DD starting on this today. I like to have a nice spread on these gold plays. Looks like the dollar is going to be toilet paper soon, so got to have a plan b.
This seems to mirror another stock I own. Same location. Humm. DD time!
Nice 20 day climb.
Fronteer grants option to International Enexco on Loomis gold property, Nevada
09-17
Fronteer Development Group Inc. (FRG – TSX/NYSE Amex) is pleased to announce that it has granted International Enexco Inc. (IEC – TSX-V) an option to earn a 51% interest in its 100% owned Loomis Mountain gold property in eastern Nevada.
Enexco may earn a 51% interest in Loomis by drilling a minimum of 11,000 metres (approximately $2.6M US) over 36 months and carrying out a minimum of $300,000 US in non-drilling related field programs, including geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys.
Loomis is located approximately 32 kilometres north of Wells, Nevada, and covers 15,570 acres of mostly private mineral rights. The geology of the area is analogous to Carlin Trend, displaying the same structural characteristics, host rocks and intrusive history. Widespread anomalous gold mineralization at Loomis occurs in a northeast-trending zone that outcrops over a distance of 1.7 kilometres. Rock-chip sampling has yielded up to 4.6 grams per tonne gold. Four target areas have been defined to date but have seen negligible drilling.
The property lies along the eastern edge of the Roberts Mountain Thrust, a key structural feature associated with Carlin-type gold deposits. Enexco plans to place initial efforts on structural mapping to further define drilling targets in the upper-plate and lower-plate rocks of the Roberts Mountain Thrust.
The Loomis option agreement increases Fronteer’s cost-effective exposure to exploration upside in the Eastern Great Basin, where it is a dominant land holder. A $14.1M US program, funded 51%/49% by Fronteer and minority owner AuEx Ventures, is currently underway at Long Canyon.

FRG went on a short-term buy signal today...
I dont get why its down at this level....uranium stocks will be huge soon enough
Current P&F forecast has a price objective of .90 for FRG. I don't belief it will get that cheap. What's your take dog?
Hard seeing FRG making any headway with the US$ in rally mode...probably will need a decisive close < 77.85 for FRG to rally...
Short-term low might have been put in this week. See daily charts in iBox...
This is turning up.
If we pass 6.5$ this will fly high again.
Interesting.
A decisive close over the previous swing high this month suggests the short-term turn will be in...
Is she turning?
This one has been beaten down pretty bad Frenchee
Looks like FRG is going to test its 52-week low this week...
Fronteer's Aurora Exceeds Annual Resource Target, Adds Four Projects
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/25/08 --
Fronteer Development Group Inc. ("Fronteer") (TSX: FRG)(AMEX: FRG) is pleased to report that Aurora Energy Resources Inc. ("Aurora") (TSX: AXU), in which Fronteer holds a 42.3% interest, announced that a new total resource estimate for its pipeline of six growing uranium deposits in coastal Labrador has produced:
- A Measured and Indicated resource of 83.9 million pounds of U3O8 (uranium); and
- An Inferred resource of 49.8 million pounds of U3O8.
Aurora's new uranium resource base has surpassed Aurora's annual target, increasing by 39% in just over 12 months. This new estimate is comprised of the Michelin Deposit (see recent press release of February 20, 2008), the Jacques Lake Deposit, and four newly estimated nearby satellite deposits called Rainbow, Nash, Inda, and Gear. Jacques Lake and the satellite deposits all have the potential for significant, Michelin-style growth and are located within 30 kilometres of Michelin.
"Our goal for 2007 was to deliver a resource of 130 million pounds," said Dr. Mark O'Dea, Aurora's President and CEO. "We have exceeded our resource target for the third consecutive year. More importantly, we have succeeded in demonstrating that Aurora's new uranium district hosts a true pipeline of projects that have major growth potential, which will help sustain a long life, world-class mining camp. We are moving to develop these important resources as efficiently as possible, using industry best practices in geology, engineering, metallurgy, environment and health and safety."
JACQUES LAKE DEPOSIT INCREASES BY 67%
The new resource estimate for the Jacques Lake Deposit ("Jacques Lake"), has led to an overall 67% increase in deposit size. While still open for significant expansion, Jacques Lake now has:
- A Measured and Indicated resource of 10.4 million pounds of U3O8; and
- An Inferred resource of 6.9 million pounds of U3O8.
Like Michelin, the characteristics of the Jacques Lake mineralization are well understood and similar to the Michelin mineralization. Jacques Lake mineralization lends itself to standard crushing and grinding technology and traditional leach processing. Similarly, the host rocks at Jacques Lake are competent, making them amenable to both open pit and conventional underground mining techniques. Like Michelin, there are no groundwater, metallurgical or rock mechanic issues identified to date.
FOUR SATELLITE DEPOSITS TAKE SHAPE
While the Michelin and Jacques Lake deposits are clearly the backbone of the district, Aurora's drilling programs have further defined four satellite deposits, each with the potential to become significant resources in their own right. The Rainbow, Nash, Inda and Gear deposits have been significantly expanded and now cumulatively have:
- An Indicated resource of 6.1 million pounds of U3O8; and
- An Inferred resource of 7.4 million pounds of U3O8.
Of particular note, the Inda Deposit today is nearly as large as the Jacques Lake Deposit was 12 months ago. It is important to stress that all four of these satellite deposits are still at a very early stage of deposit delineation and have significant growth potential.

(i) Aurora's CMB Mineral Resources are reported at cut-off grades that
contemplate underground (0.05% U3O8) and open pit (0.03% U3O8) mining
scenarios, based on preliminary economic assumptions, and may be
refined with more in-depth economic analyses.
2008 WORK PROGRAM
Aurora is continuing to advance the Project through its comprehensive development program. A detailed work program for the balance of 2008 is scheduled to be announced by Aurora within the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, Aurora is carrying out a 20,000 metre, seven rig, two-month winter program of in-fill, confirmation, and geotechnical drilling on both the Michelin and Jacques Lake deposits and is continuing with ongoing engineering studies designed to move the project towards development.
Aurora is scheduled to submit its Project Registration to government authorities in the second quarter of 2008 to initiate the Environmental Assessment process for the Michelin Project (which includes the Michelin and Jacques Lake deposits). The Project Registration is the beginning of an extensive environmental assessment process under the federal, provincial and Nunatsiavut governments.
Christopher Lee, P. Geo, Chief Geoscientist for Aurora, is the designated Qualified Person for the CMB resource estimates. All estimates were conducted using 3D geological solids defined by a combination of stratigraphy, alteration and grade, and hand-digitized on 25-50 metre cross-sections in Gemcom software. Assay composites were generated from capped U3O8 grades within these solids and used to interpolate grades into 3D block models, using either ordinary kriging (Michelin, Jacques Lake) or anisotropic inverse distance squared weighting (Rainbow, Gear, Inda, Nash). Optimum search parameters (ranges, orientations, number of samples) were chosen to reflect modeled or interpreted grade continuity, low and high grade populations, and sample density. A single mean specific gravity, as measured from 22 to 329 samples of mineralized rock, was used for each deposit. Mineral resources for the satellite deposits (Rainbow, Gear, Inda, Nash) are reported for only those blocks located less than 300 metres from surface. Blocks were classified into Measured, Indicated and Inferred mineral resource categories using a combination of the number drill holes, average distance of samples used in each block estimate, and geological confidence. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves, and there is no guarantee that any resource will become a reserve.
Assay results have been prepared under the guidance of Mr. Ian Cunningham-Dunlop P. Eng, Exploration Vice-President for Aurora, who is designated as a Qualified Person with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity of and validity of this data. Drill core was prepared and analyzed in accordance with industry standards by Activation Laboratories Ltd, Ancaster, Ontario.
At last, FRG announced it!!!! Two widely spaced drill holes from Hoover property in the Yukon.
It seems that FRG started to see the sun in the sky after some gloomy days. Does anybody know what has happened?
Hey...hey...hey... great news for Fronteer!
Fronteer Finds Gold Deposits in Nevada
posted on: January 08, 2008 | about stocks: FRG Print Email
Happy New Year! And there is plenty of reason to be happy with gold posting a 31% gain in 2007, and an explosive start to 2008. While many analysts were calling $800 gold overbought or even an end to the gold bull market, we correctly forecasted that gold would pause momentarily, and then continue higher. On December 5th, I wrote “there is a strong likelihood that gold will find support at $800 over the next few weeks and enter into the second phase of this upleg.” Gold proceeded to reach new highs, adding $65 or 8% in the following weeks. Hopefully you added to positions and enjoyed the ride. I will be posting a detailed 2008 Gold Forecast in the coming days, but wanted to alert my readers to news from one of my favorite exploration companies - Fronteer Development.
Fronteer Development Group (FRG), who we first profiled back in January of 2007, announced that it has intersected high-grade gold mineralization at its Long Canyon property in Nevada. The company reported 0.88 ounces per ton gold (30.10 grams per tonne) over a true thickness of 23 feet (7.0 metres), within a broader zone that returned 0.39 ounces per ton gold (13.40 grams per tonne) over a true thickness of 75 feet (22.9 metres). These drill results are a significant improvement over initial results that were closer to 3 grams per tonne.
Fronteer President and CEO Mark O’Dea said:
Long Canyon defines a totally new gold trend in Nevada and ranks as one of the most significant greenfield discoveries made in the state in the last several years. This emerging deposit shows encouraging grade and tonnage potential and remains open for expansion in all directions.”
Investors responded by driving up the price of Fronteer stock by nearly 7% on more than double the average trading volume. What is more impressive is that the gain occurred on a day when most mining stocks were down 2-5%. At $10 per share, Fronteer could gain 50% on a run back to its 2007 high of $15.
We are very bullish on both gold and uranium for 2008 and think Fronteer, with an impressive portfolio of exploration projects, could be a takeover target for one of the majors. While the company's net loss has increased as a result of an aggressive exploration program, it still has $100 million in cash on hand, and recently acquired Newwest Gold Corporation and 19 new precious metals exploration properties in Nevada.
I have traded in and out of Fronteer over the past few years, buying on dips below $10. I took a new position on Monday at just under $10, and expect Fronteer to make a new highs this year. As always, perform your own due diligence on Fronteer as you are solely responsible for your investment decisions. Best of luck in 2008!
perfmonace growing...resource growing...it seems i have put my foot in the right place or maybe somebody is of a different opinion? waiting for your comments...
fronteer is to bubble up...nowhere else just up..
so much excited and happy about my stock...
Halilaga Copper-Gold Project to Nearly Double Exploration Program for 2008
December 19, 2007 10:59 a.m.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 19, 2007) - Fronteer Development Group Inc. ("Fronteer" or the "Company") (TSX:FRG)(AMEX:FRG) announced today that Teck Cominco Limited's Turkish subsidiary ("TCAM") has agreed to solely fund US$3 million in exploration at the Halilaga porphyry copper-gold deposit in northwestern Turkey. In turn, TCAM has been granted an extension to December 31, 2008 on its election whether to earn an additional 10% interest in the property.
The 2008 exploration program will nearly double last year's initial drill program at Halilaga from 6,000 metres to a target of 11,000 metres. The program will focus on grid drilling the known porphyry deposit and testing adjacent target areas.
"Our new agreement with TCAM continues exploration momentum on this exciting new copper-gold discovery, allowing additional data to be collected to fully test the limits of this project," says Fronteer President and CEO Mark O'Dea. "Halilaga has excellent infrastructure. It is situated at 400 metres elevation, accessible by road, on the power grid and has access to water."
At Halilaga's Central Zone (also known as the Kestane Zone), a combination of geochemistry, geophysics and diamond drilling has outlined robust near-surface copper-gold porphyry mineralization that spans an area 1,000 metres by 400 metres and shows a variable but apparent vertical dimension thus far of more than 250 metres.
TCAM and Fronteer are encouraged by multiple targets on the Halilaga property which have similar geochemical and geophysical signatures as the Central Zone. These additional targets have yet to be drill-tested. One target shows anomalous copper-gold geochemistry at surface, over an area approximately four times as large as the Central Zone.
As of Sept. 19, TCAM has earned-back a 60% interest in Fronteer's Halilaga copper-gold project, and the Agi Dagi and Kirazli gold deposits. The three projects are located along the same 30-km long mineral belt in northwestern Turkey.
To earn the additional 10% interest in Halilaga, TCAM must notify Fronteer before Dec. 31, 2008, that it intends to complete a feasibility study within four years of the notification date. If a production decision is made, TCAM will use its best efforts to arrange project debt financing for at least 60% of the capital costs and offer to loan Fronteer the remaining equity component of project financing at commercial lending rates. If TCAM fails to complete a feasibility study within four years from the notification date, its ownership percentage in Halilaga will remain at 60%.
TCAM and Fronteer will invest approximately C$600,000 in exploration at Kirazli and C$500,000 at Agi Dagi during 2008. TCAM has notified Fronteer that it will remain at a 60% interest in Kirazli and Agi Dagi.

LIQUIDITY
Fronteer is not invested in any short term commercial paper or asset-backed securities. The Company has approximately C$98.5 million in cash that is fully liquid and held with a large commercial bank.
The long shadow on today's candlestick is hinting the short-term bottom is near. What's your take on FRG Guru?
FRG in short-term correction mode. Could be a good buying opportunity next week...
FRG is looking tired and in need of a consolidation. Time to tighten up the stops if you are long.
Fronteer's Aurora Expands Jacques Lake Uranium Deposit
11:15a ET August 30, 2007 (Market Wire)
Fronteer Development Group Inc. ("Fronteer") (TSX: FRG)(AMEX: FRG) is pleased to report that Aurora Energy Resources Inc. ("Aurora") (TSX: AXU), in which Fronteer holds a 46.8% interest, has announced that eight new drill holes have all intersected uranium mineralization, expanding the size of Aurora's 100%-owned Jacques Lake Deposit ("Jacques Lake") by at least 100 metres to the southwest.
The new holes are part of an ongoing drilling program focused on Aurora's assets in the Central Mineral Belt of Coastal Labrador. Jacques Lake is one of the very few significant uranium discoveries made anywhere in the past 10 years -- highlighting the continuing growth and vast discovery potential of this important uranium district.
Mineralization at Jacques Lake starts at surface and has been traced to a depth of 235 metres. The deposit has a drilled strike length of over 600 metres and remains open for further expansion to the southwest and at depth.
New drilling highlights include:

JACQUES LAKE RESOURCE
Based on 2006 drilling results, the Jacques Lake deposit contains 5.4 million pounds U3O8 measured & indicated and 5.0 million pounds U3O8 inferred.
An updated resource statement for Jacques Lake will be forthcoming later in the year pending further drilling results.
The Jacques Lake drilling program is part of a larger overall program at Aurora's numerous targets in Coastal Labrador. Aurora is planning to operate year-round exploration with two fully winterized camps. The current exploration program will continue until the end of the year, which will then be followed by a winter campaign of extensive in-fill and delineation drilling. The current drill program has a target of 75,000 metres, consisting of up to nine drill rigs, with a C$21 million budget.
LIQUIDITY
Fronteer is not invested in any short term commercial paper or asset-backed securities. The Company has approximately C$102 million in cash that is fully liquid and held with a large commercial bank.
ABOUT FRONTEER
Fronteer is an exploration and development company with a track record of making big discoveries. Fronteer will have exposure to approximately C$42 million in exploration/development expenditures and 130,000 metres of drilling throughout 2007. Fronteer has approximately C$102 million in cash, no debt, and holds approximately a 46.8% interest in Aurora Energy Resources (TSX: AXU), a leading Canadian uranium company.
Assay results have been prepared under the guidance of Mr. Ian Cunningham-Dunlop P.Eng, Exploration Vice-President for Aurora Energy Resources Inc., who is designated as a Qualified Person with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity of and validity of this data. Drill core was prepared and analyzed in accordance with industry standards by Activation Laboratories Ltd, Ancaster, Ontario. The Independent Qualified Person responsible for the above resource estimates is Gary Giroux, P. Eng. Of Giroux Consultants Ltd. A Technical Report prepared to NI43-101 requirements will be lodged within 30 days of this release.
In addition to the Michelin and Jacques Lake Uranium Deposits, the portfolio of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. also contains four other occurrences known as Gear, Nash, Inda and Rainbow. The historical estimates for these occurrences along with the historic estimates for the neighboring Kitts Deposit within the Exempt Mineral Land are documented in the Mineral Occurrence Data System (MODS), a website sponsored by the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador, and are stated to be based upon reports and references dated between 1967 and 1984 (none of which are available to the Corporation). Accordingly, these estimates are historical in nature and do not meet the definition of Mineral Resources as contained in National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Furthermore, neither the Corporation nor the Qualified Person have reviewed any of the reports or exploration results underlying such estimates and accordingly, such estimates (and any assumptions underlying such estimates) have not been independently verified. As a result, there can be no assurance that such historic estimates are reliable, or that such estimates are indicative of any mineralization which would meet the criteria of Mineral Resources as defined in accordance with National Instrument NI 43-101. Consequently, no reliance should not be placed upon these historical estimates. However, the Corporation believes that these historical estimates may be indicative of the potential for mineralization on these properties.
Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein, certain information presented constitutes "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, those with respect to the timing and amount of estimated future resources and resource conversion rates, potential for expansion of resources and potential size of future exploration programs and potential timing of receipt of permits and classification of future mineral resources, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of Aurora to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations, uncertainty in the estimation of mineral resources, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, future prices of uranium, environmental risks and hazards, increased infrastructure and/or operating costs, labor and employment matters, and government regulation as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Aurora's Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com . Although Aurora has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Aurora disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Fronteer jumps on more news...more gold...
11/09/06
Fronteer Development Group Inc. ("Fronteer") (TSX: FRG)(AMEX: FRG) is pleased to announce that the first round of drilling on its new Pirentepe Gold Project, in northwestern Turkey, has intersected thick intervals of near surface gold mineralization with encouraging grades in two out of four holes for which results have been received.
Pirentepe forms part of the center of a 20-kilometre-long emerging gold district, which is underpinned by Fronteer's 100% owned Kirazli deposit to the northwest and its 100% owned Agi Dagi deposit to the southeast. Collectively these deposits have a current resource base of 461,000 indicated ounces of gold and 1,606,000 inferred ounces of gold.
Pirentepe is characterized by a three kilometre long and 700 metre wide zone of anomalous gold in soils associated with many of the telltale geological signatures shared by the Kirazli and Agi Dagi deposits.
Drilling highlights from Pirentepe include:
1. PD-01 intersected 1.79 grams per tonne gold over 46.90 metres, starting at 17 metres depth. The hole ended in high-grade gold mineralization.
2. PD-02 (a confirmatory hole of MTA hole MJTC-2) intersected 1.83 grams per tonne gold over 38.0 metres also starting at 17 metres.
"These exciting results confirm that Pirentepe has the potential to provide the next step change in the gold resource potential of this evolving district," says Dr. Mark O'Dea, Fronteer's President and CEO. "Our early success at Pirentepe strongly reinforces our belief that this area has the potential to host multiple near surface gold deposits."
Two other holes (PD-03 to 04) tested additional targets on the Pirentepe project and returned no significant results. Ongoing drilling is currently underway in the vicinity of PD-01 and PD-02 as part of an initial 1,000-metre drill program, with follow up drilling planned for 2007.
At this point in time, Fronteer has insufficient information to ascertain true widths.
Halilaga, a second project, is located within four kilometres of Pirentepe, and will be the focus for drilling in the next few weeks. Sample results from Halilaga include gold values of up to 2.3 grams per tonne, silver values of up to 90.8 grams per tonne, and copper values of up to 0.30%. In one area on the property, Fronteer collected 40 rock chip samples at one of its target areas, 19 of which returned gold values greater than 1.0 grams per tonne.
Pirentepe and Halilaga are currently under option from Teck Cominco Limited's Turkish subsidiary (TCAM). Fronteer may earn a 100% interest in these properties subject to a back-in right to TCAM. TCAM is currently earning-back into the Agi Dagi and Kirazli properties.
ABOUT FRONTEER
Fronteer is a rapidly evolving company committed to building long term value through ongoing discoveries, and strategic acquisitions. Fronteer currently has 10 drill rigs operating in Turkey on four gold projects, one drill rig operating in Mexico on two gold-silver projects. Fronteer also has a prominent foothold in an emerging uranium-copper-gold district in the northern Yukon where it has just completed an extensive exploration program. Fronteer holds a 47.25% interest in Aurora Energy Resources (TSX: AXU), which has a current market capitalization of approximately CDN$861 million. Fronteer has a strong balance sheet with approximately CDN$43 million in cash and short term investments.
Assay results have been prepared under the guidance of Mr. Ian Cunningham-Dunlop P.Eng, who is designated as a Qualified Person with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity of and validity of this data. All samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex, Perth, WA, Australia, using ICP-AES and fire assay.

New High Grade Discovery In The Yukon Returns 99 Grams Per Tonne Gold And 0.57% U3O8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fronteer is pleased to report the discovery of a large new drill ready, high grade gold-uranium-copper zone in the Wernecke Mountains of north central Yukon. This new target area, called Thunder Mountain, is extremely unique in that it has yielded some of the highest grade gold results ever found with uranium in north central Yukon.
Thunder Mountain is one of four drill-ready target areas that have emerged from Fronteer's recent three month exploration program on its 400 square kilometer land package, where attention has been focused on the discovery of "Olympic Dam-style" copper-gold-uranium deposits.
Results from new target areas will be released sequentially as assay results are received and compiled.
THUNDER MOUNTAIN GOLD-URANIUM-COPPER PROPERTY
Thunder Mountain is a new discovery in which bonanza grade gold-uranium-copper mineralization occurs over an interpreted source area measuring at least 550 metres by 400 metres. Surface sampling highlights are as follows:
99.2 grams per tonne gold (2.9 oz/ton), 0.57% U3O8 and 5.1 grams per tonne silver taken from locally derived subcrop less than ten metres from its interpreted source.
95.0 grams per tonne gold (2.8 oz/ton), 0.68% U3O8 and 6.7 grams per tonne silver, taken from a subcropping locally derived boulder.
20 grams per tonne gold (0.6 oz/ton), 0.17% U3O8 and 2.8 grams per tonne silver taken from two subcropping boulders located several metres away from the high grade gold samples above.
12.65% copper, 12.6 grams per tonne silver and 0.27 grams per tonne gold, from a boulder sample in a creek downstream from the interpreted source area.
6.88% copper, 13.0 grams per tonne silver and 1.1 grams per tonne gold taken from a boulder sample adjacent to its interpreted source.
Super news out today on a huge bonanza find!
Hello j,new buy reco by JD.
The screaming uptrend in uraniums will continue shortly!!!!!!

Uranium has ran pretty hard in the first half of the year. It may be time for a breather. Should be a good time to accumulate.
I'm interested in Uranium juniors and other microcap stocks.
Hallo again,what is your investment horizon?
I suppose i can reco.some good reading material depending on the aforementioned question.
I wii be out whole next week,returning on 6.Aug
You have a nice week
Cheers
Thanks! Are they are any other good services you would recommend?
