Vancouver, British Columbia � October 25, 2007 � Thracean Gold Mines S.A.
(�TGM�), the operating subsidiary of Frontier Pacific Mining Corporation (TSX-V:FRP) (the �Company�), announced the results of the official
opinion poll undertaken by Pulse Company in cooperation with the Athens
University of Economics indicating that 63.3% of the population of the County
of Evros is in favour of the Perama Hill Gold Mine development in a press
conference last Monday in Alexandroupolis.
The official poll, conducted in early October, shows an ever increasing
support for the development of the Perama Hill Gold Mine provided that the
project meets the standards of environmental protection outlined in European
Union legislation and the Ministry of Environment standards in Greece.
The Environmental Terms of Reference (ETR), drafted and
approved by the technical management of the Ministry of Environment of Greece,
fully incorporate and exceed all international standards as well as the
standards of European and Greek legislation. The ETR approves the Environmental
Impact Study carried out over the past seven years by TGM.
In addition to the very positive opinion of the general
population of Evros
County
in northern Greece,
the five villages within a ten kilometre radius of the Perama Hill Mine-site
have joined with TGM in support of the project.
Positive support for the development of the Perama Hill
Gold project was received from senior ministerial officials and a senior
minister in meetings held in Athens
this past week with TGM.
The poll conducted in early October followed the Greek
national elections held in mid-September where the New Democracy party was
re-elected with a majority government on a platform of economic development and
job creation. The development of the Perama Hill project agrees with the
central governments objectives to create job opportunities through economic
development in northern Greece
provided the environment is protected.
The positive opinion poll resulted from the recognition by
the region�s population about the potential economic benefits and environmental
safeguards from projected operations of the Perama Hill gold mine. TGM was
totally transparent in its discussions with the local population and offered
sceptics every opportunity to meet and discuss the environmental safeguards
incorporated in the mine development.
The net result of the opinion poll from the region now
provides both TGM and the central government of Greece with confirmation
that the citizens of northern Greece
now understand the Perama Hill safeguards and economic benefits. This objective
understanding of the project in the region will provide confidence to the Joint
Ministerial Council to approve the Environmental Terms of Reference and allow
TGM to move forward with the detail design and begin construction of the mine.
