NL Northern Lion Gold Corp

Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Northern Lion") (TSX
VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) wishes to provide this update on exploration
activities on the Company's permits within the Republic of Cyprus.


Hy-Tech Drilling Ltd. of Smithers, BC, Canada, commenced the 2011 drill program
in February, and are currently halfway through the planned program. Logging and
sampling of the core is ongoing and samples are being shipped on a weekly basis
to ALS Chemex in Romania for analyses. The Company anticipates it will begin to
receive initial assay results from this drill program within the next few weeks.


Concurrently with the drill program, surface exploration is continuing on the
Company's western permits. This work entails mapping and sampling of several
prospective areas defined by the regional geochemical survey carried out in
2010. These zones contained strongly anomalous values in copper, zinc, gold and
silver in multiple samples. This region has historically seen significantly less
exploration activity than the eastern portion of the country. The Company plans
to have this evaluation completed upon receipt of the airborne VTEM survey data.


As a result of the Company's activities in Cyprus, interest in mineral
exploration has spread through the communities and prospectors are now bringing
new showings to the Company for evaluation.


History

The history of mineral exploitation (copper, gold and other metals) on the
island of Cyprus dates back to the Bronze Age, approximately 5,000 years ago.
The Phoenicians were the first to process copper on the island, followed by the
Romans and this activity has continued to the present day. The evidence of this
long history of mining is readily observed in the abundant ancient surface and
underground workings along with extensive slag heaps. Mineral exploration in the
Republic of Cyprus has been at a very low level over the last few decades, and
management believes that there is a high probability of additional massive
sulphide bodies being present that did not outcrop, as nearly all of the known
deposits did.


The metal deposits of Cyprus are dominantly copper-bearing volcanogenic hosted
massive sulphide "VHMS" deposits. These deposits are hosted within the pillow
lava sequence of the Troodos Ophiolite Complex. The pillow lava sequence is
divided into Upper and Lower Pillow Lavas, with the majority of massive sulphide
bodies located along the contact between pillow lava sequences, and the
remainder between the Lower Pillow Lavas and the Basal Group. All of the
Company's applications overlie these important contacts. Gold mineralization
associated with the massive sulphide ores has not historically been evaluated.


Quality Control and Assurance

The Company's field activities in Cyprus are under the direction of Jim Chapman,
P.Geo. (BC), consultant to the Company and "qualified person", as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, who is responsible for the technical content of this
news release.
