PETROFRONTIER CORP. PROVIDES UPDATE Calgary, Alberta, January 9, 2017 - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") (TSX-V: PFC) is pleased to announce that it has now spudded the first of up to four wells that will form part of the next phase of its development program in the Cold Lake area of Alberta. Because of delays in obtaining the required drilling licenses and the increased costs of drilling over the holiday season, the drilling of these wells was deferred to early 2017.

PetroFrontier also announces that its reconstructed website (www.petrofrontier.com) with a new corporate presentation is now online.
