TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 9, 2010) - Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:VIT) ("Victoria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from a National Instrument 43-101 compliant pre-feasibility study (the "Study") for its 100% owned Eagle gold project in the Yukon Territory. The pre-feasibility study was prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. in association with Kappes, Cassidy & Associates and BGC Engineering Inc.


"By completing this successful independent study and adding ounces of gold through a short 2009 exploration campaign, the Company has already added considerable value to this project which we acquired less than one year ago", said Chad Williams, President and CEO of Victoria Gold. "Upon receiving the Study, the Company noted the following:



1. the project has robust economics even at a much lower gold price; 2. capital costs are low on a per ounce of production basis and the Company
believes within our ability to secure; 3. total cash operating costs are below what the Company views as current
world average costs;
4. the project's Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") and Net Present Value
("NPV") have substantial leverage to the price of gold; and 5. the reserve is only a portion of the known unconstrained gold resource
and at a higher gold price additional resources may convert to reserves,
extending the mine life and/or permit a higher production rate."


The project economics on a pre-tax basis are summarized below:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gold Price (US$/oz) 900 1,100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRR (%) 15.0 29.9
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NPV @ 5% discount rate (million) 115 323
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NPV @ 10% discount rate (million) 47 210
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Payback (years) 3.4 2.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


The initial years of production are summarized below:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Units 2012 2013 (1) 2014 2015 2016 2017
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ore Tonnage 000 - 2,000 9,100 9,100 9,100 9,100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grade g/t Au - 1.019 0.863 0.983 0.855 0.861
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recovery % - 74 72 73 71 72
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gold Production Ounces - 39,714 178,868 209,262 179,329 180,206
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Cost C$'000 175,139 106,347 6,105 17,325 2,774 12,464

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Cost C$/t - 20.66 9.91 10.65 10.31 10.54
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Cash Cost US$/oz - 947 464 427 481 489
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Partial year of production.
(2) Includes contingency of $26 million.
(3) Includes contingency of $12 million.


The Mineral Reserve (4) used in the study is summarized below:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reserve Category Tonnes Grade (g/t Au) Gold Ounces
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probable 66,141,000 0.823 1,751,000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4) CIM definitions were followed for estimation of Mineral Resources and
Mineral Reserves. They are based on a resource block model; with grade
interpolation conducted using Ordinary Kriging. Unlike previous resource
estimates on the Eagle Zone, current Mineral Resources were constrained
within an economic open pit shell, generated using a gold price of US$1050 per ounce gold. At a cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au, Mineral Resources total 154,294,000 tonnes, at a grade of 0.65 g/t Au, totaling 3.2 million ounces.
Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resource
was calculated January 2010.

Mineral Reserves as noted above are estimated using a cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t Au, based on US$900/oz gold price, C$1.00 equals US$0.90 exchange rate, average metallurgical recovery of 72%, and operating costs averaging C$10.38 per tonne ore. The grade interpolation was conducted using Ordinary Kriging.


"Upgrading from an indicated resource to a probable reserve is a huge step in the project's development and shows the quality of the Eagle asset", said Mr. John McConnell, Executive Vice President. "The near-term next steps for Victoria in the Yukon are:


1. submission of a Project Proposal to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-
economic Assessment Board initiating the formal process; 2. initiation of a feasibility study; 3. commence a $5 million exploration program to assess the gold potential
of areas within trucking distance of Eagle on the large Dublin Gulch
property including the Shamrock, Olive, and Steiner Zones; 4. condemnation drilling of the proposed waste rock and heap process sites;
and
5. advancement of discussions with the Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation on a
benefits agreement."




The Study will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days. Victoria would like to thank the Yukon Government for their support during the completion of the Study.


A conference call to discuss the study will be announced shortly.
