Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the settlement and termination of the $75,000 annual fee to
Standard Exploration Ltd. for the Poplar Project.


Lions Gate Metals has terminated the annual payment of CDN $75,000.00 due each
year on December 6 by purchasing the option from Standard Exploration Ltd. for
consideration of $350,000.00. The $75,000 payment, which was due each year in
perpetuity, was a term contained in the Amended and Restated Property Option
Agreement dated July 30, 2007 between Hathor Exploration Limited and Fortress
Base Metals Corp. (now Lions Gate Metals Inc.).


"Removing the obligation of the annual fee on the Poplar Project further
demonstrates management's dedication to ensure Lions Gate's projects are free
from as many burdens as possible to enhance the Company's worth and drive
shareholder value," says Paul Sarjeant, President and CEO.


Terms of the Settlement and Termination Agreement

On December 6, 2011, a Settlement and Termination Agreement was signed between
Standard Exploration Ltd. and Lions Gate. The purpose of the Agreement was to
free Lions Gate of the annual $75,000.00 obligation. The Agreement provided that
Lions Gate would pay an amount of $200,000.00 upon signing the Agreement and an
additional amount of $150,000.00 upon the completion of its next financing or an
agreed upon date (December 6, 2012), whichever came first. Having completed a
financing in February 2012, Lions Gate issued the final payment on February 29,
2012.
