International Gold Resources News Release.

SEATTLE -- International Gold Resources Inc. ("IGR") (OTCBB:IGRU) is in receipt of an independent technical report with a recommendation that IGR commences a core drilling program on its Mahtin Property, in the Yukon Territory in July 2006.

The Mahtin Property is in the McQuesten mineral belt between Dawson City and Mayo. Brewery Creek is on the western end of the belt with 0.85 million oz of gold, and Dublin Gulch and at the eastern end with 4.1 million oz of gold, both are located in the same belt as the Mahtin property (see map).

Exploration work carried out to date on the Mahtin Property consisted of geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys for the gold potential within the claim block. The Mahtin Claim Block comprises of 112 claims on 6,000 acres.

R. A. Doherty, P. Geo., visited the property in 2003 while soil sampling and geophysical surveys were being completed; Chris Ash, P. Geo visited the property in 2004 and 2005 while a soil sampling and trenching program was being completed. Both authors are qualified persons for securities reporting purposes.

The independent report states that the Mahtin property is an excellent exploration target for gold mineralization. The property has significant and widespread gold, arsenic, bismuth, with secondary copper, tungsten, silver, soil and rock geochemical anomalies.

Geochemical soil anomalies are clustered along the northern contact of the quartzmonzonite intrusion with Rabbitkettle Formation calcareous phyllite. There is a good correlation between geology, geochemistry, and geophysical surveys along this contact. The independent report recommends the property be drill tested.

IGR will commence a core drilling program, approximately 3,000 feet (1,000 meters) in July, 2006.
