Fronteer Gold (TSX: FRG)(NYSE Amex: FRG) reports additional intersections of near-surface, high-grade oxide gold at Sandman, demonstrating the Nevada deposit's strong open-pit development potential.

Newmont USA Limited, as project operator, recently completed a 19-hole drill program at Silica Ridge, one of four gold deposits that comprise our Sandman project. All of the holes reported below intersected gold and silver mineralization within 10 metres of surface. Highlighted intercepts from these holes include:


--  80.58 grams per tonne gold (2.35 ounces per ton) and 1,137.55 g/t silver
(33.18 oz/ton) over 2.93 metres in hole NSM-164,

--  66.98 g/t gold (1.95 oz/ton) and 49.82 g/t silver (1.45 oz/ton) over
1.10 metres in NSM-161;

--  8.12 g/t gold (0.24 oz/ton) and 17.52 g/t silver (0.51 oz/ton) over 1.55
metres in NSM-45;


High-grade gold and silver is a consistent component of mineralization at Sandman, reinforcing the high-quality nature of this epithermal system.

Newmont continues to meet earn-in obligations and can elect to make a positive production decision by June 2011 to earn a 51% interest in Sandman, which is located within trucking distance to Newmont's Twin Creeks facilities.

Sandman, Northumberland and Long Canyon comprise Fronteer Gold's future production platform based in Nevada. All three gold deposits have high-grade gold starting at or near surface, and have encouraging production attributes.

Drill samples and analytical data for the Sandman project are being collected under the supervision of Newmont, using industry standard QA-QC protocols. Fronteer Gold's James Ashton P.E., who is the QP responsible for compiling the data contained in this release, has not verified all the data; however, the grades and widths reported here are consistent with Fronteer Gold's past results on the project. Correspondence with the operator and review of portions of the data, has given him no reason to doubt the results authenticity. The true width of the mineralized zones is estimated by Fronteer Gold to be approximately 90% of those stated. Primary composite intervals stated in this release were calculated using a cut-off of 0.3 g/t Au, 0.5 g/t Au and 2.0 g/t Au for the higher grade internal intervals. No gold values below the 0.30 g/t Au cut-off were included as internal dilution. The lower 0.3 g/t cut off is used to conform with the 43-101 compliant resources previously calculated on the Sandman Project.
