LVCA Victoria Lake Inc (CE)

Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (OTCBB: LVCA) ("Lake Victoria" or the "Company") commenced a phase two reverse circulation drilling program at the Kinyambwiga gold project (PL4653/2007). Kinyambwiga gold project is located near the eastern side of Lake Victoria in northeastern Tanzania and is approximately 750 kilometers, by road, from the Company's Singida-Londoni gold project.

The initial planned 2,000 meter drill program is expected to test three targets at the Kunanga Prospect area which is situated in the northeastern part of the 30.89 square kilometer Kinyambwiga License.

Kunanga 1 Target

Recent infill trenching has established the existence of at least 2 shear hosted, narrow gold bearing quartz veins that "pinch and swell" along a known strike length of 350 meters. These veins spaced approximately 15 to 20 meters apart and which trend east-northeast and west-southwest, have been partly exposed by small scale mining. Follow-up geophysical surveying, using the Schlumberger Induced Polarization (IP) profiling method, along north-south traverses across the exposed quartz veins was undertaken to secure a geophysical signature of the structure. The survey was then extended out along strike of the quartz veins with the aim of tracing the structure beneath the soil covered plain. Drilling is planned to test the strike extension for a further 200 meters on either side of the quartz veins on 80 meter spaced centres. All boreholes are drilled towards the north at an inclination of -50 degrees.

To date, all three boreholes, collared to the east of the exposed quartz veins, have intersected the southern quartz vein in which varying amounts of pyrite have been noted from on site panning of the reverse circulation drill chips. Previous drilling of the quartz veins has shown that gold is associated with pyrite mineralization and as free metallic gold. One borehole, drilled midway along strike was extended in depth to intersect the northern lens and encountered 4 meters of moderate pyrite at 86 meters down hole.

Drilling out along strike to the west has traced the southern quartz vein together with a number of subsidiary narrow quartz veins for a distance of 200 meters. Two boreholes were drilled along the westernmost fence (Section 580980E) to test the strike continuation of the quartz veins as well as the IP chargeability anomaly situated 50 meters to the south of the southern quartz vein. Both holes intersected narrow and oxidized zones of quartz veining reflecting both the structure and the IP anomaly. Assay results will confirm whether these quartz veins carry gold.

One hole is planned to test an IP chargeability anomaly located 50 meters to the north from the central part of Kunanga 1, as well as the influence of the crosscutting northwest-southeast IP structure. This anomaly lies parallel to the northern quartz vein of the Kunanga 1 prospect.

Kunanga 2 Target

Three holes spaced 80 meters apart are planned to test the area beneath a +20 meter deep artisanal shaft, located some 500 meters to the north of Kunanga 1. Schlumberger IP profiling across this area and out to the east has revealed a number of distinct chargeability anomalies that lie on an east-northeast trend. A further two scissor holes are planned to explore this trend some 400 meters to the east where abundant quartz float has been mapped on surface and evidence of small scale mine workings are noted.

Kunanga 3 Target

This prospect, covering an area of 200 meters x 100 meters of small scale mining pits, is situated 1 kilometer to the north of Kunanga 1. Previous drilling on the northern side of the workings failed to encounter any significant mineralization. However a single rotary air blast (RAB) hole drilled in the central to southern part of the small scale workings returned 2.06 g/t gold over 9 meters. Schlumberger IP profiling suggests that the area lies at the intersection of an east-northeast and northwest trending structure, similar to the IP pattern observed at Kunanga 1. Four 80 meter spaced drill fences have been planned to fully test this artisanal, near surface mining site.

Further updates are expected to be provided as drilling progresses on the three Kunanga prospects within the large Kinyambwiga License.

In the meantime, a ground magnetometer geophysical survey is underway at the Company's nearby 72.95 square kilometer Suguti Licence (PL3966/2006) which is located about 15 kilometers north of the Kinyambwiga gold project.

About the Company

Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. is working to create another gold mine in the world famous Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt, Tanzania, East Africa. Tanzania is Africa's third largest gold producer, behind South Africa and Ghana, but also has reserves of uranium, nickel and coal. Gold exports alone earned it $1.076 billion in 2009, up from $932.4 million the previous year. Lake Victoria holds eleven prospective gold projects and five uranium projects within its Tanzania property portfolio. Additional information regarding the Company is available on the corporate website at: www.lakevictoriaminingcompany.com.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that the potential quantity and grade of the 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.
