Lions Gate Metals Inc. Reaffirms Commitment to Work With the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs

Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the "Company")
continues to work with the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs to implement the terms
of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between LGM and the Office of the
Wet'suwet'en on August 11, 2009.


LGM understands that there are unresolved issues of political representation and
jurisdiction between the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs and a particular house
group within the Wet'suwet'en Nation. This issue was raised on April 6, 2010 by
a number of individuals who attended the site of planned exploration activities
at the Company's Poplar Property. Pending resolution of this internal dispute
Lions Gate has put its proposed activities on hold.


Lions Gate has an ongoing positive relationship with the Wet'suwet'en, stemming
from the Memorandum of Understanding, and will continue to apply this
progressive approach throughout the development of the Poplar Property.


"Our Company will make every effort to involve all local First Nations interests
and address concerns in a positive manner throughout every stage of
development," said Blair McIntyre, Lions Gate Metals' Director of Operations.
"Lions Gate Metals will respect the internal discussions between the
Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs and this group, and allow these discussions to
continue without our interference. We view the Poplar Project as a viable and
long-term opportunity for First Nations, local communities and our Company,"
concluded McIntyre.
