LGM Lions Gate Metals Inc.

Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the "Company") is very
pleased to announce the SEDAR filing today, of a new 2012 Mineral Resource
Update NI43-101 Report (the "Report") for the Poplar Deposit. The 2012 Mineral
Resource Update on the Poplar Deposit, Omenica Mining Division, British
Columbia, dated March 30, 2012 and authored by G.H. Giroux, MASc., P. Eng., of
Giroux Consultants Ltd., can be viewed in its entirety on SEDAR or downloaded
from the Company's website.  


The Report focuses on Lions Gate's Phase Two drilling program on the Poplar
Property (the "Property"). Highlights of the Report include a marked increase in
the size of the mineralized resource (contained copper metal increased by 47
percent), and the first inclusion of precious metals in estimation of the Poplar
resource. At a 0.15% Cu cut-off, the Property has a new Indicated Resource of
171.3 million tonnes grading 0.28% Cu (1.06 billion pounds), 0.008% Mo, 0.08 g/t
Au and 2.30 g/t Ag (0.40% CuEq), plus an Inferred Resource of 209.0 million
tonnes grading 0.23% Cu (1.06 billion pounds), 0.004% Mo, 0.06 g/t Au and 3.62
g/t Ag (0.33% CuEq) as reported February 27, 2012. Sample density is now
sufficient that a significant portion of the resource has been upgraded from the
Inferred to Indicated category. 


Recommendations from the Report include drilling of holes dedicated to
collecting samples for metallurgical testing, and re-drilling of holes selected
from the historical drilling to confirm copper and molybdenum grades. The
re-drilled (or twinned) holes will also provide greater sample density for gold
and silver analyses. Additional holes will also be dedicated to further
upgrading of resources from Inferred to Indicated and Measured categories, and
to expanding the deposit laterally and at depth. The goal of this work is to
provide Lions Gate with a mineralized resource that may be converted into a
reportable Mineral Reserve. 


"Company geologists have steadily built the Poplar Resource over the past year.
The increased drill density and the geological model have increased the resource
both in size and grade, particularly through the construction of precious metal
models, and in removal of dilution from the estimates," says Senior Technical
Consultant, Peter L. Ogryzlo, M.Sc., P.Geo.  


"The inclusion of gold and silver estimates in the resource is of sufficient
importance to reclassify the deposit from a copper-molybdenum porphyry to a
copper-gold-silver porphyry. In addition, by converting a portion of the
resource into the Indicated category, the Company is now in a position to define
a Mineral Reserve, as outlined in the proposed work program of the Report. Lions
Gate hopes to increase confidence in their estimates by converting more of their
Inferred Resources into Indicated and Measured. Metallurgical testing of the
deposit beyond the historical work is also a necessary component in converting
the Poplar Resource into a Mineral Reserve." 


Company President and CEO, Paul Sarjeant, B.Sc., P.Geo., confirms that 2012
should be an exciting year for shareholders. "We are of course thrilled that the
Report reflects our confidence in the Poplar deposit and its near and long-term
potential. The untold chapters of the expansive 77,705 hectare Poplar story
remain the eight other high-potential copper-gold porphyry regional targets on
the Property. We are very anxious to get on the ground as early as possible this
spring/summer to undertake early stage exploration on regional targets,
culminating ultimately, in first pass drilling of the best targets. In addition,
early this summer, we plan to undertake basic geological mapping, sampling and a
deep IP geophysical survey on our 6,900 hectare ROK Coyote copper-gold project
contiguous to Imperial Metals' Red Chris copper-gold property in northwest
British Columbia. We hope to see diamond drilling there as well, before the snow
comes." 


The recommended $1.1 million Phase One (2012) Poplar Deposit program comprises
metallurgical testing of the deposit and verification and upgrade of historic
data by re-drilling 10 holes to 300 metre depths in the Main and East Zones.
Subject to anticipated positive results, a Phase Two program of diamond drilling
is recommended in follow-up. That program and associated funding requirements is
outlined in the Report.


About the Property 

Lions Gate Metals Inc. has a 100% interest in the 77,705 hectare, 196 claim
Poplar Copper-Gold-Silver Porphyry Property located in western-central British
Columbia, Canada, approximately 35 kilometres northeast of the Huckleberry
copper-molybdenum mine, between Huckleberry and the mining resource town of
Houston. The Huckleberry Mine is operated by the Imperial Metals led consortium
named Huckleberry Mines Ltd. The Poplar Deposit on the Property has an NI 43-101
compliant Indicated Resource of 171.3 million tonnes grading 0.28% Cu, 0.008%
Mo, 0.08 g/t Au and 2.30 g/t Ag (0.40% CuEq), plus an Inferred Resource of 209.0
million tonnes grading 0.23% Cu, 0.004% Mo, 0.06 g/t Au and 3.62 g/t Ag (0.33%
CuEq).  


Additional diamond drilling is planned to further define and upgrade this
resource. Near-surface mineralization and significant gold and silver presence
are Poplar Deposit highlights. Eight other regional copper-gold porphyry targets
have been identified on the Property. 


About ROK Coyote

Lions Gate Metals Inc. is earning into a 75% interest in the 6,900 hectare, 19
claim ROK-Coyote copper-gold project adjacent to Imperial Metals' Red Chris
project which has reported, measured an indicated reserves of 446.1 million
tonnes at 0.36% Cu and 0.29% g/t Au, plus inferred resources of 268.7 million
tonnes grading 0.30% Cu and 0.27 g/t Au. The Company considers ROK Coyote to be
one of BC's most highly prospective copper-gold alkalic porphyry targets
amenable to pit and bulk underground mining.
