Dear Shareholder

RE: Frontier’s Share Purchase Plan (SPP) Closes on May 14, 2008

The Company has noted that the closing date for Frontier’s Share Purchase Plan on the back of the subscription form supplied by the share registry is not correct. It should be 14/5/2008

The Share Purchase Plan capital raising is required for your Company to continue to drill and define the gold resource at Andewa, progress the Kodu Deposit Exploration Licence renewal and explore the Company’s other prospective tenements in Papua New Guinea and Tasmania.

Frontier has successfully drilled gold mineralisation on all of the six fences completed to date on the Komsen structure at the Mt Andewa property, with high-grade gold documented in many holes. Results have included 7.9m of 10.01g/t gold, 10.8m of 7.4g/t gold, 3.0m of 10.97g/t gold, 1m of 19g/t gold +119g/t silver+ 10% zinc and 0.9m of 10.55 g/t gold. Previous surface trenches included 5.0m of 18.5 g/t gold, 3.7m of 12.6 g/t gold, 3m of 14.3 g/t gold and 21.65m of 4.4 g/t gold.

A 23m wide downhole zone of megascopic mineralisation and alteration was noted in recent hole AFD018 (assays awaited) and was further targeted by holes 019 and 020 (underway) at the far eastern end of the area drilled to date, where visible gold was also noted in 2 trenches.

Frontier Resources has not received any verbal or written communications from the PNG government regarding the Kodu renewal this year but the Company considers that under the PNG Mining Act 1992 the Minister For Mines has no grounds to refuse the renewal. A very encouraging independent Draft Initial Environmental Assessment that has evaluated normal environmental issues relating to Kodu and Port Moresby’s future water supply issues was received. Peter Allan Lowing Lawyers of Port Moresby have been appointed legal counsel to defend Frontier’s rights in the PNG (and Australian) courts if required.

The Managing Director and Chairman’s corporate (and family) interests will be contributing their maximum allowances to the SPP, which given the timeframe /circumstances is progressing well.

Frontier continues to work diligently to define a gold resource at Komsen, is seeking short term commercial drilling opportunities to assist cash flow and will continue to fight for the renewal of the Kodu EL and if rejected, adequate fiscal compensation for sunk costs and lost potential profit.

Sincerely,
