000 upon execution of
    the agreement (paid) and a further $38,000 upon TSX Venture Exchange
    approval. 
--  The Company will issue to the vendor(s) 500,000 units at an agreed price
    of $0.05 per unit within five days of TSX approval. Each unit comprises
    one common share of IMT and one common share purchase warrant entitling
    the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of IMT for a
    period of two years at a price of $0.10 per share in the 1st year and
    $0.15 per share (1/2 warrant) in the 2nd year. 
--  The Company will issue to the vendor(s) a further 500,000 units as above
    within six months anniversary of TSX approval. 
--  The vendor(s) will retain a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty under
    standard industry terms with a 1% buyout for $1 million. 



The Company will pay a finder's fee or commission of 8% in accordance with the
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.


REE's are critical components in many high-tech applications including hybrid
motor vehicles, flat screen monitors, high-power magnets, consumable electronics
(Blackberries, iPods, DVDs, cellular phones), green energy technology, fibre
optics, super alloys for the aerospace and building industries, medical and
dental lasers. But even more critical as far as Western governments are
concerned is their use in high-tech strategic military and defense weaponry.
Guided missiles and other precision weapons, for example, rely on rare earth
metals and magnets to help direct their course. Although demand for REE's is
growing rapidly, over 90 percent of global production is controlled by China,
which has recently imposed restrictions on their exports.


With insatiable consumer demand for high tech electronics, clean energy mandates
from countries around the globe and out-of-control military spending, it seems
likely that demand will only increase as supplies are threatened. This is the
recipe for much higher prices in rare earths and the companies that develop
them.


OTHER:

The Company has granted 1,800,000 incentive stock options to directors, officers
and consultants under its Stock Option Plan for a period of three years at a
price of $0.10. All securities issued are subject to regulatory approvals and
