GUYANA FRONTIER REPORTS DRILLING RESULTS FROM FAVOURABLE LAKE PROJECT
Guyana Frontier Mining Corp. has released the results of a diamond drilling program on the Borland Lake
target area at the Favourable Lake project in Ontario, Canada. The
Favourable Lake project, located approximately 200 kilometres north of
Red Lake, Ont., is a joint venture between Guyana Frontier, which
holds a 70.3-per-cent interest, and Gold Canyon Resources Inc., which holds a
29.7-per-cent interest.
The 2011 drilling program successfully achieved the objective of testing
a historical silver mineralized zone, last drilled by a previous
operator in 1987. Two holes totalling 236 metres were completed from the
ice of Borland Lake, targeting the location of the mineralized zone as
interpreted from filed assessment reports, and from the interpreted
results of Guyana Frontier's 2008 Titan 24 geophysical survey.

Cut-offs for averaged samples were 10.0 grams per tonne silver, or in the absence of
significant silver values, 0.5 gram per tonne gold. The values reported herein reflect
reassaying with assay standards certified for the range of gold values reported in hole
B-11-02.
Hole B-11-01 encountered silver, gold, lead and zinc mineralized veinlets,
disseminated sulphides and breccias from 76.8 metres to 90.8 metres within
siliceous metagreywacke and quartzite rocks, and in two other
mineralized intervals between 92.1 and 108.9 metres downhole. Sulphides
containing argentite (a silver-bearing halide mineral) were noted in
the core, with accompanying sphalerite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. The
estimated true width of the mineralized interval was 7.7 metres (25.26
feet), which averaged 291 grams per tonne (8.49 ounces per ton) silver,
including 365 grams per tonne (10.65 ounces per ton) silver over 6.08 metres (19.94
feet). Minor values of gold, lead and zinc were also encountered.
Hole B-11-02 was collared approximately 84 metres from hole B-11-01 and intersected
mineralized zones at downhole depths of 23.8 metres to 64.5 metres, and from
67.7 metres to 73.7 metres. Mineralization was again observed within siliceous
metagreywacke and quartzite rocks with notably higher silver and gold
values than were seen in B-11-01, averaging 99 grams per tonne (2.89
ounces per ton) silver and 1.03 grams per tonne gold over an estimated true width
of 30.53 metres (100.14 feet), which included 285 grams per tonne (8.3
ounces per ton) silver and 1.63 grams per tonne (0.05 ounce per ton) gold over 8.53 metres
(27.98 feet), and 438 grams per tonne (12.78 ounces per ton) silver and 2.99
grams per tonne gold (0.09 ounce per ton) over 4.6 metres (15.1 feet). Pegmatites
were observed cutting through the mineralized zones, from 64.5 metres to 66.24
metres, for example.
A review of the results and re-examination of the 2011 drill core have
prompted Guyana Frontier to complete additional sampling to potentially
extend the intervals of mineralized material. The results from this
additional sampling will be reported when available. Guyana Frontier is
also testing selected core samples from the 2011 drilling program for
bulk resistivity/conductivity response to better interpret the results
of the 2008 Titan 24 geophysical survey. The integration of
geophysical and geological information gained in the last three years
is expected to generate high-priority drill targets for the 2012 winter
exploration season.
Analytical methods
Core samples were collected by diamond saw cutting and transmitted in
secure custody to Activation Laboratories Ltd.'s preparation facility
in Red Lake, Ont. They were subject to fire assay preconcentration
and AA finish to determine gold concentrations, gravimetric finish to
confirm gold values exceeding 1,000 parts per billion and silver values
exceeding 100 parts per million, total (four-acid) digestion and assay for lead,
zinc, and copper followed by ICP analysis for a suite of 36 elements.
