Bold Ventures Announces Prospecting and Sampling Results and Mobilizes Crew to Burchell Gold and Copper Project

Executive Summary

• Bold Ventures reported extensive prospecting and sampling results from its Burchell Gold and Copper Property, highlighting a 4.5‑6.5 m wide anomalous gold zone at the 111 Zone with a channel sample of 2.1 g/t Au over 0.5 m.
• Multiple new gold‑in‑rock anomalies were identified across a ~2.9 km trend, including high‑grade grab samples (up to 3.38 g/t Au) and notable gold‑silver occurrences (e.g., 952 ppb Au with 300 ppm Ag).
• The company has secured an exploration permit for backhoe stripping and will commence a mechanical stripping, mapping, and sampling program immediately to further delineate the identified trends.

Key Details

• Sampling Program: Collected 209 grab samples and 42 channel samples over an 800 m × 1 km grid centered on the 111 Zone.
• Anomalous Gold Zone (111 Zone): Apparent width 4.5‑6.5 m, open to SE; highest channel result 2.1 g/t Au (1250 ppm Cu) over 0.5 m.
• Gold‑Silver Showing: South of 111 Zone – up to 952 ppb Au and 300 ppm Ag.
• Historic Trench Verification: Southwest part of Property returned a maximum of 3.38 g/t Au.
• Key Grab/Channel Results:
• 952 ppb Au, 260 ppm Ag, 0.44 % Pb, 0.18 % Zn, 490 ppm Bi (Winter Gold Occurrence).
• 931 ppb Au, 300 ppm Ag, 0.54 % Pb, 0.19 % Zn, 584 ppm Bi (same vein).
• 706 ppb Au with 0.17 % Zn and 155 ppm Mo (780 m WSW of 111 Zone).
• 207 ppb Au with 1.34 % Zn and 0.36 % Pb (450 m WNW of 111 Zone).
• 412 ppb Au and 1.49 % Cu (220 m NE of 111 Zone).
• Moosehead Zone: New sheared quartz‑feldspar porphyry zone ~2.5 km SW of 111 Zone; samples include 371 ppb Au, 188 ppb Au, 288 ppb Au, and 118 ppb Au in adjacent lithologies.
• Trend Length: Identified a discontinuous gold trend extending ~2.9 km from the western Property boundary to beyond the 111 Zone.
• Exploration Permit: Recently obtained permit allowing backhoe stripping to expose the 111 Zone for detailed sampling.
• QA/QC: Samples processed by Activation Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) using fire assay with AA finish and total digestion ICP‑OES; QA/QC protocols include blanks and certified reference materials.
• Qualified Person: Coleman Robertson, B.Sc., P.Geo., VP of Exploration, reviewed and approved technical information per NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“It is encouraging that numerous gold anomalies were obtained from our summer prospecting and sampling programs. New gold, silver and base metal showings along a 3 km trend within parallel zones that cross multiple rock types indicate some size potential, most notably at the 111 Zone where we will have the opportunity to expose it by backhoe and sample more thoroughly.” – Bruce MacLachlan, President & COO, Bold Ventures Inc.
