VGO Vogogo Inc

Victory Gold Mines Inc. ("Victory Gold") (CNSX:VGO) is pleased to announce the
initial phase of its 2012 Exploration Program which is focused on expanding the
known mineralization of its Gold Pike Mine Property. The exploration program of
approximately 20 holes is designed to delineate mineralization to a depth of 300
meters along strike and down plunge. The goal is to obtain sufficient data to
produce an initial gold resource estimate at the end of 2012. Victory Gold is
funded to complete this program and drilling has begun.


Exploration on the Gold Pike Mine Property, which is located in the East Timmins
Gold District between the Black Fox Mine operated by Brigus Gold and the Hislop
Mine operated by St. Andrew Goldfields, has demonstrated the presence of an
extensive mineralized horizon with significant exploration potential. (See
Figure 1 for a Longitudinal Section.)


The 2012 exploration drilling will follow up on the success of the recently
released 2011 exploration program results, which confirmed the potential of the
property both down plunge and to depth.

Gold mineralization was outlined on the Gold Pike Mine Property by Noranda
during the 1980's and Royal Oak Mines Inc. initiated production from an open pit
mine in the early 1990's, shipping approximately 100,000 tons grading 3.4 grams
per tonne for milling (Source: Resident Geologist) when the gold price averaged
$366 per oz.


The Noranda drilling outlined a mineralized zone over a strike length of 400
metres to a depth of 250 metres below surface. The zone remains open both along
plunge and up/down dip. The Victory Gold 2011 drill program confirmed and
extended the mineralization outlined by Noranda and indicated that the
mineralization is open at depth and down plunge to the southeast amenable to a
potential step out drilling program in the near future. In addition, indications
of parallel mineralization have been indicated by both Victory Gold and Noranda
drilling warranting additional follow up in the 2012 Exploration Program.


Victory Gold is earning up to a 70% interest in the Gold Pike Mine Property from
Matachewan Consolidated Mines, Limited ("MCM") (TSX VENTURE:MCM.A).


Key terms of the earn in are:



--  earn 50% over three years by making $450,000 in exploration
    expenditures, $60,000 in cash payments, and 500,000 shares; 
--  earn 60% for an additional $1 million in exploration expenditures over 2
    years; and 
--  earn 70% for an additional $2 million in exploration expenditures over 3
    years.



MCM retains a 2% NSR (1% of which can be repurchased for $1 million) and
receives an annual advance royalty of $25,000 after Victory Gold's 50% earn in.


A joint venture is established after the 70% Victory Gold earn in. Should
Victory Gold provide 100% of mine financing, it recovers 200% of exploration
expenditures as a priority on 90% of joint venture profits.
