Fronteer Gold (FRG - TSX/NYSE-Amex) announces that ongoing drilling to the northeast of the current resource area continues to intersect wide intervals of high-grade gold at its wholly owned Long Canyon gold project in Nevada.  Fronteer Gold recently completed the acquisition of AuEx Ventures, thereby consolidating 100% ownership of its flagship Long Canyon project and creating a dominant position in the emerging Pequop Gold District.

"The Long Canyon deposit is the type of foundational asset upon which major mining companies have historically been built.  Long Canyon is viewed a 'company-maker' for Fronteer Gold, with its combination of high grades, simple metallurgy, resource upside and favourable jurisdiction.  We are well funded to advance Long Canyon on a 100% basis as we push forward on our development timeline," says Fronteer Gold President and CEO Mark O'Dea.

Six drill rigs are currently operating as part of the year's ongoing 70,000-metre program. New results include:

• 10.46 g/t gold over 39.3 metres, including 16.72 g/t gold over 15.2 metres in LC556C;
• 6.35 g/t gold over 38.1 metres, including 10.59 g/t gold over 16.9 metres in LC548C;
• 5.15 g/t gold over 42.7 metres in LC541C;
• 5.29 g/t gold over 33.2 metres, including 20.23 g/t gold over 5.2 metres in LC557C;
• 3.14 g/t gold over 46.3 metres, including 13.30 g/t gold over 9.8 metres in LC564C;
• 6.38 g/t gold over 17.1 metres in LC561C;
• 5.28 g/t gold over 13.0 metres, including 18.34 g/t gold over 2.7 metres in LC547C;
• 8.42 g/t gold over 6.1 metres, including 34.3 g/t gold over 1.2 metres in LC555C.

Primary drill composites were calculated using a cut-off of 0.30 g/t, with variably higher cut-offs for the sub-intervals. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals are interpreted to be between 30-100% of the reported lengths. Intervals less than 1 g/t are not reported in this press-release table. "C" indicates a core hole. For a PDF of comprehensive drill results, including new and non-reportable intercepts, please click:

This new drilling, concentrated to the northeast of the current resource area, further defines a thick, high-grade zone with broad lateral continuity along a recently recognized east-northeast trend. For a cross-section showing the geometry described above, please click:

THE NEAR-TERM PROGRAM

Fronteer Gold is efficiently advancing the project toward production. A $20-$25 million development/exploration program is planned for 2011, including near-term goals of: 

•  an updated resource and Preliminary Economic Assessment in early 2011;
  
• 75,000 metres of exploration and development drilling;
  
• initiating permitting;
  
•  an additional resource update near year-end 2011; and,
  
•  commencing feasibility stage.

BOARD APPOINTMENT

Fronteer Gold welcomes Ronald L. Parratt to our Board of Directors. Mr. Parratt was formerly President and CEO of AuEx Ventures and currently President and CEO of Renaissance Gold. Mr. Parratt brings a wealth of exploration and development experience in Nevada to the board. 

ABOUT FRONTEER GOLD                                         

We intend to become a significant gold producer. Our financial strength and solid operational team give us the ability to advance our key gold projects to production. Our future potential production platform includes our Long Canyon, Sandman and Northumberland projects - all located in Nevada, one of the friendliest gold-mining jurisdictions in the world.

Moira Smith, P. Geo., Nevada Chief Geologist for Fronteer Gold, is the company's designated Qualified Person for this news release and has reviewed and validated that the information contained in the release accurate.  Drill composites were calculated using a cut-off of 0.30 g/t. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals are interpreted to be between 30-100% of the reported lengths. Reverse circulation cuttings were sampled on 5.0 feet (1.52 metre) intervals and core was sampled at geologically selected intervals. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Chemex (ISO9001:2000) in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were utilized in calculating gold intersections. QA/QC included the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch. Selected holes are also analyzed for a 72-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS.
