Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Northern Lion") (TSX
VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) wishes to announce the commencement of the airborne
geophysical survey covering the Company's western permits in the Republic of
Cyprus. The Company has contracted Geotech Airborne Malta, Limited ("Geotech")
to carry out a helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM")
geophysical survey at 100 metre line spacing for a total of 850 line kilometres
and will cover 80 square kilometres.


The western permits airborne geophysical survey will encompass a strike length
of 18 kilometres of favourable geology on the westside of the Troodos Ophiolite
Complex. The Limini mine at the north end of the belt is a past producer and was
one of the country's largest volcanogenic massive sulphide bodies.


John Lando, President and CEO states, "The commencement of the airborne
geophysical survey represents a key catalyst because no company has ever flown
an airborne of this calibre over the western permits." The vast majority of the
known deposits within Cyprus were exposed at surface and are hosted by the Upper
and Lower Pillow Lava series. It is believed that additional deposits exist
along the underexplored western portion of the complex. These would have no
surface expression but may be amenable to modern airborne geophysical detection,
which has never been attempted in this region. 


The Geotech B-field VTEM Time Domain EM System is an industry leader in the
field of airborne EM surveys and provides excellent depth penetration and
spatial resolution of anomalies. Further processing of the data will be
undertaken by an independent consulting firm specializing in airborne data. 


During the 2010 and 2011 surface exploration programs the Company has carried
out widespread reconnaissance soil sampling along with prospecting and mapping
of the western permits. It is believed that in conjunction with the regional
soil geochemical surveys, mapping programs, prospecting and rock sampling that
the airborne survey will develop additional drill targets.


Separately, The Company has delivered notice to Michael Poullaides of its
intention to terminate its option agreement on the Philani project.


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.
