Victoria Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: VIT) "Victoria" or the
"Company") is pleased to report additional impressive drill hole
results from the ongoing gold exploration drilling program at its
100% owned Dublin Gulch property Yukon, Canada. Recently received
assay results from drill holes at three targets - Steiner, Olive
and Shamrock - at the Dublin Gulch property have highlighted
several thick intervals of significant mineralization, and the
presence of high grade mineralization at the Olive and Shamrock
zones. Drilling assay highlights include:
-- Steiner: 16.77 meters (m) averaging 2.11 grams Au per tonne (g/t gold)
(contained in a broader zone that averages 1.37 g/t gold over a 28.95 m)
(hole DG11-441C);
-- Olive: 15.16 m averaging 3.64 g/t gold and 21.91 m averaging 2.48 g/t
gold (within a zone 35.05 m averaging 1.64 g/t gold) (hole DG11-445C);
and
-- Shamrock: 3.05 m averaging 21.59 g/t gold (hole DG11-450C).
Mr. John McConnell, President and CEO of Victoria Gold,
commented, "With several years of intensive exploration at Dublin
Gulch we continue to discover substantial mineralization that will
complement our proposed Eagle Gold Mine."
This latest group of drill hole assays are from the ongoing
diamond core and reverse circulation drilling program that the
Company has been conducting since mid-March, 2011. All of the drill
hole results contained within this news release are from "step-out"
holes at Dublin Gulch exploration targets peripheral to the Eagle
Gold Deposit, which is currently the subject of an ongoing
Feasibility Study.
Steiner Zone
Steiner is directly adjacent to the Eagle Gold Deposit and with
similar mineralization is a potential satellite pit to the proposed
Eagle Gold Mine.
The results from the third hole completed at the Steiner zone,
which is located northwest of the main portion of the Eagle Gold
Deposit, further demonstrates continuity of strong gold
mineralization on the southern side of the target zone, and where
the limits of mineralization have not yet been discovered. The
results complement those of adjoining holes DG11-429C and DG11-432C
(see news release of August 12, 2011). The most recent drill
results from Steiner are:

(i)Apparent true width of mineralized zone is approximately
80% of intersection length.
Olive Zone
Assay results were received for six holes that were drilled in
the south-central part of the Olive Zone, which is situated
approximately three kilometers (km) northeast of the Eagle gold
deposit, and within the Potato Hills Mineral Trend. Significant
mineralization was encountered in several of the holes, with
substantial mineralization intersected over appreciable widths in
two separate zones in hole DG11-445C. The most recent drill results
from Olive are:

90%; the apparent true width of hole DG11-445 is 50% of the
intersection length.
(i)DG11-440C did not cut significant mineralization.
Shamrock Zone
Significant mineralization was encountered in two of the eight
holes completed to date in the Shamrock Zone, four km northeast of
the Eagle Gold Deposit and one km east of the Olive. Like the
adjoining Olive Zone, Shamrock is part of the Potato Hills Mineral
Trend. The most recent drill results from Shamrock are:

About the Dublin Gulch Project
Victoria Gold's 100%-owned Dublin Gulch gold property is
situated in the central Yukon Territory, Canada, approximately 375
kilometers north of the capital city of Whitehorse, and
approximately 40 kilometers from the town of Mayo. The property is
accessible by road year-round, and is located within Yukon Energy's
electrical grid. The Company has constructed a 100 person
all-season camp at the project site.
The property covers an area in excess of 400 square kilometers,
and is the site of the Company's Eagle Gold Deposit, which has been
estimated to host a NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource of 222
million tonnes averaging 0.68 grams of gold per tonne, containing
4.86 million ounces of gold in the "Indicated" category and a
further 78 million tonnes averaging 0.60 grams of gold per tonne,
containing 1.49 million ounces of gold in the "Inferred"
category.
Gold, silver and base metal mineralization are present at
numerous localities within the Dublin Gulch property, in addition
to the Eagle Gold Deposit. Reconnaissance-scale exploration
programs are underway throughout the property area. Recently core
drilling was conducted in the vicinity at the Olive, Shamrock, and
Popeye prospects, which are situated within the prospective Potato
Hills Mineral Trend that was discovered by Victoria during the 2010
exploration season. Additionally, early in September Victoria Gold
will commence with a first-pass core drilling program at the newly
reported Rex-Peso exploration target, which is situated along the
western projection of the Potato Hills Mineral Trend. Overall the
Dublin Gulch property and the Potato Hills Mineral Trend are the
sites of a number of high quality and high priority exploration
targets.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance and Assaying
Sample results cited in this news release were obtained from
core and reverse circulation holes drilled by independent
contractors under the direct supervision of Victoria Gold's
geologic staff. Samples were delivered to the Whitehorse, Yukon
sample preparation facility of ALS Minerals, and the analytical
determinations were performed by the staff of the North Vancouver,
BC laboratory of ALS Minerals.
All of the samples collected from the drilling program are
managed in strict compliance with the Company's QA/QC (quality
control/quality assurance) program, which has been reviewed and
approved by a highly experienced geologist with an independent
engineering firm.
