Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the "Company" or "Bold") is pleased to announce that, further to its Press Release dated March 1, 2026, it has acquired 6 staked mining claims (the "Additional Claims") contiguous to its Joutel Property, located 140 km northwest of Val d'Or, Quebec pursuant to the agreement dated February 25, 2026 (the "Vending Agreement") with 2099840 Ontario Inc. oa Emerald Geological Services ("EGS") in consideration for the issuance of 750,000 common shares of the Company to EGS (the "Transaction"). EGS is a non-arm's length party controlled by Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold, and Coleman Robertson, VP Exploration of Bold. The Additional Claims cover versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEMTM) geophysical anomalies from a 2012 survey carried out on the Joutel Property by Bold. The securities issued are subject to a resale restriction expiring on October 2, 2026.
The transaction is a related party transaction as EGS is a non-arm's length party controlled by Bruce MacLachlan and Coleman Robertson, two insiders of the Company. The related party transaction is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration for the securities of the Company issued to EGS does not exceed 25% of its market capitalization.
Spring 2026 IP Survey
An Induced Polarization (IP) survey was completed from April to May of this year on the Joutel Property across the newly acquired claims and portions of claims previously staked by Bold. The survey, carried out by Simcoe Geoscience, was performed on 8 north-south lines totaling 19.5 kilometers, targeting VTEMTM anomalies known to be spatially associated with anomalous nickel, gold and silver in historical drillholes. The survey 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. Final interpretations and 3D models are pending.
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 52 staked claims and 6 claims acquired from Emerald Geological Services (EGS), covering 3217 hectares (see Figure 1).
The property area was previously worked by Bold in 2011-2012, when Bold flew a versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEMTM) 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 m (see Figure 2).
