CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - June 16, 2005) -
This news release is not intended for distribution to US news wire services or for dissemination in the United States and does not constitute an offer of the securities described herein.
International Frontier Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:IFR) ("the Company") reported today that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Sidox Chemicals Canada Ltd.("SCC") has acquired an Exclusive Canadian License for the chemical compound Sidox. Sidox is a patented oil production enhancement technology that SCC is working on for commercial use in Canada. Concurrent with acquiring the License, Enhanced Recovery System Ltd., the owners of an international patent for the Sidox technology, elected to acquire a 50% shareholding SCC. The Company (100%) is currently conducting phase two of a pilot project on the Alderson Lower Manville M2M pool located in the Brooks area of southern Alberta.
The Company also reported today it has elected to participate in a 2D seismic program covering up to 250 kilometers located on EL-397 in the Central Mackenzie Valley, NWT. The seismic survey has been designed to identify additional drilling locations on the south half of EL-397 immediately south of the Summit Creek B-44 discovery well that was
production tested at rates of approximately 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in Q-1, 2005. The seismic program is scheduled to commence in July and be completed in September 2005.
The Company seeks safe harbor.







In June 2004, SCC, a Company owned 50/50 by ERS and International Frontier Resources, initiated a Sidox Technology pilot project in the IFR operated Alderson oil pool in Alberta. Phase 1 results of the pilot project confirmed that Sidox Technology did enhance oil rates and reduce water cuts in the Alderson pool. The five producing wells in the field were treated with Sidox Technology and this improved production of oil significantly over the initial rate of 43 bopd. Phase 1 was a technical success, in which improved oil production rates averaged 108% on individual wells, but the effective treatment time was somewhat less than the average of 150 days experienced in the Russian tests.This may be due to the reservoir characteristics of the Alderson pool.











he deposits exhibit a decline in output and an increase in water content of the product obtained. One of the reasons that accounts for this is the formation of water blockages in the bottom hole zone of oil wells, thus hampering the fluid filtration. Water might come into the pay zone by way of water based drilling fluid; in the process of well shutting-in; it might encroach from the stratum worked at operational stage and some of it invades the bottom hole zone being pressed through injection well intended to keep up layer pressure. Some of the water is kept back in the bottom hole zone by surface and capillary forces thus facilitating formation of water blockages that plug layer pores and bring down oil yields (see Fig. 1).
