NL Northern Lion Gold Corp

Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Northern Lion") (TSX
VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) wishes to announce that crews have been mobilized and
the ongoing 2011 exploration program is underway. The program includes over
1,000 line kilometres of a time-domain electromagnetic system (VTEM) airborne
geophysical survey and 5,000 metres of rotary drilling, as well as continuing
with the ongoing mapping, prospecting, soil and rock sampling.


The airborne survey is awaiting final approval of the proposed flight path and
area to be surveyed from the government department of Civil Aviation. The survey
is expected to commence near the end of October, 2011.


A program of reconnaissance rotary drilling will recommence to follow up on
results from the previous diamond drill and initial rotary drill programs.
Targets will also be generated by the airborned geophysical survey. The areas to
be drill tested in the immediate future are Pitha, Anglesides, Philani and St.
Nikolas.


Northern Lion continues to collect rock and soil samples over known gossan
zones. These ground based geochemical surveys in conjunction with the airborne
geophysical survey are expected to generate additional drill prospect targets
for the rotary program. The rotary drill is a quick and extremely cost efficient
prospecting tool which will aid in outlining the lateral extent and the level of
mineralization of buried targets.


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.
