VANCOUVER, Feb. 20, 2019 /CNW/ - Victory Metals Inc.
("TSX-V:VMX") ("Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked 320 lode claims (6,432
acres), contiguous to its 100% owned Iron Point Vanadium Project, more than doubling the overall land package to a total of 594
lode claims (11,930 acres). This additional staking is summarized in the Company's recently released National Instrument 43-101
technical report. Additionally, Victory has entered into two option agreements and one outright purchase agreement for adjoining
claims within the Iron Point project area.
Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman stated: "Vanadium mineralization at Iron Point is associated
with black shale horizons within the Ordovician-age Vinini Formation. The known areal extent of the formation outcrop is
approximately 4,500 meters north-south and 700 meters east-west within the original project claim block. There is potential to
significantly expand this target in all directions where it is covered by surrounding younger basalt and alluvium. I'm very
excited with our strategic decision to double the project size thereby capturing all prospective areas of mineralization on lands
around the original Casino Gold holdings."
Silver Coin Claims
On October 14, 2018, Victory, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Brownstone Ventures (US) Inc.,
entered into an option agreement with Ms. Patricia Tintle of Grass
Valley, California, to acquire her 100% undivided interest in the Silver Coin Claim group which comprises 20.7 acres of
unpatented land contiguous to the Company's Iron Point Vanadium Project. Under the terms of the agreement, Victory may exercise
the option by making the following payments – 1) US$50,000 (already paid) within five days of
signing, 2) US$50,000 on the first anniversary of signing, 3) US$50,000 on the second anniversary of signing, and 4) US$150,000 on the third
anniversary of signing. Further, Victory has agreed to complete the first three payments (US$150,000) irrespective of whether the Company elects to complete the option payment (total of US$300,000). Upon making the final payment, Victory will own 100% of the Silver Coin Claim group, with no
underlying NSR or outstanding obligations.
Silver King Patented Claims
On October 25, 2018, Victory, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Brownstone Ventures (US) Inc.,
entered into an option agreement with Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX:CCM), on its wholly-owned Silver King Patented claim group, also
contiguous to the Company's Iron Point claims. The Silver King property consists of four patented mining claims totalling 83
acres (Silver King, Silver King #1, Silver Queen and Silver Coin Annex Extension) (the "Property"). Under the terms of the
ten-year agreement, Canarc will receive annual payments of US$12,000 (the first of which was made
on signing) plus an option exercise payment of US$120,000. Upon exercise of the option, Canarc will
retain a 2% NSR royalty on the Property of which Brownstone Ventures (US) Inc. will have the right to buy back one-half (1%) of
the royalty for US$1,000,000.
Prince Claims
On February 5, 2019, Victory, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Brownstone Ventures (US) Inc.,
entered into a purchase agreement with Nevada Pursuit LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden Pursuit Resources Ltd.
(TSX-V:GDP), to acquire a 100% interest in the Prince Claims. The Prince Claims consist of six unpatented lode mining claims
(Prince 1-6), totalling 124 acres, contiguous to the Company's Iron Point vanadium project. Under the terms of the agreement,
Victory will pay a one-time fee of US$30,000 to have and to hold all of the seller's right, title,
and interest in the Prince group of claims. No NSR is applicable to these claims.
