International Frontier Resources Corporation (“IFR” or the
“Company”) (TSX-V: IFR), is pleased to
announce that IFR and Tonalli Energia (“Tonalli”), a joint venture
between Mexican petrochemical leader Grupo Idesa and IFR, (“IFR
Group”), have signed a Letter of Intent with Simmons Edeco, a
Canadian based oilfield services corporation and its financing
affiliates (“Simmons”). The investment is set out in two Tranches,
of $1,000,000 USD and up to $6,000,000 USD which are subject to
certain conditions being met.
Proposed Terms of the
Transaction
Tranche A
Financing
Under the terms of the Tranche A Letter of
Intent, it is anticipated that the parties will enter into a
binding agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”)
pursuant to which Simmons will contribute $1,000,000 USD for
development capital at Tonalli’s Tecolutla block in the state of
Veracruz Mexico. The estimated total capital required for the
TEC-12 work program is estimated to be $1,500,000 USD.
As consideration for the Investment, IFR Group
will grant to Simmons, a pre-payout royalty from revenue generated
from the Tecolutla block. After payout has been satisfied, a
reduced royalty on existing production will be payable for the life
of the field.
Tranche
B Financing
Under the terms of the Tranche B Letter of
Intent, the parties are interested in exploring and negotiating a
business agreement pursuant to which Simmons would provide
financial and service support in an amount of up to $6,000,000 USD
to IFR Group to fund drilling and development work based on the
acquisition of interests in additional onshore oil and gas blocks
in Mexico. The Tranche B Financing is intended to be negotiated and
structured in a manner that allows the IFR Group to draw on
available funds to cover these costs.
Conditions of the Transaction
Completion of the proposed Transactions is
subject to (i) completion of due diligence where Simmons will
conduct financial, geological and operational due diligence and
(ii) execution of the Definitive Agreement. All parties
will endeavor to complete the requisite due diligence and
definitive agreements such that drilling activities can commence at
Tecolutla within Q1 2021 in accordance with the terms of Tranche A
Letter of Intent.
Simmons and the IFR Group will enter into a
services agreement pursuant to which Simmons will provide drilling
services from its fleet of fully equipped rigs, as well as other
services already operating in Mexico, required for the work at
Tecolutla.
Simmons previously provided drilling services to
IFR's Mexican joint venture Tonalli Energia and has been providing
onshore drilling services in Mexico since 2015. As a qualified
operator under Mexican regulations, Tonalli Energia has a proven
track record and is focused on expanding its opportunities in the
upstream and midstream oil and gas sector.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward‐looking
statements and forward‐looking information (collectively
"forward‐looking information") within the meaning of applicable
securities laws relating to the Company's plans, strategy, business
model, focus, objectives and other aspects of IFR's anticipated
future operations and financial, operating and drilling and
development plans and results, including, expected future
production, production mix, reserves, drilling inventory, net debt,
cash flow, operating netbacks, decline rate and decline profile,
product mix, capital expenditure program, capital efficiencies,
commodity prices, tax pools and targeted growth. In addition, and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this press
release contains forward‐looking information regarding: anticipated
cost savings and operational efficiencies; anticipated capital cost
estimations; the focus and allocation of IFR's 2019 capital budget;
anticipated production rates, available free cash flow,
management's view of the characteristics and quality of the
opportunities available to the Company; and other matters ancillary
or incidental to the foregoing.
Forward‐looking information typically uses words
such as "anticipate", "believe", "project", "target", "guidance",
"expect", "goal", "plan”, "intend" or similar words suggesting
future outcomes, statements that actions, events or conditions
"may", "would", "could" or "will" be taken or occur in the future.
The forward‐looking information is based on certain key
expectations and assumptions made by IFR's management, including
expectations concerning prevailing commodity prices, exchange
rates, interest rates, applicable royalty rates and tax laws;
capital efficiencies; decline rates; future production rates and
estimates of operating costs; performance of existing and future
wells; reserve and resource volumes; anticipated timing and results
of capital expenditures; the success obtained in drilling new
wells; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying
out planned activities; the timing, location and extent of future
drilling operations; the state of the economy and the exploration
and production business; results of operations; performance;
business prospects and opportunities; the availability and cost of
financing, labour and services; the impact of increasing
competition; ability to market oil and natural gas successfully and
IFR's ability to access capital.
Statements relating to "reserves" are also
deemed to be forward looking statements, as they involve the
implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions,
that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or
estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the
future.
Although the Company believes that the
expectations and assumptions on which such forward‐looking
information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be
placed on the forward‐looking information because IFR can give no
assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward‐looking
information addresses future events and conditions, by its very
nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially
from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward‐looking
information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of
the events anticipated by the forward‐looking information will
transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that the
Company will derive there from. Management has included the above
summary of assumptions and risks related to forward‐looking
information provided in this press release in order to provide
security holders with a more complete perspective on IFR’s future
operations and such information may not be appropriate for other
purposes.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists
of factors are not exhaustive. Additional information on these and
other factors that could affect IFR's operations or financial
results are included in reports on file with applicable securities
regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR
website (www.sedar.com).
These forward‐looking statements are made as of
the date of this press release and IFR disclaims any intent or
obligation to update publicly any forward‐looking information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or results or
otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities
laws.
“Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its
Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility or
accuracy of this release”. The Company seeks Safe Harbor.
