The results clearly demonstrate the presence of high-grade gold domains at Northumberland.

These zones are important in understanding the deposits grade continuity and amenability to either open-pit or underground mining methods.

Future drilling applying this proven target concept could result in the expansion of additional high-grade zones.

Drilling at the first target has highlighted a large higher grade gold zone that is approximately 200 metres long by up to 200 metres in width, and starting within 150 metres of surface.

Mineralization can be up to 30 metres in thickness and remains open to the northwest.

Drilling reinforces initial results reported Dec.

9, 2009. To see a table of drill highlights please view this release as it appears on our website under the Latest News section at http://www.fronteergroup.com/?q=news/latest Fronteer also tested a second high-grade target area located 200 metres to the southwest.

Hole NUG03 intersected approximately 24 metres of near-continuous mineralization comprising three stacked intervals as follows: - 6.61 g/t (0.193 oz/ton) over 2.44 metres - 5.19 g/t (0.151 oz/ton) over 5.64 metres - 5.46 g/t (0.159 oz/ton) over 11.13 metres, including 10.70 g/t (0.312 oz/ton) over 1.52 metres. Northumberland is an archetypal Carlin-style deposit that has long been recognized as having the potential for a significant component of high-grade mineralization.

However, aside from the rich silver veins mined from this deposit in the late 1800s, the majority of exploration to date has focused on the near-surface oxide and mixed oxide/sulfide mineralization.

As such, large areas like the ones tested with this drill program are still underrepresented in the deposit. These drill targets are thought to be two of multiple high-grade zones that characterize the western half of the deposit area. These drill results are part of an ongoing comprehensive program that will allow Fronteer to select the most viable, near-term development approach for the project.

Four of the holes drilled in the 2009 program, NUG01 to NUG04, were also part of a geotechnical program to help determine rock strength parameters for underground mine design.

Northumberland, Sandman and Long Canyon comprise Fronteers future production platform based in Nevada.

All three gold deposits have high-grade gold starting at- or near-surface, are potentially open-pit mineable and have encouraging production attributes.

Fronteer aims to build regional production by advancing these projects sequentially over the near-term, and funding the companys growth with low-risk of dilution.

In the near-term, Fronteer anticipates ongoing deposit growth to add significant gold ounces to its ledger and pending results from a variety of development activities to clearly define the economic strength of the companys projects.

James Ashton P.E.

is designated as a Qualified Person for the Northumberland drill results, with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity of, and validity of these data.

Drill composites were calculated using a cut-off of 3.0 g/t.

Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses.

Reverse circulation cuttings were sampled on 5.0 feet (1.52 metre) intervals.

Drill samples were assayed by ALS Chemex (ISO9001:2000) in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish, or if over 10.0 g/t were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish.

For these samples, the gravimetric data were utilized in calculating gold intersections.

QA/QC included the insertion of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and the insertion of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch.

Selected holes are also analyzed for a 51-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS/-AES. ABOUT FRONTEER We intend to become a significant gold producer.

Our solid financial position and strong operational team give us the ability to advance our key gold projects through to production.

Our future potential production platform includes our Long Canyon, Sandman and Northumberland projects - all located in Nevada, one of the friendliest gold-mining jurisdictions in the world.
