Frontline Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:FGC) (“Frontline” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has submitted the necessary application for the operating licenses with the MIGEM (Turkish Republic Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources) for its Menderes Gold Project (“Menderes”). The license application covers three of the four permits that comprise the Company’s Menderes project (see attached Map A). The operating licenses are expected to be issued by the end of the Q2 2012. The license application, which was based on a detailed description of the Menderes project and the work completed on the project since Q1 2011 was submitted to the Turkish Mining Bureau. This license will allow Frontline to hold the permits for a further 10 years and continue its exploration at Menderes. Several high priority drill targets exist on the Menderes project and the Company is currently permitted to drill 20 holes at the property.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has initiated further surface soil sampling work at Menderes on its Camtepe permit. The soil geochemical sample survey program is being conducted over an area of approximately 414 hectares covered by the permit (see Map B).

The soil and geochemical sampling program will consist of 1,089 soils samples with each sample spaced 40m horizontally and 100m vertically between samples. To date over 250 soil samples and 25 rock samples have been collected. In addition, a number of new silicified zones and epithermal vein systems have been discovered. The zones and vein systems are NW-SE trending, similar to what was previously identified at the Menderes project. Prospecting and mapping is ongoing and a soil anomaly contour map will be completed when all assays results have been received, which is expected by Q3 2012.

The Menderes project remains a very high priority for the Company. The Company continues to assess advanced project opportunities and permits to add to its Turkish gold portfolio.

Menderes is located in Izmir province, western Turkey, and the property, located only 20 km from the provincial capital of Izmir, consists of 62 km² in a high potential epithermal gold environment. The exploration focus of Menderes is the eastern strike extension of Eldorado Gold Corporation’s Efemcukuru gold mine, which began operation in mid-2011.
