High-Grade Gold Veins on Coffee Dome Project, Alaska

International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. ("ITH" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ITH)(AMEX: THM)(FRANKFURT: IW9) is pleased to announce that trenching carried out as part of its 2007 exploration program at the Coffee Dome Project, Alaska, has intersected high-grade gold veins.

2007 Exploration Program Results

The target at Coffee Dome is gold-arsenic-bismuth-tellurium vein-style mineralization (see NR07-04). During the 2007 exploration program, trenching over the Main Target area exposed veins with grades of up to 168 g/t gold in outcrop (72 samples ranging from 0 to 168 g/t gold) (Tables 1 and 2) and soil surveys defined two large gold anomalies interpreted to reflect part of a significant gold system over 3 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide (including all three target areas) (Figure 1).

The trench results provided insights into the structural controls on the high-grade gold mineralization at Coffee Dome, which appear to be best developed in low-angle vein zones, macroscopically similar in character to the veins at the +5M ounce Pogo Deposit. In addition, the large gold in soil anomaly may reflect the presence of a large bulk tonnage deposit similar to Alaska's largest gold mine, the multi-million ounce Fort Knox deposit located only 15 kilometres to the west. Future work at Coffee Dome (which is road accessible) would involve drill testing both the high-grade low angle gold veins and the large bulk tonnage targets. The Company believes that the Coffee Dome project represents an excellent opportunity for a major world class gold discovery in the shadow of Alaska's largest gold mine.

Implications

Following up on the discovery of high-grade vein float, 530 metres of trenching was carried out in the Main Target area. This trenching resulted in the discovery of a number of highly mineralized fault zones containing narrow high-grade gold veins (Tables 1 and 2). These narrow veins contain pathfinder trace element geochemical signatures (strong gold-arsenic-bismuth-tellurium association) similar to vein hosted mineralization at the world class Pogo gold deposit located in a similar geologic environment 120 kilometres to the southeast. Two main mineralized fault trends exist on the Coffee Dome property, being a steeply dipping north-northeast trend and a low angle (20-30 degrees) east-northeast trend, which together form the general north-northeast overall trend of the larger target area.

The large gold in soil anomaly, anomalous pathfinder trace element signature and complex array of mineralized structures suggest that the Coffee Dome gold system is large and may represent the surface expression of an intrusive related system at depth similar to that at the Fort Knox deposit located 15 kilometres to the west. Poor exposure of the main target area has limited the geologic understanding from surface mapping but airborne geophysics supports the strong northeast trend to the overall mineralized zone.

The key targets for drill testing in 2008 are:

- Testing the potential for a stacked low angle high-grade gold vein system at depth similar to the Pogo deposit.

- Testing the overall large NE trending target for both high-grade and large bulk tonnage deposits.
