Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 1, 2016) - Northern Lion Gold Corp. (TSXV: NL) (the "Company")
announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a plan to proceed with a consolidation of its outstanding common shares
(each, a "Share") on the basis of two (2) pre-consolidation Shares for each one (1) post-consolidation Share (the

operations for a company classified as a mining issuer. The notice advised that the Company has been placed on notice for transfer
to NEX with a deadline of September 23, 2016. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to remain listed
on the Exchange and is actively searching for opportunities with interested parties to create a value enhancing transaction that
would enable the Company to meet the continued listing requirements. The Consolidation is intended to make the Company a more
attractive party for such a transaction.
As at the date hereof, there are a total of 2,962,298 Shares issued and outstanding. Assuming no other change to the issued and
outstanding Shares, if the Consolidation is put into effect, a total of 1,481,149 Shares, subject to adjustments for rounding,
