Frontline Gold Corporation announced that rock sampling results have been received from the 2022 field program on its Epworth Property (`the Property'), Nunavut. Fifty-seven rock samples were collected, mainly along the Metallic Trend outlined in 2021 and its strike extension to the north and south. The Metallic Trend consists of locally high-grade Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization and strongly anomalous Au & Co mineralization over a strike length of 1.15 km.

Some sampling was also carried out at the historical Puppet and DD North Showings. Additional sampling along the Metallic Trend in 2022 yielded results of up to: 8.59% Cu & 884 ppb Au (with 0.18% Zn, 0.1% Co, 876 ppm As & 692 ppm V), from dolomite with red cherty fragments and stringers of possible chalcocite, chalcopyrite and pyrite and several % malachite staining. These were the highest Cu, Au & V grades of the 2022 program; 27.4% Zn (with 5.37% Pb, 0.22% Cu, 218 ppm Co, 66 ppm Ag, 404 ppm Cd & 5.64 ppm Ge) at the south end of the Metallic Trend from large dolomite felsenmeer.

This was the highest Zn grade of both the 2021 and 2022 programs. The previous highest grade was 19.2% Zn at the north end of the Metallic Trend. Cd, Ge and V are common accessory elements in sediment-hosted Zn-Pb-(Cu) deposits; 16.7% Pb & 71.4 ppm Ag (with 8.26% Zn), also at the south end of the Metallic Trend, from a sample described as white dolomite with minor contorted red chert bands and 10% galena from frost heave. Possible dissolution collapse breccia was noted here.

This was the highest Pb value obtained along the Metallic Trend from both the 2021 and 2022 programs; 1420 ppm Co & 7190 ppm As (with 1.31% Cu, 532 ppm Pb, 296 ppm Zn & 63 ppb Au) from an additional sample at the Metallic Showing, described as white-grey dolomite with malachite and azurite staining, pyrite, galena and sphalerite. Sampling up to 175 m north of the north end of the Metallic Trend yielded Cu-in-rock anomalies up to 0.15%. Sampling up to 1.5 km south of the south end of the Metallic Trend yielded anomalies in rock up to 0.61% Cu, 0.75% Zn, 0.46% Pb and 201 ppm Co.
