Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the "Company")
announces that it has staked an additional twenty two (22) claims on the 100%
owned Poplar Project near Houston, BC.


The new claims fill in the area between Lions Gate's Poplar Project and Thompson
Creek Metals' (TCM) Berg Project. The additional 22 claims add 9,827 hectares
bringing LGM's land position to 175 claims totaling 69,185 hectares. "Lions Gate
will take steps to expand its already substantial landholdings when it makes
sense," stated Arni Johannson, Lions Gate's Chairman. "In this case, we have
strategic reasons to stake this area. As we continue to develop the Poplar
Project, we need to think about locations for potential milling and tailings
facilities."
