Bowmore Appraisal Well Drilling in UK North Sea



International Frontier Resources Corporation ("IFR"- TSX-V) announces that operator Nippon Oil Exploration and Production U.K. Limited commenced drilling operations on the 15/24a-J Bowmore - Alpha appraisal well located in the UK Central North Sea with the Ocean Guardian semi-submersible rig on 21 June 2009. IFR's wholly owned U.K. subsidiary, Britcana Energy Ltd. holds a ten per cent interest in License P1465 covering blocks 15/24a, 15/23c, 15/28a and 15/29e. Britcana is currently negotiating a joint venture financing agreement with a large U.K. based company that if concluded will result in Britcana holding a five per cent interest in License P 1465.

The 15/24a-J well is located between the 15/24a-4 discovery well and the recently appraised Bugle accumulation to the west on contiguous block 15/23d. The well is targeting Upper Jurassic sandstones which flowed hydrocarbons at the 15/24a 4 discovery well and at the Bugle accumulation. The original 15/24a 4 discovery well, drilled in 1990, flowed 11 million standard cubic feet of gas per day and 3,024 barrels of condensate per day. Operations to total depth, including coring and logging, are estimated to take approximately 45 to 60 days.
