The Company completed the first phase of drilling at the Traxxin claim group in 2021. That program produced what management believes is the most important drill intersection to date from over thirty drill holes. Hole BV-21-04 encountered 3.6 g/t Au over 12.3 m below the previous drilling at the Main Zone. A 10 km long geophysical survey to track the Main Zone structure to the north is planned for early 2024. Based on these results, a phase 2 drilling program will be developed to extend the Main Zone to the northeast and at depth.
The Traxxin claim group is located 130 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. 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.
Burchell Prospecting
Bold's field crew has completed its work at the Burchell Battery and Precious Metals Project that was carried out during the month of September. This phase of work followed up on the interpretation of two historical airborne surveys carried out by Scott Hogg and Associates Geophysical Consultants Ltd. (SHAG). The field crew prospected a number of the locations of interest identified in the SHAG report (see Bold press release dated March 6, 2023) and completed the first phase coverage of the overall claim group.

The Vendors will retain a 3% Net Smelter Royalty (3% NSR) in the property. Bold has the right to buy back one-half of the 3.0% NSR for $2,000,000 leaving a 1.5% NSR in favour of the Vendors. The Company also has the right of first refusal to purchase the remaining 1.5% NSR.
The press release issued September 13, 2023, erroneously refers to the issuance of an additional 300,000 shares rather than 350,000 shares.
All shares to be issued will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issuance.
