LVCA Victoria Lake Inc (CE)

Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (OTCBB: LVCA) ("Lake Victoria" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a further detailed update on the Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program that was recently completed at the Singida-Londoni gold project in Tanzania.

An initial program of 79 drill holes totalling 6,416 meters tested depth extensions below five zones of artisanal gold mining contained within a 5 kilometer long, northwest trending shear zone.

Sambaru 1, the last of the 5 drill targets to be tested, is located about 1.2 kilometers southeast of Sambaru 2 target, in the southeastern part of the project area. The artisanal workings at Sambaru 1, unlike the other 4 targets in hilly terrain, lie on the Singida plains, and appear to be offset about 300 meters to the northeast from the main shear zone that hosts Sambaru 2 to 5 targets. Due to this offset, it is possible that Sambaru 1, which is covered by a 10 to 15 meter thick layer of alluvial gravels, may represent a new mineralized zone. Artisanal miners have sunk a number of +20 meter deep shafts through the alluvial gravels to access narrow, gold-bearing quartz veins along a strike length of 160 meters.

Three boreholes, located on 80 meter spaced northeast trending drill fences, were drilled to test the width, grade and strike extent of the Sambaru 1 gold bearing reef. The three holes intersected greenstone hosted gold bearing arsenopyrite in oxidised fracture zones. Occasional flakes of suspected visible gold were present in panned samples. The best suspected visible gold is present in a borehole that penetrated the central most part of the artisanal workings. This hole contains two separate 2 meter wide zones and a 7 meter wide zone; both zones contain visible gold and moderate amounts of arsenopyrite. The second and third Sambaru 1 boreholes, located on either side of the first hole intersected highly oxidised shear zones and minor amounts of arsenopyrite. No artisanal pits occur along strike to the current workings, suggesting that the mineralised zone may be of limited strike length. However, further exploration would be required along strike of workings to explore the structural trends, as seen from the ground magnetic survey, beneath the soil cover of the Singida plain.

After completing three holes at Sambaru 1, the drill returned to Sambaru 3 to complete an additional 2 infill holes. Both of these holes, inclined -50 degrees to the southwest, were spaced 40 meters on either side of section 2500W which had returned mineralized intercepts of 1.78 g/t Au over 7 meters, 1.15 g/t Au over 21 meters and 2.17 g/t Au over 3 meters (See Press Release 13 October 2010). These holes, aimed to test a geological model of a south-westerly plunging ore shoot, were drilled to intersect the suspected ore shoot at different elevations in order to confirm an interpolated 30 degrees plunge angle.

The borehole collared 40 meters west of Section 2500W intersected abundant quartz veinlets and suspected visible gold within the upper oxidised part of the borehole from 0 to 36 meters down-hole. The borehole drilled to the east of Section 2500W was aimed to intersect this mineralized zone at a vertical depth of 60 meters below surface. Mineralization, although sporadic, was intersected from 65 to 85 meters down-hole which corresponds to the targeted 60 meters expected vertical depth. The current drilling defined a southwest plunge of the mineralized zone. Additional drilling will be required to substantiate the geological model and to further follow the down-dip extension of the mineralization.

All samples from this last phase of drilling have been submitted to the SGS laboratory in Mwanza for gold analysis and results will be released as they become available.

With the completion of the initial Singida drill program the drill rig is now being mobilised to the Company's Kinyambwiga gold project near the eastern shore of Lake Victoria. Kinyambwiga is about 750 kilometers by road north of the Londoni-Singida gold project. A 2,000 meter reverse circulation drill program has been planned to test 3 targets at Kinyambwiga prior to the onset of the short Tanzanian rainy season.Further up-dates will be provided once drilling is underway.

The reader is cautioned that the potential quantity and grade of the regional exploration target is conceptual in nature; it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the exploration target being delineated as a mineral resource and there is no guarantee that these resources, if delineated, will be economic or sufficient to support a commercial mining operation. The Company's production objectives are intended to provide an indication of management's current expectations and are still conceptual in nature. It is uncertain that it will be established that these resources will be converted into economically viable mining reserves. Until a feasibility study has been completed, there is no certainty that these objectives will be met.
