BOLD VENTURES DISCOVERS NEW STYLE OF MINERALIZATION ON ITS WILCORP PROPERTY

Bold Ventures Inc. has discovered a new style of mineralization on its Wilcorp property in the Atikokan area in Ontario, consisting of significant Au-Ag-Cu (gold-silver-copper) mineralization from sulphide-quartz stringers in highly carbonatized rock. One grab sample in September of this year returned 4.3 grams per tonne (g/t) Au, 277 g/t Ag (8.9 ounces per ton (oz/t)) and 1.8 per cent Cu, as well as 0.16 per cent Zn (zinc).

The 2025 prospecting aimed to follow up on a 2024 sample in this location, which returned 333 parts per billion (ppb) Au, 13.8 g/t Ag, 76 parts per million (ppm) Co (cobalt), 1,010 ppm Cr (chromium), 0.34 per cent Cu and 527 ppm Ni (nickel) (Robertson 2025 (1)). One additional gold anomaly of 111 ppb Au was obtained in 2025 in outcrop approximately 90 meters east of the new showing. For sample locations, see the attached table.

The mineralization occurs in outcrop on the north side of an east-northeast-trending lineament in the southeastern part of the property. The lineament is subparallel to the Quetico fault zone (QFZ) to the south and may represent a subparallel fault zone. A 2012 induced polarization (IP) survey carried out by Bold identified a series of moderate to very strong chargeability anomalies within the lineament south of the new showing, over a distance of approximately 1.5 kilometres.

The QFZ is intruded by the Atikokan River intrusions, a series of mafic to ultramafic intrusions, which host Fe, Cu and Co mineralization (MacTavish, 1999 (2)). The closest of these intrusions to the Wilcorp property is the Shepherd intrusion, approximately 300 metres south of the property boundary. It is unclear if the new copper mineralization may be related to these intrusions. A gabbroic rock was observed 15 metres west of the new showing in outcrop, but more geological mapping and petrographic work must be carried out to determine the nature of this rock type and any possible link to the Au-Ag-Cu mineralization, as well as the elevated Co, Cr, Ni and Zn mineralization identified in this area.

To date, the Wilcorp project, which consists of 18 staked claims and four patented claims covering 264 hectares, has only been known to host orogenic gold mineralization. One 2024 grab sample of quartz veining returned 16 g/t Au in the vicinity of the historic Eagle prospect in the northwest corner of the property (see Bold's Oct. 31, 2024, news release). For more details on the Wilcorp project, refer to Bold's website.

Burchell project -- continuing activities

Washing and channel sampling are continuing at Bold's Burchell project, 100 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ont. A first batch of channel samples has now been submitted for analysis.

QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) protocols

Rock samples were collected, documented and photographed in the field, then placed in sealed bags and delivered to Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) in Thunder Bay, which is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Rock sample collection is subject to Bold's internal QA/QC protocols, which include the insertion of blank material and certified reference material into each batch of samples submitted. Rock samples referenced in this news release were analyzed using ActLabs methods 1A2-50, a 50-gram fire assay with atomic absorption finish, and 1F2, a total digestion with ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy) finish for trace elements.

The technical information in this news release was reviewed and approved by Coleman Robertson, BSc, PGeo, the company's vice-president of exploration and a qualified person (QP) for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

Bold Ventures management believes its suite of battery, critical and precious metals exploration projects is an ideal combination of exploration potential meeting future demand. The company's target commodities comprise: copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and chromium (Cr). The critical metals list and a description of the provincial and federal electrification plans are posted on the Bold critical and battery minerals page.
