FML Kazakhstan LLP ("FMLK") has of today, shipped Dore containing 289 ounces Gold (Au) and 1,890 ounces Silver (Ag) to Metalor A.G. in Switzerland.

This consists of 113 ounces of gold and 341 ounces of silver from Koskuduk ore with the balance being from 2009 Naimanjal stockpiles. All Dore was produced at the Koskuduk production facility.

To build the plant and achieve gold production within six months, during one of the harshest winters in recent times, is an exceptional performance and also reinforces management's decision to reevaluate the Company's strategy and shift focus from Naimanjal to Koskuduk."

Frontier also has a potential copper porphyry deposit with associated gold and molybdenum, Baitimir; and several copper/gold prospects along a 25-km trend including both VMS and porphyry types. Metallurgical tests on its Beschoku and Yubileiny copper projects confirm the oxide copper ore is amenable to extraction using low cost SX-EW technology.

Frontier owns a 50% interest in KazCopper LLP, the joint venture company that owns the Benkala copper-molybdenum-gold deposit located in north-western Kazakhstan within the Urals gold/copper ore belt.

A Competent Persons Report ("CPR") valuation report on the oxide section of the Benkala project completed by Wardell Armstrong International ("WAI") in June 2010 has resulted in an NPV of $190 million based on 0.5% diluted copper grade, 63% recovery and 185 000 ton of contained metal and 6,000 USD per tonne copper price. The oxide copper project represents development of approximately 10% of the total resource at Benkala and Frontier will use the production platform of the SX-EW project to finance further evaluation and technical studies required to advancedevelopment of the significant Benkala sulphide resource.
