Adventure Gold Announces the Beginning of a new Drilling Program on the Dubuisson Property

Adventure Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AGE) (the "Company"), is pleased to report that
Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited (TSX:AEM) ("AEM") has started a surface diamond
drilling program on the Dubuisson property (the "Property") located in the
western part of the Val d'Or mining camp, Quebec. The Property is contiguous to
the Goldex Mine property (Measured and indicated resources of 2.1M Ounces at 1.8
g/t of gold; Press Release February 16, 2012, AEM) and also straddles a 5-km
segment of the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake Gold break.

The ongoing drilling work will test the Quebec Explorers Gold Deposit lateral
extensions. Six (6) drill holes, totaling approximately 2,500 metres, should be
drilled during this program. A geological and location map (Figure 1) and a
surface map including a longitudinal section (Figure 2) of the proposed drilling
can be found on AGE's website at www.adventure-gold.com. Two (2) drill holes (A
and B) totaling approximately 1,070 metres will explore the west down plunge
extension of the deposit between 100 to 300 metres deep. Three holes (3) holes
totaling approximately 980 metres will test the east down plunge extension of
the gold system up to 400 metres deep (C, D and E). Additional drilling (at
least 450 metres) will be allowed to follow the best drilling intercepts. The
exploration program on the Property will be funded and managed by AEM.

The Dubuisson Property

The Dubuisson property, covering 870 hectares, is located at 8 km West of Val
d'Or, Quebec. The Property encompasses the Quebec Explorers Gold Deposit
(historical resources non-compliant with NI 43-101, totaling 261,000 t at 6.6
g/t Au; source: MRNF GM 55414). This estimate has never been reviewed by AGE or
AEM technical teams. The Quebec Explorers gold system exceeds 20 metres in
thickness and can be traced for more than 800 metres along the strike length.
The best reported historical drill intersections includes: 19.9 g/t Au over 5.9
m, 8.2 g/t Au over 11.1 m, 6.7 g/t Au over 12.1 m, 4.6 g/t Au over 17.1 m and
11.0 g/t Au over 6.7 m (MRNF SIGEOM database). Last year AEM's drilling results
include 4.8 g/t Au over 6.0 m and 4.3 g/t Au over 4.4 m in the vicinity of the
historical drilling. Drill intersections are reported as core length and their
true thickness remains to be determined. The gold mineralization is associated
with feldspar porphyry and diorite dykes cross cutting deformed ultramafic
rocks.

Dubuisson Option Agreement

On July, 22, 2010, Adventure Gold Inc. announced the closing of a partnership
with Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. through the signing of a selling and an option
agreement (the "Agreement") on the AGE's 100% owned Dubuisson property. Under
the terms of the Agreement, AEM acquired 51% of AGE's right, title and interest
in the Property by making, on signature, a cash payment of $100,000 and issuing
15,000 shares of AEM to AGE.

Also under the terms of the Agreement, AEM may acquire an additional interest of
up to 14% of AGE's right, title and interest in the Property by spending up to
$4M in exploration work on the Property over a period of five (5) years from the
effective date of the Agreement with a minimum of $600,000 of work to be
completed or paid in cash to AGE before the end of the first two (2) years.

As part of the Agreement and following the exercise of the second option, AEM
may acquire an additional interest, which brings AEM up to 70% and AGE to 30%
interest in the Property by completing a Bankable Feasibility Study. AEM will
act as the operator for all exploration carried out on the Property during the
option period.
