Victory Initiates Smokey Lithium Drilling Program

Exploration Programs

Suite #1780, 355 Burrard St., Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2G8

For Immediate Release

VICTORY INITIATES SMOKEY LITHIUM DRILLING PROGRAM

● Drill Program will Focus on Relationship to High Li Zone on adjacent Jindalee

Property

● Victory is pursuing a strategy based upon its theory that the down dropped clay

presents an opportunity to locate the extension of the lithium clays ‘buried at

depth’

● Deposits ‘buried at depth’ are anticipated to be preserved from surface erosion

and weathering. This helps to maintain grade and total thickness

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA ( February 10, 2022) – Victory Resources Corporation (CSE:

VR) (FWB: VR61) (OTC: VRCFF) (“Victory” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that

the Company’s exploration team has begun its drilling program on the Company’s Smokey

Lithium Property in Nevada , where its exploration team has identified drill targets that will

determine whether a relationship exists between the Smokey Lithium Property and the high grade

Lithium zone on the adjacent Jindalee property.

“The Company’s initial 3 holes of its 15-hole drilling exploration program aims to prove its geologic

concept, specifically, to test along the Jindalee boundary margins, nearest to the fault line. The

program is designed to reduce the depths required to reach clays and attempt to capture the full

thickness of the claystone,” said Mr. Mark Ireton, Victory President and CEO. “The remaining 12

permitted holes will be utilized for locat ing extensions of the clay mineralization , test depths of

clays and overburden and ultimately provide data for purposes of resource modelling and follow

up drilling.”

Smokey Lithium Drilling Progress Highlights

• Victory’s Exploration Team rig, crews and earth equipment were mobilized at Smokey Lithium

last week, with earthwork and site preparations completed to facilitate drill commencement at

the beginning of this week

• The first hole is being drilled in the southwest part of the prope rty near Jindalee’s boundary

and adjacent to the main fault structure to test Victory’s theory related to the dropped down

clays. Subsequent holes will be based on the results of the initial hole

• If clay is encountered, clays will be logged for recovery, lithologic descriptions, split 50/50 and

sampled at intervals of 1m each. Samples will be sent to ALS labs in Reno for assay wor k.

Standards, blanks and/or duplicates will be inserted into the sam ple chain as a QA/QC

protocol

• It is anticipated lab results are approximately 4 to 6 weeks out, pending lab processes, which

are not in Victory’s control. Victory will provide all clay samples to the lab on a regular basis

to maximize timing of results

About Smokey Lithium, Nevada

Victory’s Smokey Lithium project is a clay lithium property that lies approximately 20 miles (32

km) north of Clayton Valley . Smokey Lithium is located 16 miles (25) km northwest of Cypress’

Clayton Valley Lithium Project and 22 miles (35 km) southwest of American Lithium Corporation's

Tonopah Lithium Claims Property in southwest Nevada. Esmeralda County, Nevada is a prolific

region for lithium clay deposits, (Noram, Cypress, American Lithium, Spearmint, Enertopia, and

Jindalee).

The Smokey Lithium property is located 22 miles ( 35 km ) west of Tonopah, Nevada on the

western margin of the Basin and Range province. The property's geology consists of Miocene -

Pliocene tuff deposits, claystones, and siliciclastic beds (Esmeralda Formation) with overlying

younger alluvium deposits and desert pavement. The claystone, which can carry high lithium

concentrations, is observed at surface as highly weathered light grey to tan moun ds of

unconsolidated clay from 0.10 - 1.50 meters thick. The flat lying nature of the claystones, together

with the frequent occurrence of transported cover requires drilling to fully validate and assess

Smokey Lithium’s the potential as indicated by surface sampling.
