Brazil Cupixi-Manganese Brazil Gold Canada, Yukon Mahtin Bonanza Crown Jewel Horn Assay Results Reports	Brazil Projects International Gold Resources, Inc. controls over 250,000 hectares of land on 8 different Claim Areas in Amapa State, Brazil, see "Figure 1 - IGR Claim Areas, Amapa, Brazil" below. The Brazilian Amapa Belt, part of the Precambrian Guyana Shield containing "greenstones", which are highly prospective for gold and other metals, traverses Amapa State, Brazil. The "greenstones" are found in Amapa, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela to the North of Brazil and in Ghana and other Countries of West Africa, see "Figure 2 - Guyana Shield" below. Africa and South America were joined as one continent over 200 million years ago when the "greenstone" mineralization was formed. The same type of gold deposits found in West Africa in the Guyana Shield are believed to exist in the "greenstones" of the Brazilian Amapa Belt. Some of the major gold mines in the Guyana Shield are indicated in Figure 2. IGR has identified several gold and one manganese target on our Brazilian Claim Areas. Figure 1 - IGR Claim Areas, Amapa, Brazil. Click to Enlarge Figure 2 - Guyana Shield Click to Enlarge Cupixi - Manganese Within IGR's Amapa State, Brazil Claim Areas are several Claim Blocks totaling about 100,000 hectares in the Cupixi Project Area, located about 20 kilometers west of the town of Porto Grande. Preliminary work consisting of air-borne geophysics, soil sampling, geochemical analysis, mapping, test pitting, and regional geologic and structural research have identified a manganese target at Cupixi, see "Figure 3 - Cupixi Manganese Claim Area, Amapa, Brazil" below. Based on preliminary results, IGR contracted Behre Dolbear, a recognized World leader in mineral engineering and consulting services, to conduct a review of IGR's results, see "Behre Dolbear Report IGR Properties in Brazil" in the Projects-Reports section of the IGR website. Behre Dolbear concluded "exploration to date shows a geochemical anomaly with high manganese oxide content". Figure 3 - Cupixi Manganese Claim Area, Amapa, Brazil Click to Enlarge Numerous surface manganese outcrops have been identified on the Cupixi Claims. Selected IGR sampling results are shown below, "Figure 4 - Cupixi Manganese Sample Results". Geological analysis of this mineralization, its physical appearance, its characteristics of dip, strike, and trend, and regional geophysical structures suggest that the Cupixi mineralization exhibits a high likelihood of being a continuation of the rich manganese deposit at Serra do Novio discovered approximately 50 km to the northwest at ICOMI and mined by Bethlehem Steel for more than 40 years. As a result of the ICOMI mining operations, good infrastructure exists in the area in paved roads, railroad, power, and port facilities. Figure 4 - Cupixi Manganese Sample Results Click to Enlarge IGR contracted Tobias Geotech, a Brazilian professional geologist, to provide geology and technical support for the Cupixi Project and prepare the necessary reports for Claim compliance with Brazilian regulatory agencies. As a result of this work in 2007, Tobias has estimated there are at least 35 to 50 million tonnes of manganese ore at Cupixi. IGR does not have a United States SEC or equivalent compliant ore reserve estimate for Cupixi. Examples of Cupixi Manganese outcropping material are shown in the following photographs taken on the Cupixi Claim Areas. Also shown are photographs of the local infrastructure.

Each property location is shown in "Figure 6 - Yukon Claim Areas" below. In total, IGR controls 11,620 hectares of highly prospective gold exploration land. Behre Dolbear was retained in September 2007, to review IGR's properties in the Yukon. The report can be viewed in the Projects-Reports Section of IGR's website, "www.intlgold.com". Figure 6 - Yukon Claim Areas Click to Enlarge Mahtin The Mahtin property consists of 118 Claims located 135 km east of Dawson City, Yukon, see "Figure 6 - Yukon Claim Area", above. The Mahtin Property is an exploration target for Tombstone Suite plutonic related gold mineralization. Mahtin is in the McQuesten mineral belt between Dawson City and Mayo. It is an under-explored mineral occurrence among many that have seen extensive exploration. It is also the only Tombstone Suite stock intruding the calcareous Rabbit Kettle Formation, which is considered a good host for replacement style gold skarn mineralization. The Tombstone gold belt extends for 2,000 kilometers across Yukon and Alaska. It hosts deposits located at Donlin Creek (23 million oz. of gold), Fort Knox (5.4 million oz. of gold), Brewery Creek (0.85 million oz. gold), and Dublin Gulch (4.1 million oz. gold). IGR's consulting geologist in the Yukon published a Canadian NI 43-101 compliant report on Mahtin in May 2006. Two reports, "Technical Report on the Mahtin Property, Red Mountain Area, Yukon", and "Report on the Mahtin Property 2007 Diamond Drilling Red Mountain Area, Yukon" can be reviewed in the Projects - Reports Section of IGR's website. Mahtin is unique in that the Tombstone Suite Sprague Creek intrusive occurs with Rabbit Kettle siltstone providing good opportunity for skarn type mineralization, see "Photo 5 - Mahtin Rabbit Kettle Formation" and "Photo 6 - Mahtin Looking Northeast" below. Photo 5 - Mahtin Rabbit Kettle Formation Click to Enlarge Photo 6 - Mahtin Looking Northeast Click to Enlarge Since 2004, when IGR obtained the Option to acquire the Mahtin Property, over 500 surface soil samples, local and regional airborne magnetic surveys, mapping, and 1,000 meters of test core drilling have been conducted on the Mahtin Property. The work confirms the existence of anomalous gold along a strike length of about 2.0 km, see "Figure 7 - Mahtin Gold Anomaly", below. The results of work to-date at Mahtin are summarized in a report included in IGR's website Projects - Reports Section entitled "Report on the Mahtin Property 2007 Diamond Drilling Red Mountain Area Yukon". In the report, Al Doherty, IGR's consulting Professional geologist in the Yukon, states, "The drilling program was completed in 2007 and the results included four intercepts in hole MH-07-04 that returned between 0.71 and 2.40 grams per tonne gold". In total, there were 43 drill intercepts that exceeded 0.15 g/t, see Appendix A, "Report on the Mahtin Property 2007 Diamond Drilling Red Mountain Area Yukon". Doherty goes on to say, "The mineralized sheeted quartz vein and alteration style are very similar to that found on nearby properties such as Red Mountain 7 km to the northeast that have developed substantial areas of 1-3 g/t Au over significant widths of up to 150 m". Figure 7 - Mahtin Gold Anomaly Click to Enlarge Bonanza The Bonanza Claims are situated approximately 20 km west of the Crown Jewel property and are a contiguous 88 Claim Block area located on the east side of the Bonanza Creek road just north of Dawson City, Yukon, see "Figure 8 - Bonanza Location Map", below, in the historic Klondike Gold Area. The Klondike Goldfields and particularly Bonanza, Hunker and Eureka creeks have produced an estimated 13 million ounces of placer gold since the discovery in 1897. No significant bedrock source for the placer gold has been discovered. A total of 1398 grid soil samples were collected across the Bonanza claims in 2007. Of these, fourteen samples were in he >99th percentile (27.20-237.70 ppb Au); fourteen samples were between 98-99th percentile (17.30-26.0 ppb Au); and forty-one samples were between the 95-97th percentile (10.50-17.0 ppb Au). The median value for the 1398 samples collected is 2.40 ppb gold. These surface soil samples, see "Figure 9 - Bonanza Sample Locations", below, regional magnetic surveys, and field mapping indicate a large gold anomaly exists, see "Figure 10 - Bonanza Gold Anomaly", below. Mapping on the Bonanza property in 2004 and 2005 indicates the area is underlain primarily by variably deformed, metamorphosed and hydrothermally altered equivalents of the mid-Permian Klondike Assemblage, and Sulphur Creek orthogneiss. A graphitic siltstone unit that is both locally highly carbonaceous and tectonized locally overlie these metamorphic rocks. Three distinct dike types are recognized intruding the Klondike Assemblage. A summary of the 2007 Bonanza work results can be reviewed in the Projects - Reports Section of IGR's website, in the report titled "Report on the 2007 Work Program on Bonanza Claims Yukon".

International Gold Resources, Inc. has an option to earn 100% interest in the Crown Jewel group of claims staked along Hunker Creek in the historic Klondike Goldfields district of the Yukon Territory, Canada. The Crown Jewel claim block covers most of the upper drainages of Hunker Creek and Gold Bottom Creek, a main tributary of Hunker Creek. Hunker Creek was and is one of the top five most productive placer gold creeks in the Klondike District. Hunker Creek has produced some 1.9 million oz. of gold since the discoveries of 1898, and is still producing some 6,000 oz. annually. Figure 11 - Crown Jewel Location Click to Enlarge 1305 soil samples were collected during the 2007 exploration season, see "Figure 12 - Crown Jewel Sample Locations", below. In addition, regional magnetic surveys and field mapping have identified two major gold anomalies, King and Mint, see "Figure 13 -- Crown Jewel Gold Anomalies", below. The areas of anomalous gold in soils on the King target are underlain by metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks comprised mainly of quartz-muscovite-chlorite schist with a zone of carbonate-sericite-pyrite altered quartz-muscovite-chlorite schist. The Mint zone is underlain by similar rocks but also exposes a thin slice of transported ophiolite ultramafic rocks. The King anomaly may represent a volcanogenic massive sulphide target or an epithermal gold target similar to those located at the Sheba veins to the southeast of the Crown Jewel claims. In 2007, six samples returned gold values between 55.5 and 63.1 PPB (parts per billion). Another 20 samples returned gold values between 28.9 and 54.0 PPB, which are all in the 95 percentile of the sample population, see Figure 14 - Crown Jewel Gold Anomalies -- King and Mint, below. These sample results have identified a King target area of about 3.0 km by 0.15 km. The Mint anomaly is located some 8 km north of King. 414 samples were collected in 2007. The results of this sampling program have identified two zones 500 m long on each side of Mint Creek. It is believed the Mint soil target could be related to gold quartz veins. The 2007 exploration results for Crown Jewel can be viewed in detail in the report, "Report on 2007 Soil Sampling Mapping and Prospecting on the Crown Jewel Property, Dawson Mining District" in the Projects - Reports Section of IGR's website.

The property consists of 30 contiguous claims, see "Figure 6 - Yukon Claim Area", above and "Figure 15 - Horn Claim Area", below. Surface soil samples, regional magnetic surveys, and local mapping have indicated an anomalous gold occurrence, see "Figure 16 - Horn Gold Anomaly", below.
