Northair and Focus Sign Definitive Agreement for El Reventon Property, Mexico

International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSXV: INM) (the "Company" or "Northair") is pleased to announce that it has signed a Definitive Agreement with Focus Ventures Ltd. (TSX-V: FCV) granting Focus the option to acquire a majority interest in the El Reventon Property, located in the State of Durango, Mexico. In addition to terms previously announced (see press release dated April 10, 2012), the parties have agreed that once Focus has earned its 65% interest in the property by investing in exploration and making certain cash payments to Northair, Focus can increase its interest to 80% by completing a Feasibility Study.

Focus can earn a 65% interest in the El Reventon Project by incurring US$2,000,000 in exploration expenditures over three years, including a firm commitment of US$250,000 in the first year. Focus will also make cash payments to Northair totalling US$235,000 over two years, and maintain all underlying obligations of Northair by making cash payments under an existing option agreement to a property owner totalling US$139,000. Focus can earn an additional 15% interest by presenting a Feasibility Study of sufficient quality that would allow Northair to fund its share of the project, plus a cash payment of $100,000 to Northair.
