Welcome to the Apple Community.

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

As Winston said, you have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion in order to get AirPlay Mirroring on the computer > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 You can purchase Mountain Lion in the App Store, and make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading.

If you want to use Lion, you can purchase AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
