The ex-dividend date will be December 12, 2012. Under Canadian tax law, the Company is required to withhold tax at the rate of 25% on the payment of any dividend to shareholders who are non-residents of Canada; unless a shareholder can prove that a reduced withholding is permitted. Under applicable Canadian tax treaties with foreign countries (such as Switzerland, Germany and the United States, etc), the Canadian withholding tax rate may be reduced to 15% or less if shareholders provide their brokerage firm, or for registered shareholders the Company's Transfer Agent (see contact information below), with the appropriate documentation supporting the applicable withholding rate. In addition, certain qualified foreign pension funds owning IMZ shares may be able to obtain an exemption from the withholding requirements provided that the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency grants an exemption based on submittal of a letter requesting the exemption by the qualified pension fund. In addition, all shareholders subject to taxation in the United States must provide the Company's transfer agent with their taxpayer identification number. The Company expects that the payment of this dividend will be recognized as an eligible dividend as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The Company does not assume any responsibility for the applicability or accuracy of any general taxation statements contained in this news release and shareholders are encouraged to consult with their own financial advisors to determine their eligibility with respect to any reduction in the mandatory Canadian tax withholding and other taxation matters pertaining to this dividend. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News: For additional information, contact: In North America Paul Durham, VP Corporate Relations Tel: +1 203 883 8358 In Europe Oliver Holzer, Marketing Consultant Tel: +41 44 853 00 47 Renmark Financial Communications: Christine Stewart, Tel: +1-416-644-2020 or Robert Thaemlitz, Tel: +1-514-939-3989 Or send an e-mail to: Information@intlminerals.com Internet Site: http://www.intlminerals.com Transfer Agent: Computershare Investor Services 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2YI Attention: Shareholder Inquiries Telephone: In North America 1-800-564-6253 (toll free); International 1-514-982-7555 Facsimile: In North America 1-866-249-7775 (toll free); International 1-416-263-9524 Cautionary Statement: This release contains 'forward-looking' statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.
