Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the "Company")
announces that it has completed the first tranche of its previously announced
non-brokered private placement of flow-through and non-flow-through units. The

The Company issued 1,200,000 flow-through units to the MineralFields Group at a

share of the Company at a price of $1.00 per share until June 30, 2012.


A cash finder's fee of $75,600, representing 7% of the proceeds raised, was paid
to Limited Market Dealer Inc. in connection with the placement to the
MineralFields Group.


All securities issued or issuable under this tranche of the private placement
are subject to a hold period and may not be traded until October 31, 2010
pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws and the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange.


The Company intends to use the proceeds of the private placement to conduct
exploration on the Company's properties in British Columbia.


"We are very pleased to be entering into this relationship with MineralFields
