Thorin's Halls in the Ered Luin?

Ever since first watching the Hobbit AUJ I wondered: where did Thorin and his kin live in the Blue Mountains while in exile? These are some theory places I found:
-I play Lord of the Rings Online, and that game depicts Thorin's halls (the supposed name of Thorin's exile home) as being in the Southernmost parts of the Northern Blue Mountains, near the estuary of the river Lune.
-The LOTR wiki tells Thorin's halls is built on the ancient foundations of Nogrod (this might overlap with Lotro, as Nogrod's foundations could have been meant to be located in the Southernmost parts of the Northern Blue Mountains).
-Tolkien Gateway tells Thorin's halls is located a little north of the Little Lune river (the western tributary of the Lune river).
1. Which one of these is true according to Tolkien? If he hasn't told the exact location, which one of the mentioned above seems most probable to you?
2. In the Hobbit AUJ Dwalin tells Gandalf 'Thorin has gone to a meeting of their kin in Ered Luin, in the north'. Could this be a reference that the actual location is really near the Little lune river (at least according to the movies)?
