Toronto, Feb. 11, 2021 -
Frontline Gold Corp. (TSXV:FGC) ("Frontline" or the "Company") announces additional results from sampling programs during the fall of 2020 on its Crooked Pine Lake Property (the "Property") located 35 km east of Atikokan, Ontario.
From November 7th to 10th, 2020 Emerald Geological Services ("EGS") investigated historical trenches along the east-trending intermediate volcanic belt on the southern portion of the property. Sampling at Trench 1 (Andrews Showing) returned a grab sample of 7.03 g/t Au and 1.29 g/t Ag within a quartz vein containing 5-10% arsenopyrite hosted within sheared intermediate volcanics. Trench 1 conditions were very deteriorated at the time making sampling difficult. Sampling at Trench 2 approximately 850m southwest of Trench 1 returned a grab sample of 0.455 g/t Au and 1.74 g/t Ag from sheared intermediate volcanics with quartz stringers and only 0.5% fine disseminated pyrite. Sampling adjacent to a logging road 200m to the northeast of Trench 2 recorded a grab sample returning 1.49 g/t Au in a shear zone highlighted by silicified intermediate volcanic schist hosting quartz veins with minor pyrite and chalcopyrite. Trace element geochemistry included up to 4.05g/t Ag, 4430 ppm As, 4.95 ppm Sb, 0.23 ppm Te, 3850 ppm Cu and 40.5ppm Bi. A total of 44 grab samples were taken during the 3-day sampling program (see Figure 1). Shearing at the three locations were noted to be intense with strong iron carbonate and sericite alteration with subordinate quartz veins and stringers with sulphide mineralization. Grab samples are selected samples and not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

"The Crooked Pine Lake Property is underexplored and with some simple boots on the ground last year, has yielded some impressive gold results. We now have two major deformation zones to further investigate, the northeast-trending X656 Shear and the east-west Pothole Lake Deformation Zone. Both of these deformation zones are gold-bearing and we look forward to continuing our efforts on the property during 2021." said Frontline's President and CEO Walter Henry.
