NEWS RELEASE

KIMBERLITE DISCOVERED ON FIRST GEOPHYSICAL TARGET

Intertech Minerals Corp., (the "Company"), has been advised by Kennecott
Canada Exploration Inc., ("Kennecott"), that volcaniclastic and hypabyssal
kimberlite have been encountered in a diamond drill hole testing the first
of approximately 30 airborne geophysical targets to be investigated during
the C$1.2 million 1999 exploration program on the Afridi Lake property,
located in the Lac De Gras area, some 320 km northeast of Yellowknife,
N.W.T.

This discovery, designated the Jordan kimberlite, is a strong total field
magnetic low anomaly situated at an apparent break in a northwest trending
diabase dyke, in the extreme northwest corner of the property, 4.5 km due
west of the DA 1 - 3 diamond-bearing kimberlites discovered in early 1996.
Details of the hole are as follows:

HOLE: Jordan 99J-2
(Bearing 250 degrees, Inclination -55 degrees)

Meters Description

* 0 - 16.7 : water (2.44m) and overburden
* 16.7 - 50.9 : volcaniclastic kimberlite
* 50.9 - 62.5 : biotite schist
* 62.5 - 77.1 : hypabyssal kimberlite
* 77.1 - 84.4 : diabase

Kimberlite intersected in this hole totals 48.8 meters, (160.2 feet).
Samples of the kimberlite will be forwarded to Kennecott's laboratory in
Thunder Bay, Ontario, for petrographic and caustic fusion analysis, results
of which are expected to be available within four to six weeks.

Kennecott has elected to drill another hole, Jordan 99J-3 from the same set
up, at an inclination of -80 degrees; as of midday March 14, 1999 this hole
was at a depth of 30.2 meters and had intersected 18.2 meters of
volcaniclastic kimberlite. The hole continues to be drilled in kimberlite
and is expected to be completed in the next two days, weather permitting.

A second drill is expected to commence drilling on targets located in the
southern portion of the property within the next several days.

Intertech is a Vancouver, B.C. based, VSE listed Canadian diamond
exploration company with a 100% beneficial interest in the promising Afridi
Lake Diamond Property.(1) The Afridi Lake property, 52,591 hectares,
(129,952-acre), is located 80 km southeast of the Ekati Diamond Mine
(operated by BHP Diamonds Inc., DiaMet Minerals Corp., et al) and 45 km
southeast of the Diavik mine (being developed by Diavik Diamond Mines Inc.
and Aber Resources Ltd).

In late 1998, the Company granted Kennecott Canada Explorations Inc. an
option to acquire an undivided 60% interest in the claims. The option may
be exercised at any time by Kennecott prior to December 11, 2005, by
completing exploration expenditures totalling C$25.0 million or
alternatively, by announcing a decision to begin construction and
development of a mine. During the option period, Kennecott will be the
