TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 14, 2011) - Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:VIT) ('Victoria' or the 'Company') and the First Nation of NaCho Nyak Dun ('NND') are pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent for the purposes of staking NND Land adjacent to Victoria's Dublin Gulch Project, nearly doubling the land package within NND traditional territory in Yukon, Canada.

Victoria has staked 1,443 claims on two parcels of NND Category B Land adjacent to and to the west and south of the existing Dublin Gulch Property. This ground is highly prospective, covers an area of 290 km² and has not seen any exploration activity in over 20 years. Dublin Gulch, original ground along with the new staking, now includes 3,408 claims covering 646 km². A map of the new claims has been posted to Victoria's website.

NND Chief, Simon Mervyn, commented, "Victoria Gold continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to First Nations in the areas of environmental stewardship and business development. On the heels of our CBA Agreement to advance the Eagle Gold Mine into production we are very pleased to enter into a further agreement with Victoria to conduct exploration on our Settlement B Lands adjacent to Dublin Gulch."

Victoria's original Dublin Gulch property, which hosts the Eagle Gold Deposit, was approximately 15 x 28 km and is bordered to the west and south by NND Category B Settlement Lands. Category B Lands provide surface rights to NND and are part of NND's Final Umbrella Agreement with the federal and territorial governments. Settlement Lands were not part of the recent Comprehensive Benefits Agreement (see News Release dated 14 October, 2011) between Victoria and NND and as such Victoria and NND have entered into a Letter of Intent that provides NND's consent to Victoria to stake these Category B Lands to the west and south of Dublin Gulch. The Letter of Intent establishes that Victoria and NND will enter into further negotiations to finalize an agreement for the purposes of carrying out exploration on NND Lands. These negotiations are underway.

Mr. John McConnell, President and CEO of Victoria Gold commented, "Doubling the Dublin Gulch claim block with highly prospective, underexplored ground is a tremendous opportunity for both Victoria and NND. We now hold one of the largest and least explored contiguous properties in the Yukon and look forward to exploring for new potential in 2012."
