INTERNATIONAL MILLENNIUM OPTIONS OUT INTEREST IN COBALT ONTARIO DIAMOND PROSPECT TO DIAMONDS EXPLORATION INC,

North Vancouver, B.C. - International Millennium Mining Corp's ("IMMC" or the "Company") (TSX-V: IMI) announces that it has signed a letter of intent with Diamond Exploration Inc. ("DEI") whereby DEI is entitled to earn fifty-one percent (51%) interest, subject to a partially re-purchasable three percent (3%) net smelter return royalty, in thirty-six (36) mining claims comprising IMMC's Cobalt Area Property. Under terms of the agreement, DEI may earn a 51% interest in the property by expending $1,000,000 over a period of up to ten (10) years at an average rate of not less than $100,000 per year and by then delivering to IMMC, five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of DEI. Following DEI's acquisition of an interest in the property, further exploration and development of the claims will be the subject of a joint venture between the parties.

The Cobalt Area Property is located within Lorrain and Gillies Limit North Townships in the Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario. The Property comprises two hundred and fifty (250) claim units in thirty-six (36) contiguous mining claims enclosing approximately four thousand (4,000) hectares.

Exploration by IMMC to date has focused on only two of the more than 20 known lamprophyre zones. The diamond-bearing lamprophyre breccia is coincident with a crudely circular magnetic low as defined by an airborne magnetic survey. Other magnetic low targets form a very distinct northeasterly trend that has not been explored. Additionally, none of the kimberlite indicator mineral anomalies has been followed up. Airborne magnetic surveys have defined several prospective targets with kimberlitic signatures that warrant evaluation.

As stated in the DEI press release January 26, 2009 the DEI technical team believes that diamond stability field conditions exist within the mantle root beneath the Cobalt area. The presence of diamond-bearing lamprophyres confirms that the mantle is fertile for diamonds in this region. Follow up work will focus on assessment of priority kimberlite targets and additional evaluation of the most prospective of the lamprophyre breccias.
