Bold Ventures finds soil anomalies at Burchell

Executive Summary

• Bold Ventures released results from an extensive A‑ and B‑horizon soil sampling program on its Burchell gold‑copper property, identifying several high‑grade gold anomalies (up to 647 ppb Au) and strong base‑metal anomalies.
• Three distinct clusters of gold and base‑metal anomalies were mapped near geological contact zones, providing clear targets for follow‑up prospecting.
• The program sampled 474 locations on a flagged 800 m × 1 km grid, with QA/QC performed by ISO/IEC‑17025 accredited Activation Laboratories.

Key Details

• Program Scope: 474 soil samples (212 B‑horizon, 262 A‑horizon) collected on 100 m spaced lines; 25 m sample station spacing.
• Gold Anomalies – B Horizon:
• 647 ppb Au – 400 m ENE of the 111 zone
• 301 ppb Au – 230 m WNW of the 111 zone
• 76 ppb Au – 170 m SSW of the 111 zone
• Base‑Metal Anomalies – B Horizon:
• Zn up to 1,590 ppm, Pb up to 442 ppm; Cu max 47 ppm.
• Gold Anomalies – A Horizon: Highest Au 44 ppb near the 111 zone (significantly lower than B‑horizon results).
• Base‑Metal Anomalies – A Horizon: Zn up to 4,520 ppm, Cu up to 547 ppm, Pb up to 350 ppm.
• Geological Context: All anomalies are proximal to contacts between mafic metavolcanics and intermediate/felsic metavolcanics or quartz‑sericite schist; quartz porphyry observed nearby.
• Cluster Identification: At least three separate clusters of combined Au, Zn, Cu, Pb anomalies identified for targeted follow‑up drilling/prospecting.
• QA/QC Protocols: Samples processed by ActLabs using fire assay/AA (Au) and ICP‑OES (trace metals) for B horizon; INAA and aqua regia digestion for A horizon; blanks and certified reference materials inserted per internal QP procedures.
• Qualified Person Review: Technical information reviewed and approved by Coleman Robertson, BSc, PGeo, Vice‑President of Exploration (NI 43‑101 QP).
