Bold Reports Positive Results of Induced Polarization Survey at Joutel - Signs Investor Awareness Agreement
Bold Reports Positive Results of Induced
Polarization Survey at Joutel - Signs Investor
Awareness Agreement
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2026) - Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (OTCQB:
BVLDF) (the "
Company
" or "
Bold
") is pleased to announce the results from a Spring 2026 Induced
Polarization (IP) Survey at its Joutel Property (the "Property" or the "Project"), located 140 km northwest
of Val d'Or, Québec. The survey targeted Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM
TM
)
geophysical anomalies in the northern part of the property known to be spatially associated with
historical nickel, gold and silver anomalies in diamond drilling.
30 chargeability anomalies were identified on two grids (West and East grids), of which 14 are
considered first priority, with commonly moderate to strong chargeability associated with moderate to
high resistivity and contact or fault zones, with the potential for structurally controlled sulphide
mineralization.
Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold Ventures, stated: "The IP survey was successful in
detailing drill targets in the vicinity of historical values of nickel, gold and silver. The northern part of the
project area is now ready for drill testing. We anticipate a busy fall and winter season as we have
multiple projects that are essentially drill ready."
In other news
, the Company is pleased to announce that it has signed a one-year advertising and
investor awareness campaign agreement with Dig Media Inc., dba Investing News Network ("INN").
Based in Vancouver, Canada, INN has offices in Toronto, New York and San Francisco. INN has been
dedicated to providing independent news and education to investors since 2007. The term of the
engagement is twelve months commencing August 18, 2026, subject to TSX Venture Exchange
approval. The cost of the campaign is $57,000 plus HST.
Joutel Project
- Spring 2026 IP Survey
An Induced Polarization (IP) survey was completed from April to May of this year on the Joutel Property.
The survey, carried out by Simcoe Geoscience, consisted of 2D Alpha IP Resistivity & Chargeability
data acquisition. The Alpha IP - Induced Polarization and Resistivity data was acquired using a 'dipole-
pole-dipole (Reverse & Forward)' configuration with a 100m station spacing and extra current injections
at both ends of the profiles for additional depth penetration.
The survey was performed on 8 north-south lines totaling 19.5 kilometers, targeting
VTEM
TM
anomalies
known to be spatially associated with anomalous nickel, gold and silver in historical drillholes. Lines
were distributed over two grids: East grid and West grid. The East grid consists of three profiles of 1.5
km length trending north-south with 100m line spacing, while the West grid consists of five profiles of 3.0
km long running north-south with 125m line spacing.
In the East grid, six chargeability anomalies were identified, of which three were considered first priority.
In the West grid, twenty-four chargeability anomalies were identified, of which eleven were considered
first priority. Anomalies are grouped into four zones, AZ-1 to AZ-4. (see
Figure 1: Alpha IP Survey,
Interpretation Plan Map
).
The interpreted chargeability anomalies were prioritized according to anomaly amplitude, size, possible
line to line continuation and multi-parameter (Resistivity and Chargeability) association. First priority
anomalous zones are generally moderate in the area and situated at shallow to moderate depths. The
chargeability is commonly moderate to strong associated with moderate to high resistivity and is in
connection with contact or fault zones. First priority zones show resistivity gradient areas consistent with
faults and shear zones with potential for structurally controlled sulphide mineralization (Simcoe
Geoscience, 2026). An example of a 2D Section Interpretation is shown in
Figure 2
for Line 2E on the
East grid.
Alpha IP Data QA/QC and Post-Processing
The final processing of Time Domain IP is complicated and performed in several steps using different
processing platforms. Infield QA/QC and post processing is completed with proprietary timeseries
processing software. […] Once the data satisfy the QA/QC process, the entire line file is exported onto
UBC format to run the model inversions. In general, for the Joutel Project, QC, the quality of the raw data
is good, and the repeatability is excellent (Simcoe Geoscience, 2026).
About the Joutel Project
The Joutel claim group of Bold Ventures Inc. is located approximately 140 kilometres northwest of the
city of Val d'Or, Québec, and 6 km south-southeast of the historical mining town of Joutel, Québec, in
Poirier and Dalet Townships. The property consists of 53 staked claims and 6 claims acquired from
Emerald Geological Services (EGS), covering 3268 hectares (see
Figure 3: Joutel Property claims and
VTEM conductors
).
The property area was previously worked by Bold in 2011-2012, when Bold flew a versatile time domain
electromagnetic (VTEM
TM
) survey over the area. In the northern part of the current property, the 2012
survey identified anomalous area 3B which is spatially associated with historical values in diamond drill
core of 0.83% nickel over 3.7 metres including 1.27% nickel over 2.3 metres, as well as 0.51 g/t gold
over 3.05 metres and 17.4 g/t silver over 0.67 metres (see
Figure 4: Historical drillhole intersections on
recently acquired EGS claims
).
