Adventure Gold Drills 10.4 g/t Au Over 10 Metres at Val-d'Or East - Pascalis Project, Quebec

MONTREAL, July 31, 2014 - Adventure Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: AGE) is pleased to announce a second set of positive drilling results on its 100%-owned advanced-stage Val-d'Or East - Pascalis gold project (the "Project"). The new results come from four holes totaling 542.5 metres of the recently completed 15 holes drill program (2,966 metres). These four holes were designed to explore the West Dyke close to the Main Dyke mined at the former L.C. Beliveau gold mine (Figures 1 and 2). These holes confirmed the presence of significant gold intercepts in this dyke and in the adjacent ENE shallow dipping gold zones to the west of the dyke. All the results are presented in Table 1 and best drilling intercepts, in core length, are presented below:

• Hole PC-14-72: 10.4 g/t Au over 10 metres in an intercept grading 2.6 g/t Au over 61.3 metres in the West Dyke, and 3.6 g/t Au over 8.0 metres within an ENE shallow dipping gold zone;


• Hole PC-14-73: 3.2 g/t Au over 6 metres in an intercept grading 1.1 g/t Au over 40 metres in the West Dyke, and 5.1 g/t Au over 3.9 metres within an ENE shallow dipping gold zone;


• Hole PC-14-75: 4.1 g/t Au over 4 metres, and 1.2 g/t Au over 8 metres within ENE shallow dipping gold zones.

"The new results continue to confirm the strong continuity of the New Beliveau gold system over at least 350 metres by 250 metres, close to the surface. The significant gold mineralization identified in the West Dyke and in the ENE zones indicate a robust gold system for grade and width that remains open to the south and to the west. The New Beliveau gold deposit provides significant upsides for exploration since the potential of expanding the gold zones has now been shown. We will be focusing on advancing this potential development project this year with additional important work," stated Marco Gagnon, President and CEO of Adventure Gold.

The holes PC-14-72 and PC-14-73 adequately tested the West Dyke however the holes PC-14-74 and PC-14-75 were stopped in underground mining opening before reaching the dyke. The thickness of the West Dyke mineralization varies from 5 to 12 metres and can be traced over a strike length of at least 350 metres along a N340º-trending orientation. All four holes intersected the ENE shallow-dipping gold zones and particularly of interest, hole PC-14-75 confirmed the extension of the ENE shallow-dipping gold zones up to 350 metres to the south.

The Val-d'Or East Project:

The 100%-owned Project is located 25 kilometres East of Val-d'Or in the eastern portion of the Val-d'Or - Malartic gold district in the heart of the gold-rich Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Project consists of 107 mining titles totaling 3,708 hectares located and it is also adjacent to the producing Beaufor Gold Mine held by Richmont Mines. The Project was the site of a profitable gold production from 1989 to 1993 when Cambior Inc. (currently IAMGold Corp.) mined the New Pascalis gold deposit (Lucien C. Beliveau Mine). In recent years, 24,000 metres of drilling was completed to delineate new gold resources. Best drill results show widths ranging from 60 metres to 300 metres with grades between 1-3 g/t Au. Higher grades zones grading up to 12.9 g/t Au over 8 metres, 4.8 g/t Au over 33.1 metres and 2.7 g/t Au over 65.1 metres. The 2013 Initial NI 43-101 resources estimate outlines: 770,000 ounces of gold at 2.63 g/t Au in the inferred category. In order to evaluate the open-pit potential and the economics of the resources, a Whittle pit run was completed on the resources sitting between the surface and a depth of 225 metres. The total in-pit inferred resources are 4.34 Mt at 2.4 g/t Au containing 332,000 ounces of gold using a cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t Au. The underground potential below the Whittle Open Pit at 1.5 g/t Au cut-off grade is 3.91 Mt at 3.13 g/t Au containing 394,000 ounces of gold.


Quality control

During the ongoing drilling program, assay samples were taken from the NQ core and sawed in half, with one-half sent to Agat Laboratory, a commercial laboratory and the other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program was applied to all samples; which includes insertion of mineralized standards and blank samples for each batch of 20 samples. The gold analyses were completed by fire-assay with an atomic absorption finish on 50 grams of materials. Repeats were carried out by fire-assay followed by gravimetric testing on each sample containing 3.0 g/t gold or more. Total gold analyses (Metalic Sieve) were carried out on the samples which presented a great variation of their gold contents or the presence of visible gold.

Mr. Jules Riopel, Vice-President Exploration and Acquisitions of Adventure Gold acting as the qualified person (as defined by NI 43-101) reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release.
