(TheNewswire)

Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - February 9, 2021 – Frontline Gold Corporation (TSXV:FGC) (“Frontline” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in 5 mining cells within it’s Crooked Pine Lake property boundary. This brings the total area to approximately 3,958 hectares. The Crooked Pine Lake Property (the “Property”) is located 35km east of Atikokan, Ontario.

The 5 key mining cells contain the Pothole Showing where in 1963 Noranda Exploration reported a channel sample of 9.33 g/t Au over 2.74m (MDI52B14SE00020). Grab sampling by Band-Ore Resources in 2003 returned quartz vein material with chalcopyrite, pyrite and arsenopyrite of 11.52 g/t Au, 6.23 g/t Au and 6.37 g/t Au (AFRI 52B14SE2012). Only six diamond drill holes in 1983 totaling 308m have been drilled on the Pothole Showing. Highlights include 1.22 g/t Au over 1.22m (AFRI 52B14SE2012). The Pothole claims cover a portion of the Pothole Lake Deformation Zone, and east-west bearing corridor containing chlorite, sericite and iron carbonate alteration. Associated quartz veining 1-3m wide and en-echleon quartz veins are variably mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite +/- gold (AFRI 52B14SE2012).

The Pothole Showing claims compliment the Property which hosts the X656 Shear Zone, a northeast trending shear within the Marmion Batholith that splays off the Quetico Fault (Figure 1). Sampling by geological crews in the summer of 2020 returned grab samples of 19.2 g/t Au and 6.26 g/t Au (see press release dated August 18, 2020). The northeast trending X656 Shear is a common trending structural feature in the Marmion Batholith similar to that of the 4.5 million ounce Hammond Reef Deposit owned by Agnico Eagle (www.agnicoeagle.com).

Frontline acquired a 100% interest in the 5 mining cells from a vendor for the total sum of $4,000 and granting the vendor a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty. Frontline may repurchase one point zero percent (1.0%) of the royalty for $500,000.

Commentary

Frontline’s President and CEO, Mr. Walter Henry, said, “This was a low acquisition cost that adds merit and value to the Crooked Pine Lake property. The property has seen little systematic exploration in an increasingly active exploration area. We look forward to adding this target to our spring exploration plans”.
