NL Northern Lion Gold Corp

Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Northern Lion") (TSX
VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) wishes to announce additional results from the seven
holes drilled on the Company's 100% owned St Nik project. This drill program was
part of a larger program, totalling 34 holes (3,200 metres) within five project
areas. St. Nik drill holes targeted geophysical anomalies generated by the 2011
Induced Polarization ("IP") survey, surface geochemical sampling, and followed
up on limited historical reports. This initial drill program at St. Nik outlines
an area with a continuous near surface mineralized horizon. The mineralization
is open to the south, west and north and represents a younger mineralizing event
than the typical Cyprus style VHMS deposits which are dominantly hosted within
the Lower Pillow Lava sequence. A drill hole location map is available on the
Company's website.


The Company previously released initial gold results of 4.5 grams per tonne
("g/t") gold over 28.6 metres from hole 11SN02 (reported April 6, 2011). This
significant interval of massive and stockwork mineralization begins ten metres
below surface. It is hosted within the Upper Pillow Lavas ("UPL") just below the
sedimentary contact and includes at least 3 metres of silicified massive
sulphides at 30 metres, with an overlying and underlying zone of stockwork
mineralization.


The following table contains the assay results for the St. Nik mineralized horizon.

In 11SN03 the mineralization starts at 18.5 metres, which represents the base of
the sedimentary sequence, and continues to 65.4 metres for a total interval of
47 metres of 0.56 g/t gold and 7.8 g/t silver. Within this zone there is a
higher grade interval of 12.5 metres containing 1.4 g/t gold, 21.4 g/t silver
with minor copper and zinc. The massive sulphide zone at the base of the
sediments is present in this hole also; however it is narrow at 0.2 metres
grading 2.9 g/t gold, 16 g/t silver and 0.9% copper.


Hole 11SN05 was drilled to test the northwest extension of the mineralization
found in holes SN02 and 03. It encountered the mineralized volcanic horizon at
49.4 metres. The uppermost 6.6 metres of this zone contained 4.8 g/t gold, 19.3
g/t silver and 0.5% copper, within a larger 41.4 metres interval grading 0.9 g/t
gold, 4.2 g/t silver and 0.3% copper.


Holes 11SN02, 03 and 05 intersected this mineralized horizon along a
northwesterly trending distance of 135m. Holes SN02 and SN05 encountered
cavities and wood fragments within the mineralization as a result of ancient
roman mining activities. These cavities varied from 1 to 2.5 metres in width, at
the level of the massive sulphide horizon. The original thickness of the massive
sulphide unit is variable across the three holes, as would be expected in a sea
floor depositional environment; however the continuity of the unit over the
tested area is very encouraging. Each hole also displayed two separate pulses of
higher grade mineralization within a wider lower grade section.


Hole 11SN06 located 75 metres northeast of SN05, targeted a weak chargeability
anomaly derived from the IP survey carried out earlier this year, and was
located in the vicinity of an historical hole with a reported assay of 67 g/t
silver over three metres. The equivalent interval in SN06 contained 3.2 metres
of 0.7 g/t gold, 21.5 g/t silver and minor copper at the sediment - volcanic
contact.


Based on the drilling completed to date at the St. Nik project it appears that
the mineralized horizon is trending northwesterly and dipping to the southwest
under the sedimentary sequence. There are no historical holes in this direction,
and it is believed that the sedimentary cover would have protected the
mineralization from erosion. Drill hole 11SN07 located between holes 05 and 06
did not encounter any significant mineralization. There are numerous gossans and
ancient slag piles in the St Nik region from the roman era and it is indicative
that ancient mining activities occurred in the immediate vicinity. The Company
has commenced additional surface sampling and mapping.


At a showing known as Perapedi, located 12 kms east of St Nik, rock samples have
returned up to 0.4 g/t gold and 2.6% copper over two metres from a gossanous
zone along the same volcanic - sedimentary contact. Based on these results the
Company has applied for a permit covering 19.5 kms2 of the contact zone between
St Nik and Perapedi.


Preparations are continuing for the airborne EM and magnetic survey which is
expected to be approved in early June. The area to be flown has been increased
to take into account this new style of mineralization.


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. The pillow lava sequence is
divided into Upper and Lower Pillow Lavas, with the majority of massive sulphide
bodies located along the contact between pillow lava sequences, and the
remainder between the Lower Pillow Lavas and the Basal Group. All of the
Company's applications overlie these important contacts. Gold mineralization
associated with the massive sulphide ores has not historically been evaluated.
