Treasury

On June 14, 2012, Victoria closed the sale of its Cove McCoy property to Premier Gold Mines Ltd ("Premier") for $28 million plus a further $20 million in contingent production payments. Upon closing, Victoria received $4 million cash and $4 million in Premier common shares. On June 14, 2013, Victoria received the second payment of $5 million cash and $5 million in Premier common shares. The third payment of $10 million in cash and shares is due on June 14, 2014. Including the recently received payment outlined above, Victoria currently has approximately $33 million in cash, accounts receivables and marketable securities.


Cost Reductions

Victoria's balance sheet is in excellent shape, however, management has recognized the prudence of conserving its cash during the current market weakness. The Company has undertaken staff reductions, reduced office space and administrative expenses and halted and/or deferred certain consultant and site activities. Engineering, permitting and site work to support full site mobilization and construction activities in 2014 will continue.

Andrew Kaczmarek, COO, has stepped down as an officer of the Company and will continue to be an integral member of the development team as a consultant. Richard Eliason, VP Exploration, has resigned. The Company would like to thank Mr. Eliason for his contribution and wish him well in his future endeavors.
