LVCA Victoria Lake Inc (CE)

Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. ("Lake Victoria" or the "Company") (OTCBB: LVCA) has provided its 2011 exploration strategy, its plans to pursue certain strategic property acquisitions in the Handeni area of Tanzania and the preparation of National Instrument 43-101 reports on its mineral projects.

Utilizing its Tanzanian technical team, the Company is reviewing several strategic property acquisition opportunities in the Handeni area of Tanzania. Each of the potential property acquisitions would include areas of extensive small scale mining activities. The Handeni Gold District in eastern Tanzania contains numerous artisanal gold discoveries over several hundred kilometres. The recent discovery of Magambazi on Canaco's Handeni Project has upgraded the poorly known area to become a major gold exploration province within Tanzania. There is no assurance that the Company will complete any property acquisitions as planned or at all.

The Company has loaded its 2011 exploration strategy along with drill sections from both, the Singida gold project and Musoma Bunda - Kinyambwiga gold project, onto the Company's corporate website at www.lvcamining.com. The 2011 exploration strategy is located within the corporate presentation within the "News Releases" section of the website and the drill sections are accessed at the top of the Singida project and Musoma Bunda project web pages.

The Company expects that its entire Tanzania exploration team will return to the field on January 14th and exploration is planned at different stages to commence on 11 of the Company's gold prospects throughout the first quarter of 2011. Depending on the specific gold prospect, exploration may include drilling, soil and rock sampling, trenching and pitting, ground magnetic and Induced Polarization geophysical surveys and mapping. The Company's exploration is aimed at advancing one or more of its projects to a commercially feasible resource.

Four NI 43-101 Technical Reports are currently being prepared by the Company's consulting geologists and the Company expects all of them to be completed in January, 2011 specifically for the Singida, Musoma Bunda (Kinyambwiga), Geita and Kalemela gold projects.
