Discovery Ventures Inc. Announces the Acquisition of A Gold-Copper Property in the Vicinity of Taseko's Prosperity Copper Deposit, BC

VANCOUVER, April 12, 2012 - Discovery Ventures Inc. ("Discovery", "DVN" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DVN) is pleased to announce that it has acquired an option to earn a 50% interest in the Big Creek property located approximately 47 kilometres north east of the Taseko Mines (TKO) Prosperity Porphyry copper deposit. The Prosperity deposit is a Gold-Copper porphyry with a 1.0 billion tonne measured and indicated resource with grades of 0.41 g/t gold and .24% copper.

Discovery has targeted this general area as having the potential to host other significant Copper-Gold porphyry. The Big Creek property consists of 15 claims and has an attractive target that is defined by a 300 nT magnetic low. The dimensions of the magnetic low are 8 km N-S by 4 km E-W. This magnetic low appears to be split by a NNW to SSE trending fault passing through its centre. In addition a strong gravity low is coincident with the magnetic low, indicating an intrusive centre.

Discovery will begin an initial exploration program on the Big Creek property this spring. New discoveries and modelling have indicated possible areas of British Columbia that were previously overlooked in the past. Discovery is hoping to option other properties that offer similar exploration potential.

Mr. Mike England states, "I am quite optimistic about this acquisition for Discovery. The potential that exists here is quite exciting with having so much success near by with Prosperity's big Gold-Copper porphyry discovery".
