International Tower Hill Mines Files Audited Annual Financial Statements for Seven-Month Transitional Fiscal 2011 Year

March 21, 2012

Vancouver, B.C……..International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (“ITH” or the “Company”) - (TSX: ITH, NYSE-A: THM, Frankfurt: IW9) announces that, pursuant to changing its fiscal year-end to December 31, on March 20, 2012 it filed its audited financial statements and associated management discussion and analysis for its seven-month transitional fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.  These documents will be available for viewing on SEDAR and EDGAR and on the Company’s website on Wednesday, March 21, 2012.

The Company also plans to file its Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 on Friday, March 23, 2012 and anticipates these documents will become available for viewing on SEDAR and EDGAR on Monday, March 26, 2012.

This change in year-end will better align the Company’s financial reporting with its operational and budgeting cycle as well as align the financial reporting to those of other industry participants in the mineral resource exploration, development and production sectors (who typically have December 31st fiscal year ends) so as to better enable marketplace assessment of the Company’s business performance. Going forward, the Company's fiscal quarters will end on the last day of March, June, September and December each year.
