A Canadian exploration company poised for discovery, Bold Ventures is focused on the exploration and development of high-potential battery minerals projects in tier 1 jurisdictions in Canada.
Bold Ventures (TSXV:BOL) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focusing on battery, critical and precious metals located in Northern Ontario. The company’s asset portfolio demonstrates its focus on these commodities to create consistent value with gold and meet the growing demand for battery and critical metals. Bold Ventures’ projects are located within three active regions throughout Ontario: Thunder Bay West, Wawa West and the Ring of Fire camp located in the James Bay Lowlands. The Thunder Bay properties host gold, copper and nickel mineralization, while the Wawa and the Ring of Fire properties have copper, nickel, zinc, silver and PGE mineralization.
The 100 percent owned Traxxin gold project, west of Thunder Bay, has hosted numerous high-grade gold intersections in drilling. The project is a joint venture between Bold Ventures, as the operator, and Lac des Milles First Nation, where the joint venture can earn up to 100 percent of the property.
An experienced team of explorers leads the company toward fully realizing the potential of its portfolio. The company’s leadership team has participated in three significant world-class discoveries, including:
This wealth of experience allows Bold Ventures to strategically acquire undervalued assets and apply sophisticated exploration techniques to identify significant mineral deposits.
The 100 percent owned Traxxin gold project is 130 kilometers west of Thunder Bay and has 154 claims covering 2,417 hectares. The project has excellent existing infrastructure and is road-accessible, cutting down on future development costs.
The Farwell project covers 15,901 acres comprising 113 cells, 18 multi-cells and six boundary claims. The property is located in the Lake Superior east region of Northeastern Ontario, approximately 55 kilometers northwest of Wawa, and in a proven gold camp.
The Burchell claim group includes approximately 216 cells and 49 boundary cells covering 5,070 hectares and is located 105 kilometers west of the port city of Thunder Bay in the south-central portion of Northwestern Ontario. The project is road-accessible through Trans-Canada Highway 11.
The Wilcorp gold project covers 266 hectares and consists of two contiguous properties in McCaul township, including four patent claims and one mineral claim. The asset is 14 kilometers east of the town of Atikokan, Ontario, and within the Thunder Bay Mining Division. New drill targets have been identified for follow-up exploration.
Bold owns a 40-percent working interest in all metals other than chromite and has the option to acquire up to an 80-percent working interest in all other metals found within the claims. The asset comprises 1,024 hectares and is within 300 meters of Wyloo Metal’s (formerly Noront Resources) Eagle’s Nest nickel-copper massive sulphide deposit.
The Ring of Fire asset is a future key project that will be given further attention as the Ring of Fire regional infrastructure and First Nation agreements are developed.
In June 2024, Bold Ventures signed an agreement to option a 100 percent interest in two claim groups out of the 14 claim groups within the Ring of Fire region to an arm’s-length party. The two claim groups total 1,050 hectares and comprise approximately 90 claim units. The option agreement includes aggregate cash payments totaling C$135,000 and aggregate exploration expenditures of C$250,000 over a four-year period. The deal also includes a 3 percent net smelter royalty for Bold, after the optionee earns a 100 percent interest by fulfilling the terms of the agreement.

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the "Company" or "Bold") is pleased to announce that the Company will have a booth at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention from March 2nd to 5th (booth #2610). The Company's President and COO, Bruce MacLachlan, the Company's V.P. Exploration, Coleman Robertson, and the Company's CEO, David Graham, will be present for the duration of the conference, as well as the preceding Metals Investor Forum from February 28th to March 1st.
The Bold exhibition booth will showcase various samples, maps and photographs from the Company's Burchell Gold and Copper Project, the Company's Traxxin Gold Project, and the Company's Wilcorp Gold Project, all located between Thunder Bay and Atikokan, Ontario. Of particular interest is the recent high-grade gold discovery at the Burchell Project. The 111 Zone discovery yielded impressive gold values ranging from 10 ppb Au up to 68,000 ppb Au (68 g/t Au or 2.2 oz./t Au). See Bold press releases dated December 12, 2024and January 9, 2025. The exhibition booth will also showcase more recently obtained results from the three properties, see Bold press release dated January 17, 2025.
Winter Plans
The Company is also pleased to announce plans for winter exploration on the Burchell and Traxxin properties, which will involve test lines of Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Magnetometer ground geophysics.
At Burchell the target areas will be the new 111 Zone as well as the northwest part of the Property, where the Moss Gold Trend (along strike from the Moss Gold Deposit) is projected to pass through the Bold claim group for approximately 1.8 km, and where historical diamond drilling returned a best intersection of 0.9 g/t Au over 6.4 meters.
At Traxxin the target area will be the Traxxin Main Zone, where 2021 drilling by Bold returned up to 3.6 g/t Au over 12.3 m (including 6.1 g/t Au over 4.9 m), and its northern extension onto Bedivere Lake, where new anomalous gold values were obtained on an island in the fall of 2024. The survey will also cover two subparallel conductive trends to the west and east of the Traxxin Main Zone which require further investigation. The conductive trends were identified in a 2017 induced polarization (I.P.) survey.
A summary of recent developments for Bold's Burchell, Traxxin, Wilcorp and Farwell properties is provided below. The three news releases linked above provide more details and figures relating to these developments. More information on the properties can also be found in the web pages linked below in each section.
Burchell Gold-Copper Project
In 2024 the 111 Zone was discovered in the central part of the Burchell Property, returning between 10 ppb Au and 68 g/t Au in a 3+ meter wide zone of sheared, altered volcanic rocks. The zone is situated within a northeast-trending magnetic low, possibly corresponding to a structural corridor which traverses the property for more than 10 km. Little historical exploration is documented in the immediate area, with the closest significant gold showing being 3 km along strike to the southwest, returning historical values up to 42.2 g/t Au over 0.6 m in a chip sample (Osmani 2017, see reference below).
A November 2024 MMITM soil survey, in the northwest corner of the property, was designed to test the strike extension of the Moss Trend on the adjacent Moss Gold Property to the west, one of several subparallel polymetallic trends in the region (see Goldshore Resources Inc.'s September 28, 2023 news release.) The 74-sample MMI soil survey returned coincident gold, copper and molybdenum anomalies, as well as zinc anomalies.
The Burchell Gold-Copper Project is located approximately 105 km west of the port city of Thunder Bay in the south-central portion of Northwestern Ontario (see the Burchell Location Map). The claims are accessible via logging roads and secondary Highway 802 south from Trans-Canada Highway 11 travelling west from Thunder Bay. For additional information regarding the Burchell Gold-Copper Project visit the Burchell Gold-Copper Project Page.

Traxxin Gold Project
In late 2024, prospecting was carried out on an island northeast of the Traxxin Main Zone. Assay results ranged from Traxxin Gold Project Page.
The Traxxin claim group is located 130 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario (see the Traxxin Gold Project Location Map). The claims are road accessible via TransCanada Highway 11. Local infrastructure includes rail, power and an experienced mineral exploration workforce and mining supply, all located within hours of the property.
Wilcorp Gold Project
In September 2024, a grab sample from a historical pit on the Wilcorp Property returned 16.3 g/t Au. A second phase of sampling in November yielded assays from 207 ppb to 7.28 g/t gold 60 meters along strike to the west-southwest. This trend is sub-parallel to a second trend 15-25 meters across strike to the southeast, which was sampled by Bold in 2012 along a length of 40 meters, returning from 140 ppb Au up to 14.4 g/t Au. This area, historically referred to as the Eagle Prospect, was previously mechanically stripped, sampled, and drilled, returning a best intersection of 1.8 g/t Au over 7.6 m in drill core.
Another gold bearing trend, approximately 170 meters in length, was also identified in 2024. Located approximately 75 meters across strike to the south of the historical trenches noted above, sampling returned a range of values from
Finally, a new anomaly of 333 ppb Au was obtained in the southern part of the property, associated with strong I.P. chargeable and conductive anomalies.
The Wilcorp claim group is located approximately 13 km east of the town of Atikokan, Ontario (see the Wilcorp Gold Project Location Map) in McCaul Township, and 17 km south of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef deposit, which contains combined reserves and resources of 5.6 Moz of gold at 0.71 gpt Au (Agnico Eagle website, 2022). For a full description of the Wilcorp Gold Project visit the Wilcorp Gold-Project Page.
Farwell Gold-Copper Project
In January of this year, Bold signed an amendment to the Farwell Property Option Agreement. Details of the amended agreement are presented in the news release dated January 17, 2025 linked above.
Bold Ventures has submitted an early exploration permit application to the Ontario Mining Lands Administration System that anticipates an exploration program consisting of geophysical and geochemical surveys and diamond drilling. The Company is currently negotiating exploration agreements with local First Nation interests.
No field work was carried out on the Farwell Property during 2024.
The Farwell claim group is located in the east Lake Superior region of Northeastern Ontario approximately 55 km northwest of Wawa, Ontario (see the Farwell Gold-Copper Location Map). The Trans-Canada Highway 17 connects Wawa with Sault Ste. Marie to the south and the towns of White River and Marathon to the northwest. For a full description of the Farwell Gold-Copper Project visit the Farwell Gold-Copper Project Page.

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the "Company" or "Bold") is pleased to announce that the Company has staked 208 single cell claims covering 4180 hectares. The property, named the Springpole East Gold Project, is located 120 km east-northeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario, and 9 km east of the Springpole Gold Deposit of First Mining Gold Corp ("First Mining") (Figure 1), which contains a resource of 4.6 Moz Au @ 0.94 gt Au in the Indicated Mineral Resource category and 0.3 Moz Au @ 0.54 gt Au in the Inferred Mineral Resources category (First Mining website).
Additionally, the Canamer or Birch Lake East Occurrence is located approximately 1.3 km west of the Property boundary, where First Mining obtained a result of 15.3 g/t Au from a grab sample in 2022 (First Mining January 17, 2023 news release). The showing is hosted in banded iron formation, a rock type which has been mapped in the northwest part of the Springpole East Property, corresponding to prominent magnetic anomalies (see Figure 2).
The Property area was most recently explored in 2022 by GoldON Resources Ltd. ("GoldON"), which carried out a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey as well as prospecting programs, resulting in the discovery of angular boulders of altered granitic rock returning from 191 to 1270 ppb Au (GoldON October 9, 2022 news release). From an historical perspective the property area has seen very little systematic exploration work (see Figure 2).
The Company also reports that it has granted 2,200,000 options to Bold's Management. Directors, Consultants and Advisors. The options will expire in five years and have an exercise price of 7 cents ($0.07) representing a 40% premium to the closing price of the Company's common shares on January 22, 2025. These newly issued options bring the total issued to 74% of the available options under the Company's Stock Option Plan.
The technical information in this news release was reviewed and approved by Coleman Robertson, B.Sc., P. Geo., the Company's V.P. Exploration and a qualified person (QP) for the purposes of NI 43-101.

Halcones Precious Metals (TSXV:HPM) is a gold exploration company focused on advancing its high-grade Polaris project in northern Chile, a premier mining region with excellent infrastructure. Polaris hosts multiple surface targets with significant gold values across a large, underexplored property, offering investors exposure to a high-potential discovery in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.
The Polaris Project is located within the metallogenic belt of the Atacama Fault Zone, a major geological corridor known for hosting numerous significant mineral deposits across Chile. Gold mineralization at Polaris is largely controlled by major structures, including the Izcuña and Médano faults, which provided pathways for mineralizing fluids and led to the formation of vein-hosted and stockwork-style gold deposits.
Currently, exploration efforts are focused on two main target areas in the southern part of the property adjacent to the Atacama fault:

Halcones Precious Metals offers investors exposure to a high-grade gold exploration opportunity in mining-friendly Chile, with multiple surface targets showing significant gold values on a large underexplored property that benefits from excellent infrastructure.
Halcones Precious Metals (TSXV:HPM) is an emerging gold exploration company with a strategic focus on developing high-potential precious metals projects in Chile. The company's flagship Polaris project is located in the prolific mining region of northern Chile, approximately 150 km south of Antofagasta and 70 km north of Taltal.
Chile is one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions, known for its stable regulatory framework, developed infrastructure, and rich mineral endowment. The country is the world's largest copper producer and has a long history of successful mining operations by both major and junior companies. Chile's mining-friendly policies, skilled workforce, and established support services make it an attractive destination for mineral exploration and development.
The gold market is currently experiencing favorable macroeconomic tailwinds. Persistent global inflation concerns, geopolitical uncertainties, and central bank gold purchasing have pushed gold prices to record levels in 2025. As investors seek safe-haven assets amid economic volatility, gold exploration companies with promising early-stage assets like Halcones are well-positioned to capitalize on these market conditions.
The Polaris project is Halcones' flagship asset located in Chile's Coastal Belt, a region known for its significant mining history and mineral potential. The 5,777.5-hectare property is easily accessible via the Pan-American Highway and Route B-710, situated only 4 km from the Pacific Ocean. This strategic location provides exceptional logistical advantages, including proximity to the major mining center of Antofagasta, the ports of Antofagasta and Mejillones, and established power infrastructure.
The project is situated within the metallogenic belt of the Atacama Fault Zone, a major geological structure that hosts numerous significant mineral deposits throughout Chile. Mineralization at Polaris is primarily controlled by major faults, including the Izcuña Fault and Médano Fault, which created open spaces for mineralizing fluids, resulting in vein-hosted and stockwork gold mineralization.
Currently, exploration efforts are focused on two main target areas in the southern part of the property adjacent to the Atacama fault:
Historical mining at Polaris dates back to the early 20th century, when artisanal miners extracted high-grade gold from quartz veins and breccias. In the 1970s, smaller operations by local miners extracted approximately 5 tons of material per month over a decade. Despite this history of production, the property has never been systematically explored using modern techniques.
Recent surface sampling programs have significantly expanded the known mineralized footprint, extending the gold-bearing trend to 3.9 km with potential extensions of 2 km north and 1.5 km south. Chip channel samples have returned impressive values including 29.04, 20.05, 13.08, and 10.67 grams per ton (g/t) gold. The gold mineralization is strongly related to diorite rocks and quartz veins, with extensive stockwork veining indicating a well-developed system.
A particularly promising aspect of the Polaris project is the potential for bulk-minable stockwork mineralization. Gold-bearing stockwork has been mapped over a 250 m x 500 m area, with unknown limits. Initial surface sampling returned encouraging results, including an 85-meter channel sample averaging 1.21 g/t gold and a 30-meter sample in an old adit averaging 1.02 g/t gold.
The geological setting at Polaris is analogous to certain well-known Abitibi gold deposits such as Sigma-Lamaque, Dome and Goldex. Like these deposits, Polaris is:
With most of the large property remaining unexplored, Halcones is committed to an aggressive exploration program, including plans to complete 2,000 meters of drilling within 12 months as part of its acquisition commitments. The near-surface nature of the mineralization suggests potential for cost-effective open-pit mining if sufficient resources are delineated.
