Frontline Announces Identification of New Targets Resulting from Recent Interpretation and Compilation of Regional and Local Geophysical Surveys at its Paint Lake Road JV
Highlights- Work by Bold Ventures Inc. on their adjacent property to the north of the Paint Lake Road Joint Venture Property (PLR JV) indicates prospective targets related to the extension of anomalies into the PLR JV property
- Recently interpreted Northwest trending magnetic low anomaly combined with the PLR JV property database has more accurately positioned the location of prospective gold targets for ground follow up work.
- A proposed prospecting and mapping campaign is planned to explore these areas in the summer of 2023.
Frontline Gold Corp. (TSX-V:FGC) ("Frontline" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that recent published work by Bold Ventures Inc. (See Bold press release dated April 18, 2023) on their property adjacent to the Paint Lake Road Joint Venture (PLR JV) property has been incorporated with past work filed in the Ontario Government Assessment Database and has identified a strong northwest-southeast trending structure which crosses the PLR JV property. The structure is typified on the Bold Property Airborne Magnetic Survey as an easily recognized magnetic low which appears to displace known EM anomalies and stratigraphy. Frontline Staff used the results from this survey to project features of interest onto the PLR JV ground. These include not only the magnetic break described above but also strong airborne VTEM anomalies. Further examination of past geophysical work identified the same magnetic low crossing ground to the southeast of the PLR JV property.
The Paint Lake Road Joint Venture press release dated November 22, 2022 described ground VLF EM anomalies which appear to align with a number of these VTEM anomalies.
In discussing VTEM anomalies within the magnetic low feature Bold consulting Geophysicist Scott Hogg states "The weak magnetic lineaments that bound the (VTEM) conductor to the SW and NE are evident in the profile presentation. This is the only anomaly identified that presents a weak linear conductor, in a magnetic low bounded by parallel weakly magnetic linears; a combination considered favorable for gold association."
The interpreted results are shown in Map 1.

The magnetic break on the PLR JV property to be associated with displaced Magnetic highs and
with topographic features which align with the structure. It appears that the shear zone has over 1 kilometer of strike length on the PLR JV Property. The strike of the shear zone appears to align with the location of the Mishi Pit of Wesdome approximately 5 km to the southeast.
The location of the projected magnetic feature and the extension of VTEM ad magnetic anomalies is shown on Map 2.

A program of prospecting, sampling, ground geophysics and geological mapping followed up by drilling as indicated has been prepared for the 2023 summer season and is set to begin as soon as logistics can be arranged.
About the Paint Lake Road JV
The project is a 50/50 Joint Venture with Frontline Gold Corp. (TSX-V:FGC) and Advance United Holdings Inc. subsidiary Talisker Gold is the operator.
The PLR JV property is located in the Wawa area approximately 5 kilometers from the Mishi Open Pit of Wesdome Mining. The property is a 50/50 joint Venture between AUHI and Frontline Gold Corp. The property comprises 65 claims (1460 Ha) situated along the Northeasterly trending Pukaskwa/ Iron Lake Shear Zone. The claims are reported to be underlain by granitic rocks but the presence of airborne magnetic anomalies and the cross-cutting shear zone suggest complications. More information on the geology and targets on the PLR JV property can be found in the Press Release dated 11-22-2023.
"We are pleased to report new targets on the PLR JV property as a result of these regional interpretations. Often these regional structures can act as a control on gold mineralization and provide additional support for our drill target generation" states Mr. Jim Atkinson, P.Geo. and CEO of Advance United.
About Advance United Holdings
Advance United brings an entirely different approach to the mining industry. We don't mine. Rather, we've acquired a portfolio of undervalued gold properties and are increasing their value through the application of modern technology. We have a growing pipeline of similar properties that we are looking to acquire. And now we've launched the Au Marketplace. A first of its kind digital platform that connects owners of mineral commodities and deposits with developers and producers. We are involved exclusively in the acquisition and advancement of past projects - with no intent to bring them back into production or to mine them ourselves. Our expertise is in identifying and acquiring undervalued properties with significant historical work, which were uneconomic at the time, but we believe have economic value at today's prices. We fund the development of re-working historic data and applying modern technology to underwrite new qualified reports, document quantifiable resources and reserves to current standards, thereby recognizing the current value. Our purpose is to bring immediate and long-term value to our partners and shareholders while seeking to eliminate exploration risk, so that we can all advance united in the shortest possible time frame. For additional information about us, our projects, or to find out how you can list your project in the Au Marketplace, visit www.advanceunited.ca.
