~$2.5 Million Spent

Aimed to delineate mineralization more accurately in known areas & complete preliminary testing of newly identified anomalous areas remote from known mineralization

13,922m RC drilling completed to date

31 DDH of 4,243m (full assay results provided in FGC News Release dated Feb. 22, 2011 and October 12, 2011)

A new gold discovery, a 400m long strike interval carrying gold in the bedrock. The structure is still open to the west, Hole N-11-RC-122 shows a gold intersection of 1.95 g/t Au over 4.0 m.

Conducted extensive mapping, pitting, trenching, geophysical surveys & limited drilling

4 principal areas of eluvial & hard rock gold mineralization were delineated:

• Lebre Plateau: contains Au mineralization zones up to 25 m wide; artisanal workings principally distributed within N-NE trending zone ~500 m x 350 m

• Niaouleni South: comprises series of discontinuous, auriferous quartz veins distributed along 900 m x 200 m N-NE zone

• Kankou Moussa: mineralized zone extends in NE trend ~1.4 km x 1-200 m, along orthogonal ~900 m x 250 m E-NE trend

• Goingoindougou: N trending, 520 m x 60 m -100 m zone Au-bearing quartz stock works & veins

1993: Mink completed 21 reverse circulation (RC) holes totaling 2,053 m

1996/1997: Mink drilled 3,252 m in 27 holes

TSX-V: FGC

1998: Mink announced the following historical “reserves” (Non NI 43-101 Compliant) based partly on pits, trenches, RC drilling and diamond drilling(1):

While the historical reserves can not be relied upon, ACA Howe believes historical work provides indication of project’s exploration potential & extent of gold mineralization

Historical database will be focus of future exploration by Frontline Gold Corp.
