Commentary
Frontline’s President and CEO, Mr. Walter Henry, said, “The two Chukuni claims staked are an excellent addition to the Company’s current Chukuni Project given the strategic location of the Chukuni Project in the Red Lake Gold District and being directly contiguous to Goldcorp’s Red Lake Property both on northern and eastern property boundaries of the Chukuni property boundaries.
The Chukuni Project combined with the acquisition of the exploration projects adjoining Pure Gold’s Madsen mine to the east and the south, provides the Company with one of the largest exploration land packages within the Red Lake District totaling just under 9,400 acres.
This land package combined with the Company’s White Horse Island Project, situated between the Goldcorp / Premier Gold Rahill-Bonanza Gold Property and Premier Gold’s Hasaga Gold Property (see attached map) provides the Company with several early stage exploration projects within the Red Lake District.”
