Victory has added multiple properties to its portfolio, most recently announcing the Smokey Lithium, Black Diablo and Loner properties, all of which are in Nevada. Work programs are set to begin, starting with the Loner 500m short hole drill exploration, and the Company is aggressively ramping up its exploration and acquisition efforts.

"On behalf of the Board, we are thrilled to welcome Mark to the Victory team, his experience, both in the mining and finance fields is exactly the match Victory requires to grow its exploration capabilities and very importantly to operate at the highest levels of efficiency and purpose," said Mr. David Lane, Director.

Mark Ireton's Experience Highlights:

As President of Noram Ventures, Mr. Ireton oversaw the exploration and advancement of that company's primary asset, a clay lithium property with similar attributes to Victory's Smokey Lithium Project, and in the same vicinity. Mark understands the mining space, and the lithium space specifically having taken Noram's lithium property from early sampling to advancing it to where it was shown to have an inferred resource.

"Timing in the resource sector is everything and I am excited to join the Victory team, with a focus toward maximizing the value from a very promising portfolio of properties from gold to lithium," said Mr. Ireton. "Victory's exploration and work programs are progressing rapidly at a time when we see unprecedented demand for lithium and a continued appreciation in the value of metals across the board,"
