TORONTO, ONTARIO -- 11/02/09 -- Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: VIT) ("Victoria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce as part of its ongoing non-core gold asset value optimization program, the sale of its Clear Creek exploration property in the Yukon Territory, Canada to Golden Predator Royalty & Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GPD) ("Golden Predator") for a total consideration of up to $1,050,000 cash, 1,050,000 shares of Golden Predator stock, plus a work commitment of $3 million and a retained royalty.

"The sale of Clear Creek is positive for Victoria", said Chad Williams, President, CEO, and Director. "The property has exploration promise, but our focus in the Yukon is on the large, advanced Eagle Gold Project. The sale of Clear Creek to Golden Predator, an entrepreneurial company already active in gold elsewhere in the Yukon, allows Victoria to retain a sizeable economic interest in the property."

William M. Sheriff, Chairman and CEO of Golden Predator stated: "The acquisition of Clear Creek presents us with an important advanced exploration project in the emerging Tintina Gold Belt, as well as the opportunity to work with Victoria Gold, one of the leading companies in the Yukon. We look forward to taking this established Project and advancing it through an aggressive drill program to commence in the second quarter of 2010."

The Clear Creek Property

Clear Creek is composed of 77 Quartz claims in the Dawson Mining District and is 100% owned by Victoria. Clear Creek is located 110km east of Dawson between the Little South Klondike River and Clear Creek. The property was acquired in conjunction with Victoria's acquisition of StrataGold Corporation that closed on June 4, 2009.

Terms of the deal

Victoria will grant to Golden Predator the exclusive option to acquire a 100% interest in the Clear Creek Project. In exchange, Victoria will receive an initial payment of $50,000 and 300,000 common shares of Golden Predator. Additionally, Victoria will receive a further $1.0 million cash and 750,000 shares of Golden Predator stock over a period of 5 years. Plus, Golden Predator must spend in aggregate $3 million in work on the property on or before December 31, 2013.

Of the total consideration, $125,000 in cash payments, 300,000 shares and $500,000 in exploration expenditures are firm commitments by Golden Predator.

Victoria will retain a 3% NSR on the property which can be reduced to 2% by Golden Predator upon payment of $1 million to Victoria.
