Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2016) - Frontline Gold Corp. (TSXV: FGC) ("Frontline" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has, subject to regulatory approval, acquired a 100% interest in seven (7) gold properties in the Rainy River area of Ontario, ("Rainy River Properties") which are strategically located adjacent to Chalice Gold Mines Ltd.'s Cameron Gold Project ("Chalice Gold's Cameron Gold Project") in the Rainy River area. The properties comprise 7 individual property groups covered by 21 mining claims (see attached map).

Chalice Gold's Cameron Gold Project is located in the mineralized Kakagi Lake Greenstone Belt of the Archean-aged Superior Province located in the Kenora township in southwestern Ontario. In December, 2015, Chalice filed a Technical Report (the "Report") entitled "Technical Report on the Cameron Gold Deposit, Ontario, Canada". The Report included a resource estimate for the Cameron Gold project which, at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t gold, is estimated to have Measured and Indicated Resources of 7,824,000 tonnes grading 2.26 g/t gold (569,000 Au ounces) and Inferred Resources of 14,464,000 tonnes grading 1.92 g/t gold (894,000 Au ounces) (source: Chalice Gold Mines Ltd. website at www.chalicegold.com).

To exercise its option and acquire a 100% interest in the Rainy River claims, Frontline must issue a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation and pay the Optionor a total of $108,000 (of which a total of $50,500 is due in years 3 and 4 of the option agreement), $18,000 has been paid to date, and grant the Optionor a 2% net smelter returns royalty. The properties are subject to a net smelter returns royalty of 2% on six claims and 1% on the remaining fifteen claims. Frontline may repurchase one-half of the 2% royalty for $1,000,000 and one-half of the 1% royalties for $250,000. The issuance of shares is subject to the receipt of all regulatory approvals, including approval of the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange.

Commentary

Frontline's President and CEO, Mr. Walter Henry, said, "The Rainy River Properties are an excellent addition given the proximity of Chalice Gold's Cameron Gold Project. Note that Chalice Gold on May 4, 2016 pressed released that it had entered into an agreement to sell its wholly-owned Cameron Gold Project, to First Mining Finance Corp. ("First Mining") in exchange for 32,260,836 common shares of First Mining., which represents approximately 8.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of First Mining. The deemed value of this transaction is approximately $13-million (source: www.chalicegold.com).

In addition, the low acquisition cost of the land package combined with no or minimal property expenditure requirements depending on the property allows us to grow our strategic positions in Red Lake and the surrounding area. The Flint Lake, Sandhill Properties that Frontline has acquired are strategically situated along the Pipestone - Cameron Fault which crosses diagonally through the Chalice Gold Cameron Gold Project land boundary."

Frontline's Rainy River Projects

Consists of 7 individual property groups:

All the above reference properties, excluding Shingwak Lake and Sandhill Lake have reported historical gold occurrences.

Flint Lake: 6 Claims located along the Pipestone Cameron Fault, with the group adjacent to Chalice Gold's Cameron Gold property that host its Dogpaw and Dubenski deposits. Frontline's specific rationale in acquiring this land package had to do with strategically adding undervalued gold exploration properties where the cost to maintain the properties is minimal. As noted in the table below, this claim package has a combined C$417,631 in banked assessment credits; after the current maturity dates of land claims 2019/2020, the combined $11,200 in annual required work on the group would be covered for the next 30 plus years by the banked assessment credits.

Sandhill: 3 claims located in the Brooks Lake Area and adjacent to Cameron Gold Project and where ideally situated to where Chalice did its 2015 Cameron Rock Chip and Soil Programs (source: http://www.chalicegold.com/images/content/Corp_Presentation_Feb_2016.pdf)

Hay Island: 4 claims located just south of the Chalice's southern property boundary. The 4 claims are host to mafic and ultramafic intrusive rocks and contain recorded historical gold drilling results.

Peninsula Bay: 2 claims located in the Dogpaw Lake Area. The 2 claims are host to mafic and ultramafic intrusive rocks and contain recorded historical gold drilling results.

Frontline has not completed any work required to verify the historical mining estimates noted above and is not treating these historical estimates as being compliant with current standards under NI 43-101 and as such these historical estimates should not be relied upon. Caution should be used when evaluating these resources as they were calculated prior to NI 43-101 existing and a qualified person has not done work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.

Frontline continues to actively seek additional investor/partner(s) in order to continue to advance its tailings projects in Turkey and its exploration programs for its Red Lake portfolio of properties. To contact Frontline, please call Walter Henry at 416-414-5825 or visit the company's website.
