[{"type":"text","content":"\nFronteer Gold: Drilling Along Northern Extension Intersects 44.2 Metres of 10.14 g/t Gold at Long Canyon, Nevada\n\n\n Aug. 19, 2010 (Newsfile Corp.) -- Vancouver, British Columbia--(August 18, 2010) - Fronteer Gold (TSX:FRG) (FRG: TSX/NYSE-Amex) provides an update on exploration and development activities at its Long Canyon gold project, including the reporting of significant intervals of high-grade oxide gold intersected northeast and southwest of the current resource area. Long Canyon, Sandman and Northumberland gold projects comprise Fronteer Gold’s development platform in Nevada. Long Canyon’s 2010 program is multidisciplinary and focused on resource definition and expansion, as well as metallurgical, engineering, and environmental work necessary to advance the project toward production in the near-term. EXPLORATION UPDATEDrilling in 2010 is largely focused in the northern half of the deposit. Five drill rigs are currently operating on the property and more than 40,000 metres of the year’s originally planned 45,000 metres have been drilled to date (an additional 15,000 metres of drilling is forecasted through November). Drill result highlights from the northern part of the deposit include: 10.14 grams per tonne gold (0.296 ounces per ton) over 44.2 metres, including 15.39 g/t (0.449 oz/ton) over 24.7 metres in LC529C; 6.51 g/t (0.190 oz/ton) over 41.8 metres, including 20.00 g/t (0.584 oz/ton) over 11.0 metres in LC515C; 8.48 g/t (0.248 oz/ton) over 20.3 metres in LC537C*; 5.75 g/t (0.168 oz/ton) over 29.0 metres, including 13.54 g/t (0.395 oz/ton) over 9.1 metres in LC518. 4.72 g/t (0.138 oz/ton) over 24.4 metres, including 14.32 g/t (0.418 oz/ton) over 2.7 metres in LC506C. *Hole abandoned in mineralization due to poor ground conditions. Assays from successful re-drill pending. In addition, new results indicate the deposit’s growth potential to the southwest. Drilling 300 metres to the southwest of the resource area along trend returned several shallow intercepts, including: 3.10 g/t (0.091 oz/ton) over 9.1 metres and 1.66 g/t (0.049 oz/ton) over 16.8 metres in LC560. The deposit is now 2.7 -km long and remains open for expansion.
