Victory’S Exploration Team Mobilized to Smokey Lithium Property to Prepare Drilling Program

Exploration Programs

For Immediate Release

VICTORY’S EXPLORATION TEAM MOBILIZED TO SMOKEY LITHIUM

PROPERTY TO PREPARE DRILLING PROGRAM

● Drill Permit Announced in December for up to 15 holes

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

Property

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA (January 3rd, 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 mobilized to the Company’s Smokey Li thium Property in

Nevada to prepare the property for drilling.

“Building from extensive exploration work and analysis conducted to date, the Company’s

exploration team has identified drill targets that will determine whether a relationship exists to the

high Li zone on the adjacent Jindalee property,” said Mr. Mark Ireton, Victory President and CEO.

Smokey Lithium Drilling Strategy Highlights

• The adjacent Jindalee property has a claystone unit outcropping on its land holdings

that have assayed as high as 700 ppm Lithium at surface

• The outcrop identified by Jindalee is cut by a n east/northeast trending fault . The

claystone beds have been dropped down into the valley and then covered by alluvial

sand and gravel

• Jindalee has completed their first phase drilling program and have identified claystone

intersections on the dropped downside of the fault

• 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 may help to maintain grade and total thickness

• The depths are unknown for locating the buried extension , and drilling will confirm

both depths, grade, and nature of the deposit

Victory has permitted a total of 15 holes, designed in an array to provide maximum resource

potential, the latitude to adjust based on results , and provide access nearest to known lithium

occurrences at surface. A total of 3 holes will be drilled initially as Victory attempts to locate the

buried/preserved claystone beds. The strategy will be to test along the Jindalee boundary

margins, nearest to the fault line to reduce the depths required to reach clays and atte mpt to

capture the full thickness of the claystone.

About Smokey Lithium, Nevada

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

of Clayton Valley, and 20 miles west of American Lithium’s flagship lithium project. Smokey

Lithium is located 25 km northwest of Cypress’ Clayton Valley Lit hium Project and 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 35 km west of Tonopah, Nevada within the Walker Lane

trans tensional corridor 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 formation. The

claystone, which can carry high lithium concentrations, is observed as highly weathered light grey

to tan mounds 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 potential as indicated by surface sampling.
