Fronteer JV update: Drilling begins at Agi Dagi gold project

08-27

Fronteer Development Group Inc. ("Fronteer" or the "Company") (FRG - TSX/AMEX) is pleased to announce that Teck's Turkish subsidiary ("TCAM") has begun drilling at the companies' Agi Dagi gold project, part of a newly developing gold and copper-gold mineral district in northwestern Turkey's Biga region. 

TCAM and Fronteer have 60%-40% joint ventures on a number of projects in this region, including two gold deposits (Agi Dagi and Kirazli) and a recently discovered copper-gold porphyry system (Halilaga). The companies have first-mover status in the region, having collectively consolidated a prominent land position over several years. The region is geopolitically stable and supported by excellent project infrastructure, including road accessibility and access to power and water. 

All three systems are robust and open for expansion.

AGI DAGI

Agi Dagi consists of two separate resource areas, referred to as the Deli and Baba Zones, which occur at either end of a five-kilometre-long northeast trending ridge. TCAM has commenced an eight hole, 3,200-metre drill program at Agi Dagi to test for possible peripheral porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization at depth and additional high-sulphidation gold mineralization on the property. 

The Deli and Baba Zones currently have a combined NI 43-101 gold-equivalent resource estimate of 1.33 million ounces gold equivalent (measured and indicated), along with 756,000 ounces inferred. A total of 373 drill holes, approximately 55,866 metres of drilling, have been completed at Agi Dagi.

HALILAGA

While still at a relatively early stage with 12 drill holes defining an area called the Central Zone (also known as the "Kestane Zone"), Halilaga has many of the hallmarks of a world-class, copper-gold deposit in terms of its size potential and current grade. 

Halilaga is the first discovery of a porphyry copper-gold system in the Biga region, which has important implications for the overall prospectivity of this new mineral belt.  It is widely recognized that high sulfidation and porphyry deposits are genetically and spatially linked, often occurring in clusters.  As a result, the Company believes there is potential for additional discoveries in this region. 

Year-to-date, 13 widely spaced drill holes have been completed on several large regional targets with similar geophysical and geochemical signatures as the Central Zone. Assay results are pending.  An additional 1,200 metres of drilling on these targets is planned for the balance of 2008. 

KIRAZLI

Located approximately 25 kilometres by paved road northwest of Agi Dagi, Kirazli consists of a single coherent resource area characterized by excellent near-surface gold and silver grades and significant high-grade expansion potential.  The planned 2008 drill program has been postponed due to permitting delays.

Kirazli has a NI 43-101 gold-equivalent resource estimate of 386,000 ounces (measured and indicated), along with 1.0 million ounces inferred. A total of 188 drill holes, for approximately 30,000 metres of drilling, have been completed at Kirazli.

Christopher Lee, P. Geo, Chief Geoscientist for Fronteer Development Group, is the designated Qualified Person for the Agi Dagi and Kirazli Projects in NW Turkey and also the Qualified Person for Agi Dagi and Kirazli resource estimates. The resource models consist of a combination of oxide/sulphide zones, and isograde shells generated in Leapfrog software.  Two metre composites were generated from capped gold and silver grades within these solids, and core samples with less than 50% recovery were omitted. Grades were interpolated into blocks measuring 20x20 metres in the horizontal direction and 10 metres in the vertical direction, using inverse distance squared, ordinary kriging, or a combination of both methods, in Gemcom software. Search radii were determined from variogram ranges, with restricted ranges for high grade populations, and hard boundaries were used to limit sample selection between the oxide and sulphide zones at Deli and Kirazli.  Densities were interpolated from drill core data into the block models using inverse distance squared.  Blocks were classified into Measured, Indicated and Inferred mineral resource categories using a combination of the number drill holes and the average distance of samples used in each block estimate.  (moved) Mineral resources are not mineral reserves, and there is no guarantee that any resource will become a reserve.
