Arcturus Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:AZN, “Arcturus”) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on the RB property located in the Finlayson Lake District of Yukon Territory. The drill program will consist of 4 holes and approximately 800m total drilling to test the extent and grade of the copper and gold mineralization on the property. The Yukon Government recently awarded Arcturus a grant under the Yukon Mining Incentive Program to cover part of the cost of the drilling.

The RB property has two showings (JD and DM) with disseminated copper bearing sulphides and gold within Fire Lake Formation volcanic rocks. The Company is aiming to demonstrate with the drilling that the two showings, 1.8 km apart, are part of a continuous sulphide-bearing horizon.

Past results from the showings on the property yielded 1.0% Copper and 0.16 g/t Gold at the DM showing and 0.65% Copper and 0.53 g/t Gold at JD. Soil samples taken on the property outline a broad horizon of anomalous copper (greater than 200 ppm) with strike lengths of 700m and 600m at JD and DM, respectively.

The Company expects drilling to last approximately 2 weeks with results available within a month of completion.
