Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Northern Lion") (TSX
VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) wishes to announce results from the five holes drill
on the Company's 100% owned Evloimeni project, located in the western portion of
the Republic of Cyprus. This diamond drill program was part of a larger drill
program totaling 34 holes within five project areas. The Evloimeni drilling
targeted surface mineralization along with geophysical anomalies generated by
the Induced Polarization ("IP") survey and recent surface geochemical sampling.
The project is located 2kms southeast of the former producing Limni Mine which
is reported to have had a total reserves of 16.4 million tonnes at a grade of
1.0% Copper and 3.4 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold in the massive sulfide.


Five holes were completed during the 2011 drill program, with holes 11EV01
through 11EV04 located in the vicinity of the existing cut. Hole 11EV05 was
located 350 metres to the southeast along the trend to test a surface gold
anomaly.


Hole 11EV01 was drilled in the base of the old cut and intersected a zone of
anomalous gold mineralization between 8.4 metres and 50.4 metres, with a higher
grade portion from 8.4 metres to 32.7 metres averaging 1.3 g/t gold. Anomalous
copper and zinc are also associated with this zone. Hole 11EV02 located
approximately 120 metres southeast of EV01, was collared on a bench of the cut
and was designed to test the 30 g/t surface gold anomaly. This hole intersected
what appears to be a feeder system from 3 metres to 26.3 metres which averaged
0.6 g/t gold, with a higher grade interval from 3 metres to 15 metres averaging
1.07 g/t gold. Locally grades of up to 4.6 g/t over 1.0 metres occur beneath the
high grade surface samples.


Hole 11EV03 was designed to test a target to the southwest of the main cut where
a grab sample from a water well drill cuttings returned over 1 g/t gold. This
hole intersected unaltered pillow lavas from 0 to 45 metres then intensely
argillic altered lavas locally containing zones of massive and semi massive
pyrite. Anomalous gold mineralization is present from 45.4 metres to 92.4
metres, with sporadic zones of anomalous copper up to 0.85% over 0.9 metres, and
zinc up to 5.8% over 1.8 metres.


Anomalous gold mineralization was encountered from 4.5 to 35.85 metres in hole
11EV04. This hole is located at the southeastern edge of the old workings and
targeted a series of surface rock samples containing over 1 g/t gold.


No significant mineralization was encountered in hole 11EV05 which was
terminated at 86.0m due to technical issues and did not reach the intended
target.


The following table contains the assay results for the Evloimeni drilling.

Historical work on the Evloimeni property included mapping, sampling,
geophysical surveys, drilling and the pre-striping of an ore body in preparation
for mining. It is believed that limited production took place, however no
production records are known to exist. Prior to the Company's drill program
Northern Lion completed grid based soil and rock sampling, and an IP survey
covering the mineralization within the pre-stripped cut area and extended the
grid to the southeast to cover a potential extension.


Evloimeni was one of the first properties visited by the company during the
initial visit to Cyprus, at which time a sample from the cut assayed 7.5 g/t
gold. Subsequent sampling by the Company has returned values up to 30 g/t gold
in grab type samples and 2.06 g/t gold over 10.7 metres in chip samples.


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

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.
