Directors are pleased to announce that the capital raising consisting of the Share Purchase Plan and Placements at $0.23 has closed.

Chairman and Managing Director Peter McNeil stated:

This is a fantastic result for Frontier which demonstrates the confidence the market has in the Company's management to maximise the full potential of our highly prospective tenement portfolio.

I have just returned from Andewa after verifying the location of the first 3 planned drill holes.

Frontier is at a very exciting stage of its development as we begin our 10,000m drilling program at Andewa.

Many thanks to the entire Frontier team for their hard work, dedication and loyalty.

Sincerely,

FRONTIER RESOURCES LTD
