Bold Ventures Showcases New Gold Discovery and Recent New Results at Vancouver Resource Conferences

Bold Ventures Showcases New Gold Discovery and Recent New Results at Vancouver Resource Conferences

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the "Company" or "Bold") is pleased to announce that the Company will have booths at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) from January 19 to 20 (booth 520), and AME Roundup from January 22 to 23 (booth 1524). The Company's President and COO, Bruce MacLachlan, and the Company's V.P. Exploration, Coleman Robertson, will be present for the duration of these two conferences, as well as the preceding Metals Investor Forum from January 17 to 18.

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. 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, 2024 and January 9, 2025. The exhibition booth will also showcase newly obtained results from recent sampling programs at the three properties, which Bold is pleased to present below.

Burchell Gold-Copper Project - MMITM Soil Sampling Results

Results have recently been obtained from a November 2024 MMITM soil survey in the northwest corner of the Burchell Property, 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). 74 samples were collected on four northwest-southeast lines, perpendicular to the general strike of the country rocks and regional gold trends. Lines were spaced at 200-250 meters, 550-1100 m in length, with 50-meter sample station spacing.

Response ratios (RRs) were calculated for each sample by element, according to SGS guidelines, which state that 'response ratios in general need to be greater than 2-5 times background before being considered "anomalous".' Notable results include several coincident gold (Au) – copper (Cu) – molybdenum (Mo) response ratios >10 in the northern half of the survey (see Figure 1), with Au RRs up to 40; Cu RRs up to 61, and Mo RRs up to 369. Other notable results include zinc (Zn) RRs up to 93 and uranium (U) RRs up to 52. These anomalies provide a basis for further exploration in this area, which could include infill soil sampling or ground geophysics to better define targets for drilling.

The Burchell Gold-Base Metal Project is located approximately 105 km west of the port city of Thunder Bay in the south-central portion of Northwestern Ontario (see Figure 2). 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 here.

Traxxin Gold Project - Prospecting and Sampling Results

Recent assay results ranging from 345 ppb Au have been obtained from 20 grab samples collected during a November 2024 prospecting and sampling program at the Traxxin Property. 3 gold anomalies from 170 ppb Au to 345 ppb Au were obtained from samples of strained, silicified tonalite with local quartz veining in outcrop on an island northeast of the Traxxin Main Zone (see Figure 3). The November program took advantage of lower-than-average water levels to carry out shoreline prospecting. Descriptions of anomalous samples are included in Table 1 below. These results suggest that gold-bearing shear zones extend northeast from the mainland into Bedivere Lake, which warrants further investigation through ground geophysics and diamond drilling. For a full description of the Traxxin Gold project visit the Traxxin Gold Project Page here.

The Traxxin claim group is located 130 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario (see Figure 2). 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 - Prospecting and Sampling Results

Assays from 7.28 g/t gold (Au) have been obtained from 26 grab samples collected during a November 2024 prospecting and sampling program at the Wilcorp Property. The 7.28 g/t Au result corresponds to a sample of silicified mafic schist with 4-5% disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite, in trench rubble / subcrop located approximately 60 meters along strike to the west-southwest of a September 2024 sample which returned 16.3 g/t Au (see October 31, 2024 news release and Figure 4 and Figure 5). These results, in conjunction with September 2024 and 2012 results, suggest two sub-parallel gold-bearing zones in this area (see Figure 5).

Other newly identified anomalies include: 278 ppb Au from quartz vein subcrop close to where the historical Eagle Prospect is thought to be located (see Figure 4), as well as 333 ppb Au from subcrop of chlorite carbonate schist with quartz veining in the southern part of the Property, associated with strong I.P. and E.M. anomalies (see Figure 4). Descriptions of anomalous samples are included in Table 1 below.

The Wilcorp claim group is located approximately 13 km east of the town of Atikokan, Ontario (see Figure 2) 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).

Ring of Fire News

The Company congratulates Canada Chrome Corporation ("CCC") for its recent selection as a member of the USA Defence Industrial Base Consortium. The press release can be accessed through this link.

The Black Horse Chromite Deposit is part of the Koper Lake Project where CCC is the Operator of the chromite exploration effort. Bold owns a 10% carried interest (through to production) in the Black Horse Chromite NI 43-101 Inferred Resource of 85.9 Mt grading 34.5% Cr2O3 at a cut-off of 20% Cr2O3 (KWG Resources Inc., NI 43-101 Technical Report, Aubut 2015). Additionally, Bold owns a 40% working interest in all other metals found within the Koper Lake claims and has the right to earn up to an 80% working interest in all other metals. Bold has the Right of First Refusal on a 1% NSR covering all metals found within the claim group.

The Black Horse is contiguous with the Blackbird Chromite deposits owned by Wyloo, Ring of Fire Ltd. (formerly Noront Resources Inc.). Of additional note, the Koper Lake claims are located approximately 300 m from Ring of Fire Metal's Eagle's Nest Ni-Cu Massive Sulphide Deposit that is in the permit acquisition stage. Chromite, nickel and copper are critical minerals that will play an important role in the electrification plans of Ontario and North America. The Company is encouraged by these ongoing developments in this emerging critical mineral mining camp.

The environmental assessment process for all-weather road access to the Ring of Fire is being developed as three proposed road projects: the Northern Road Link, the Marten Falls Community Access Road and the Webeque Supply Road. Information and progress regarding these projects may be accessed via the links provided on Bold's Critical and Battery Metals page.

Farwell Gold-Copper Project

Bold is pleased to announce that it has signed a fourth amendment to the Farwell Property Option Agreement dated March 12, 2020 (the "Farwell Option Agreement") between three arms-length individuals as Vendors and Bold as the Optionee of the property.

On July 3, 2023, the Company and the Vendors entered into a First Amending Agreement (the "Farwell First Amendment") to amend the Farwell Option Agreement. Subsequently, on September 13, 2023, the Company and the Vendors entered into a Second Amending Agreement (the "Farwell Second Amendment") to further amend the Farwell Option Agreement (see Bold press release dated October 3, 2023). On April 23, 2024, the Vendors and Bold entered into a Third Amending Agreement (the "Farwell Third Amendment" and together with the Farwell First Amendment and Farwell Second Amendment, the "Amended Farwell Option Agreement") (see Bold press release dated April 29, 2024) to amend the Farwell Option Agreement.

The Vendors and Bold have now signed a Fourth Amending Agreement (the "Farwell Fourth Amendment") amending the Amended Farwell Option Agreement such that the Option can be exercised by the issuance of an aggregate of 1,550,000 common shares of Bold ("Shares") (reducing the total number of Shares Issuable by 100,000), 750,000 Shares of which have already been issued, the payment of an aggregate of $95,000 in cash (reducing the cash consideration from $225,000), $75,000 of which has already been paid, and expending $550,000 on exploration (reducing the exploration expenditure from $1,000,000), $250,000 of which expenditures have been made.

In consideration for entering into the Farwell Fourth Amendment, the Vendors will be paid $5,000 and issued 200,000 Shares following receipt of regulatory approval to the Farwell Fourth Amendment and receipt of an exploration permit and an exploration agreement that allows for the exploration of the Property. The following are the new schedules of cash payments, Share issuances and expenditure requirements:

a cash payment of $5,000 will be due on or before September 1, 2025; and

a cash payment of $10,000 will be due on or before September 1, 2026,

for aggregate cash payments of $15,000;

200,000 Shares to be issued on or before September 1, 2025; and

400,000 Shares to be issued on or before September 1, 2026,

for aggregate Share issuances of 600,000 Shares;

an aggregate of $350,000 of exploration work to be completed by September 1, 2025; and

an aggregate of $550,000 of exploration work to be completed by September 1, 2026.

The Vendors retain a 3% Net Smelter Royalty (3% NSR) in the property. This Farwell Fourth Amendment increases the cost of Bold's right to buy back half (1.5%) of the 3% NSR from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 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.

If a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report is prepared on the Property with an indicated resource of at least 250,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent and approved by all necessary regulatory authorities, the Vendors shall be paid the additional sum of $150,000. If a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report is prepared on the Property with an indicated resource of at least 500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent, approved by all necessary regulatory authorities, the Vendors shall be paid the additional sum of $250,000.

All Shares to be issued will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issuance. The Farwell Fourth Amendment is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Bold Ventures has submitted an early exploration permit application to the Ontario Mineral 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.

The Farwell claim group is located in the east Lake Superior region of Northeastern Ontario approximately 55 km northwest of Wawa, Ontario (see Figure 2). 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.

Group Eleven Drills Best Hole Yet at Ballywire: 39.7m of 9.5% Zn+Pb, 131 g/t Ag and 0.27% Cu, incl. 5.6m of 16.6% Zn+Pb, 370 g/t Ag and 0.86% Cu

Group Eleven Drills Best Hole Yet at Ballywire: 39.7m of 9.5% Zn+Pb, 131 g/t Ag and 0.27% Cu, incl. 5.6m of 16.6% Zn+Pb, 370 g/t Ag and 0.86% Cu

Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSXV: ZNG) (OTCQB: GRLVF) (FSE: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the latest step-out drill results from the Zn-Pb-Ag horizon at its Ballywire discovery ("Ballywire") at the 100%-owned PG West Project ("PG West"), Republic of Ireland. Drilling at Ballywire's deeper, Cu-Ag target is in progress (to be reported in due course).

Highlights:

  • 25-3552-35 (a 50m step-out to the NE from previous drilling, along the Zn-Pb-Ag horizon) intersected:
    • 53.9m of 7.9% Zn+Pb (4.7% Zn and 3.2% Pb), 99 g/t Ag and 0.20% Cu, including
    • 39.7m of 9.5% Zn+Pb (5.6% Zn and 3.9% Pb), 131 g/t Ag and 0.27% Cu, including
    • 18.3m of 16.1% Zn+Pb (8.9% Zn and 7.2% Pb), 233 g/t Ag and 0.42% Cu, including
    • 5.6m of 16.6% Zn+Pb (8.0% Zn and 8.5% Pb), 370 g/t Ag and 0.86% Cu
    • True thickness is estimated to be 90-100% of the intervals noted above and below
  • Three Cu-Ag enriched zones were also intersected below the above intercept in the same hole:
    • 5.5m of 3.2% Zn+Pb (0.9% Zn and 2.2% Pb), 209 g/t Ag and 0.49% Cu, including
      • 0.9m of 2.1% Zn+Pb (1.5% Zn and 0.6% Pb), 831 g/t Ag and 2.46% Cu and
    • 0.9m of 195 g/t Ag and 0.21% Cu and
    • 3.5m of 7.1% Zn+Pb (3.5% Zn and 3.6% Pb), 134 g/t Ag and 0.34% Cu, including
      • 0.9m of 3.5% Zn+Pb (0.5% Zn and 3.0% Pb), 224 g/t Ag and 0.63% Cu
  • These results extend the strike length of the immediate Ballywire discovery corridor from 1,250m to 1,300m, while demonstrating much thicker mineralization than previously encountered
  • This corridor is hosted within a larger 2.6km long trend of robust mineralization pierced by drilling at Ballywire to date, along a prospective trend of over 6km (defined by four regional gravity-high anomalies, only one of which has been systematically drill tested to date)
  • Today's elevated Cu-Ag values further substantiate the Company's 'deeper Cu-Ag' target (100-200m below the Zn-Pb-Ag horizon), currently being drill tested (second hole in progress)
  • Three rigs are turning at Ballywire with over 4,000m of drilling completed year-to-date; Group Eleven aims to complete 8,000-10,000m in 2025 (fully funded)

"Today's hole represents our thickest intercept yet at the Ballywire discovery, surpassing our 29.6 metres of 10.6% Zn+Pb, 78 g/t Ag and 0.15% Cu announced in June 2024," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "Not only does this intercept extend strike and show exceptional mineralized thickness but also demonstrates zones of strong copper-silver values. This adds to growing evidence suggesting a deeper Cu-Ag horizon one to two hundred metres below the main Ballywire discovery horizon. This deeper target is currently being drilled, with one hole finished and a second started. We look forward to releasing these results as soon as assays are available. With three rigs turning each on excellent targets at Ballywire and a recently announced strengthened cash position of C$4.3 million, Group Eleven is poised to keep generating shareholder value through the drill bit for the foreseeable future."

Ballywire Drill Update

The Ballywire prospect at the Company's 100%-owned PG West Project in Republic of Ireland, represents the most significant mineral discovery in Ireland in over a decade. First announced in Sept-2022, the discovery has 53 holes drilled and reported by Group Eleven to date, including the most recent hole (25-3552-35) reported today (see Exhibits 1 to 3).

Drilling at Ballywire continues with three rigs. Currently, eight (8) new holes are completed (and in the process of being logged, sampled and assayed). Six of these holes are shown in Exhibit 1, with two other holes near gravity-high anomaly 'D' (located 1.3km to the ENE). Recently strengthened financial position provides Group Eleven flexibility to either ramp-up drilling in 2025 and/or extend its runway for drilling well into 2026.

Assays from 25-3552-35 are summarized below (see Exhibit 3). Strong mineralization starts to occur within the Waulsortian Limestone at 120.6m downhole and continues intermittently until 187.9m, at which point, mineralization becomes more consistent through to near the base of the Waulsortian Limestone at 242.9m. Below the Waulsortian Limestone, several horizons of elevated copper-silver occur. Mineralization consists predominantly of sphalerite, galena and pyrite, with the copper-silver bearing zones also containing chalcopyrite and suspected tennantite-tetrahedrite.

Note: True thickness of the mineralized interval in hole 25-3552-35, as a percentage of the down-hole interval, is estimated to be 90-100%

Notes to Exhibit 4: (a) Pallas Green MRE is owned by Glencore (see Glencore's Resources and Reserves Report dated December 31, 2024); (b) Stonepark MRE: see the 'NI 43-101 Independent Report on the Zinc-Lead Exploration Project at Stonepark, County Limerick, Ireland', by Gordon, Kelly and van Lente, with an effective date of April 26, 2018, as found on SEDAR; and (c) the historic estimate at Denison was reported by Westland Exploration Limited in 'Report on Prospecting Licence 464' by Dermot Hughes dated May, 1988; the historic estimate at Gortdrum was reported in 'The Geology and Genesis of the Gortdrum Cu-Ag-Hg Orebody' by G.M. Steed dated 1986; and the historic estimate at Tullacondra was first reported by Munster Base Metals Ltd in 'Report on Mallow Property' by David Wilbur, dated December 1973; and later summarized in 'Cu-Ag Mineralization at Tullacondra, Mallow, Co. Cork' by Wilbur and Carter in 1986; the above three historic estimates have not been verified as current mineral resources; none of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to prepare the historic estimates were reported and no resource categories were used; significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person before the historic estimates can be verified and upgraded to be compliant with current NI 43-101 standards; a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify them as a current mineral resource and the Company is not treating the historic estimates as current mineral resources. 'Rathdowney Trend' is the south-westerly projection of the Rathdowney Trend, hosting the historic Lisheen and Galmoy mines.
