NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - July 10, 2013) - International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:INM) ("Northair" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to complete non-brokered private placements (the "Private Placements") for proceeds of approximately C$1,500,000. Coeur Mining Inc. (NYSE:CDE)(TSX:CDM) ("Coeur") has entered into a letter of intent to purchase 9,600,000 common shares at a price of $0.14 (the "Coeur Placement") and, in connection with this subscription to cancel all its outstanding warrants to acquire common shares of the Company.

The Company also intends to complete a non-brokered private placement consisting of Units (the "Unit") at $0.145 for anticipated gross proceeds of a minimum C$250,000 (the "Additional Placement"). Each Unit of the Additional Placement 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 $0.25 for a period of 24 months following the closing date.

The issue prices of the Private Placements represent a premium of 27% and 32% respectively to the closing price of the Company's common shares on July 9, 2013.

"We appreciate the support of our shareholders during these times of poor market conditions for resource equities," said Fred Hewett, President and CEO of Northair. "Coeur has agreed with Northair to cancel all of its outstanding Northair warrants and the Company truly values the assistance. This financing will allow Northair to advance its La Cigarra Project and work towards completing several of its strategic objectives including the final purchase of key surface rights."

Northair will pay a finder's fee for both private placements in cash of up to 5.0% of the proceeds raised. Proceeds of the private placements will be used for Northair's La Cigarra Project and for general working capital.

The letter of intent with Coeur Mining is non-binding and subject to execution of definitive documentation and both private placements are subject to, among other things, board approval with receipt by Northair of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and customary closing conditions and deliverables. Northair anticipates executing final documentation and closing the private placement on or before July 17, 2013.
