Victoria Gold Announces Additional High Grade Gold Intercepts From the Helen Zone

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: VIT) ("Victoria" or "the Company") is
pleased to announce the latest assay results from the Helen Zone at the
Cove Project located in north-central Nevada.

The purpose of drill hole NW-14 was to test the Helen Zone for the first
time below where previous drilling defined a plunge length of
approximately 150 m.

NW-14 intersected the Helen Zone approximately 65 m below and 20 m to the
east of NW-13a which intersected 16.75 g/t of gold over 29.6 m plus 11.85
g/t of gold over 35.6 m (see news release dated December 11, 2008). A
diagram showing the location of drill hole NW-14 can be found at
www.vitgoldcorp.com.

NW-14 demonstrates that, in the Company's view, the Helen Zone is broad
and consistently mineralized at depth.

"We are very pleased with the results from hole NW-14. This hole
contained many intervals of high grade gold which indicate a strong gold
system. Additionally, hole NW-14 contained over 400 m of alteration -
much of it containing anomalous gold -- which shows that the
mineralization in the Helen Zone is large in scale", said Mr. Chad
Williams, President and CEO of Victoria. "We remain in the early days of
exploration at the Helen Zone and are still in the process of fine-tuning
our understanding of the geometry of this gold system. Using the
information gained from NW-14 we now believe that the best gold values in
terms of grades and thicknesses will be found slightly to the west of
where NW-14 intersected the Helen Zone."

The drilling of NW-14 was on-time and on-budget which further
demonstrates that the Company's innovative drilling techniques developed
late in 2008 continue to perform well. Drilling was carried out using HQ
and NQ-sized core with assays taken mostly at 1.52 m intervals. The true
width intersection of NW-14 is not known at this time. Assays were
undertaken by Inspectorate America Corporation in Reno, Nevada using fire
assay followed by atomic absorption finish or fire assay followed by
gravimetric finish.

Future Plans at Cove

The Company plans to start drilling hole NW-15 from surface shortly.
However, the broad mineralized gold intercepts and high gold grades in
NW-14 provide further confidence in the merit of driving an adit (tunnel
from surface) into the Helen Zone to facilitate underground exploration
drilling in the future to expand the Helen Zone. Drilling from
underground is expected to be faster, less expensive, and more precise
than drilling from surface...

The Helen Zone is approximately 600 m to the north-west of the former
producing Cove open pit which historically produced 2.3 million ounces of
gold and 100 million ounces of silver. Victoria believes the Helen Zone
is not an extension of the gold zones that were mined in the historical
pit but an entirely new gold discovery.

Cove Project Background

Victoria has completed its work commitments to earn a 100% interest in
the Cove project, such interest being subject to (i) a back-in right in
favor of Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont") for a 51% interest, or
(ii) a US$1.5 million cash payment to Newmont and a maximum royalty of up
to 5% (3.5 % to 5% including previous royalties) upon the delivery of a
positive feasibility study completed by Victoria.
