Victoria Gold Reports Drill Hole Intercept of 30.50 m Grading 12.03 g/t Gold from Shamrock Target, Yukon
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 28, 2010) - Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:VIT) ("Victoria" or the "Company") is pleased to provide exploration results from the 2010 summer program conducted at the Company's 100%-owned Dublin Gulch property in the Yukon Territory, Canada.
Diamond drill hole DG10-377C returned an intercept starting 5.6 m below surface of 30.5 m grading 12.03 g/t of gold including 12.2 m grading 27.98 g/t of gold. Several other anomalous gold values were intersected further down this hole including 0.6 m grading 5.68 g/t of gold and 1.7 m grading 10.02 g/t of gold. The total length of the hole was 226 m. Victoria wishes to emphasize that true widths of the gold zones intersected by DG10-377C are undetermined pending confirmation from further drill results.
In the immediate Shamrock exploration target area, anomalous gold values were found on surface over a width of about 100 m and a length of roughly 600 m. Field indications have caused the Company to believe that Shamrock is part of a significant mineralised trend that has been traced for over 7.5 km in length and 3 km in width.
The Company's website (www.vitgoldcorp.com) hosts additional information about DG10-377C including sectional and plan diagrams. Hole DG10-377C is the first hole for which Victoria has received complete assay results from the Shamrock area in 2010.
"The assay results from DG10-377C exceeded our expectations and confirmed to us that the Dublin Gulch property hosts high gold grades", said Chad Williams, CEO, President, and Director. "We expect to receive a large volume of additional exploration results from Shamrock in the near-term -- over 400 samples from 7 other holes drilled at Shamrock are currently being assayed."
Shamrock is located 3 km north-east of the Eagle gold deposit ("Eagle") which is also within the 28 km long by 15 km wide Dublin Gulch property. Eagle hosts a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant probable gold reserve of 1.75 million ounces gold contained in 66.1 million tonnes grading 0.82 g/t calculated using a gold price of $900/oz. An independent positive pre-feasibility study on Eagle was filed by the Company on SEDAR on April 23, 2010 demonstrating planned production starting in 2013 at an average rate of over 170,000 ounces of gold per annum at a total cash cost of under US$500/oz.
Acquisition and Construction of an All-Season 200-Person Camp
Two diamond drill rigs are currently turning on the Dublin Gulch property. Drilling has historically shut-down in October due to weather conditions. However, in order to extend the drilling season and start the preparations of the site for eventual mine construction upon the receipt of permits, the Company has acquired, and plans to install in Q4 2010, a 200-person all-season camp facility for a total cost of approximately $5 million.
