VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 27, 2009) - Lions Gate Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LG - News) announced today that it has completed a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") technical report for the Company's El Toro Polymetallic Project in Telkwa, British Columbia. The report has been prepared by company's independent geologist Jean Pautler, P.Geo. (JP Exploration Services Inc.). The 2008 program involved mapping, prospecting, rock and soil geochemical sampling, GPS surveying of previous diamond drill hole collars and underground and surface workings, an evaluation of the property, followed by a 1495 line km airborne magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical survey. The program verified work completed by previous operators, located previous drill holes and many of the old workings, indicated potential for the discovery of a subvolcanic copper-gold-silver (arsenic, antimony) deposit similar to Equity Silver and for calc-alkaline porphyry copper+/-molybdenum+/-gold(silver) and commonly associated epithermal gold-silver mineralization, and identified targets for follow up.

The 2008 airborne geophysical survey delineated a number of northeast trending electromagnetic anomalies in Hunter Basin that suggest continuity to sulphide mineralization along the structures which host high grade copper-silver-gold mineralization. The survey detected known mineralization in Hankin Basin and delineated additional similar unexplored electromagnetic anomalies that require follow up. Two electromagnetic high anomalies, one coincident with a magnetic low, were identified in the Denys Creek area which may be indicative of additional high sulphide veins outboard of the Sunsets stock. An electromagnetic high anomaly was detected peripheral to the MSJ stock which could be related to an associated high sulphide vein or mineralized dyke. A 2 km diameter magnetic low in the Starr Creek area was identified which may reflect an altered intrusion related to the skarn mineralization at the Princess showing.

El Toro Polymetallic Project:

The 34,356 hectare El Toro Project area, is located in the Omineca Mining Division, 30 kilometres southwest of Telkwa, which is 11 km southeast of Smithers in central British Columbia. The principal deposit type present on the El Toro Project is the subvolcanic copper-gold-silver (arsenic, antimony) type, also referred to as transitional or intrusion related polymetallic stockwork and vein types. The Equity Silver past producing mine, 60 km southeast of El Toro, is an example of this type of deposit and produced 33.8 million tonnes of 0.4% copper, 64.9 g/t Ag, and 0.46 g/t Au. The El Toro Project covers a well-mineralized area southwest of Telkwa that includes 36 Minfile occurrences, including 3 past producers and 1 developed prospect in Hunter Basin, 6 prospects and 26 showings, as documented by the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch.

In 2009 previous unpublished data was uncovered for a single diamond drill hole on the War Eagle showing indicating a result of 0.70 oz/t Au over 10 feet, which had not been followed up. At the War Eagle stock copper-silver mineralization occurs peripheral to a porphyry intrusion as is the case at the Huckleberry Mine. Significant porphyry copper mineralization was also uncovered within the Loljuh stock and an MMI soil survey was completed over the MSJ porphyry stock in 2009. Results are pending.
