Bold Ventures Receives Assays up to 16.3 gpt Au at its Wilcorp Property

 

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the "Company" or "Bold") announces that it has received assays ranging from

The 16.3 gpt Au sample corresponds to a 10 cm quartz vein in an old pit and stripped area, 35 meters northeast of a 2012 sample which returned 14.4 gpt Au. Additional sampling 100 meters further south yielded gold results up to 892 ppb Au from intermediate schist with quartz-ankerite veining in outcrop, 25 meters west of a 2012 sample which returned 462 ppb Au. An angular boulder of intermediate schist with quartz veining 45 meters east of the 2012 sample returned 110 ppb Au. See Figure 1 for thematic Au results across the property to date, and Table 1 below for sample descriptions and all Au results from the site visit.

Mineralization on the Wilcorp property is generally hosted in quartz-ankerite veining with pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite within approximately east-west shear zones. Bold carried out an Induced Polarization (I.P.) survey across the property in 2012, identifying several east-west IP chargeability anomalies (see Figure 1). Limited follow-up prospecting returned values ranging from

It is unknown whether this zone corresponds to the historical Eagle Prospect (or Agnico Eagle Occurrence), where 36 diamond drill holes were completed in 1946. According to two unpublished historical maps in the Thunder Bay resident geologist files, values of 11.1 gpt Au over 4.1m including 30.8 gpt Au over 0.8m were identified. These values are historically designated and unable to be substantiated.

 

The next phase of fieldwork will focus on locating historical workings, especially the Eagle Prospect, and prospecting in areas of known gold anomalies and I.P. trends. Trenching, channel sampling and soil sampling programs may be warranted to generate firm targets for diamond drilling. The 2024 Updated Wilcorp Gold Project Details may be accessed here.

QAQC Protocols

 

Grab samples were collected, documented and photographed in the field, then placed in sealed bags and delivered to Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) in Thunder Bay, which is an ISO / IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Grab sample collection is subject to Bold's internal quality assurance / quality control (QAQC) protocols, which include the insertion of blank material and certified reference material into each batch of samples submitted. Samples referenced in this news release were analyzed using ActLabs methods 1A2-50, a 50g fire assay with atomic absorption finish, with over-limit results analyzed using method 1A3-50, a 50g fire assay with gravimetric finish. Samples were also analyzed using ActLabs method UT-6M, a 4-acid near total digestion with ICP-MS / ICP-OES finish, yielding geochemical results for 49 elements.

 

About the Wilcorp Gold Project

 

The Wilcorp claim group is located approximately 13 km east of the town of Atikokan, Ontario in McCaul Township, and 17 km south of Agnico Eagle's (AEM.t) Hammond Reef deposit, which contains combined reserves and resources of 5.6 Moz of gold at 0.71 gpt Au (Agnico Eagle website, 2022). The Property consists of 18 staked claims and 4 patented claims covering 264 hectares.

 

Mineralization in the region is generally related to northeast-trending interpreted splays off the Quetico Fault, a regional transcurrent fault which separates the Wabigoon greenstone belt to the north from the Quetico metasedimentary belt to the south. Known prospects associated with an interpreted splay in the vicinity of the Wilcorp property include the Olcott Prospect and the past producing Sapawe gold mine.

Vertex Minerals Limited  Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Vertex Minerals Limited Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX,VTXXF) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) is pleased to announce that the underground mining operation is on track to be producing high grade gold feed to the recently commissioned gravity gold plant in the coming weeks.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Operational Milestones

o VTX remains firmly on track to commence production of high-grade ore from the underground mine in the forthcoming weeks.

o Transformer and cabling for the installation of 11kV high voltage underground power system on site with installation commenced.

o Preparations for the underground mine startup up progressing as planned and stripping of the main access is completed.

o New Aramine L350D has departed France for the journey to Hill End. Arrival in Orange NSW expected in by 26th August where it will be fitted with an RCT remote control system for open stoping operations.

o Mining the Reward Gold Mine - Resource 225kozs at 16.7g/t (VTX ASX Announcement 21 June 2023).

o Weekly Gold production Oz's from Stockpiles improving with depth in the stockpiles, with coarser particle size and better process throughput experienced.

- Mine start up

o Fan chambers have been excavated to provide secondary ventilation for production activities, exploration drilling and the future southern access toward the Fosters' exploration target.

o Primary ventilation fan has been installed and bulkhead completed.

o High voltage surface substation has been installed.

o High voltage cabling installation commences next week, with power up of the system scheduled for 28 July 2025.

o Stripping of the main accessis completed with the final elements of ground support (approx. 30m) to be completed before power cable installation starts next week.

o Cable bolts installed for the intersection of Lady Belmore exploration drive with first cut drilled out and ready to charge.

o Development Jumbo #1 (Epiroc T1D) is exceeding performance expectations.

o Dewatered of declines well underway.

o Mine schedule for FY26 finalised.

o First airleg stope secondary vent installed and specialty equipment on site to start first air leg stope.

o First long hole stope planned for August. High grade from airleg and longhole stopes to complement larger tonnage from development ore headings.

- People that have been onboarded

o 2x Drill Fitters and Heavy diesel fitter.

o Process superintendent commences next week.

o Full Tech team started including mine surveyor this week.

o Have back-to-back airleg miners for stoping.

o Full underground and mill crews.

- Improvements to plant

o DSM screen installed to improve product delivery to Wilfley Table.

o Gemini table improvements with new tabletop and gearbox improving final concentrate grade to over 20% gold (suitable for direct smelting to Dore on site).

o Process water pump upgrade improving ore washing and Tomra performance.

- Revised mine plan and schedule completed and ready to implement

- Updated Reward Gold mine mining plan and mine schedule completed.

- Adding a high-grade long hole stope upfront to be mined concurrently with the high grade airleg stope.

Vertex Director Declan Franzmann commented: "It is great to see all the elements of re-developing the underground mine and processing facility coming together so rapidly. The most pleasing aspect is our success in employing an incredible team of people to run the operation and all credit to management for developing great "esprit de corps" and a single sense of purpose as we push to full production."

As previously announced, the startup mine schedule includes mining 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au from a developed airleg stope block. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. (Refer to Table 1 in Appendices 1) (VTX ASX announcement 26/06/23).

Given this stope will take some time to extract, the Vertex geology and Mining Team have additionally brought forward a very high-grade long hole stope to commence mining in August as well. Further optimisations to the mining schedule will continue to be made.

This stope can be exploited as soon as services have been established. The mining crews have done a great job in the access drive to make room for the services (11kV cable, water and air lines) while improving accessibility for the mobile mining equipment selected for the Project.
