Adventure Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AGE) ("AGE", the "Corporation") announce that
the National Instrument 43-101 technical report representing the qualifying
report for the recently announced initial resource estimate for the Val-d'Or
East project located in the Abitibi area, Quebec has now been filed on SEDAR and
available on the company's website. Here are some highlights of the study
previously reported by the Corporation on November 21, 2012 along with a new
estimation table for the total in-pit inferred resource with Whittle Pit
Optimization (from surface to 250 metres). All details are included in the final
report.




--  The selected base case inferred resource is 770,000 ounces (9.13 million
    tonnes grading 2.63 g/t Au, capped at 30 g/t), using cut-off grades of 1
    g/t Au (surface to 350 metres depth) and 1.5 g/t Au (350 metres and
    below). SGS Canada Inc. outlined three gold deposits over a 1500-metre
    long strike, up to 900 metres deep and 600 metres wide;

--  In order to verify the open pit potential, further to the base case, a
    Whittle Pit Optimization has been run by SGS Canada Inc. The presented
    scenario has a 0.69 g/t Au marginal cut-off grade with a gold price of
    1500 Cdn$/oz.troy, an ore mining price of 4.5 Cdn$/t, a mining recovery
    of 98%, 15% dilution, a processing recovery of 95%, a processing cost
    including G&A and premium costs of 27.5 Cdn$/t. The resulting 3 open
    pits contain a total inferred resource totaling 4.34 Mt at 2.38 g/t with
    330,000 gold ounces. Below the Whittle optimized pits (Underground
    potential), the inferred resource is 390,000 gold ounces (3.91 million
    tonnes grading 3.13 g/t Au, capped at 30 g/t) using a cut-off grade of
    1.5 g/t Au;

--  The mineralized system is still open at depth and laterally. Also of
    interest, additional resources may be discovered inside the conceptual
    Whittle open pits as approximately 50% of the volume was not drilled
    yet. The dyke-type mineralization has a good angle for both open pit and
    underground selectivity and mining. The past operation at the Beliveau
    mine suggests that the mining recovery should be very good on the dykes
    of the New Beliveau, North and Highway deposits. The thickness of the
    flat structures is also sufficient for open pit or underground
    consideration. The geotechnical aspects of the project seem good for
    both open pit and underground mining at this point. The project is
    located 26 kilometers from Val-d'Or and therefore close to all required
    infrastructure for a proper development. Key infrastructure for the
    project: a currently existing 340-metre deep shaft, 660 metres of ramp,
    underground development drifts on five levels, industrial access road,
    power line, a railway within 1.5 kilometres and custom milling
    facilities in Val-d'Or;

--  SGS concluded that the Pascalis-Colombiere property, part of the
    company's Val-d'Or East project, has supported profitable commercial
    mining operations in the past. While some resource was mined on the
    property, some remain and should be evaluated. Significant additional
    exploration drilling is clearly warranted on the property to increase
    the quality and quantity of gold resources. SGS recommended to continue
    the drilling with a 20,000 metres program on the New Beliveau, North and
    Highway gold deposits with the main objectives to cover the volume
    inside the conceptual Whittle pits and extend the resource outside the
    pits shell up to 250 metres depth. SGS Geostat considers that mineral
    resources defined on the property meet the requirement of reasonable
    prospect of economic extraction. However, it should be understood that
    the mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
    demonstrated economic viability. The mineral resources presented in the
    technical report are estimates based on available sampling and on
    assumptions and parameters available to the authors dated November 15,
    2012. More details and parameters used for the resource estimate are
    available in the NI 43-101 technical report.



Qualified persons

The following people have reviewed this press release and approved the technical
report and are deemed qualified persons under NI 43-101: Claude Duplessis, Eng.
and Yann Camus, Eng., SGS Canada Inc. 


Jules Riopel, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration and Acquisitions, acting as the
Company's qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed this press
release and has supervised the exploration program on the Val-d'Or East project.


The Val-d'Or East Project

The Val-d'Or East project consists of the 100%-owned Pascalis-Colombiere, Senore
and Beaufor North properties. With the Beaufor West and Pascalis Extension
properties, Adventure Gold owns a total of 107 mining claims covering a surface
area of 3,708 hectares in the area. From 1989 to 1993, the Pascalis-Colombiere
property was the site of gold production at the L.C. Beliveau Mine, where
Cambior Inc. (now IAMGOLD) mined the New Beliveau gold deposit. A total of 1.8
Mt of ore was extracted at a grade of 3.17 g/t Au, from the surface to 300
metres depth (total of 167,000 ounces of gold from the main diorite dyke,
official production from Cambior postmortem report, Nov. 1996). 


Profile

The Corporation is a mineral exploration company focused on discovering and
developing high-quality gold deposits in the Abitibi region located in eastern
Canada - one of the richest gold mines areas in the world. The Corporation has
become, in a few years, an important player in the mining exploration industry
with one of the best portfolio of exploration properties along the main
gold-bearing structures of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Company is exploring
mainly close to gold mines where the mining production infrastructures are
already existent, which distinguishes it from several other exploration
companies. The Corporation's exploration team are mining professionals having
worked previously for well-established producing companies and understand the
industry challenges. The Corporation owns 100% of the rights on its three main
projects namely: Val-d'Or East, Detour Quebec and Casa-Cameron. The Val-d'Or
East flagship project encompasses the Pascalis-Colombiere property where Cambior
Inc. (now IAMGOLD) was producing gold between 1989 and 1993 at the Beliveau
Mine. Close to the former mine, the Corporation recently discovered a
significant new gold system and works actively in its development. As disclosed
in its latest financial statements, the Corporation is well financed to apply
its business plan.
