LGM Lions Gate Metals Inc.

Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("LGM" or the "Company") announces the
completion of a 2,767 line km airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey on
their flagship Poplar Project. At least seven new targets consistent with a
porphyry copper signature have been identified within LGM's tenures.


Using the past producing Bell Mine and the nearby Huckleberry Mine as models,
LGM has identified similar magnetic and electromagnetic signatures throughout
the Poplar tenements. The geophysical survey presented targets for geochemical
and geophysical follow up in order to determine where additional mineralization
occurs. The proposed work program for this year includes the geochemical and
geophysical follow up in addition to the 5,200m drill program announced on
January 18, 2010.


Lions Gate Metals commissioned Aeroquest International Limited ("Aeroquest") to
perform the airborne survey after reviewing encouraging results from Geoscience
BC's 2008 Quest West Airborne geophysical survey. In November 2009, Aeroquest
flew a detailed infill survey over the Poplar claims using the same AeroTEM3 /
MAG platform. Magnetic and Electromagnetic imaging indicates four unexplored and
three partially explored targets that have signatures consistent with the
possible presence of buried or hidden porphyry copper / porphyry
copper-molybdenum deposits. Initial results were so encouraging that an
additional 105.8 line km were added to the survey for a total of 2,767 line km.
An additional 10,396 hectares of ground were staked to cover these extensions
and the surrounding ground. Preliminary till sampling was performed over the
majority of the Quest West anomalies within LGM's tenures in the fall of 2009,
results of which are pending. Additional sampling is planned for the summer of
2010 to develop these new targets and prioritize a potential drill program this
fall.


In conjunction with the extensive airborne geophysical survey over the Poplar
property, LGM has identified extensions of the IP anomaly in the Poplar Main
Zone. In October 2009, a Deep Induced Polarization ("IP") survey was completed
on the Poplar Deposit. The Poplar Deposit has a published historic mineral
resource of 236,000,000 tonnes at 0.37% copper equivalent grade using 0.25%
copper equivalent grade cutoff. The estimation of copper equivalent grade was
made in 1982 using metal prices prevalent at that time. This reserve estimate
was prepared prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 Standards
of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), and does not comply with that
standard; nor does the term copper equivalent grade comply with that standard.
The resource estimate was produced prior to the publication of the CIM Standards
on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, and does not provide further
classification of the estimate into Measured, Indicated or Inferred Mineral
Resources. The data used and the resulting estimate may not be relied upon until
they have been confirmed by using standards compliant with NI 43-101. The
potential for Lions Gate Metals to reproduce the historical estimate or to
expand the resource by further work is speculative. Investors are cautioned that
a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 has not yet completed adequate
testing of the Poplar Deposit, or adequate review of the historical data to
define a current resource that is in compliance with NI 43-101. Lions Gate
Metals does not consider the historic resource to represent a current mineral
resource.


These grades are consistent with current and past producing mines in the area.
The Deep IP survey has revealed extensions in the IP anomaly below known
mineralization tested by past drilling. A 5200m drill program has been proposed
for completion this year to determine depth and grade of the mineralization
below the Poplar Main Zone. Funding of the proposed Poplar work program is
subject to completion of the private placement forming part of the AusNiCo
business combination transaction announced on December 18, 2009.


The Poplar property has grown in size by a combination of claim staking and
option agreements from 49,162 hectares in early 2009 to 63,936.8 hectares in
early 2010 and has exciting new data regarding its mineralization.


Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Arni Johannson, CEO
