FRG Fronteer Gold Inc. Common Stock (Canada)

Fronteer Gold (TSX: FRG)(NYSE Amex: FRG) provides an update on expanded exploration and development activities at its Sandman gold project in Nevada, including new near-surface oxide gold results from the North Hill deposit as well as the commencement of property-wide exploration drilling. Under a new Plan of Operations, activities at Sandman have now extended well beyond previous in-fill drill programs at the Southeast Pediment and Silica Ridge deposits.

DEVELOPMENT DRILL PROGRAM AT NORTH HILL

Newmont USA Limited, as project operator, recently completed its Phase 1 development drill program at North Hill, one of four gold deposits that comprise the Sandman project. This work focused on drilling nine PQ-diameter core holes (767 metres) to obtain assay information and metallurgical material for mill and column-leach test work. Newmont also drilled a monitoring well to begin collecting hydrological data for the deposit area.

The majority of holes intersected oxide gold mineralization starting at a depth of less than 25 metres. Highlights from drilling at the North Hill deposit include:

--  1.54 grams per tonne gold (0.04 ounces per ton) over 37.49 metres,
    including 8.83 g/t gold (0.26 oz/ton) over 1.98 metres in hole NSM-182.
--  1.27 g/t gold (0.04 oz/ton) over 27.10 metres, including 3.11 g/t gold
    (0.09 oz/ton) over 6.83 metres in NSM-185.
--  7.75 g/t gold (0.23 oz/ton) over 3.96 metres in hole NSM-184

The North Hill deposit is an oxidized, low-sulphidation epithermal gold system that is currently 550 metres long, 430 metres wide, and has only been tested to a depth of 210 metres. High-angle controlling structures, similar to those hosting the high-grade mineralization at Silica Ridge and Southeast Pediment, are thought to also play an important role at North Hill.

Additional drilling at North Hill is planned for the winter.

REGIONAL EXPLORATION PROGRAM

In addition to the initial North Hill program, Newmont has also completed 33 holes (5,624 metres) of a 53-hole (18,450 metre) property-wide exploration drill program at Sandman. The goal of this exploration program is:

--  To expand the four existing gold deposits along strike and at depth.
--  To test a series of new structural, geophysical and geochemical targets
    elsewhere on the property.

Assay results from this program are pending and a follow-up regional exploration program will be designed in 2011, based on 2010 results.

ADDITIONAL YEAR 3 ACTIVITIES

Newmont is three months into its final year of a three-year earn-in agreement and has the option of earning an initial 51% interest in the project by making a positive production decision by June 2011.

Additional exploration/development activities currently underway include the following:

--  Silica Ridge - 74 holes, four column tests near completion, waste rock
    characterization and geotechnical evaluation in progress, and
    hyrological data being collected
--  SE Pediment - 72 holes, four column tests completed, waste rock
    characterization and geotechnical evaluation in progress, and
    hydrological data being collected.

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 70% to 100% of those stated. Primary composite intervals stated in this release were calculated using a cut-off of 0.5 g/t Au and 2.0 g/t Au for the higher grade internal intervals.
