VIT Victoria Gold Corporation

Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX.V-VIT) (“Victoria” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the results of the Company’s Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) along with an update on recent milestones and Eagle Gold Mine operational ramp-up.

Ramp-up of operations at the Eagle Gold Mine continues to meet budget parameters. As at the end of September 2019, approximately 5.4 million tonnes of material had been mined, including 1.7 million tonnes of ore and 3.7 million tonnes of waste. 1.1 million tonnes of ore had been crushed, conveyed and stacked on the heap leach pad. Ore gold grade to the pad is achieving expectations and early grade reconciliations are in-line with the mine plan. As at the end of September, the mine had worked 217,836 Lost Time Incident (“LTI”) free hours since operations were handed over to Victoria on July 1, 2019; and nearly 1.75 million hours since the only LTI in early 2018.

On October 8, 2019, the Company made its first shipment of doré from the Eagle Gold Mine to be delivered to the Royal Canadian Mint for refining. The shipment contained 2,450 ounces (76.2 kilograms) of doré comprising 83.3% gold and 8.7% silver. The approximate, current value of the shipment is over US$3 million (CDN$4 million). Pouring, and shipment, of doré bars is expected to continue on a weekly basis.

“I take this opportunity to thank our operations team. They have worked, and continue to work, safely, passionately and tirelessly to ensure a rapid and smooth ramp-up of the Eagle Gold Mine,” remarked John McConnell, President & CEO. “This inaugural gold shipment is testament to that hard work, and there is so much more to come!”
