Two unidentified sources of the INTEGRAL all-sky catalog (Krivonos et al. 2007): IGR J06239-6052 (see also Gotz et al. 2006, A&A, 448, 873) and 1ES 1210-646 (see also Revnivtsev et al. 2006, Astr.Lett, 32, 145, Elvis et al. 1992, ApJS, 80, 257) were observed with the XRT telescope onboard the SWIFT observatory that allowed us to identify their nature. IGR J06239-6052: An accurate localization of the source with SWIFT/XRT (RA=06 23 45.613, Dec=-60 58 45.39, J2000, a position uncertainty of ~4 arcsec) clearly indicates that it is an active nucleus in the galaxy ESO 121-IG 028 at the redshift z=0.040521.
