CALGARY, Alberta, July 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- International Frontier Resources Corporation (“IFR”
or the “Company”) (TSX-V:IFR) (OTCQB:IFRTF) announced today the results of the Mexican Energy Reform Onshore Bid Round 2.3
completed on July 12, 2017. Although highly competitive, IFR through its jointly owned Mexican company Tonalli Energia
(“Tonalli”) was not awarded any licenses.
Tonalli placed second in bidding on Block CS-03 and came in third place on Blocks CS-02 and CS-04. The
documentation submitted for Block CS-03 will remain with the Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH) and Tonalli will be awarded
this block if the winner is unable to meet its bid round completion requirements 150 days from today.
Steve Hanson, IFR’s President and CEO and Director of Tonalli Energia said, “We continue to be confident in our
business strategy and look forward to participating in upcoming bid rounds and PEMEX farmouts later this year. The bid round
process and analysis gave our team valuable in-country data strongly confirming our belief the opportunity provided by the Mexican
Energy Reform remains compelling. We continue to focus on advancing our Block Tecolutla and expect to be drilling our first
well this fall.”
IFR was one of the first foreign companies to participate in the historic reform of Mexico’s oil and gas sector.
Last year, Tonalli assumed operatorship of the Tecolutla block from state-owned PEMEX. Tecolutla was acquired through a 50-50
joint venture with Mexican petrochemical leader Grupo IDESA in last year’s onshore block auction.
