("Northair" or the "Company") (TSXV:INM), announces that it has closed its non-brokered private placement with the issuance of 13,070,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $653,500. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of Northair for 24 months from the closing date at a price of $0.10 for the 12 months immediately following the closing date and $0.20 thereafter. The warrants will be subject to an accelerated exercise provision if the share price of Northair trades at or above $0.35 for 10 or more consecutive trading days.
Net proceeds of this private placement will be used to further the Company's exploration projects, fund possible new acquisitions and for general working capital.
Northair paid finders fees in respect of certain purchasers of securities introduced to the Company by the finder. The finders' fees equaled 7% of the aggregate amount subscribed to by those purchasers (which totaled 11,650,000) and were paid as to 7% in Units, with these Units having the same terms as the Units issued to the placees.

The common shares issued and the common shares underlying the warrants are subject to a four month hold period that expires on September 20, 2009.
