Victoria Announces the Sale of the Clear Creek Exploration Property to Golden Predator

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - November 02, 2009) - Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: VIT) ("Victoria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce as part of its ongoing non-core gold asset value optimization program, the sale of its Clear Creek exploration property in the Yukon Territory, Canada to Golden Predator Royalty & Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GPD) ("Golden Predator") for a total consideration of up to $1,050,000 cash, 1,050,000 shares of Golden Predator stock, plus a work commitment of $3 million and a retained royalty.

"The sale of Clear Creek is positive for Victoria", said Chad Williams, President, CEO, and Director. "The property has exploration promise, but our focus in the Yukon is on the large, advanced Eagle Gold Project. The sale of Clear Creek to Golden Predator, an entrepreneurial company already active in gold elsewhere in the Yukon, allows Victoria to retain a sizeable economic interest in the property."

William M. Sheriff, Chairman and CEO of Golden Predator stated: "The acquisition of Clear Creek presents us with an important advanced exploration project in the emerging Tintina Gold Belt, as well as the opportunity to work with Victoria Gold, one of the leading companies in the Yukon. We look forward to taking this established Project and advancing it through an aggressive drill program to commence in the second quarter of 2010."

Clear Creek is composed of 77 Quartz claims in the Dawson Mining District and is 100% owned by Victoria.
