|
VANCOUVER, BC – Victory Resources Corp. (Symbol VR-TSXV, OTCQX:VRCFF ) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with GEM Global Yield Fund Limited ("GEM") for a $5.0 million CDN financing commitment. Funds raised through this facility will be used for the ongoing drill program and the subsequent engineering work to bring the Reforma mine to feasibility. Funds will also be used for the development of the Company’s recently optioned Boleo property in Mexico, the Toni property located near Merritt, B.C., as well as general working capital.
Victory Resources Corp. will control the timing and maximum amount of any private placement under this agreement, and has the right, not the obligation, to drawdown on available funds. As part of the financing commitment, the Company has agreed to issue 5 million warrants to GEM in conjunction with each private placement. The warrants will be exercisable for a period of three years from the closing of each private placement at an exercise price of
.72 CDN per share.
"We are very excited to have entered into this agreement with a world class investment group like GEM. The $5 million facility will assure that our company has access to capital beyond our current drill program,” said Wally Boguski, president and CEO. “We look forward to the results of our ongoing drill program on the Reforma mine as well as the results from the drill program on the tailings pond from the historic Reforma mine operations.”

The company’s main focus is on the Reforma property located at the common boundary of Sinaloa and Chihuahua States in west central Mexico. The concessions cover a total area of 7,226 hectares. Victory Resources will earn a 70% undivided interest in the Reforma property as part of an option agreement. Formerly owned by Penoles in Mexico, documentation showed that between the years 1968 to 1980, the Reforma mine processed 1.8 million tonnes grading an average of 91.62 grams per tonne Ag, 1.90 per cent Pb, 7.44 per cent Zn and 0.63 per cent Cu.
The recently optioned Boleo property is situated on the western foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, at the common boundary of the northeastern Mexican States of Sinaloa and Chihuahua and expands the resource potential of Victory with 20,460 hectares of contiguous property. This area is characterized by a northerly prolific mineralized belt hosting the multi-million-tonne porphyry copper and gold deposits of Santo Tomas and Bahuerachi.
The Company has also begun exploration work on the Au-Wen property in British Columbia, Canada. The Au-Wen property is 100 % owned by Victory Resources and is located 30 kilometers southeast of Merritt and 8 kilometers east of the historic Aspen Grove mining camp in south-central British Columbia, Canada.
