Bold Ventures Announces Wilcorp Drill Results, Highlights Ring of Fire Developments

Bold reports two modest gold zones at Wilcorp, lacking the scale, grade and continuity required for significant resource definition.

Executive Summary

Bold Ventures Inc. (BOL) has released final results from seven diamond drill holes totaling 807 meters at its Wilcorp Property, located near Atikokan, Ontario. The drilling program targeted the Eagle Prospect in the northwest as well as a southern IP trend and new showing.

The best intercept came from hole WC-26-03, which returned 2.28 meters at 3.96 g/t Au from 79.4 meters, including 0.69 meters at 11.4 g/t Au, plus 1.0 meter at 1.64 g/t Au from 85.0 meters. Hole WC-26-04 returned 2.15 meters at 1.7 g/t Au from 25.0 meters and 1.0 meter at 1.53 g/t Au from 34.0 meters. WC-26-07 returned 1.0 meter at 1.06 g/t Au from 19.0 meters.

Holes WC-26-01 and WC-26-02, which tested the southern IP trend and new showing, intersected no significant Cu-Ag-Au mineralization. WC-26-01 reported only 9.0 meters at 0.04% Ni and 0.04% Cr from 19.0 meters. WC-26-05 and WC-26-06 returned no significant gold.

The release also highlights Ring of Fire road construction milestones but reports no change to Bold's Koper Lake/Black Horse ownership terms.

Material Impact

Bold Ventures Inc. (BOL) released results confirming the presence of gold beneath the Eagle trenches, though the company noted the findings do not materially alter its resource model, deposit thesis, or overall company value. As a micro-cap grassroots explorer with no revenue, Bold Ventures’ equity value is derived from a portfolio of early-stage targets.

The stock has traded flat around C$0.07 for several months. While a prior high-grade hole at the Traxxin target briefly moved the share price in June 2026, that gain faded. The Wilcorp result represents a separate, lower-grade target and does not establish a comparable speculative anchor. The current release confirms gold exists but offers no demonstration of scale, continuity, true width, or economic grade.

Additionally, news regarding the Ring of Fire road is positive for regional infrastructure but was already disclosed in late August announcements. This development does not alter Bold Ventures’ carried interest terms today.
