Commentary

Mr. Walter Henry, President and CEO of Frontline commented, "This is a marquee funding transaction for Frontline. Given the current difficulties of raising equity in the junior mining sector Frontline is very fortunate to have secured this Loan. Given Frontline's balance sheet signing an unsecured loan with 1) no debt or working capital covenants, and 2) a six-month principal and interest holiday is an excellent opportunity to fund and expedite work at Kambertepe and Keban. With both projects being fully permitted for exploitation, Frontline is in an excellent position realize revenue from Kambertepe within the next 60 days. Additionally, with the signed transportation agreements and based on the current negotiations, including concessions, on the processing agreements, we created an opportunity to generate revenue in the very near term."

"As previously noted the revenue from the tailings projects will enable us to: 1) organically advance our other projects in Turkey, Mali and Red Lake; 2) allow Frontline to capitalize on other strategic acquisitions; and 3) seek opportunities and regulatory approvals to restructure Frontline's capital structure."

Highlights of the Loan:

1. Will be unsecured and no debt or working capital covenants.
2. Will be fully advanced by April 30, 2016 and will be for a term of 18 months. Will bear interest at the rate of 12%, payable monthly in arrears. FGC shall start repaying the Loan at the end of November 2016, by way of 12 monthly payments.
3. FGC will pay to the Investors 2% of the net proceeds (calculated as gross revenue less excavating and transportation costs and processing costs), received from the Keban and Kambertepe tailings projects in Turkey.

Prossessing Agreements

Negotiations on the processing agreements continues with a number of experienced processing companies within the region of Elazig, Turkey. Frontline is confident that the agreements will be executed within the next two-weeks. Based on current discussions, these agreements will include processing concessions, payment holidays, and reductions in processing rates in exchange for meeting certain processing volumes and giving up rights to certain residual tailings from Kambertepe and Keban.

Keban Tailings Project

Located approximately 45 km northwest from the city of Elazig, via paved highway, which is fully permitted, which includes the exclusive rights to process a minimum 114,000 tonnes of mineralized milled tailings stored in two areas within the property boundary. The regional government of Elazig retains the responsibility for remediation of this site.

An independent comprehensive report, including a metallurgical assessment of the mineralized tailings, was completed by Dr. Sasmaz, Phd, Geologist, Firat University, dated June 2015. Per the report, 40 assay samples were collected at Keban and assays completed, for 34 element ICP - MS analysis, by Bureau Vertias Mineral Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada on behalf of the Firat University in Elazig. According to the Bureau Vertias assayed analysis, the Firat University report of June 2015 noted that all the assays averaged Au 1.78 g/t, Ag 96 g/t, Pb 2.94%/t and Zn 0.63%/t.

Kambertepe Tailings Project

Located approximately 100 km east from the city of Elazig, via paved highway, includes the exclusive rights to process approximately up to 6,000 tonnes of mineralized tailings, with the following average reported grades per tonne of tailings: 2.1% Copper, 21 g/t Silver, 1.9% Zinc, 0.5% Titanium and over 50% Iron, as noted from a Firat University report on the project dated March 15th, 2016.

Frontline did not complete the work required to verify the historical mining estimates noted above and is not treating these historical estimates as being compliant with current standards under NI 43-101 and as such these historical estimates should not be relied upon. Caution should be used when evaluating these resources as they were calculated prior to NI 43-101 existing and a qualified person has not done work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.

Frontline continues to actively seek additional investor/partner(s) in order to continue to expedite the full tailings and contained metal recovery at both the Keban and Kambertepe tailings projects. To contact Frontline, please call Walter Henry at 416-414-5825 or visit the company's website.
