Victoria Gold Corp. Achieves Another Important Milestone at Eagle Gold Project, Yukon

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire - Dec. 20, 2010) - Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: VIT) ("Victoria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the submission of the final Eagle Gold ("Eagle") Project Proposal to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Board. This significant milestone engages the formal Yukon environmental assessment review process and is an important pre-cursor to the permitting of full-scale mine development.

The Project Proposal details the planned activities by the Company for the development of an open-pit heap leach gold mine at Eagle with production starting in 2013 averaging approximately 170,000 ounces of gold per year with cash operating costs below US$500/oz as outlined in a positive pre-feasibility study (see March 9, 2010 Victoria news release).

"Victoria\'s submission of the Project Proposal is a major step toward the development of a gold mine at Eagle" said Chad Williams, President, CEO and Director. "We would like to thank Stantec and the entire Eagle team for their tremendous work and effort in delivering the Project Proposal."


Next Steps at Eagle

The next steps at Eagle include the completion of a final feasibility study expected to commence shortly, continuation towards an Impact-Benefit Agreement with the First Nation of Na-cho Nyak Dun, and application for Quartz Mining and Water Licenses to support mine development.
