A plan view of the location of BH-4 (azimuth 45 degrees, inclination -68 degrees) is located at www.vitgoldcorp.com.


"BH-4 is clearly another exceptional exploration hole from Santa Fe", said Chad Williams, President, CEO, and Director. "This hole was drilled below and at a considerable angle across each of BH-2 (309 m grading 2.25 g/t gold announced October 22, 2009) and BH-3 (284 m grading 2.50 g/t announced January 12, 2010) and thus adds an important new dimension to what appears to be a very large gold system."


Key observations about BH-4:



-- BH-4 was designed to test for gold mineralization and to determine the
spacial relationship between the mineralized zones and the numerous
post-mineral faults located in the area.

-- Most of the mineralized intervals included in the above table occur
within a 231.6 m thick zone of gold mineralization from 181.4 to 413.0 m
depth cut by several post mineral faults, and by dikes that have weak to
no gold mineralization. The average grade of this entire zone is 1.63
g/t Au.

-- The gold mineralization in BH-4 is manifested as veins and breccia zones
with orientations generally ranging from 45 degrees-65 degrees angle to
the core axis.

-- Gold mineralization at Santa Fe remains open along strike and down dip.
The true thickness of the mineralization intersected by BH-4 is not
known at this time due to insufficient drilling to date.




The intended depth of BH-4 was 610 m, but the hole was extended to a down-hole depth of 657 m because of favourable alteration.


Two drills are currently turning at Santa Fe. Drill hole BH-5 is down to 670 m and thus nearing its target depth. Drilling of hole BH-6 recently started with a targeted depth of 610 m. The locations of BH-5 and BH-6 can also be seen at www.vitgoldcorp.com. Drill hole KR-1, which tested another structural intersection zone located northwest of the existing Santa Fe open-pit was recently completed and assays are pending.


Santa Fe Background


Victoria has the right to earn from Homestake Mining Company of California, an indirect subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation (TSX:ABX)(NYSE:ABX), up to a 70% interest in the Santa Fe gold property, which comprises 24 patented claims and 226 unpatented claims, by incurring exploration expenses in an aggregate amount of at least US$6.5 million over a six year period. Victoria has also staked 42 unpatented claims adjacent to the Santa Fe project. Barrick Gold Corporation does not have a back-in right with respect to the Santa Fe project.


Drilling of BH-4 was carried out using HQ and NQ-sized core. The assays were prepared, processed and assayed by Inspectorate in Reno, NV. Assaying was done by fire assay with an atomic absorption ("AA") finish, and samples with AA results greater than 3,000 ppb were re-run by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Standards, blanks, and duplicate assays were also run for QA-QC. Assays shown include all intervals over 1.5 m and grading 0.300 g/t gold or more. Poor core recovery was experienced in the following intervals: 221.6 m to 228.6 m, 301.8 m to 313.0 m, 316.5 m to 323.7 m, 335.9 m to 349.1 m, 352.2 m to 361.2 m, 373.4 m to 377.3 m, and 380.4 m to 397.2 m. Numbers in the assay table may not add up due to rounding.


The technical contents in this press release were reviewed by Nancy J. Wolverson, Independent Consulting Geologist. She reviewed the analytical results and the QA/QC procedures in place at the facilities of the Company and the analytical laboratory. Ms. Wolverson is a Certified Professional Geologist (C.P. Geo.) through the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) and is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Dr. Raul Madrid, Vice President, Exploration of the Company, directs the drilling and logging procedures and is responsible for the geologic interpretation.
