VANCOUVER, July 3, 2012 /CNW/ - Victory Resources Corp. (TSXV: VR) (OTCQX: VRCFF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the 2^nd and final stage of the drill program at the Altamira tailings pond located at the Reforma mine.

The drill program was conducted on two tailings ponds known as the Matanza and the Altamira. The drill program completed on the Matanza tailings pond consisted of 46 drill holes with depths ranging from 2 meters to 10.9 meters for a total of 291 meters. The drill program completed on the Altamira tailings pond consisted of 10 drill holes with depths ranging from 2 meters to 7.5 meters for a total of 38 meters. The company is now preparing a representation bulk sample from each tailings pond to be submitted for mineralogical studies and metallurgical tests to determine the viability of re-processing the material.

Previous production at the Reforma mine involved the recovery mainly by flotation of chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite. Significant values of Silver (AG) ranging from 10 grams to greater than 250 grams were recovered with the sulphides. Gold was a minor component. Magnetite which comprised a significant portion of the complex ore was not recovered.

"The completion of the drill program at the tailings ponds is an important milestone in determining the near term economic potential." stated Wally Boguski, President and CEO. "The scenario of an immediately viable resource in the tailings pond could represent an opportunity for the company to access capital for the current development of the Reforma mine."
