Additional Information on Santa Fe Gold Exploration Project, Mineral County, Nevada


Until the conference call, the following information is designed to address common questions asked by investors since the release by Victoria of the gold assay information from diamond hole BH-2 on October 22, 2009:


Question 1: Does Barrick Gold Corp. "Barrick" have a back-in right on the Santa Fe property?


No, Homestake Mining Company of California (the indirect subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation that Victoria is under agreement with on the Santa Fe Project) does not have a back-in right. Victoria has the right to earn up to a 70% interest in the Santa Fe property from Homestake.


Question 2: Was BH-2 drilled down the known plunge of a breccia pipe?


BH-2 was drilled at azimuth 74 degrees and inclination -53 degrees to test the geometry of a postulated structural intersection zone and post-mineral offsets located near and to the northeast of the Santa Fe open pit. Detailed mapping of the open pit and detailed geologic logging of BH-1 indicate post-mineral faulting of the mineralized structural zone (previously described "breccia pipe"). Unfortunately BH-2 did not reach the target depth due to poor drilling conditions. The primary purpose of this and future drill holes is to better define the mineralized zones and post-mineral offsets to expand the resource.


Question 3: Is the mineralized zone intersected by BH-2 constrained both horizontally and vertically by previously-drilled holes?


If Victoria believed that the mineralization was constrained both horizontally and vertically, there would be little room for upside potential at Santa Fe. The indicated post-mineal faulting that locally offsets the mineralization is the primary target the already completed holes and future drilling. The intersection of ash flow tuff and then additional deeper mineralization in BH-2 indicates that these younger rocks have been downdropped on post-mineral faults. These offset mineralized zones are the target of Victoria's drill program and could extend the mineralization both horizontally and vertically.


Question 4: Aren't the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization intersected in BH-2 challenging?


Victoria has not yet tested the metallurgical characteristics of BH-1 and BH-2. The gold mineralization in BH-2 was primarily contained in sulfides. Tests by earlier operators indicated that advanced processing, such as roasting were required to liberate the gold. Until further metallurgical testing is completed, Victoria's investors should assume that the mineralization in BH-2 has these same characteristics.


Question 5: Where will Victoria drill the next hole at Santa Fe?


The Company is further evaluating the data generated by holes BH-1 and BH-2 along with detailed geologic mapping. The next drill holes will be located and oriented to further define the mineralization, complex structural setting and the post-mineral faults.


The location of the holes in any future drill program will be released as soon as practical.


Question 6: What were the silver grades in hole BH-2?


The silver grades intersected in BH-2 were not significant, with almost all assays returning less than 30 g per tonne. For information purposes, the silver assay information will soon be added to the Victoria website.
