Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Northern Lion") (TSX
VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) has received the final assays from the 2011 drilling
program at the St. Nik project, Cyprus. Drill holes 11SN01 and 11SN04 were the
last holes to be analysed and were initially considered to have missed the
mineralized zone at St. Nik due to structural displacement. Hole 11SN01
encountered gold mineralization from 4.9 metres below surface to 27.50 metres
grading 1.32 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 22.6 metres. Hole 11SN04
encountered 15.5 metres grading 0.77 g/t gold including 8.5 metres of 1.24 g/t
gold starting at 8.05m.


The 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 seven hole drill program totaling
541.1 metres appears to outline a continuous near surface mineralized horizon
which remains open to the south, west and north. This occurrence 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 (www.northernliongold.com).


The table below contains all of the significant intercepts at St. Nik.

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.


Quality Control and Assurance

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