Bold Reports Positive Results of Induced Polarization Survey at Joutel - Signs Investor Awareness Agreement

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (OTCQB: BVLDF) (the "Company" or "Bold") is pleased to announce the results from a Spring 2026 Induced Polarization (IP) Survey at its Joutel Property (the "Property" or the "Project"), located 140 km northwest of Val d'Or, Québec. The survey targeted Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEMTM) geophysical anomalies in the northern part of the property known to be spatially associated with historical nickel, gold and silver anomalies in diamond drilling.

30 chargeability anomalies were identified on two grids (West and East grids), of which 14 are considered first priority, with commonly moderate to strong chargeability associated with moderate to high resistivity and contact or fault zones, with the potential for structurally controlled sulphide mineralization.

Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold Ventures, stated: "The IP survey was successful in detailing drill targets in the vicinity of historical values of nickel, gold and silver. The northern part of the project area is now ready for drill testing. We anticipate a busy fall and winter season as we have multiple projects that are essentially drill ready."

In other news, the Company is pleased to announce that it has signed a one-year advertising and investor awareness campaign agreement with Dig Media Inc., dba Investing News Network ("INN"). Based in Vancouver, Canada, INN has offices in Toronto, New York and San Francisco. INN has been dedicated to providing independent news and education to investors since 2007. The term of the engagement is twelve months commencing August 18, 2026, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The cost of the campaign is $57,000 plus HST.

Joutel Project - Spring 2026 IP Survey

An Induced Polarization (IP) survey was completed from April to May of this year on the Joutel Property. The survey, carried out by Simcoe Geoscience, consisted of 2D Alpha IP Resistivity & Chargeability data acquisition. The Alpha IP - Induced Polarization and Resistivity data was acquired using a 'dipole-pole-dipole (Reverse & Forward)' configuration with a 100m station spacing and extra current injections at both ends of the profiles for additional depth penetration.

The survey was performed on 8 north-south lines totaling 19.5 kilometers, targeting VTEM^TM anomalies known to be spatially associated with anomalous nickel, gold and silver in historical drillholes. Lines were distributed over two grids: East grid and West grid. The East grid consists of three profiles of 1.5 km length trending north-south with 100m line spacing, while the West grid consists of five profiles of 3.0 km long running north-south with 125m line spacing.

In the East grid, six chargeability anomalies were identified, of which three were considered first priority. In the West grid, twenty-four chargeability anomalies were identified, of which eleven were considered first priority. Anomalies are grouped into four zones, AZ-1 to AZ-4. (see Figure 1: Alpha IP Survey, Interpretation Plan Map).

The interpreted chargeability anomalies were prioritized according to anomaly amplitude, size, possible line to line continuation and multi-parameter (Resistivity and Chargeability) association. First priority anomalous zones are generally moderate in the area and situated at shallow to moderate depths. The chargeability is commonly moderate to strong associated with moderate to high resistivity and is in connection with contact or fault zones. First priority zones show resistivity gradient areas consistent with faults and shear zones with potential for structurally controlled sulphide mineralization (Simcoe Geoscience, 2026). An example of a 2D Section Interpretation is shown in Figure 2 for Line 2E on the East grid.

Alpha IP Data QA/QC and Post-Processing

The final processing of Time Domain IP is complicated and performed in several steps using different processing platforms. Infield QA/QC and post processing is completed with proprietary timeseries processing software. […] Once the data satisfy the QA/QC process, the entire line file is exported onto UBC format to run the model inversions. In general, for the Joutel Project, QC, the quality of the raw data is good, and the repeatability is excellent (Simcoe Geoscience, 2026).

About the Joutel Project

The Joutel claim group of Bold Ventures Inc. is located approximately 140 kilometres northwest of the city of Val d'Or, Québec, and 6 km south-southeast of the historical mining town of Joutel, Québec, in Poirier and Dalet Townships. The property consists of 53 staked claims and 6 claims acquired from Emerald Geological Services (EGS), covering 3268 hectares (see Figure 3: Joutel Property claims and VTEM conductors).

The property area was previously worked by Bold in 2011-2012, when Bold flew a versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM^TM) survey over the area. In the northern part of the current property, the 2012 survey identified anomalous area 3B which is spatially associated with historical values in diamond drill core of 0.83% nickel over 3.7 metres including 1.27% nickel over 2.3 metres, as well as 0.51 g/t gold over 3.05 metres and 17.4 g/t silver over 0.67 metres (see Figure 4: Historical drillhole intersections on recently acquired EGS claims).
