VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 13, 2010 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- Fronteer (CA:FRG 5.84, +0.04, +0.69%) (FRG 5.86, +0.08, +1.38%) announces that additional assay results from the Halilaga project in northwestern Turkey continue to demonstrate significant widths of gold-copper mineralization including near surface supergene enrichment.

Halilaga provides Fronteer with excellent exposure to an exciting copper-gold project in an emerging mineral district with excellent infrastructure.

Teck Resources Limited's Turkish subsidiary, ("TMST"), Fronteer's 60% joint venture partner and project operator, provided additional results from its recently completed winter drill program, which focused on Halilaga's Central Zone. Mineralization at this zone has only been defined by approximately two dozen holes and remains open in almost all directions including at depth.

To date, copper-gold mineralization has been outlined over a strike length of 1,200 metres and a width of 400 metres, with thicknesses ranging up to 400 metres. An important component of this deposit is the occurrence of a higher-grade enrichment zone starting at, or near surface, and which locally reaches up to 40 metres in thickness.

Drill highlights from new assays include:

- 0.34 grams per tonne gold and 0.30% copper over 308.1 metres, including 0.67 g/t gold and 0.51% copper over 11.0 metres, in HD-45;

- 0.32 g/t gold and 0.31% copper over 285.5 metres, including 0.86 g/t gold and 0.56% copper over 13.5 metres, in HD-49; and

- 0.40 g/t gold and 0.25% copper over 141 metres, including 0.65 g/t gold and 0.46% copper over 19.4 metres, in HD-42D.

A $2.7 million drill program, funded 60%/40% by TMST and Fronteer, is planned for 2010 with a focus on expanding the footprint of the Central Zone. The program will include 10,000 metres of core drilling, with 8,500 metres of drilling planned for the Central Zone, and the remainder planned for porphyry targets outside this main zone. Drilling is expected to commence in June. Fronteer also anticipates completing the first resource estimate for the project by year-end.

All true widths are 80-90% of reported widths unless otherwise stated. All
intervals of no sampling have been assigned zero grade for the purposes of
compositing. Hole HD-42D was a re-drill of HD-42 which terminated
prematurely at 393.5m due to poor ground conditions.

Metallurgical work at Halilaga has also returned excellent initial results (see April 5, 2010 press release).

Halilaga is an excellent example of internal growth opportunities outside of our Nevada platform. Nevada, one of the world's best gold mining jurisdictions, is at the very heart of Fronteer's operations. Our gold development pipeline in Nevada includes our Long Canyon, Sandman and Northumberland projects. All three gold deposits have high-grade gold starting at- or near-surface, are open-pit mineable and have high-quality production attributes. We aim to build regional production by advancing these key gold projects sequentially over the near-term using existing cash resources.

Drill samples and analytical data for Halilaga are collected under the supervision of TMST, Fronteer's joint venture partner and project operator, using industry standard QA-QC protocols. Ian Cunningham-Dunlop P. Eng, Vice President Exploration for Fronteer, who is the QP responsible for compiling the data contained in this release, has not verified the data; however, the grades and widths reported here agree well with the Company's past results on the project and correspondence with TMST has given him no reason to doubt their authenticity. For further details on Halilaga, please view the NI 43-101 technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Halilaga Exploration Property, Canakkale, Western Turkey", dated March 30, 2009, prepared by Peter Grieve, of Geology and Resource Solutions Limited, on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com.
