Drill Core Assay Results to 5m of 13.92 g/t Gold and Further Drilling Planned
Frontier Resources Ltd is pleased to announce that assays from recently completed drill holes EZU001, EZU002 and EZU003 from the Swit Kai East Creek Upper Zone, Bulago, Papua New Guinea, all show significantly elevated gold grades when associated with intrusives, quartz veining and brecciated zones.
-
Three diamond core holes (37.4m total of HQ TT) were completed that targeted a moderate‐steep SSW dipping gold mineralised zone, with a previously released (11/6/14) jackhammer channel sampled intercept of 2.0m grading 195.0 g/t gold + 39.1 g/t silver. However, the gold encountered is primarily flat lying /conformable with the sediments, with a secondary association with the targeted dipping zone.
-
The best intercept was in EZU001 with 5.0m grading a weighted average of 13.92 g/t gold, from surface. This includes a best intercept of 1.0m grading 29.7 g/t gold + 6.5 g/t silver, from 3.0 to 4.0m downhole.
-
Hole EZU002 returned 3.6m grading 7.92 g/t gold, from surface and EZU003 had 2m grading 6.44 g/t gold plus 1m grading 4.79 g/t gold, from 1.0m downhole. The peak assay in EZU003 was 25.40 g/t gold, showing the nugget effect (grade variability) from very fine grained native gold.
-
Drilling will continue at the high grade gold Swit East Creek Upper and Lower Zones plus newly advanced associated targets as soon as reasonably possible.
-
The mineralisation model has been refined and there is excellent strike continuity potential that can now be easily drill accessed relative to the topography. Many new targets have been proposed from the topographic evaluation and its refinement is ongoing. Flat spots indicate resistance to erosion and silicified (possibly brecciated and gold mineralised) intrusive. Multiple horizontal and dipping levels of gold mineralisation are predicted over significant strike distances. Additional information relating to the strike potential of the project will be released when plans are generated.
-
Assay results from the single line of ridgeline soil samples over 2 anomalies (located within fly camping distance from Swit Kai) each returned distinct zones with elevated zinc, silver, gold, arsenic, antimony but low copper. The assay results are still low order relative to the Bulago area norms and their relevance will be further evaluated, as we are attempting to 'see through' a sediment cap for the skarn and 'geochemical' leakage is an excellent vector to such a source.
DETAILS
Frontier’s drilling program at the Swit Kai East Creek Upper Zone, Bulago EL in Papua New Guinea, targeted a 2.0m wide gold mineralised interval that graded 195.0 g/t in demolition jackhammer trench channel sampling (4/2014) that appeared to dip moderately south. It was noted by the current drilling, that it then comes from a sub‐ horizontal zone of gold mineralisation that is conformable with the sediments and the dip slope mineralisation does not extend further at that location.

The three holes totalled 37.8m and were completed approximately perpendicular to the dipping mineralisation/ structure, on azimuths of 350[o] magnetic. Hole collar co‐ordinates (handheld GPS‐ AGD66) and information is tabulated below. Drilling was suspended in May due to minor but debilitating rig hydraulic issues (easily fixed with new seals), but will continue at the Upper and Lower high grade gold Zones as soon as reasonably possible.

Hole EZU001 returned 5.0m grading a weighted average of 13.9 g/t gold from surface. Some grade variability / nugget effect was noted, with the average becoming 15.8g/t if the high assays are used and 11.9 if the low assays are used. EZU001 (8.1m) was inclined to 40[o] and collared 3m south of the waterfall face (or assumed north end of high‐grade zone).
In EZU002 (11.3m) the skid position was the same but the inclination was 70[o] and the collar was further south 1.0m. Hole EZU002 returned 3.6m grading 7.92 g/t gold, from surface.
Hole EZU003 (18.4m) was collared a further 5.0m to the south and was also inclined at 70[o] ; it contained 2m grading 6.44 g/t gold, plus 1m grading 4.79 g/t gold, from 1.0m downhole. The peak assay in EZU003 was 1m of 25.40 g/t gold, showing the nugget effect (grade variability) from very fine grained native gold.
The first native gold in rock for the Bulago EL ever was noted in hole EZU002 at 1.15m and at 3.00m downhole (peak gold assay from 1.0m to 2.0m = 6.11g/t and from 3.0m to 3.6m = 9.39g/t), then in hole EZU001 at 0.70m (0.0m to 1.0m = 7.37 g/t gold).
Gold mineralisation is hosted by narrow silica / quartz veins producing stock‐workings, with multiple generations of intense brecciation, dogstooth quartz and lead + zinc sulphide minerals + semi massive sulphides that are located in intrusives proximal to large scale normal moderate to steep south dipping structures (faults) and conformable with the sub‐horizontal host siltstone. The most strongly veined, brecciated and base metal sulphide mineralised intercepts are the most prospective for high grade gold mineralisation.
Frontier drilled under the gold mineralisation at the Central Upper Zone in late 2014, testing for sub‐horizontal and north dipping possibilities to it. The drilling proved that all the Central Upper Zone mineralisation is related to fault/fracture fill /silicification on the 'dip slope' and is not sub‐horizontal. It is therefore relatively thin (1 to 2m?) and to test it now would means drilling directly on the 50‐degree dip slope (which would have been done if it were possible). That lesson was taken to East Creek and we focused on evaluating the south dipping

structure, but the mineralisation turned out to be predominantly flat lying. Gold mineralisation is undoubtedly also located in the dip slope structure targeted, but its size and tenor of the grade has not yet been determined.

The Central Lower Zone actually corresponds to the East Creek Upper Zone (both are sub‐horizontal gold mineralisation on the same 'level') and the Central Upper Zone corresponds more to the East Creek Lower Zone (mod‐high angle south dipping mineralisation). Conceivably, the highest grade mineralisation would be where they intersect.
The best immediate large /regional target is the next zone upslope from Swit Kai, according to the aeromagnetics. Another excellent new zone to test is downslope from Swit Kai and has very strong zinc and lead, plus gold anomalies in grid based soil sampling and an OTML rock outcrop sample to 27 g/t gold. Excellent drill targets are the junctions of the sub‐horizontal mineralised layer on 1630m RL and the moderate south dipping structures. This creates a horizontal plunge possibility for higher grade mineralisation, that is apparent is EZU001.

| Sampling techniques |
o | Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down whole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
As noted herein | |

| Diagrams | o | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Appropriate maps, sections and tabulations of intercepts are included. |

| Balanced reporting |
o | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Comprehensive reporting of Exploration Results has been previously completed and released. |
||
| Other substantive exploration data |
o | Other exploration data, if meaningful and material should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples ‐ size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances |
All meaningful exploration data has been included in this and previous releases. |

| Further work | o o |
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large‐scale step‐out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commerciallysensitive. |
Future work is dependent on a capital raising to be undertaken in mid‐2016. Appropriate plans will be included, as possible in a later release documenting approved future work programs. |
