Frontline Receives High Resolution Heli-Borne Magnetic Survey Results on its Route 109 Project, Quebec

(TheNewswire)

New high-resolution airborne MAG survey reveals prominent magnetic features throughout the Property

Toronto, Ontario - TheNewswire - January 7, 2021) – Frontline Gold Corporation (TSXV:FGC) (“Frontline” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the exploration status of its Route 109 Property (“Property”). The Property is contiguous to the Maple Gold Exploration and Agnico Eagles consolidated joint property package (see Figure 1 below) .

In November 2020 the Company announced that it had jointly retained Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. of Gatineau, Quebec, to complete a high resolution heli-borne magnetic survey of the Frontline’s Route 109 Project (“Property”) and the north eastern portion of Maple Gold Exploration’s Douay Project ( see the Company’s press release dated November 12, 2020 ). A total of 1,234 line-km at 50-metre flight line spacings was flown for Frontline’s Route 109 Property . The final report detailing the results of the MAG survey has been received and the data reveals prominent magnetic features throughout the Property vastly enhancing its geological and structural make-up. The figures below highlight the significant difference in structural and magnetic detail between the historical regional MAG data (Figure 1) and the new MAG data (Figure 2).

Frontline’s primary interest to date on the Property has been the exploration potential of the Property given the limited historical drilling in a geological environment where significant high-grade and silver intersections have been encountered in the historical drilling which have occurred along the northern boundary. The high-resolution MAG survey results now accentuates the potential for the Property to host various styles of possible gold mineralization including:

1. 1) A fold nose on the northeast corner of the property along an apparent structural trend.

2. 2) High-magnetic intensity bodies possibly representing mafic to ultramafic intrusive rocks and possible iron formation. These could be sources of iron for sulphidation of magnetic minerals.

3. 3) Various magnetic intensities possibly reflecting rheology contrasts focusing alteration, deformation and mineralization.

Both the nearby Vezza and Douay gold deposits are associated with high magnetic signatures (Figure 1).

To prepare for the 2021 field season, Frontline has hired Laurentia Exploration to do a compilation and reinterpretation of all available historical data on the Property (see press release October 29, 2020). This mandate has been incorporating the new MAG survey data with all known lithological and mineralogical information and known structural features to build a comprehensive geological framework that will vector fieldwork towards those areas of highest merit for exploration.

“The quality of the high-resolution magnetic survey compared to what was previously available on the Property provides an exciting base of understanding in an area of very low outcrop exposure. Geophysics has been historically an important tool along the Casa Beradi belt for discovery and we look forward to receiving the data compilation and the recommendations from Laurentia Exploration that will direct our fieldwork and drilling program in 2021,” said Walter Henry President and CEO of Frontline.”

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. 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 3).

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.
