• Property represents a large, under-explored land package adjacent to Rock Tech's near term Georgia Lake Lithium deposit
• The Georgia Lake Lithium District has a proven track record of economic Li deposits dating back to the mid 1950's
• Rock Tech Lithium (TSXV: RCK) is building a lithium ore processing facility for custom milling in Thunder Bay, to be online in early 2024, which with Ontario Government support will support mineral processing from other nearby Li mines

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 6, 2023 / Victory Battery Metals (CSE:VR) (FWB:VR61) (OTC PINK:VRCFF) ("Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to update its exploration plan for its Georgia Lake Lithium Project in the Thunder Bay Mining District, Ontario.

Victory's exploration team has designed a work program to advance the Georgia Lake Lithium property. Currently, the Company is soliciting bids to fly a magnetometer survey over its Georgia Lake Property to determine whether mica granite bodies can be identified within the metasediments. Once the magnetometer survey has been completed, a field crew will mobilize onto the property in early June to begin prospecting, rock sampling, reconnaissance mapping, as well as overburden mapping and sampling.

Georgia Lake Lithium Project Highlights

• Victory's Georgia Lake property is 2 km east of Rock Tech Resources advanced lithium project within the Georgia Lake lithium District and hosts numerous Li bearing pegmatites
• A 2022 Technical Report on the Georgia Lake Property produced a Mineral Resource estimate which outlined 10.60 million tonnes (Mt) Indicated Mineral Resource at a grade of 0.88% Li2O and 4.22 Mt of Inferred Mineral Resource at a grade of 1.0% Li2O
• In the Georgia Lake Lithium District, spodumene bearing pegmatites occur almost entirely within metasediments, usually spatially associated with mica bearing granitic rocks. Regional mapping by Pye (1965)¹ indicates that Victory's Georgia Lake property is largely underlain by metasediments
• Pegmatites and mica granites are reported to the south, west and east of the Property
• Mapping on Rock Tech's ground has outlined additional bodies of mica granite not shown on Pye's map, suggesting the possibility that previously unmapped mica granites and associated pegmatites may be found on Victory's ground as well

"The Georgia Lake Lithium project is a strong lithium play in a proven lithium region, supported through a renewed focus from the Government of Ontario, with their continued development of infrastructure to grow the Thunder Bay District, which increases accessibility and will allow us to realize the full potential of any commercially viable deposits within the project." said Mr. Mark Ireton, Victory Resources President and CEO.
