Adventure Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AGE) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce
the acquisition of five gold properties, by staking and map designation, along
the Detour Lake Gold Break in the Haricana-Turgeon Belt, in Abitibi, Canada.
These new property acquisitions, 100%-owned by the Company, further enhance a
growing portfolio of properties and generate new gold projects along major
under-explored gold structures in Abitibi. They consist of 120 claims and cover
an area of 6,651 hectares. These properties are strategically located over 25 km
on the gold break between the Detour Lake mining project (proven and probable
reserves of 8.8M oz Au, estimated from a global measured and indicated resources
of 17.3M oz and inferred resources of 2.4M oz, Detour Lake Gold - 43-101
pre-feasibility report, September 2009) and the Fenelon American Bonanza gold
deposit (measured and indicated resources of 30,200 oz and inferred resources of
11,200 oz - Innovexplo, 43-101 report, 2005).


These new properties have a high potential of discovery similar to the Abitibi
gold mining camps associated with major gold structures. Historical drilling
intersected gold structures, with values ranging up to 18.3 g/t Au over 1.1m, 
gold showings in outcrop ranging up to 54.0 g/t Au, and many significant gold
till anomalies ranging between 1.0 g/t Au and 5.2 g/t Au, and electromagnetic
conductors ("EM") (not adequately tested) have permitted the Company to
selectively target prospective areas favourable for a new discoveries. The
Massicotte, Casgrain and Nantel properties are located along the
Massicotte-Grasset deformation break while the Sicotte property is located to
the east of the Brouillian pluton and the St-Helene felsic complex. For more

Casgrain Property

The Casgrain property spans more than 18 km of the Massicotte-Grasset
deformation break, a gold structure which encompasses many gold intersections
with values of 7.7 g/t Au over 7.2m, 4.8 g/t Au over 13.3m and 24.1 g/t Au over
2.5m on the adjacent property to the west.  This property also encloses the
section of the deformation break known as Lower Detour Lake and its junction
with the Massicotte Fault.  A historical drill hole intersected 18.3 g/t Au over
1.1m on the eastern sector of the Casgrain property.


A compilation of the till geochemical survey on the entire Detour Lake sector
indicated the presence of gold anomalies ranging between 1.0 g/t Au and 3.6 g/t
Au.  Following the dispersal train towards the south-east, historical drill-hole
positions have outlined two distinct bedrock sources.  The first sector is
located to the south-west and is associated with the Lower Detour Lake
deformation zone. The second sector is in the north-west section where the
bedrock source likely corresponds to a deformation zone bordering on a felsic
intrusion.


This property also presents a high potential for discovery of massive sulphide
volcanogenic deposits ("VMS"). Diamond drilling in 1970, defined a felsic centre
of over 4.5 km in length.   To the top of the felsic centre, exhalative horizons
which are highly anomalous in copper and zinc and ranging up to 1.8% Cu, 2.0% Zn
and 7.8 g/t Ag over 1.0m, were observed. Isolated Megatem anomalies located to
the top of felsic centre have remained un-tested and represent future drilling
targets.


Massicotte Property

The Massicotte property is located 15 km from the Detour Lake mining project on
the Quebec and Ontario border, along the Massicotte fault.  The compilation of
the till geochemical survey increased our interest in this sector due to the
presence of significant gold anomalies ranging between 1.0 and 5.2 g/t Au. 
Following a gold dispersal train towards the south-west, historical drill-hole
positions have outlined two distinct bedrock sources.  The most interesting
sector is located to the north-east and is associated with the Massicotte
deformation zone.  The targets are well confined and could be  ready-to-drill.


Sicotte Property

The Sicotte property is located 16 km east of the Selbaie Mine, which produced
53 Mt @ 1% Cu, 1.9% Zn, 0.6 g/t Au and 4.1 g/t Ag between 1982 and 2005.  The
property geology hosted felsic rock related to the Selbaie Mine sequence,
andesitic rocks and mafic and felsic intrusions (quartz-feldspath porphyry)
belonging to the Brouillian volcanic complex. The property encloses three gold
showings of interest including the Ruisseau Twinning showing, characterised by a
network of quartz-tourmaline veins hosted in altered diorite affected by a
carbonate and sericite alteration and a dissemination of pyrite, chalcopyrite
and sphalerite. High gold values ranging between 8 and 54 g/t Au (grab sample)
were identified. An important ductile deformation zone of over 50 meters in
thickness oriented towards the E-W and strongly altered in carbonate and silica
equally affects the diorite of the Ruisseau Twinning showing. In addition, the
property also includes the Lac Sicotte NE showing and a drill intersection
returned values of 2.5 and 2.3 g/t Au over 1.5 and 1.0m respectively.  The
mineralization of these showings are associated with a network of quartz veins
hosted in carbonate and silicified felsic rock and contains dissemination of
pyrite and chalcopyrite. An induced polarization geophysic survey ("IP") is
proposed to define the mineralized system. Drilling will follow to test the
high-priority targets.

Company's "Qualified Person" as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed this press
release.
