Frontline Acquires Fully Permitted Keban and Kambertepe Tailing Projects

Toronto, Ontario - (April 7, 2016)
- Frontline Gold Corporation (TSX-V:FGC) ('Frontline' or the 'Corporation') is pleased to announce that on March 29th, 2016, through its Tender Process Agent, AHSA Muh. Mut. ins Mad San Tic Ltd Sti ('AHSA'), the Corporation was awarded and purchased both the fully permitted Keban and Kambertepe Tailings Projects for the processing of the tailings, which are both located in the Elazig Province of Turkey in the Central East Anatolia region.

The acquisition includes the following:

  1. The Keban Tailings Project, approximately 45 km northwest from the city of Elazig, via paved highway, which is fully permitted, which includes the exclusive rights to process a minimum 114,000 tonnes of mineralized milled tailings stored in two areas within the property boundary (see attachment 'Keban Tailings'). The regional government of Elazig retains the responsibility for remediation of this site.

    An independent comprehensive report, including a metallurgical assessment of the mineralized tailings, was completed by Dr. Sasmaz, Phd, Geologist, Firat University, dated June 2015. Per the report, 40 assay samples were collected at Keban and assays completed, for 34 element ICP - MS analysis, by Bureau Vertias Mineral Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada on behalf of the Firat University in Elazig. According to the Bureau Vertias assayed analysis, the Firat University report of June 2015 noted that all the assays averaged Au 1.78 g/t, Ag 96 g/t, Pb 2.94%/t and Zn 0.63%/t.

    A location map of the Keban tailings areas, location of the assays taken and the assays results are attached.

  1. The Kambertepe Tailings Project, approximately 100 km east from the city of Elazig, via paved highway, includes the exclusive rights to process approximately up to 6,000 tonnes of mineralized tailings, with the following average reported grades per tonne of tailings: 2.1% Copper, 21 g/t Silver, 1.9% Zinc, 0.5% Titanium and over 50% Iron, as noted from a Firat University report on the project dated March 15th, 2016.

    Kambertepe Tailings excavation and transport to begin in the next 15 days and scheduled completion is expected approximately 2-week following the start of operations.

Commentary

Mr. Walter Henry, President and CEO of Frontline commented, 'This is a marquee transaction for Frontline. We feel very fortunate to have secured these two opportunities. With both projects being fully permitted for exploitation and all the assay work done by both Acme, Bureau Vertias AGAT labs in Canada, Frontline is an excellent position to transition to a revenue generating entity within the next 60 days. Additionally, because of the transportation agreement that we signed (details provided below) and the way we are able to structure the payment terms of the tailing projects and the processing agreements, we have created an opportunity to generate revenue in the very near term in light of the challenging environment for raising exploration funds.'

'The revenue from the tailings projects will enable us to 1) organically advance our other projects in Turkey, Mali and Red Lake, 2) allow Frontline to capitalize on other strategic acquisitions, and 4) seek opportunities and regulatory approvals to restructure Frontline's capital structure.'

Acquisition Terms

The terms of the tender agreements require Frontline to pay the following for each tailing project:

  1. Keban - the payment of 2,550,000 Turkish Lira, approximately C$1,200,000, payable over 12-months starting 30 days following start of operations. Frontline will have 24 months to complete the exploitation of the Keban tailings.
  2. Kambertepe - the payment of 80,000 Turkish Lira, approximately C$37,000, payable over the next 90 days.
Historical Mining conducted at Keban Tailings Project

The Keban tailings Project is the site of an old lead/zinc/silver mine where between 1940-1983 nearly 800,000 tonnes of ore was mined and Pb/Zn/Ag recovered by floatation with tailings of possibly 200,000-300,000 tonnes being dumped onto the banks of the Firat (Euphrates) River. Frontline's sole focus will be the processing of only the land based tailings.

About The Keban Property

The Keban Property is approximately 45 km northwest from centre of the Elazig city via paved highway. The Keban tailings have been stored in 2 different locations (KA and KY) (see attachment) within the Keban property boundary. The total area of tailings is approximately 5,660 square metres. According to drilling of the tailings area completed as per the independent Firat University report on the Keban tailings, the average depth of the KY area calculated from 8 drill holes is 6.5 metres and the average depth of the KA area calculated from 3 drill holes is 1.6 metres.

Keban Tailings Assays

The following is a summary of the assayed results for gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc. Note that out of the 40 assayed samples, 12 assays show Au g/t over 2.5 g/t, with the highest Au g/t assay over 3.7 g/t. In addition to the significant gold assays, there were significant silver and lead assays noted. See attachment - Keban Tailiings to get the coordinates of each assay taken.

Keban Tailing Processing

Frontline is in final negotiations with a processing company which is proposing toll processing at its existing plant approximately 80km away with tank leaching in cyanide so only Au and Ag would be recovered and Pb to report to waste (it is possible this could be recovered by floatation/gravity in another circuit). The processing cost is US$10 per tonne.

Keban Tailing Production Timeline

The tailings production schedule is approximately 18 months with average daily tailings excavation ranging from 250 to 400 tonnes per day. The excavating and transportation costs per tonne is US$17.75 per tonne.

Frontline has entered into an excavating and transportation agreement with AHSA who was the Corporation's Tender Agent during the tender process as noted above.

Frontline has not completed the work required to verify the historical mining estimates noted above and is not treating these historical estimates as being compliant with current standards under NI 43-101 and as such these historical estimates should not be relied upon. Caution should be used when evaluating these resources as they were calculated prior to NI 43-101 existing and a qualified person has not done work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.

Frontline is actively searching for investor/partner(s) in order to expedite the full tailings recovery at both the Keban and Kambertepe tailings projects. To contact Frontline, please call Walter Henry at 416-414-5825 or visit the company's website.

The technical information herein was reviewed by Mr. Greg Isenor, P. Geo., who acts as Frontline's Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
