Commentary

"We very pleased to have completed the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Menderes Property, which continues to have excellent exploration potential as demonstrated by Eldorado's recent announcements of its successful exploration drilling at its Efemcukuru Gold Mine adjacent to the Menderes property," said President and CEO, Walter Henry. "Our technical team believes that the exploration drilling completed to date by Eldorado on its Kokarpinar vein structure, immediately to the west of our property, indicates the potential of Frontline's Menderes project to host a significant epithermal gold environment."
