BOL · Price

Executive Summary

  • Bold Ventures announced the discovery of a new style of Au‑Ag‑Cu mineralization on its Wilcorp Property in the Atikokan area, highlighted by a grab sample containing 4.3 g/t Au, 277 g/t Ag (8.9 oz/ton), and 1.8 % Cu.
  • The find builds on 2024 prospecting that returned notable trace metal anomalies (e.g., 333 ppb Au, 13.8 g/t Ag) and is associated with a carbonatized fault‑related lineament near the Quetico Fault Zone.
  • Ongoing work includes additional sampling at Wilcorp and channel sampling at the Burchell Project; QA/QC protocols were applied, and results were reviewed by a qualified person under NI 43‑101.

Key Details

  • Sample Highlight: Grab sample C278909 (Sept 2025) – 4.3 g/t Au, 277 g/t Ag (8.9 oz/ton), 1.8 % Cu, 0.16 % Zn.
  • Historical Context: 2024 sample from same location returned 333 ppb Au, 13.8 g/t Ag, 0.34 % Cu plus elevated Co (76 ppm), Cr (1010 ppm), Ni (527 ppm).
  • Additional Anomaly: 111 ppb Au in outcrop ~90 m east of the new showing (2025).
  • Geology: Mineralization occurs in outcrop on north side of ENE‑trending lineament, subparallel to Quetico Fault Zone; lineament hosts moderate–strong IP chargeability anomalies over ~1.5 km.
  • Proximity to Intrusions: Shepherd Intrusion (mafic‑ultramafic) lies ~300 m south of property boundary; potential link to Cu mineralization under investigation.
  • Project Scope: Wilcorp comprises 18 staked and 4 patented claims covering 264 ha, previously known only for orogenic gold (e.g., 16 g/t Au grab sample near Eagle Prospect, 2024).
  • Ongoing Activities – Burchell Project: Washing and channel sampling continue; first batch of channel samples submitted for analysis.
  • QA/QC: Samples collected, photographed, sealed, and sent to Activation Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited); methods used: fire assay with AA finish (1A2‑50) and total digestion ICP‑OES (1F2).
  • Qualified Person Review: Technical information approved by Coleman Robertson, B.Sc., P. Geo., VP of Exploration, qualified under NI 43‑101.
