High-Grade Intervals At Northumberland  

VANCOUVER, BC - Fronteer Gold reported that drilling has returned some of the highest grade gold intervals ever intersected at its 100% owned Northumberland project in Nevada.

Drill hole FNU035, the first hole of the 2010 program, returned two separate high grade intervals as follows, starting at a depth of approximately 225 metres. Upper zone: 7.10 grams per tonne gold (0.207 ounces per ton) and 24.67 g/t silver (0.719 oz/ton) over 37.49 metres, including 14.31 g/t gold (0.417 oz/ton) over 2.87 metres. Lower zone: 10.62 g/t gold (0.310 oz/ton) and 12.23 g/t silver (0.357 oz/ton) over 13.11 metres, including 13.91 g/t gold (0.406 oz/ton) over 5.49 metres. Hole FNU035 is located 25 metres southwest of an historic high-grade hole (NN-5), and helps underpin the shape of a second growing high-grade domain at Northumberland. Northumberland's current $750,000 drill program, which commenced in June, consists of a minimum of nine core holes totaling 2,500 metres focused on testing multiple high-grade targets. Assays from additional holes are pending. The company's address is Suite 1650, 1055 West Hastings, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9, 604.632.4677, fax: 604.632.4678, email: [email protected].
