Frontera Resources announces hydrocarbon discovery in Georgia

Frontera Resources, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, has announced a discovery in a new, undeveloped extension of the Mirzaani Field within its Shallow Fields Production Unit in Block 12 in Georgia.

Drilling operations at the Mirzaani-2 well have recently been completed in an undeveloped area of the Mirzaani Field known as Mirzaani Field Northwest.

The well encountered multiple hydrocarbon bearing intervals within an extension of the field that had been identified as undeveloped based on new field mapping that was completed in 2008.

The new discovery is expected to open for future drilling an undrilled area of the field that Frontera estimates to contain potentially significant volumes of recoverable oil reserves within multiple reservoir intervals situated at depths between 800m and 1,300m. Production testing of the well is expected to commence within the next two weeks.

The Mirzaani-2 well is expected to not only increase production, but will also serve to improve understanding of the potentially extensive prospectivity associated with Mirzaani Field Northwest.

In addition, the discovery well is expected to provide the basis for commencement of a feasibility study for a new drilling campaign within the Mirzaani Field that would be designed to deepen existing wells in order to efficiently develop similar undrilled horizons.

The Mirzaani-2 well is currently undergoing preparations to commence production testing of four reservoir intervals that were encountered within the well.

goergia EIA Does Not Evaluate Cumulative CO2 Emissions

Though definitions of environmental impacts are provided in the EIA, one crucial and obvious point is omitted. The project as a whole will have a significant and international impact because it will contribute a large quantity of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Picking apart the details of the project and categorizing each small part as having small or large impacts neglects the larger picture, which DOES have a global impact.

The Frontera Resources Project utilises three oil fields. The Georgian oil field is expected to yield a minimum of 230 million barrels of oil and the K+K fields in Azerbaijan are expected to yield a minimum of 220 million barrels of oil. A total of 192 million tonnes of CO2 emissions will be released from the oil extracted from these fields. Nowhere in the EIA is there a calculation of these figures, even though CO2 is one of the major greenhouse gases and this quantity of emissions will contribute significantly to global warming. (It should be noted that the EBRD claims that it is committed to reducing GHG emissions yet it is providing a 60 million USD loan for this project which will compound the global warming problem

Liz Williamson, Vice President of Frontera Resources Corp. said that the firm is looking for a strategic partner to help it develop high-potential areas onshore the former Soviet republic. Frontera plans to focus on the further development of two shallow fields, till then. Though some of its wells at Basin Edge have been disappointing, she said the data collected pointed to large oil reservoirs there. She added, hese plays remain in our mindse are looking for a strategic partner to go back in and finish the work there, which has high-potential upside. We have already held talks with a range of companies. Block 12 is huge, at more than 5,000 sq km, the size of a quadrant in the North Sea. There are lots of leads and prospects.

Frontera Resources, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, has updated the drilling operations at the Mirzaani #1 well, currently drilling in an underdeveloped portion of the Mirzaani field within its shallow fields production unit, block 12, in the country of Georgia.

The company said that the open-hole logging operations have been completed at the Mirzaani #1 well. According to well logs and data obtained while drilling, the analysis suggests that the well contains approximately 146 meters of total net sandstones with average porosity values of approximately 20-25%.

The lower Pliocene age Shiraki formation sandstones are distributed among seven known field reservoir horizons, zones 12-18, that are situated at depths between approximately 1,200 meters and 1,490 meters.

Located approximately 520 meters to the southwest and as much as 20 meters up-dip of the currently producing #73 well within the field, the Mirzaani #1 well commenced drilling during the month of October in the southeastern portion of the Mirzaani field and reached a planned total depth of approximately 1,500 meters during the second week of November.

Steve Nicandros, chairman and CEO of Frontera Resources, said: "The successful drilling of the Mirzaani #1 well represents an important step for Frontera in our progress to increase production from the underdeveloped Mirzaani Field.

Together with the results seen in our analysis to date, the significantly improved drilling performance of this most recent well compared to the drilling of our first well in the field earlier this year provides us with further encouragement for continued growth of the shallow fields production unit."

Frontera Resources Corporation, the independent oil and gas exploration and production company, today released financial results for the third quarter of 2009 and also provided an update of operations at its Shallow Fields Production Unit located within its Block 12 licence area in the country of Georgia.

Operations

* Drilled and completed three new wells at Mtsare Khevi Field.
* Preparations underway to install gas sales related infrastructure at Mtsare Khevi Field.
* Currently drilling one new well at Mirzaani Field with logging operations underway.
* Recently passed one million hours worked without injury milestone, following more than 600 consecutive days of safe operations.

Financial

* Raised approx. $7.6 million through equity placement in September. Proceeds are funding continued investment at the Mirzaani and Mtsare Khevi fields within the Shallow Fields Production Unit.
* Results for the three months ending September 30, 2009 reflect a net loss of $13.4 million, or $0.17 per share on a fully-diluted basis. This loss compares to a net loss of $10.4 million, or $0.14 per share for the corresponding three months of 2008. Increase in net loss due primarily to a $3.4 million non-cash derivative expense associated with the issuance of warrants as part of the September equity placement.
* Received payment of $1.9 million in September for crude oil sales that will be reflected in fourth quarter results.

Operations Update

Shallow Fields Production Unit

Since September, progress has been made in executing the work programs and gas-sales related infrastructure investments announced in connection with the companys September equity placement. These activities are aimed at increasing oil and gas production from the Mirzaani and Mtsare Khevi fields, two of four undeveloped fields within the Shallow Fields Production Unit. Frontera believes that successful completion of these work programs will increase Fronteras total daily production in Georgia to as much as 1,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). The current daily production is approx. 250 barrels of oil per day.

At the Mtsare Khevi Field, the next phase of drilling operations began as planned in September and is scheduled to be completed prior to year end. Three of four new planned wells were drilled, completed and placed into production in continuation of the development drilling campaign that commenced in August 2008. The fourth well is expected to be completed in December, which would bring the total wells drilled in the program to 18. Ongoing work is designed to develop both oil and gas reservoirs associated with the Akchagil formation, situated between 200 meters and 350 meters in depth.

Oil production operations are currently focused on maintaining and increasing current daily production rates. To mitigate anticipated natural well decline rates and enhance the low recovery characteristics of the Akchagils oil bearing reservoirs, investments are also underway to implement pump optimization programs, waterflood and frac-stimulation initiatives prior to year end. Current daily oil production is approximately 100 barrels per day from eight of the wells drilled to date and these production engineering initiatives are expected to help maintain and increase production from month to month.

The remaining nine wells are classified as gas wells, and efforts to commence gas production and associated sales from these wells are also underway. Current plans call for installation of new infrastructure for the transportation of as much as 100,000 cubic meters of gas per day (589 boepd) to a pipeline within twelve kilometres of the field. This work is expected to be completed early in the first quarter of 2010.

At the Mirzaani Field during the month of October, the Mirzaani #1 well commenced drilling in the underdeveloped southeastern portion of the field and reached a planned total depth of approximately 1,500 meters during the second week of November. While drilling, the well encountered multiple known field reservoir horizons associated with the Lower Pliocene age Shiraki formation between 1,000 meters and 1,500 meters, as well as multiple associated oil shows. An eighteen meter core sample was taken in one of these reservoir horizons in order to provide a fresh understanding of the fields reservoirs. Open-hole logging operations are currently underway, and once associated analysis is complete, the well is expected to be completed and tested in approximately two weeks.

Fronteras next well at the Mirzaani Field, the Mirzaani #5, is planned to commence in early December at a location situated in an undeveloped area of the field known as Mirzaani Field Northwest. The well is expected to reach a total depth of 1,250 meters by the end of December and is located 600 meters northwest of the Mirzaani #2 discovery well that Frontera drilled earlier this year. The new #5 well is planned to appraise the recent field extension discovery.

While technical complications associated with cementing and completion of the Mirzaani #2 well have prevented sustained production from being achieved, the data obtained from the well established the presence of potentially significant undeveloped oil reserves in both the previously undeveloped Mirzaani Field Northwest area and in the Mirzaani Field proper. This data provided the technical basis for drilling both the #1 and #5 wells.

Based on analysis of programs to date at both fields, Frontera estimates the two fields contain over 50 million barrels of prospective resources within the Shallow Fields Production Unit. New reserve reports are expected to be completed following the current work programs.

Frontera's Shallow Fields Production Unit is located in the central portion of Block 12 and represents what the company believes to be an extensive trend of low-cost, low-risk undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Containing four discovered yet undeveloped or underdeveloped fields that have additional exploration potential, objectives are considered to be traditional, well-known reservoirs of Pliocene and Miocene age that are situated at depths from 10 meters to 1,500 meters.

In response to Melik Kaylan's compelling interview with President Saakashvili ("The Journal Interview with Mikheil Saakashvili: Georgia on His Mind," editorial page, Aug. 25), we join the chorus of voices recognizing the extraordinary progress in the country of Georgia. With his visionary leadership, President Saakashvili and his government have successfully created a very attractive environment for economic development as the basis for building a nation that provides its citizens with hope and opportunity.

In a remarkably brief period, political leaders have followed their words with swift actions to effect very visible change. As a result, Georgia has become a stable, market-oriented environment where the work force is highly educated and motivated and foreign investment is very welcome. Infrastructure, banking and legal systems have made great strides in approaching international standards, underpinned by a relentless and successful effort to stamp out the barriers of corruption from the past.

Most notably, the achievements of President Saakashvili's administration have resulted in the World Bank recently citing Georgia as the world's top reformer for two years in a row. To this end, Frontera Resources has invested more than $100 million to date in Georgia's oil and gas exploration sector and our investment plans remain very aggressive for the foreseeable future because of our confidence in the environment that continues to evolve.

We have experienced firsthand the accelerated progress of this dynamic nation and remain strategically committed based on the ideals and principles that President Saakashvili and his administration have demonstrated in guiding Georgia's future.

HOUSTON, TX -- 11/24/09 -- Frontera Resources Corporation (AIM: FRR) (OTCQX: FRTE), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, today announced an update of drilling operations at the Mirzaani #1 well that is currently drilling in an underdeveloped portion of the Mirzaani Field within its Shallow Fields Production Unit, Block 12, in the country of Georgia.

Open-hole logging operations have recently been completed at the Mirzaani #1 well and, based on well logs as well as data obtained while drilling, analysis indicates that the well contains approximately 146 meters of total net sandstones with average porosity values of approximately 20-25%. These Lower Pliocene age Shiraki formation sandstones are distributed among seven known field reservoir horizons, Zones 12-18, that are situated at depths between approximately 1,200 meters and 1,490 meters. As expected, multiple hydrocarbon shows were encountered while drilling.

Located approximately 520 meters to the southwest and as much as 20 meters up-dip of the currently producing #73 well within the field, the Mirzaani #1 well commenced drilling during the month of October in the underdeveloped southeastern portion of the Mirzaani Field and reached a planned total depth of approximately 1,500 meters during the second week of November.

Efforts are currently underway to prepare for production testing in early December.

Steve C. Nicandros, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The successful drilling of the Mirzaani #1 well represents an important step for Frontera in our progress to increase production from the underdeveloped Mirzaani Field. Together with the results seen in our analysis to date, the significantly improved drilling performance of this most recent well compared to the drilling of our first well in the field earlier this year provides us with further encouragement for continued growth of the Shallow Fields Production Unit."

Discovered in 1932, the Mirzaani Field has historically produced approximately 7 million barrels of oil, but contains many undrilled locations across the structure. The Mirzaani #1 well is the second new well to be drilled in the field since 1972. In 2006, Frontera acquired approximately 100 kilometers of new seismic data over the field area as part of an effort to re-map and identify new potential associated with the field. Based on analysis to date at both fields, Frontera estimates Mirzaani Field to contain over 50 million barrels of prospective resources within the Shallow Fields Production Unit. New reserve reports are expected to be completed following the current work programs.

Frontera's Shallow Fields Production Unit is located in the central portion of Block 12 and represents what the company believes to be an extensive trend of low-cost, low-risk oil and gas reserves.

Nicandros, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'We are very pleased with this addition of new capital in support of our company's ongoing efforts. The planned use of these proceeds will permit us to continue to advance work at the Shallow Fields Production Unit where anticipated results are expected to provide us with increased cash flow generation going into 2010. Underpinned by cost cutting initiatives that have been implemented since the beginning of this year and remain ongoing, I am encouraged by the overall prospects for meaningful value realization and growth in the year ahead.

In addition, while we have chosen to prioritize our near term efforts in favour of increasing cost effective production from our Shallow Fields Production Unit in order to establish a strong foundation for our company, we will simultaneously continue to pursue strategies designed to allow us to bring the Taribani Field Unit into commercial production and to fully evaluate the significant exploration potential that we have identified at the Basin Edge 'B' and 'C' Prospects.

Phoned the company on friday and in a nutshell there will be an update shortly, i asked if all had gone to plan and she said we expect to meet out targets before year end thanked me for my support gl all senn.

I posted this a while bk.........

Were currently waiting on news for the mirzanni field to prove up 50million recoverable barrels of oil, estimates are the field holds 600million barrels OIP. They are hoping to increase production to 1000bopd by Christmas and 2000bopd in 2011.

This will give them a financial platform to work from and move forwardespecially the Basin Edge prospects B & C which are estimated to hold over 1billion recoverable barrels of oil



Mtsare Khevi Field

5 million barrels of recoverable oil reserves, Additional reserve potential exists in deeper Miocene age sandstone horizons that have previously tested and flowed oil. This potential is currently under study and is expected to become a focus of future operations to fully develop the Mtsare Khevi Field.

The Mirzaani #2

the Mirzaani Field Northwest contains potentially significant volumes of recoverable oil reserves within multiple reservoir intervals situated at depths between 800 and 1,300 meters. In total, early analysis by the company indicates there may be as much as 600 million barrels of total oil in place.

Nazarlebi Field and Patara Shiraki Field:

Frontera's field studies have concluded that significant undeveloped reserve potential of as much as 5 million barrels of recoverable reserves exists in oil bearing reservoirs situated at depths from 10 meters to 1,200 meters within the Shiraki formation at the Nazarlebi and Patara

Shiraki Fields

the company believes to be an extensive trend of low-cost, low-risk oil and gas reserves. Containing four discovered yet undeveloped or underdeveloped fields that have additional exploration potential, objectives are considered to be traditional, well-known reservoirs of Pliocene and Miocene age that are situated at depths from 10 meters to 1,500 meters

Taribani Field Unit

The Taribani Field is a large, undeveloped oil field covering an area of approximately 80 square kilometers with productive horizons situated in Miocene and Pliocene age reservoirs. These reservoirs are located at depths between 2,200 meters and 3,500 meters. The independent consulting firm of Netherland, Sewell & Associates has assigned 118 million barrels of P3 reserves from Zones 9, 14, 15 and 19 within the field. Additionally, Netherland, Sewell & Associates has assigned as much as 36 million barrels of unrisked resource potential associated with five deeper horizons in the field.

Basin Edge Play Unit

Frontera's Basin Edge Play Unit is located along the northern border of Block 12 and represents what the company believes is one of the newest and potentially most prolific exploration plays in the Upper Kura Basin. Netherland, Sewell and Associates estimate total unrisked resource potential to be in excess of one billion barrels of recoverable oil within the unit's two major prospects ("B" and "C"). Of this total, prior to the acquisition of new seismic data suggesting an even larger structure, the "C" Prospect was estimated to contain as much as 300 million barrels of recoverable oil from primary reservoir targets and as much as 250 million barrels from secondary reservoir objectives.

.......................................................................

Mtsare Khevi Field = 5 million barrels of recoverable

The Mirzaani #2 = 600 million barrels of total oil in place X 25% recoverable say = 150million barrells

Nazarlebi Field and Patara Shiraki Field: = 5 million barrels of recoverable

Shiraki Fields = ?

Taribani Field Unit = 118 million barrels + 36 million barrels = 154million barrells

Basin Edge Play Unit = one billion barrels of recoverable oil
