Fresnillo Starts Drilling At La India Project

VANCOUVER, BC - International Northair Mines Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary Grupo Northair de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. have received notification from Fresnillo PLC, that it has commenced an initial diamond drill program at Northair's wholly owned La India gold property, located in the State of Durango, Mexico. The drill program, the first conducted on the property, will initially be comprised of a minimum of five diamond drill holes totaling approximately 650 metres in length. The La India Project is situated along the eastern edges of the Sierra Madre Occidental province, with low sulfidation gold mineralization occurring associated with rhyolite domes and volcanics. The property is located approximately 140 km north of the state capital city of Durango with excellent local access and infrastructure. The principal target within La India is the breccia zone originally defined by Northair when it acquired the property. Fresnillo has since completed a surface geological mapping and sampling program which has defined an irregular surface area of mineralization having an exposed strike length of approximately 400 metres with widths ranging up to 60 metres. Fresnillo's stated objective for the drill program is to define a mineralized body with a grade exceeding 1 g/t gold that could be mined by open pit methods. Fresnillo has also stated that they believe there is potential for higher grade zones in the breccia ranging from 4 to 12 metres in width, with an average grade of 6.0 g/t gold.
Northair also maintains the El Reventon silver-lead-zinc project in the state of Durango, and the Sierra Rosario silver-gold project (in a joint venture with Sparton Resources Inc.) in Sinoloa. Both properties cover attractive mineral occurrences and the Company is soliciting interest from possible joint venture partners in order to advance the projects.
