Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the
"Agreement") with an arm's-length vendor, by which the Company can earn a
100-per-cent (100%) interest in the Whitford Lake uranium project, which covers
67 hectares in the Athabasca Basin, in Saskatchewan (the "Property"). The
Whitford Lake Project is located, some 21km SE of the Cigar Mine on the eastern
edge of the Athabasca Basin, the most productive uranium region in the world.
Other claimholders in the area include Fission Energy, Purepoint Uranium,
Denison Mines and Cameco Corporation. The primary target at Whitford Lake is two
northeast, parallel magnetic contacts, between which lies a zone of subsurface
resistivity, with a strike length of roughly 750m. Drilling at Whitford Lake by
Cameco in 1995 identified a zone of altered sandstone, beginning 30m above the
unconformity, enriched with chlorite and illite, which is indicative of
hydrothermal activity. In addition, elevated lead levels below the unconformity
have also been identified. All of these enrichments are key exploration
indicators for uranium exploration in the Athabasca basin.


Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company can earn a 100-per-cent (100%)
interest in the Property by paying $100,000 initially and issuing two million
five hundred thousand (2,500,000) common shares to the vendor. 1,000,000 shares
will be issued within 5 days of regulatory approval with the balance being
distributed under an escrow agreement over the next 18 months (500,000 share
increments ever six months). The Company must make additional payments of
$1,150,000 and complete $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property
within the next 4 years. A 1-per-cent (1%) net smelter royalty has been granted
to the vendor, of which a half per-cent (0.5%) may be purchased by the Company
for $750,000. The Agreement is subject to regulatory approval.


"As we advance the option agreement on the Poplar Copper, Silver, Gold deposit
the company has been looking for additional opportunities for expansion
featuring geographical and commodity diversification. Our Lions Gate team has
the skill sets and contacts in the Uranium Sector. The company's management is
of the mindset that the Uranium sector will see renewed interest as the market
realizes the supply and demand delta is widening. Management also feels asset
values have 'bottomed-out' and at this stage projects such as Whitford Lake
represent excellent value for money," commented CEO & Chair, Arni Johannson.
