Bold Ventures Commences Summer Fieldwork at Burchell, Follows up at 111 Zone and JET Rare Earth Element System

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the "Company" or "Bold") is pleased to announce the commencement of summer fieldwork at its Burchell Project (the "Project" or the "Property"), located 100 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. As a result of Bold's winter drilling program (additional sample results are pending), Bold's technical team has begun planning the next drill program at Burchell. The two areas of focus will be the 111 Zone and southwest strike extension, and the newly named JET REE Zone and other areas of the host Hermia Pluton (see Bold News release dated June 3, 2026).

A reinterpretation of the geophysical and geochemical data along with mineralogical studies will assist in the goal of detailing the JET REE mineralized zone. The drilling program will be finalized after receipt of the remaining drill results. The priorities for the next phase of drilling will be to extend hole BL-26-05a at the JET REE Zone and to test below and along trend of this hole as well as Hole BL-26-01 at the 111 Zone.

The 111 Gold and Base Metals Zone

Bold's 2025/26 exploration programs identified an extensive gold and zinc +/- copper system along contact zones between volcanic units and spatially associated with quartz feldspar porphyry sills (see Bold news releases dated August 18, 2025, September 11, 2025, and December 2, 2025). Winter 2026 diamond drilling at the 111 Zone yielded 0.42 g/t gold over 19.0 meters, 0.33% zinc over 19.0 m, and 0.18% copper over 9.0 meters in hole BL-26-01 drilled directly beneath the zone (see Bold news release dated March 19, 2026).

The JET REE Zone

The Hermia Pluton is found within the northern part of the Property, where diamond drilling recently discovered a rare earth element system, with the entirety of hole BL-26-05a averaging 1022 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) over 55.2 meters following 55.8 meters of sandy, gravelly overburden (see Bold news release dated June 3, 2026).

Field work has commenced including mapping and sampling along the 111 Zone trend, which will focus on prospective geological contact zones and areas where gold anomalies were identified along strike to the southwest of the 111 Zone, towards the Property boundary with Gold X2 Mining Inc.'s Moss Project.

Prospecting, sampling and mapping within the Hermia Pluton will initially focus on outcrops previously mapped by the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS). Findings from the field program combined with geophysical, geochemical and mineralogical studies will inform the follow up drilling program.

Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold Ventures, stated: "We are excited to get back out onto the Property and explore, applying the knowledge gained from the 2025 field programs and the Winter 2026 drill program, as we await final drilling results from the northwest corner of the Property."
