International Frontier Resources Corporation and Kinjal Corporation Announce Reverse Takeover, C$37 Million Brokered Financing and US$30 Million Debt Facility, Significant Gas Asset Acquisitions, Strategic Gas Infrastructure Partner, Emerging as an Important Key Independent, Publicly Listed Mexican

US$30 Million Debt Facility with Well-Recognized International Lender

Kinjal has entered into a non-binding term sheet with a well-recognized lender for a US$30 million debt facility to fund the acquisition of the Misión Field. The debt facility is subject to the execution of a definitive credit agreement to be entered into between Kinjal and the lender, which will contain the detailed terms of the debt facility. The lender's interest is aligned with Kinjal by its proposed equity investment in the RTO financing, supporting long-term value creation in Kinjal.

Pro Forma Production

The following table presents selected pro forma production estimates (the "Pro Forma Production Estimates"), valuation metrics and reserves in respect of the assets that are the subject of the Proposed Mexican Asset Transactions, assuming completion of both the RTO Transaction and the Proposed Mexican Asset Transactions. The Pro Forma Production Estimates included in this news release are modelled forward-looking estimates based on internal engineering and economic analysis and are not reserves or resource data. The valuation metrics shown below illustrate the implied value of IFR and Kinjal relative to current and forecast production.

RTO Transaction Metrics - Pre-Money Basis

Notes:

1. The Pro Forma Production Estimates presented above are forward-looking information and represent modelled estimates based on internal engineering and economic analysis, including assumptions regarding capital expenditures, drilling and development plans, well performance, decline rates, facility construction, commodity prices, exchange rates, timing of completion of the Proposed Mexican Asset Transactions and other factors. These figures are not reserves or resources as defined under National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101").

2. The "per boe" metrics and the Pre-Money Valuation (Kinjal and IFR) presented in this news release are non-standard oil and gas metrics and do not have standardized meanings under applicable securities laws. Such metrics are derived from internal estimates and are provided for contextual and comparative purposes only. Readers are cautioned that such metrics should not be used to make comparisons with other issuers.

3. The "per boe" metrics are calculated by dividing the implied combined pre-financing equity value by the applicable production metric, as applicable.

4. The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Per boe amounts have been calculated by using the conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (6 Mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (1 bbl) of crude oil. The boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf to 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

5. The reserves information presented above relates to natural gas reserves only for the Misión Field. Volumes are presented on a barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") basis using a conversion ratio of 6 Mcf of natural gas to 1 bbl of oil equivalent. The reserves presented are gross reserves. The reserves were evaluated by Ryder Scott, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, with an effective date of December 31, 2025, in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 Standards for Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained and variances could be material.

6. Possible reserves contained in 3P reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Actual results may differ materially from the estimates and projections set out above, and no assurance can be given that the forecast Pro Forma Production Estimates or valuation metrics will be achieved.

Investment Highlights

Kinjal's near-term strategy is focused on advancing development at the Misión Field, the Kinkan discovery in the CS.06 block and further exploration on both the CS.06 Block and A10.CS Blocks, three cornerstone projects located in distinct producing basins in Mexico. Together, these assets have the potential to provide significant production and provide stable cash flows for the Resulting Issuer (as defined below). Misión provides a stable, long-life production platform in the Burgos Basin, while Kinkan (the CS.06 and A10.CS Blocks) represents a high-impact growth project in southern Mexico with access to premium-priced domestic gas markets. Beyond these core developments, Kinjal's broader portfolio offers additional development and exploration upside that management believes can be advanced within internally generated cash flow, supporting disciplined growth and long-term value creation.

Misión Field - Cash-Flowing Core Assets with Low-Risk Development Upside

• Largest privately operated natural gas field on land in Mexico, currently producing approximately 65 MMcf/d gross with condensate volumes.
• Mature, long-life, non-associated gas asset with decades of production history and established regional infrastructure.
• Clear near-term development upside, with potential to restore production toward ~120 MMcf/d gross through drilling and field optimization.
• Strategic value enhanced by the ability to sell gas into the private market directly.
• Kinjal intends to acquire Tecpetrol and IPDC's operated 49% working interest, positioning Misión as the portfolio's core cash-flow generator.
• Gross 1P gas reserves of 119.0 Bcf and 0.5 MMbbls of associated condensate (net 58.3 Bcf and 0.2 MMbbls).
• Gross 2P gas reserves of 234.4 Bcf and 0.8 MMbbls of associated condensate (net 114.9 Bcf and 0.4 MMbbls).
• Gross 3P gas reserves of 355.1 Bcf and 1.0 MMbbls of associated condensate (net 174.0 Bcf and 0.5 MMbbls).

A10CS / CS06 Farm-In - High-Impact Kinkan Southern Gas Development

• Farm-in across two Tabasco blocks with staged earn-in up to an 80% working interest.
• Kinkan discovery tested at over 5 MMcf/d from a single zone.
• Development plan includes 19 wells, a 40 MMcf/d gas processing facility, and 7 km pipeline tie-in to the Mayakan system.
• Peak production expected at approximately 40 MMcf/d gross, or ~32 MMcf/d net at 80% working interest.
• Exposure to premium southern Mexico gas pricing.

Tonalli - Foundational Assets with Strategic and Operational Optionality

• Smaller-scale producing assets that provide operational platform value and regional positioning.
• Tonalli offers low-cost reactivation potential in the Tampico-Misantla Basin.
• Serve as strategic complements rather than primary valuation drivers and provide 8+ year operating history in Mexico

Strategic Partnership with Leading Infrastructure and Transportation Strategic Partner

In connection with the RTO Transaction, it is anticipated that a strategic partner, a leading gas infrastructure and transportation company ("Strategic Partner"), will hold 10% of the shares of Kinjal after closing of the RTO Transaction and the Concurrent Financing.

Misión Field

Kinjal has entered into a binding letter of intent with Tecpetrol with exclusivity on the acquisition of the Misión Field and is advancing towards a definitive agreement with detailed terms and conditions. Completion of the acquisition of the Misión Field is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.

The Misión Field is expected to be Kinjal's flagship asset and represents a significant gas producing field in Mexico. The field is located in the Burgos Basin in northern Mexico, a prolific and well-established gas-producing region with extensive legacy infrastructure. Misión is a mature, non-associated natural gas field that has been in continuous production since 1938, highlighting its scale, reservoir continuity, and long reserve life.

The field is integrated into the broader Burgos Basin gas system, which includes extensive gathering pipelines and downstream processing and transportation infrastructure. With its existing production and near-term development potential. Misión is expected to serve as Kinjal's cash-flow backbone, funding growth across the broader portfolio while offering low-risk, development-led upside. Its scale and longevity clearly differentiate it from earlier-stage exploration assets and underpin Kinjal's goal to build a leading private natural gas company in Mexico.

Current production at the Misión Field is approximately 60 MMcf/d gross, plus roughly 200 bbl/d of condensate, equating to approximately 29 MMcf/d and 98 bbl/d net to Kinjal. Historical peak production reached 140 MMcf/d gross, demonstrating the field's ability to sustain materially higher throughput under an active development program. Management believes production can increase to approximately 120 MMcf/d gross (~59 MMcf/d net) by early 2028, through a focused infill drilling program, recompletions, and modern field optimization techniques. The field has installed capacity to handle up to 140 MMcf/d of produced gas. The upside profile is development-driven rather than exploratory in nature, supporting a lower-risk growth outlook.

CS06 / A10CS Farm-in Blocks - Kinkan Discovery

Pursuant to the proposed farm-in with Jaguar 2.3 and Pantera 2.2, Kinjal intends to earn up to an 80% working interest through a staged capital carry structure. Kinjal will pay 90% of the costs of the first four wells to earn an initial 40% interest. It will then pay 90% of wells five through eight to earn an additional 40%, bringing total (Total Aktie) ownership to 80%. Beyond the first eight wells, capital obligations revert to Kinjal's pro rata 80% working interest. This front-loaded carry increases early capital exposure but accelerates ownership capture of what management believes to be a large-scale development opportunity.

The Kinkan discovery, located within the CS06 block in the Macuspana Basin of Tabasco, is the anchor asset within the farm-in. The discovery well tested at 5.1 MMcf/d from a gas-bearing zone located at approximately 1,700 metres depth. The well encountered four gas-bearing objectives in total; however, only one zone was tested due to mechanical issues encountered while drilling. Importantly, deeper horizons were not fully evaluated, leaving additional upside potential beyond the tested interval. The discovery is located in a prolific gas-producing region with nearby producing fields and established infrastructure, reducing geological risk relative to frontier exploration.

The proposed development plan will include drilling 19 wells across the structure, construction of a 40 MMcf/d gas processing facility, and approximately 7 km of pipeline to interconnect with the Mayakan pipeline system. Access to the Mayakan system provides direct exposure to southern Mexican gas markets, where limited supply supports structurally stronger realized pricing compared to northern border markets.

Peak production is expected to reach approximately 40 MMcf/d gross, equivalent to roughly 32 MMcf/d net to Kinjal at the full 80% working interest. Production is expected to ramp progressively as wells are drilled and tied into new infrastructure.

Tonalli - Low-Cost Reactivation Opportunity

Tonalli represents Kinjal's foundational northern Mexico assets. While smaller in scale relative to Misión and the Kinkan development, it provides immediate operational presence, technical capability, and incremental production that support Kinjal's broader consolidation strategy in Mexico's private gas market.

Tonalli's assets should be viewed as platform-enabling properties that provide infrastructure access, operator credentials, and embedded upside rather than near-term transformational growth. Tonalli is located in the Tampico-Misantla Basin in Veracruz and represents a small-scale oil asset with reactivation potential. The block is relatively small in surface area but benefits from an established operating history.

A description of additional risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking information can be found in IFR's disclosure documents on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca. Although IFR has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions, or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Forward-looking information contained in this news release is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking information contained in this news release represents the expectations of IFR as of the date of this news release and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date. However, IFR expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable securities law.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Financial Outlooks

The Pro Forma Production Estimates and certain metrics presented in this news release may constitute financial outlooks within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such information has been prepared to provide readers with an understanding of the potential production profile and associated metrics of the assets comprising the Proposed Mexican Asset Transactions and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Such financial outlooks have been approved by management of IFR as of the date hereof. This information is based on a number of material assumptions, including assumptions regarding the timing of completion of the RTO Transaction and the Proposed Mexican Asset Transactions, capital expenditures, development schedules, drilling results, facility completion, well performance, decline rates, commodity prices, exchange rates and regulatory approvals. The Pro Forma Production Estimates, particularly the longer-dated estimates, are inherently uncertain and subject to significant business, economic, operational and competitive risks and contingencies. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such information, and there can be no assurance that such estimates will be achieved.

Oil & Gas Advisories

All reserve references in this press release are to gross reserves. Gross reserves are the total working interest reserves before the deduction of any royalties and including any royalty interests. The recovery and reserve estimates of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves provided in this news release are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided in this news release. The reserves data set forth in this news release in respect of the Misión Field was evaluated by Ryder Scott, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, with an effective date of December 31, 2026, in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 Standards for Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained and variances could be material.

"reserves" are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on (a) analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data; (b) the use of established technology; and (c) specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable and shall be disclosed. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates being "proved reserves", "probable reserves" and "possible reserves".

In this press release "1P" means "proved reserves", those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be ‎recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

In this press release "2P" means "proved plus probable reserves", probable reserves being additional reserves that are less ‎certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater ‎or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

In this press release "3P" means "proved plus probable plus possible reserves", possible reserves being those additional ‎reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

The estimates of reserves for individual ‎properties may not reflect the same confidence level as ‎estimates of reserves for all properties, ‎due to the effects of aggregation.

The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Per boe amounts have been calculated by using the conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (6 Mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (1 bbl) of crude oil. The boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf to 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

This news release refers to drilling locations that have not been assigned reserves under NI 51-101, including 19 potential drilling locations in the Kinkan development plan. The drilling locations on which Kinjal may actually drill wells depend on the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, commodity prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. There is no certainty that any portion of the unbooked drilling locations will be drilled. If drilled, there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations have been identified by management as an estimate of future multi-year drilling opportunities based on evaluation of applicable geoscience and engineering data.

Any references to initial production rates in this news release, including the Kinkan discovery test rate of 5.1 MMcf/d, are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons; however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue to produce and decline thereafter and should not be relied upon for an indication of future production. Such rates may also include recovered "load" fluids from well stimulation operations and may not be representative of longer-term production.
