Northern Lion Gold Corp. provided update on the Republic of Cyprus exploration program. As previously reported on September 25, 2009, the company has been evaluating additional areas along the Troodos Ophiolite Complex to add to the land position currently under option. The department of Mines in Cyprus has granted the company six new permits totaling 23.46 km2. These areas were selected on the basis of known deposits, abundant old workings and favourable geology. The targets are Cyprus type massive sulphide bodies that are believed to host significant gold mineralization as well as copper, zinc and silver. Gold mineralization associated with the Cyprus massive sulphide ores has not historically been evaluated. As previously announced on June 17, 2008, during management's initial visit to the area in April 2008, six grab samples were collected from within the Company's Asproyia project and their application areas. Highlights included one sample which returned 4.1% copper, and another sample which returned 7.3 grams per tonne gold and 17.6 g/t silver.

Northern Lion Gold Corp. provided update on the Republic of Cyprus exploration program. Management and consultants have just returned from Cyprus where they conducted a review of the company's Asproyia project, monitored the company's land applications and evaluated additional exploration opportunities. Numerous projects were visited and over 100 samples were collected, the results of which are pending. Several of these new exploration opportunities are being reviewed for their potential to host significant gold mineralization as well as copper and silver. The major deposits of Cyprus are the dominantly copper-bearing volcanogenic hosted massive sulphide 'VHMS' deposits. These deposits are hosted within the pillow lava sequence of the Troodos ophiolite. The pillow lava sequence is divided into Upper and Lower Pillow Lavas according to their place in the stratigraphy, with the majority of massive sulphide bodies forming between the two pillow lava sequences. All seven of the Company's applications overlie this important contact. The other styles of mineralization on Cyprus, apart from the massive sulphide deposits and associated stockwork mineralization are the interstitial and overlying sedimentary umber and ochre deposits. Ochres are manganese poor ferruginous sediments generally associated with sulphide ores located between the Upper and Lower Pillow Lavas, while umbers are manganese rich ferruginous mudstones overlying the Upper Pillow Lavas. Umbers and ochres have historically been mined for dyes and are known locally to contain significant gold values.
