Filing of Q1 2015 Financial Statements and MD&A
The Company also announces the filing of its Q1 2015 Financial Statements and MD&A which include details on the recently announced Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") on Zandkopsdrift, the Company's other exploration activities and corporate strategic initiatives. As previously reported, the Company has been undertaking a strategic review of its activities due to, inter alia, the ongoing poor performance of the listed junior mining sector, the poor market rating of companies in the rare earths sector, including Frontier, the outlook for the rare earths market and conditions in the overall equity and debt capital markets. This review, which will take into consideration the market response to the recently announced PFS, is expected to be completed in Q2 and will then be considered by the Board of Frontier. In the absence of a marked improvement in the rare earths sector, junior mining sector and overall equity capital markets in the coming months, it is considered likely that the Board of Frontier will recommend to shareholders that a new strategic direction be pursued with the objective of maximising the value of the Company's assets for shareholders. Further details are available in the Q1 2015 Financial Statements and MD&A. These and other regulatory filings are available on the Company website and on Sedar.
