“2007 was a very busy and productive year that began with the creation of Victory Nickel and during which we made great progress toward becoming Canada’s next mid-tier nickel producer,” said Rene Galipeau, Vice-Chairman and CEO. “As we enter 2008, we look forward to putting our first property in production at Lac Rocher, completing the definitive feasibility study of Minago and making a production decision at Mel. We will also continue to evaluate new ways to increase Victory Nickel’s market valuation by adding assets and positioning the Company to benefit from continued high nickel demand and the lack of new sulphide nickel deposits coming into production worldwide.”

Financial Performance

As a development stage enterprise, none of Victory Nickel’s exploration or development projects have commenced commercial production and, accordingly, the Company does not yet have revenue.

For the 11-month period from inception, February 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007, the Company had a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.01 per share. The loss resulted from general and administrative expenses of $1,643,000 and stock option compensation of $1,369,000 relating to stock options granted in the current period to officers, Directors and employees, some of which are vesting in future periods, less interest and other income of $559,000.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had working capital, including cash and cash equivalents and cash for exploration expenditures, totaling $12,385,000. Cash equivalents include bank-guaranteed investment certificates and bank discount notes. The Company does not own asset-backed commercial paper. The Company has a corporate policy of investing its available cash in Canadian government instruments and certificates of deposit or other direct obligations of major Canadian banks, unless otherwise specifically approved by the Board.

During the fiscal period, the Company used $1,145,000 in operating activities, comprising cash used in operations before changes in non-cash working capital of $1,012,000 plus a net increase in non-cash working capital balances of $133,000.

Full financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis will be posted on the Company’s website and at www.sedar.com.

Outlook

2007 marked the first year of Victory Nickel’s existence and was a very busy period with respect to creating Victory Nickel and moving the Minago, Lac Rocher and Mel sulphide nickel projects toward production. 2008 should be equally eventful, as the Company expects to make the transition from developer to nickel producer with the start-up of production at the 100%-owned Lac Rocher deposit in northern Quebec, completion of the Minago definitive feasibility study and completion of an independent evaluation of the economics of developing Mel.

Recently, the Company announced the appointment of Steve Harapiak, an experienced and well-respected mining executive. Mr. Harapiak will add the leadership required to move Victory Nickel forward to becoming a nickel producer.

In late March, the Company made an investment in Wallbridge Mining Company Limited, acquiring 8.4% of its outstanding common shares. This investment gives Victory Nickel shareholders an economic and low risk means of participating in the Sudbury basin, one of the world’s most prolific nickel camps, and in the rapidly emerging Duluth Complex in northeastern Minnesota through Wallbridge’s 13% equity interest in Duluth Metals Limited, and advances the Company’s goal of creating Canada’s next mid-tier nickel company.

The market for nickel is expected to remain robust for the foreseeable future. With over 660 million pounds of in-situ nickel in National Instrument 43-101-compliant measured (154 million pounds) and indicated (511 million pounds) resources at the three projects, plus an additional 530 million pounds of in-situ nickel in inferred resources, Victory Nickel has one of Canada’s largest undeveloped sulphide nickel inventories. With near-term production potential from all three projects, Victory Nickel is moving quickly to take advantage of the worldwide shortage of sulphide nickel assets and to capitalize on strong nickel pricing.

The Company is aggressively advancing all three projects, and evaluating additional opportunities to expand nickel resources and production. Current programs on the three projects include:

Minago

Completion of the definitive feasibility study on the open pit portion of the deposit by Wardrop remains a focus for the Company. Wardrop is moving ahead rapidly with all aspects of this study.

Early in 2008, the Company embarked on a 10,000 metre diamond drilling program designed to expand the overall nickel resource, as well as an Early Works program as part of work required to meet the start-up of nickel production targeted for the fourth quarter of 2010.

The Minago scoping study identified the need for further drilling at depth in the Nose Deposit, the area containing the entire current resource, to better define lenses of higher grade mineralization.

The 2008 drill program follows up on the potential identified in the Minago scoping study and earlier drilling. The first hole in this program confirmed the presence of higher-grade nickel mineralization at depth, assaying 1.51% nickel over 38.42 metres as part of a 193.01 metre interval grading 0.59% nickel.

Drilling is also targeting the North Limb, a zone of mineralization with a known strike length of 1.5 kilometres located to the north of the Nose Deposit. In 2005, Nuinsco drilled a single 455.4 metre deep hole in the North Limb, intersecting 9.71 metres grading 1.03% nickel and 52.5 metres grading 0.64% nickel within a 337.9 metre intercept grading 0.33% nickel in rock similar to that hosting the Minago resource. In the current program, additional holes are planned to further characterize the mineralization and nickel grades along this potentially vast and underexplored area.

The Early Works program represents the first step in the design of the tailings facility, waste dumps and overall site layout in preparation for permitting and development of the Minago mine. The Early Works program consists of geotechnical drilling, hydrogeological drilling, and design of a permanent access road. Design of an early site access road to support Early Works development is already complete.

All currently scheduled drilling is expected to be complete by early in the second quarter of 2008, and the Company remains on track to complete the definitive feasibility study before the end of 2008.

Lac Rocher

Lac Rocher, located in northern Quebec, is advancing to become Victory Nickel’s first production asset in 2008. Roche Consulting Engineering is completing a preliminary economic assessment of two phases of an underground exploration and bulk sampling program to evaluate ore continuity and provide further metallurgical evaluation.

Phase I encompasses extracting approximately 50,000 tonnes of material, with Phase II extracting approximately 400,000 additional tonnes. All of the mined material will be shipped off site, and the Company is evaluating a number of options, both in the province of Quebec and elsewhere, for the processing of this material.

Positive results have been received from metallurgical tests, and the Company fully expects that Lac Rocher will be its first cash generating asset, with mining targeted to begin in late 2008.

Mel

The Mel deposit has a National Instrument 43-101-compliant indicated resource of 4.3 million tonnes grading 0.88% nickel (approximately 83 million pounds in-situ nickel) and an additional inferred resource of 1.0 million tonnes grading 0.839% nickel (approximately 19 million pounds in-situ nickel). This near-surface resource, along with a stipulation in the option agreement that joint venture partner Vale Inco shall mill ore mined from the Mel deposit at cost plus 5% (provided that the product meets Vale Inco specifications and that Vale Inco has sufficient mill capacity), makes near-term nickel production from the Mel deposit a possibility that the Company is currently evaluating.

Victory Nickel is in discussions with Vale Inco regarding its back-in right for 51% of the project. The Company expects Vale Inco’s decision, which will dictate the future direction of the project, will be made by mid-year 2008.

Based on the Company’s recent share price, and given the strength of the Minago, Mel and Lac Rocher projects, management recognizes that Victory Nickel’s assets remain significantly undervalued by the market, and is committed to realizing full value on behalf of all shareholders. These assets form a solid base on which to build a substantial Canadian nickel company.

About Victory Nickel

Victory Nickel Inc. is a Canadian company with over 660,000,000 pounds of in-situ nickel in National Instrument 43-101-compliant measured (154,000,000 pounds) and indicated (511,000,000 pounds) resources in three sulphide nickel projects: Minago and Mel on Manitoba’s Thompson nickel belt, and the high-grade Lac Rocher deposit in northwestern Quebec, and an additional 530 million pounds of in-situ nickel in inferred resources. Created from the nickel assets of Nuinsco Resources Limited (TSX:NWI), Victory Nickel is well financed and focused on becoming a substantial nickel producer by developing its existing properties and evaluating opportunities to expand its nickel asset base.
