Drilling Intersects Gold At Sandman Project

VANCOUVER - Fronteer Development Group Inc. reported the results of the first 12 holes completed by Newmont USA Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, as part of the ongoing 2009 US$5M work-program at the Sandman gold project in Nevada.
All 12 holes intersected the near-surface, oxide gold mineralization at Sandman's Southeast Pediment deposit as part of a broader resource delineation program. Results are very encouraging as they confirm not only the high-grade nature of the gold mineralization, but the potential for a large tonnage of lower-grade material.
Highlights include:Ê
-14.30 g/t (0.417 oz/ton) over 12.77 metres, including 72.36 g/t (2.111 oz/ton) over 1.86 metres in NSM-55; and,
- 139.03 grams per tonne gold (4.055 ounces per ton) over 2.35 metres, in NSM-57.
The holes lie within the main resource area at Southeast Pediment. Silver is also a consistent component of the mineralized system at Sandman, with assays up to 121.03 g/t (3.53 oz/ton) over 1.52 metres. Two core drills and one reverse-circulation drill are currently active on the property with approximately 30 holes completed to date in 2009.
Sandman is located along the King River Rift structure, a regional feature that hosts multiple high-grade vein-related gold systems, including the Sleeper gold mine and the Goldbanks deposit.Ê
