Frontline Advises of Third Party Accident on its Mali Exploration Permit - Niaouleni Gold Project18.09.2014 | 19:24 Uhr | Newsfile
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 18, 2014) - Frontline Gold Corporation (TSXV: FGC) ("Frontline" or the "Company") has learned from media reports of an accident at an artisanal gold mine within its Niaouleni permit in Western Mali. Frontline understands that the accident involved a collapse of artisanal workings and a loss of life of 16 artisanal miners. The location of the accident is understood to be approximately 500m south of the Niaouleni permit's northern property boundary as highlighted within the shaded circled area in the attached map. Frontline's interest is an exploration permit only at this stage. The Niaouleni permit covers an area of approximately 94 sq. kms. Frontline does not have control or direction over persons living on or entering the permit lands and was unaware of the movement of artisanal miners onto its permit. Frontline regrets the loss of life and continues to support and cooperate with the ban on the dangerous practice of artisanal mining imposed by authorities in Mali, which prohibits any gold mining activity during the winter months in Mali from May to October of each year. Frontline hopes that the results of further exploration will justify construction of a safe mine with meaningful employment prospects for the local community. Frontline's Niaouleni Gold Project Lies in the heart of West Mali in Africa's prolific gold belt, and is easily accessible by paved highway approximately 150km southwest of the capital city, Bamako. The Niaouleni area is one of the oldest artisanal workings in Mali, dating back to the fourteenth century. Frontline's exploration permit is situated on a 12km long gold anomaly & structure. Over the past 20 years, Niaouleni has had extensive historical exploration programs, which consisted of mapping, pitting, trenching, geophysical surveys & approximately 5,000m of limited drilling. Soil sampling has revealed a number of significant gold anomalies close to artisanal workings, and in areas with limited or no workings. Exploration to date completed by the Company has included the following:
