Victoria drills gold at Olive extension

Victoria Gold Corp. Sep. 11 reported gold intercepts from drilling untested areas south and west of the main Olive-Shamrock zone on its Dublin Gulch property in the Yukon.

Highlights from this drilling at Olive include 33.3 meters of 1.54 grams per metric ton gold in hole DG17-849C; 9.1 meters of 3.14 g/t gold in DG17-856C; and 13.9 meters of 1.56 g/t gold in DG17-889C.

"These latest assay results highlight the fact that additional, near-Olive gold mineralization exists at Dublin Gulch and further validates the Potato Hills Trend mineralization model which we continue to test even as construction has begun at the Eagle Gold Mine," said Victoria President and CEO John McConnell. "We are greatly encouraged with each of the targets we have tested this season at Dublin Gulch and look forward to the steady receipt of assays from this on-going campaign throughout this fall."
