Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - June 10, 2021 – Frontline Gold Corporation (TSXV:FGC) (OTC:FLDPF) (“Frontline” or the “Company”) announces that a drill has been mobilized and the drilling program will commence at its Menderes Gold Project (“Menderes” or the “Property”) in Turkey, on June 14th, as previously announced on May 11, 2021.

 

The drilling program at Menderes will concentrate on the southeastern strike extension of the Kokarpinar vein system with current inferred resources of 2.3Mt grading 6.64 gpt Au for 491,000 ounces of gold (43-101 Technical Report, Eldorado Gold, 2019).  Drilling by Eldorado Gold has been testing for the Kokarpinar extension within 20-100m of Frontlines property boundary.

 

The program will initially consist of a 1,000 metres and it will test a few Priority 1 epithermal gold targets including a drill hole that will test for the extension of the upper epithermal Kokarpinar gold-bearing vein of Eldorado Gold’s Efemcukuru Gold Mine Complex adjacent to Frontline's permit boundary to the west. The P13 target is approximately 20 metres from the Frontline-Eldorado mutual boundary.
