Fronteer Development Discovers New High-Grade Gold Zone

Fronteer Development Group Inc. reported the discovery of a new zone of high-grade gold mineralization at its Long Canyon Project in Nevada. Results from Long Canyon's 2008 work program confirm the presence of a parallel zone of mineralization, referred to as the Shadow Zone, located approximately 200 metres to the northwest of the previously reported main mineralized zone. Drill results from the new Shadow Zone have returned 7.74 grams per tonne gold (0.226 oz/ton) over 22.9 metres (75 feet), including 12.44 g/t (0.363 oz/ton) over 12.2 m (40 feet) in hole LC092. Gold mineralization has been intersected in multiple, parallel zones over a strike length of more than 1,200 metres (3,900 feet) and remains open in all directions.
