NL Northern Lion Gold Corp

Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Northern Lion") (TSX
VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) announces that rotary drilling has encountered gold
bearing massive sulphides at Pano Lefkara and geophysical targets have been
identified from the interpretation of an airborne survey flown over two areas of
western Cyprus. These results and targets warrant a follow up drill program. 


Drilling Update

Two rotary drill holes have been completed at the Pano Lefkara permit with gold
bearing massive sulphide mineralization being encountered. The Company utilizes
the rotary drill as a prospecting tool to aid in outlining the lateral extent
and the level of mineralization of buried targets. Both drill holes encountered
massive sulfide mineralization; however due to possible down-hole contamination
only the first samples are reported:




PLRD12-01 - 3 metres of 4.98 g/t gold, 29.60 g/t silver, 3.75% copper, 2.47%
zinc.                                                                       
PLRD12-02 - 3 metres of 1.98 g/t gold, 10.80 g/t silver, 0.67% copper, 1.45%
zinc.                                                                       



Estimated thickness of the zones range between 8 and 27 metres based on visual
estimates of the rotary drill chips. 


Previous exploration work at Pano Lefkara by the Company returned rock chip
sample lines of 41 metres averaging 3.47 g/t gold, 25 metres averaging 1.10 g/t
gold, and 24.5 metres averaging 1.06 g/t gold (reported April 25, 2012). The
Company also has plans to drill the Tourounja prospect on the Kato Lefkara
permit, where a rock chip sample from a gossan returned 31.5 metres averaging
3.08 g/t gold (reported April 25, 2012).


Airborne Targets

The geophysical anomalies were interpreted by Condor Consulting Inc. The survey
was flown by Geotech Airborne Malta, Ltd. and consisted of a Versatile
Time-Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM") and aeromagnetics survey and was designed
to identify buried massive sulphide targets in underexplored areas of western
Cyprus (reported February 7, 2012). 


The survey has identified high priority targets in two areas of the geophysical
survey. The Lysos target area hosts a cluster of seven anomalies, where the
largest anomaly covers an area over 3.2 kilometres long. The geology of this
area includes discrete outcrops of limestone which can be associated with
paleobasins that form above compacting massive sulphide mounds. This is similar
to what occurred at the past producing Kynousa Mine and also at the largest
operating mine in Cyprus, Skouriotissa. The Kynousa target is located in an area
of historic copper production and also contains limestone outcrops. The results
of the airborne program are available on the Company's website at
www.northernliongold.com. 


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