Operational Update

For immediate release 8 January 2015

FRONTIER RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL PLC

("Frontier" or the "Company")

Operational Update

The Board of Frontier (AIM: FRI), the onshore oil and gas explorer with assets in Oman, Zambia and Namibia is pleased to provide shareholders with the following operational update on its activities in the Sultanate of Oman and Zambia.

Highlights

· Large structure identified in Oman that may be suitable for drilling without further seismic work

· Discussions with potential partners in Oman Block 38 continue

· Extension submitted for Zambian License

Oman

Frontier's 100% owned Block 38 (the "Block") is located in the Rub Al Khali Basin in southwest Oman and covers a surface area of approximately 17,425 square kilometers. An Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement ("EPSA") was signed on 25 November 2012. Frontier is the operator.

While the interpretation of available legacy 2D seismic data, both original and re-processed, continues, the Company has now identified several leads, one of which may have sufficient seismic coverage to be considered suitable for drilling.

As announced by the Company on 28 October 2014, Frontier is also actively engaged in seeking industry partners to participate in Oman Block 38 and there has been a good response to date from potentially interested parties. Discussions are continuing and a further update will be provided in due course.

Zambia

The Company has filed for an extension to its Exploration License in Zambia which was granted for an initial four year term on 25 March 2011.

The Company currently has three exploration projects in Oman, Zambia and Namibia.

Frontier's immediate objectives are to continue developing its core exploration projects towards first production particularly in Oman where the Company's knowledge base is most advanced because of the proximity to producing oil and gas fields and the availability of existing seismic and well data.
