Intrepid Mines Limited ("Intrepid", or the "Company") (TSX:IAU)(ASX:IAU) reports that it has acquired 10,000,000 units (each, a "Unit") of New Nadina Explorations Limited (TSX VENTURE:NNA) ("New Nadina") at a price of $0.10 per Unit, representing an aggregate purchase price of C$1,000,000 pursuant to a non-brokered private placement financing of New Nadina (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of New Nadina (a "Share") and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant of New Nadina (a "Warrant"). Each one whole Warrant is exercisable into one further Share at $0.15 per Share for a period of up to two years after the issue of the Warrant. The 10,000,000 Shares comprising part of the Units acquired by Intrepid represent 12.6% of the total Shares outstanding as of the date of issue.

Following the completion of the Private Placement, Intrepid owns and controls a total of 10,000,000 Shares representing 12.6% of the issued and outstanding Shares of New Nadina. Assuming the exercise of the 5,000,000 Warrants, Intrepid would own or control 15,000,000 Shares representing 17.75% of the then issued and outstanding Shares of New Nadina, calculated on a partially diluted basis.

The Shares and Warrants comprising the Units acquired by Intrepid pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period expiring four months after the issue of New Nadina shares. Intrepid purchased the Units in reliance on the exemption from prospectus requirements in Section 2.10 of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions of the Canadian Securities Administrators, for investment purposes.

New Nadina is a Tier 2 Mining Issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Funds raised from this private placement will be used principally to further explore the Silver Queen property near Houston, British Columbia where a porphyry system was discovered in 2011. Exploration activity will initially include approximately 5,000 metres of diamond drilling to follow up previous results and further test geophysical targets.

"Our investment in New Nadina is a continuation of Intrepid's policy of investing in high potential growth opportunities, in select jurisdictions globally," said Intrepid CEO, Brad Gordon.
