Bolt Metals Welcomes Gold Price Momentum as it Prepares for 2025 Exploration at

Northwind Project

Vancouver, British Columbia – February 13, 2025 – Bolt Metals Corp. (“Bolt” or

the “Company”) (CSE: BOLT) (OTCQB: PCRCF) (FSE: A3D8AK), a North American mineral

acquisition and exploration company, is encouraged by recent strength in the price of gold and its

potential positive impact on the Company's Northwind Gold Project in Quebec. With gold prices

expected to exceed USD $3,000 per ounce in 2025, Bolt is strategically positioned to leverage

this strong market environment for growth and value creation.

Gold Prices on the Rise

Industry analysts predict continued upward momentum in gold prices, with projections ranging

between USD $2,800 and USD $3,275 per ounce for 2025. This follows gold’s exceptional 35%

gain in 2024, driven by central bank purchases, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty.

Major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs and Citibank, anticipate gold to remain a

safe-haven asset amid global market volatility. The de -dollarization trend, led by countries

diversifying reserves away from the U.S. dollar, continues to drive demand for physical gold,

further supporting price stability (Sources: InvestingHaven, Market Insiders).

Strategic Timing for Northwind Gold Project

Bolt Metals' Northwind Gold Project, located in the gold-rich Abitibi region of Quebec, is primed

to benefit from these market conditions. The project sits in a historically prolific gold belt and

features high-potential exploration targets. Rising gold prices enhance the value of new

discoveries, creating a compelling opportunity for further exploration and development.

“As central banks accelerate gold purchases and inflationary pressures persist, we see a strong

case for gold prices remaining elevated,” said Branden Haynes, CEO of Bolt Metals. “This market

environment is ideal for advancing our Northwind Gold Project, and we are committed to unlocking

its full potential.”

Next Steps

Bolt Metals is planning its 2025 exploration program for Northwind, which is anticipated to include

geophysical surveys and diamond drilling to define and test high-grade gold targets. With a bullish

gold price outlook, the company is well-positioned to deliver shareholder value through strategic

development and exploration success.
