Bold Ventures Highlights Burchell Gold
Copper Project News
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 20, 2025) - Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the
"
Company
" or "
Bold
") is pleased to highlight news from the area of its Burchell Gold and Copper
Property ("Burchell" or the "Property"), while anticipating channel sampling results from its recent
mechanical stripping program at Burchell. Nearly 300 channel samples are currently being analyzed, with
sampling ongoing.
Gold X2 Mining Inc. ("Gold X2"), which holds the Moss Project adjoining Burchell to the west, recently
announced a definitive agreement to acquire Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (
GoldX2 October 1, 2025 news
release
), their neighbour to the west where they have recently been exploring the Huronian Gold Project.
The acquisition reflects Gold X2's strategy of consolidating their land position in the western portion of
the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt. See
Map of Land Positions and Major Showings
for locations of
these land positions relative to the Burchell Property.
Bold Management shares the belief in the district's significant potential for new discoveries. During the
past summer, Bold identified a 2.9 km trend of gold mineralization in rock sampling (
Bold September
11, 2025 news release
). Following this, the exploration team has recently exposed and sampled
bedrock in 8 different locations along a 900-meter portion of this "111 Gold Trend." All 8 stripped areas
have never been explored in the past, demonstrating the untapped potential of the area and the Burchell
claim group.
Gold X2 also recently announced the delineation of a 5 km trend of gold mineralization south of the Moss
Trend, outlining several targets which mirror the geochemical and geophysical fingerprints of the Moss
Gold Deposit (
Gold X2 October 16, 2025 news release
). Based on this interpretation, it appears that the
anomalous in gold Deaty Trend strikes northeast towards the Burchell Gold and Copper Project
boundary. The southwest end of the 111 Gold Trend is located within 800 m of the west boundary, where
a new gold showing named the "Moosehead Zone" was identified earlier in the summer, hosted in
sheared quartz feldspar porphyry, with one grab sample returning 371 ppb Au (see
Bold's September
11, 2025 news release
). Further north of the Moosehead Zone, historic trenches have reportedly yielded
a chip sample of 42.2 g/t Au over 0.6 meters (Osmani 2017), approximately 600 meters from the
western property boundary. The Hermia Copper Prospect is located approximately 900 m from the
Burchell west boundary. See
Map of Land Positions and Major Showings
. While the results of the Gold
X2 work adjacent to Burchell is very encouraging it does not indicate that the same conditions exist
within the Burchell claims.
Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold, commented, "The activity by Gold X2 and our own
exploration programs this year mark an exciting new era for the western Shebandowan Greenstone Belt,
especially with gold prices surging to all-time highs. We are anticipating results from our channel
sampling program and our next step will be to prepare for a drill program."
The Hermia Cu Prospect
- Located in the western part of the property, hosted in a zone of deformed
felsic to mafic volcanics containing Cu mineralization associated with minor Au, Ag, Mo, Zn and Ni.
Historical diamond drilling was carried out over a strike length of 2.8 km from 1964 to 2008.
Intersections in core include 0.8% Cu over 4.3 m, 0.25% Cu over 51.9 m, and 1.68 g/t Au over 1.45 m
(Ontario Assessment File Database). See
Map of Hermia Copper Trend
(from Osmani 2017).
A diamond drilling data compilation is currently ongoing for the Burchell Property, which will inform the
next steps for exploring the Hermia Cu Prospect, which to date hosts the most significant copper
mineralization on the property.
Ring of Fire Optimism:
Bold Ventures would like to draw attention to the recent
CIM Northern Luncheon
in North Bay, an event
