NL Northern Lion Gold Corp

Northern Lion Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NL)(FRANKFURT:N3E) (the "Company")
announces the completion of a ground geophysical survey and commencement of a
diamond drill program with project partner, Centerra Gold (KB) Inc., a
subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. (collectively "Centerra"). A planned 1,500
metre drill program will test several highly prospective targets identified from
the geophysical survey completed within the Optioned Permits in the Republic of
Cyprus.


Company President and CEO, John Lando, commented: "We are excited to implement a
diamond drill program funded by Centerra. Very little exploration work has been
completed in Cyprus over the past 40 years, and with the expertise of one of the
leading gold producers, our drill program is designed to systematically discover
buried massive sulphide bodies." 


An audio magnetotelurics survey was completed and identified anomalous targets
across five areas in the Paphos District and over one area in the Larnaca
District. The Paphos District program surveyed targets from the 2011 Versatile
Time-Domain Electromagnetic Survey conducted by Geotech Airborne Malta, Ltd.
(reported February 7, 2012). Geops-Bolkan Drilling Services Ltd. has been
contracted for the diamond drill program, which is now underway in Cyprus.


Under an option agreement, Centerra has the right to acquire up to 70% interest
in several exploration permits located in the Paphos and Larnaca Districts (the
"Optioned Permits") by incurring exploration expenditures on the Optioned
Permits over five years. The Company, through its Cypriot subsidiary Katla
Exploration Ltd., is the operator during the first year of the option agreement,
following which Centerra may elect to assume operatorship (reported May 14,
2013). The Company continues to hold several permits within the Republic of
Cyprus that remain outside of this option agreement.


Target Areas:

Larnaca District Permit

The Pano Lefkara permit survey targeted gold and massive sulfide mineralization
discovered by the Company in 2012. Auriferous massive sulfides were encountered
in three rotary drill holes where drill hole PLRD12-01 intersected 3 metres of
4.98 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, 29.60 g/t silver, 3.75% copper, and 2.47%
zinc (reported July 17, 2012). The survey results support the previous drill
results and a follow-up drill program is planned. 


Paphos District Permits  

The Paphos District surveys have defined anomalies on all of the completed
grids, a number of which are situated in favourable geological settings similar
to which underlay mineralization at the past producing Limni and Kynousa mines.
Both the Limni and Kynousa mines were operated by the Cyprus Sulphur and Copper
Company, where the Limni mine produced over 8 million tonnes of 1.11% copper.
The anomalies consist of resistivity lows which may be associated with massive
sulfide mineralization. 


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