BOLD VENTURES COMMENCES DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM AT BURCHELL BASE AND PRECIOUS METALS PROJECT
Bold Ventures Inc. has commenced a diamond drilling program on its Burchell base and precious metals project, located approximately 100 kilometres (km) west of Thunder Bay, Ont.
The program is expected to exceed 1,000 metres of drilling, which will firstly test the 111 zone and other nearby targets, which were the focus of a mechanical stripping program last fall. A 14-metre-wide discontinuous anomalous gold zone was identified at the 111 zone adjacent to a 15-metre-wide discontinuous anomalous zinc-copper zone (see Bold's news release dated Dec. 2, 2025). One grab sample at the 111 zone previously returned 68 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) (see Bold's news release dated Jan. 9, 2025). Drilling is also planned to test the northwest corner of the property, where the Moss trend is interpreted to pass through and where 2024-2025 soil sampling yielded significant Au, molybdenum (Mo) and copper (Cu) anomalies (see Bold's news release dated July 21, 2025), as well as the Hermia Cu-Au prospect in the western part of the property, where historical drilling intersected broad anomalous copper zones (see the Burchell gold review on Bold's website and Bold's December, 2025, corporate presentation for more information).
Drilling is being carried out by Rugged Aviation Inc., based in Murillo, Ont.
Bruce MacLachlan, president and chief operating officer of Bold, stated, "We are beyond excited to get started on Bold's maiden drill program on the Burchell property, which will test major underexplored gold and base metal trends on which many targets, to the best of our knowledge, have never been drilled."
Bold Ventures management believes our suite of battery, critical and precious metals exploration projects are an ideal combination of exploration potential meeting future demand. Our target commodities comprise: copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and chromium (Cr). The critical metals list and a description of the provincial and federal electrification plans are posted on the Bold website.
