TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/29/07 -- Victory Nickel Inc. ("Victory Nickel" or the "Company") (TSX: Ni) (www.victorynickel.ca) today announced that it has completed its previously announced "bought deal" private placement financing of 14,285,714 common shares issued on a "flow-through" basis (each, a "Flow-Through Share") at $0.70 per share for gross proceeds of $10.0 million. The financing was substantially oversubscribed, and the underwriting syndicate of Raymond James Ltd., Octagon Capital Corporation and Sprott Securities Inc. exercised its option to increase the size of the financing by 2,142,857 Flow-Through Shares at the same issue price per share for additional gross proceeds of $1.5 million. In total, 16,428,571 Flow-Through Shares were issued for gross proceeds of $11.5 million.

Victory Nickel plans to use the proceeds primarily to accelerate the activities on its Minago, Mel and Lac Rocher sulphide nickel projects. A final feasibility study is underway at Minago, located on the Thomson Nickel Belt.

- A recent scoping study confirmed Minago as a robust project generating total pre-tax cash flow of $953 million for a net present value of $334.0 million using an 8% discount rate and an internal rate of return of 23.1% at US$7.43/ lb nickel.

- A $2.0 million drill program is underway at Mel, also on the Thomson Nickel Belt, to complete the Company's earn-in on 100% of this advanced project from CVRD Inco Limited. CVRD Inco Limited has a back-in right and option to earn-back a 51% interest in the project.

- At Lac Rocher in Quebec, the Company is completing an economic assessment with a view to achieving near-term production by direct shipping high-grade material for processing. At a 2.5% nickel cut-off grade, Lac Rocher has a high-grade core with a measured and indicated resource of 51,178 tonnes grading 4.06% nickel. Roche Consulting Engineers has been engaged to complete all environmental studies necessary to obtain a Certificate of Authorization for a 50,000 tonne bulk sample.
