Frontline Gold Submits Application for Operating License on the Menderes Project; Plans to Complete Further Soil Sampling

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

Frontline Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:FGC) ("Frontline" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has submitted the necessary application for the
operating licenses with the MIGEM (Turkish Republic Ministry of Energy and
Natural Resources) for its Menderes Gold Project ("Menderes"). The license
application covers three of the four permits that comprise the Company's
Menderes project (see attached Map A). The operating licenses are expected to be
issued by the end of the Q2 2012. The license application, which was based on a
detailed description of the Menderes project and the work completed on the
project since Q1 2011 was submitted to the Turkish Mining Bureau. This license
will allow Frontline to hold the permits for a further 10 years and continue its
exploration at Menderes. Several high priority drill targets exist on the
Menderes project and the Company is currently permitted to drill 20 holes at the
property.


The Company is also pleased to announce that it has initiated further surface
soil sampling work at Menderes on its Camtepe permit. The soil geochemical
sample survey program is being conducted over an area of approximately 414
hectares covered by the permit (see Map B).


The soil and geochemical sampling program will consist of 1,089 soils samples
with each sample spaced 40m horizontally and 100m vertically between samples. To
date over 250 soil samples and 25 rock samples have been collected. In addition,
a number of new silicified zones and epithermal vein systems have been
discovered. The zones and vein systems are NW-SE trending, similar to what was
previously identified at the Menderes project. Prospecting and mapping is
ongoing and a soil anomaly contour map will be completed when all assays results
have been received, which is expected by Q3 2012.


The Menderes project remains a very high priority for the Company. The Company
continues to assess advanced project opportunities and permits to add to its
Turkish gold portfolio.


Menderes is located in Izmir province, western Turkey, and the property, located
only 20 km from the provincial capital of Izmir, consists of 62 km2 in a high
potential epithermal gold environment. The exploration focus of Menderes is the
eastern strike extension of Eldorado Gold Corporation's Efemcukuru gold mine,
which began operation in mid-2011.
