Frontline Gold Corporation announced that following the receipt of 2022 soil sampling results on its Crooked Pine Lake Gold Property (the "Property") located 35 km east of Atikokan, Ontario, spring and summer prospecting, soil sampling and mechanical stripping programs are planned. The 2022 soil sampling program targeted the strike extensions of the historical 'Trench 1' and 'South' Zones, where results of 7.03 gpt and 3.06 gpt Au were obtained respectively from 2020-2021 field programs. The 2022 program returned an As-Cu anomaly in humus 900 meters west of Trench 1 along the interpreted 'Pothole Lake Deformation Zone' (PLDZ), as well as Cu anomalies along strike to the east of the South Zone. Arsenic and copper are pathfinders for Au mineralization on the Property.

Spring 2023 prospecting and soil sampling will further target the PLDZ. Mechanical stripping later in the summer will re-open Trench 1 and attempt to locate the eastern strike extension of the South Zone, as well as attempting to reach bedrock at certain 2022 and 2023 soil anomalies if feasible. The PLDZ is situated in a belt of east-west-trending greenstone south of the granitic Marmion Lake Batholith.

Shear zones within the belt occur in mafic to intermediate volcanics and contain quartz veining in excess of 1 meter, iron carbonate alteration, potassic alteration, and variable contents of pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. East-west-trending shearing in mafic to intermediate volcanicics is one of two main structural settings for gold mineralization on the property. The second is northeast-trending faults or shears interpreted as splays from the Quetico fault.

The northeast-trending X.656 Shear Zone in the western part of the property extends into the graniticMarmion Lake Batholith, where grab samples up to 19.2 gpt Au were obtained during the summer 2020 field program. Similar faults /shear zones are important hosts for gold mineralization in the Atikokan area, i.e. at the Hammond Reef deposit of A.
