Toronto, Ontario -- (August 6, 2015) -- Frontline Gold Corporation (TSX-V:FGC) ("Frontline" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has, subject to regulatory approval, acquired a 100% interest in the Whitehorse Island property ("Whitehorse") which hosts the Whitehorse Island gold shaft. The property comprised of two contiguous claims, totalling 35.55 hectares, is strategically situated between Goldcorp/Premier Gold's Rahill-Bonanza Gold Property to the North-east and Premier Gold's Hasaga Gold property to the south west (see attached map). The Whitehorse Island mining patents were previously owned by Grandview Gold Inc.

Frontline's Purchase

Acquired a 100% interest in the two mining patents. There is a pre-existing .375% net smelter returns royalty that Frontline will assume.

Commentary

Frontline's President and CEO, Mr. Walter Henry, said, "The Whitehorse Island mine patents are an excellent addition given the strategic position of the patents between Goldcorp/Premier's Rahill-Bonanza joint venture project which is adjacent to Goldcorp's Red Lake Gold Mine and Premier's Hasaga property. The low acquisition cost of the land package combined with no annual property expenditure requirements allows Frontline to continue to grow its portfolio of strategic land packages in the Red Lake Gold District. The Whitehorse Island patents are a key addition given 1) the proximity to Goldcorp's Red Lake Gold Mine, 2) the strategic location of the patents between the Rahill-Bonanza and Hasaga gold properties and 3) given that the patent group is host to the Whitehorse Island gold shaft (see attached map)."

Historical Exploration conducted on the Whitehorse Island Property

The Whitehorse Island Property is located southwest of and contiguous with the Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp")/Premier Gold ("Premier") JV Rahill-Bonanza property, and northeast of Premier's 100% owned Hasaga property.

The Whitehorse Property has seen considerable past exploration. The Property has been explored and drilled quite extensively around the historic Orlac deposit discovered by Orlac Red Lake Mines Ltd in 1946-47, with excellent gold assays including Hole #NBZ-88-10 drilled by Pure Gold Resources in 1988, which graded 4.53 g/T over 26m with a 5.5m interval grading 13.65 g/T, 3.3m grading 22.22 g/T and 2m grading 34.94 g/T.

All significant gold mineralization outlined to date on the Property appears to be directly related to two stages of mineralized quartz veining within conjugate fracture shear-sets within the granodiorite Dome Stock or within its contact zone. The current drill targets can be better defined as more "classic" Red Lake gold hosted quartz vein/shear type deposits.

Previous drilling and geophysical surveying has indicated a potential for additional mineralization along a North-South structural trend, offshore of Whitehorse Island. With continued positive results from the Premier Gold Mines' drill program to the north-east, there is also potential for the south-west continuation of their Rahill-Bonanza zone (CP Zone) onto the Property.

About The Property

The Property was first staked by the Sanshaw Mines Syndicate, which later became Sanshaw Mines Ltd. In 1937 Sanshaw drilled 1178 metres, with a 9.1 metre shaft sunk on Whitehorse Island. From 1939 to 1941, MacKenzie Red Lake Gold Mines drilled 17 holes for 353.6 metres.

During World War II work on the Property was suspended until 1946-47 when Orlac Red Lake Mines Ltd ("Orlac") deepened the shaft to 139 metres and established levels at 68 and 106 metres (termed the Orlac deposit). During this period, Orlac drilled 701 metres of underground development, 15 surface holes that totaled 1,655 metres, and 523 metres in 54 underground drill holes.

In 1948, Cable Mines and Oils Ltd. drilled four surface holes at 1,200 metres, followed by 4,207 metres drilled between 1958 and 1965. At this time, Cable Mines and Oils Ltd. issued a statement that read that, above the 375 ft. level, a resource of 175,000 tons averaging 0.20 ounces of gold per ton had been calculated (historical resource as per Ferguson, S.A. 1966, Geology of Dome Township. District of Kenora; Ontario Department of Mines, Geological Report 45). Following this discovery, Cable Mines Oils Ltd. continued drilling sporadically, testing northern extensions to mineralization.

Bonanza Red Lake Explorations Ltd. moved in 1979 and conducted geophysical surveys, followed by a six hole drill program. The best intersection was reported from hole B79-1, which returned 0.159 ounces per ton over 17.02 feet. This was followed by Pure Gold Resources Inc. who in 1987-88, optioned the property, and conducted exploration on behalf of Noramco Mining Corporation. Diamond drilling of 48 holes totaling 6,637 metres, took place along the east side of Whitehorse Island and on the lake just off the northeast side of the island. In 1988 - 89 Noramco completed a further 34 holes for a total of 4785 metres in a follow-up program, & outlined a mineralized zone 3 to 5 metres wide, 150 metres long and 125 metres deep. Grades within the zones ranged from up to 2.1 to 12.7 g/T.

The Whitehorse Island patents is host to the historic Orlac Deposit, located on and northeast of Whitehorse Island on the Property, southwest of Rahill-Bonanza has been explored and drilled since 1937 by a variety of operators, and has an historic estimated resource of 300,000 tons @ 0.08 oz/t (Noramco, 1988) and 175,000 tons @ 0.20 oz/ton Au (Cable Mines & Oils Ltd, 1948) over an area approximately 160 metres long, 3-5 metres wide, and 125 metres deep. Historic assays include intersections like 4.53 g/t Au over 26 metres and 4.70 g/t Au over 17.2 metres (Pure Gold Resources 1987-88), and 3.32 g/t Au over 28.4 metres, and 4.7 g/t Au over 17.2 metres (Noramco, 1988).

The area of mineralization associated with the historic Orlac Deposit trends northeast to the eastern edge of the Property, which is contiguous with the Rahill-Bonanza property to the northeast (see map).

The Noramco estimate constitutes a 'historical resource' with respect to NI 43-101. The resource was calculated after compiling and reviewing historic data for the property and is based on primarily the 1987-88 Noramco Mining Corporation drill program, consisting of 48 holes totaling 6,637 metres, with additional data from the subsequent, 1988-89 program with 34 holes drilled totaling 4,785 metres. There had been considerable earlier drilling including from 1946 to 1965, by Orlac Red Lake Mines Ltd., & from 1948 to 1965, by Cable Mines & Oils Ltd, and that data comprises the historic resource referred to as (Cable Mines & Oils Ltd, 1948) as compiled by Noramco.

Frontline has not completed the work required to verify these historical estimates and is not treating these historical estimates as being compliant with current standards under NI 43-101 and as such these historical estimate 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 a joint venture partner(s) in order to explore the Corporation's mineral properties in the Red Lake. To contact Frontline, please call Walter Henry at 416-414-5825 or visit the company's website.
