ASX Limited Company Announcements Office

26[th] April 2018

TECHNICAL REPORT – QUARTER ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2018

Frontier Resources Ltd (ASX: FNT) ( Frontier or the Company ) is focussed on mineral exploration in highly prospective Papua New Guinea (PNG). The Company is targeting copper+/- gold +/-molybdenum porphyries and intrusive related epithermal gold deposits on its Exploration Licences (Els), plus a two significant EL Applications. Exploration and drilling is strongly warranted on all areas. The Papuan Fold Belt contains Frontier’s Bulago and Muller ELs and the Ok Tedi porphyry copper-gold Mine (located 80km WNW of Bulago), Porgera intrusive/ epithermal related gold Mine (120km east of Bulago) and Kili Teke porphyry copper-gold Deposit (50km east of Bulago).

The Muller (EL 2356) renewal Warden’s Court Hearing which was scheduled for 17 April 2018 was deferred after discussions with the PNG Mineral Resource Authority, Chief Mining Warden. The postponement is due to the ongoing logistical and security issues in the Southern Highlands caused by the 7.5 magnitude earthquake and significant aftershocks. The Mineral Resources Authority will advise a revised date in due course. The proposed

Muller and Bulago exploration programs were also deferred after the earthquake and will be undertaken later in 2018, after the wet season.
