Victory Finalizes Prime Locations FOR Drill Holes ON Its Smokey Lithium, Nevada Property

Exploration Programs

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

For Immediate Release

VICTORY FINALIZES PRIME LOCATIONS FOR DRILL HOLES ON ITS

SMOKEY LITHIUM, NEVADA PROPERTY

● Victory’s Exploration Team has completed an on-site geological program to

finalize the location of drill holes, building upon its previously reported

comprehensive effort to delineate significant lithium mineralization on the

Smokey Lithium Property

● Drill hole locations have been selected to extend strong lithium mineralization

intersected previously on the property in hole 09 within the area of interest

outlined in detail in the Company’s press release dated 20 October 2022

● The Company will be amending its drill permit application with the newly

identified hole locations in this new area of interest contiguous with the southwest

part of the original claim block

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA ( 14 December 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 completed an on -site geological program to finalize the

location of drill holes on its Smokey Lithium, Nevada property, building upon the results from its

comprehensive work to delineate the extent of lithium mineralization on Smokey Lithium grounds.

The Company is now in the process of amending its drill permit application to include the new

high quality drill targets. The proposed program seeks to extend strong lithium mineralization

intersected previously on the property’s hole 09, which was ended in strong, claystone hosted,

lithium mineralization at 417 feet.

“As previously reported, the exploration work conducted has been extensive, taking the

necessary time to truly understand the resource potential in order to identify the best possible

drill target intercepts for us to pursue at Smokey Lithium toward establishing the maiden

resource potential of the property,” said Victory President and CEO, Mr. Mark Ireton. “Now that

the data has been processed and assessed on the ground to physically locate the best drill

locations we will amend and refile the existing drill permit application.”

Additional exploration goals of the drill program include drilling through the locally mineralized

sediments above the Weepah Detachment Fault. This is important to grow Victory’s

understanding of a significant area of known lithium mineralisation including potentially

important claystone hosted lithium discoveries made in 2017 by Jindalee Resources to the

immediate south of the property.

The exploration efforts of both Victory and Jindalee have shown that the most southern portion of

the Smokey Valley is under lain by claystones, ashstones and mudstones of the Esmeralda

Formation. This geology is critical for success in the region where large, blanket like mineralized

sections have been recently found.

Detailed geologic mapping by Victory at the project has i dentified the contact of the Weepah

Detachment slide block. This slide block conceals the Esmeralda formation in the southern

portion of the property. Lithium mineralization within the Weepah sediments has noted by the

USGS ( Stewart and others) 1. Victory sees the potential to drill through mineralized Weepah

sediments and down into mineralized Esmeralda Formation sediments. The drill targets

discussed in the news release are targeted at that geologic setting with goal of significantly

expanding the known lithium mineralization on the property.

About Smokey Lithium, Nevada

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

of Clayton Valley, to the west of American Lithium’s flagship lithium project. Smokey Lithium is

located northwest of Cypress’ Clayton Valley Lithium Project and to the southwest of American

Lithium Corporation's Tonopah Lithium Claims Property in southwest Nevada. Esmeralda County

Nevada is a prolific region for lithium clay deposit s, (Noram, Cypress, American Lithium,

Spearmint, Enertopia, and Jindalee).
