has provided notice to the Company that it does not intend to make further
payments as outlined in the LOI. 


John Cavanagh, CEO of Canadian Dehua International Mining stated, "We thank
Lions Gate for the opportunity to work on the Poplar Project. Although we were
not able to undertake a drilling program in 2013, we do hope to work with Lions
Gate in the future."


Mr. Arni Johannson further commented, "Although we were happy with the
transaction with Dehua we are equally happy to have another opportunity to work
on this great project. We will keep our lines of communication open with Dehua
and look at all our options moving forward to advance the Poplar project." 


Lions Gate Metals Inc. is a Canadian company with an attractive share structure,
listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Currently debt-free, with projects in
British Columbia, Canada, Lions Gate is actively seeking new global
opportunities in the commodities space. 


Sincerely on behalf of the Board of Directors, 

Arni Johannson, CEO & Chair, Lions Gate Metals Inc.
