FGC - Commences IP Program on ROUTE 109 Project

[Opportunity1967]

"The commencement of the 30km IP program on Route 109 will target areas of structural and geological merit highlighted from the Company’s recently completed high-resolution magnetic geophysical survey. Following compilation and interpretation by Laurentia Exploration, based in Quebec, there are several key areas that warrant an IP survey. Gold mineralization in the surrounding area is known to be associated with disseminated sulphides and with shear zones and has proven to be an effective exploration tool for neighbouring exploration companies. Our IP program will provide us with definitive drill targets for an upcoming diamond drilling campaign on the Property” said Frontline’s President and CEO Walter Henry.

Frontline Gold Corporation (TSX-V:FGC) (“Frontline” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the approval of a ground IP geophysical program over its Route 109 Project (“Project”) located in northcentral Quebec (Figure 1). This follows a recently completed high-resolution heli-borne magnetic survey and interpretation by Laurentia Exploration that identified targets of high merit recommended for follow-up IP. The IP program is expected to be completed before the end of June and consist of 30-line kilometers.

IP Geophysical Program
 
The IP program will cover 3 separate grids totaling 30km with line spacing of 200 meters and 25m station readings. The 3 grids will target the following areas of high merit:
 

• Grids A and B in the western portion of the Route 109 will target (Figure 2):
  • 1) Interpreted folded iron formation folded about a D2 axis
  • 2) Sheared fold limb where destruction of magnetic signature may suggest sulphidation of magnetite
  • 3) Possible zone of shearing along southern flank of an interpreted mafic intrusion
  • 4) Possible sheared margins of a mafic intrusion 1.5km along strike of the Desmazures gold showing

• Grid C in the eastern portion of the Route 109 will target (Figure 3):
  • 1) Possible sheared flank of a mafic intrusion coincident with a zone of thickening.

The structural signature is a key element in the IP targeting at the Route 109 Project. The project area is bounded by two deformation corridors both known to host gold mineralization. The Casa-Cameron deformation zone occurs to the south of the property. This structural corridor hosts the Douay gold deposit with indicated resources of 8.6Mt grading 1.52 gpt Au and inferred resources of 71.2 Mt grading 1.03 gpt Au (https://www.maplegoldmines.com) and the Vezza deposit with Measured and Indicated resources of 1.3Mt grading 6.5 gpt Au and Inferred resources of 435 Kt grading 4.9 gpt Au (https://www.opusoneresources.com).
 
Route 109 Project
 
Route 109 Property consists of 100 mining claims in the Province of Quebec covering 5,588 hectares. It is contiguous to the recently announced 50-50 joint venture between Maple Gold's Douay Project and Agnico Eagle's Joutel Project that has been a consolidated into a joint property package (Figure 1). The Property is located along the Casa Beradi belt which hosts the Douay Gold deposit and Eagle-Telbel Zn-Cu deposits (Maple Gold Mines/Agnico Eagle joint venture), the Vezza Gold deposit (Nottaway Resources) and the N2 Gold Project (Wallbridge Mining) (Figure 1).
 
The Route 109 Property has seen little historical drilling in a geological environment where significant intersections have been encountered in historical drilling. These include DH 92-CA-A-05 which intersected 0.608 g/t Au over 10.8m, DH 92-CA-A-15 which intersected 102.4 g/t Ag over 2.45m and DH 96-Ca-A-20 which intersected 1.13 g/t Au over 45m which includes 10.95 g/t Au over 4m. The above drill intersections occur along the northern boundary. The above information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Route 109 Property and may not be representative of expected results.
 
The QP has not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the properties comprising the Route 109 Property, particularly regarding historical exploration, neighbouring companies, and government geological work.
