NL Northern Lion Gold Corp

Northern Lion Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) (the "Company" or
"Northern Lion") announces the approval for four additional mineral permits in
the Republic of Cyprus, which increases the Company's current tenure holdings to
24 permits with a total area greater than 80 square kilometres. Two of the new
permits are held outright by Northern Lion, while the other two are under an
option agreement between the Company and SES Sweden AB. Initial work on the Pano
Lefkara and the Kato Lefkara permits has revealed surface gold mineralization,
and a follow up drill program is planned.


Pano Lefkara Permit - 100% Owned

Rock chip sample lines at Pano Lefkara across a 100 metre by 40 metre breccia
zone have returned intervals of 41 metres averaging 3.47 grams per tonne ("g/t")
gold, 25 metres averaging 1.1 g/t gold, and 24.5 metres averaging 1.06 g/t gold.
The breccia zone consists of silicified argillically altered fragments in a
variably limonite-kaolinite-hematite altered matrix. Historical drilling of the
breccia zone intersected 30 metres of 0.42% copper and 0.91% zinc from within a
wider zone of strong clay-pyrite alteration. Gold assays are not available from
the earlier work. A large slag heap near the breccia zone attests to ancient
mining in the vicinity. Work by Northern Lion 450 metres south of the breccia
zone has revealed a substantial gold geochemical anomaly and rock grab samples
returned values up to 6.76 g/t gold.


Kato Lefkara Permit - 100% Owned

There are two historical zones of mineralization known at Kato Lefkara permit;
Papoutsi and Touroundja. Northern Lion has obtained several rock grab samples
with values greater than 1.0 g/t gold from each zone. Both zones consist of
strong limonite/kaolinite gossans which are variably exposed beneath younger
sedimentary cover, and talus. The gossan at Touroundja is exposed over a 275
metre by 175 metre area. Rock chip sampling across the gossan returned a 31.5
metre sample averaging 3.08 g/t gold. Another nearby outcrop returned a 6 metre
rock chip sample averaging 6.38 g/t gold. The gossan appears to overlie a zone
of strongly silicified argillically altered rocks. Historical drilling has
reportedly intersected sulphides below the gossan and historical ground
geophysical surveys have identified strong electromagnetic conductors associated
with the gossan and at other locations under the sedimentary cover. Gold assays
are not available from the historic work.


Filousa Permit - Optioned

The Filousa permit is located within the western portion of the recently
completed airborne geophysical survey. Northern Lion is waiting on a final
report and interpretation of an airborne geophysical survey which was flown over
two areas of the Company's permits in western Cyprus in early December 2011. The
survey was flown by Geotech Airborne Malta, Limited and consisted of a Versatile
Time-Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM") and aeromagnetic geophysical survey. The
Filousa permit is underlain by prospective geology and hosts a number of
preliminary targets generated by that survey. The final results of the survey
are expected within the coming weeks.


Perapedi Permit - Optioned

The Perapedi permit located to the east of the St. Nikolas permit has also been
approved. This permit covers the continuation of the trend of prospective
geology which hosts the gold mineralization at St. Nikolas, where in 2011 the
Company encountered significant drill intercepts including 4.5 g/t gold, 19.08
g/t silver, and 1.04% copper over 28.6 metres in hole 11SN02 (reported April 6,
2011).


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


The Company also announces it does not plan to pursue its interest in the Moura
license, located in southern Portugal.
