NEWS RELEASE - For Immediate Release

Bold Ventures Applauds Progress at Ring of Fire

Provides Project Update

Toronto, Ontario, December 12, 2022 – Bold Ventures Inc. (BOL: TSX.V) (the

“Company” or “Bold”) is pleased to provide the following project update. Of special

note is the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Webeque

First Nation and Ring of Fire Metals (formerly Noront Resources and Wyloo Metals).

A link to the press release is posted on the Bold website here. The MOU outlines a

framework for collaboration on proposed development in the Ring of Fire. The MOU

also details how the two parties will work together to progress ongoing exploration

activity in the region as well as negotiations on a partnership agreement for the

proposed Eagle's Nest mine.

Bold owns a 10% carried interest in the Black Horse Chromite NI 43-101 Inferred

Resource of 85.9Mt grading 34.5% Cr2O3 at a cut-off % of 20% Cr2O3. Bold also owns

a 40% working interest in all other metals found within the Koper Lake claims and

has a 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

Ring of Fire Metals. The Koper Lake claims are located approximately 300 m from the

Eagle’s Nest Deposit. The Company is encouraged by these ongoing developments in

this emerging mining camp.

The Traxxin Gold Project (Au)

During the Company’s 2021 diamond drilling program , the main gold bearing

structure was intersected in all four holes drilled beneath the Main Zone. Hole BV-21-

04 intersected 3.57 g/t Au over a core length of 12.29 m (See Bold news release dated

April 12, 2021). The focus of the next field program will involve a ground geophysical

survey to track the Main Zone to the north. Based on th ese results, a drill program to

expand the main zone to the north and at depth below hole BV-21-04, will be

generated. An inclined long section depicting the Main Zone and the location of hole

BV-21-04 may be found here.

Burchell Gold-Copper Project (Au, Cu)

The Burchell prospecting program was recently completed and the next phase of

exploration work is being planned. Bold is pleased to have acquired the 2006 VTEM

survey data base commissioned by Mengold Resources Inc., that covers a portion of

the west side of the claim group. Acquiring this data will assist in determining if any

additional detailed coverage is needed within the surveyed area while considering

expansion of the VTEM grid to the eastern portion of the property.

The 2006 VTEM survey yielded a number of drill targets. These targets are being re-

evaluated and will be considered in light of the new airborne survey work once it has

been completed. The Company has received the initial exploration permit relating to

the Burchell claims. The permit contemplates areas for line cutting, stripping,

geophysical surveys and diamond drilling. The Burchell Project page on the Bold

website may be accessed here.

Farwell Project (Cu and Au)

The Farwell Copper and Gold project has been divided into three key areas. The first

area targeted for diamond drilling is within the Farwell Sulphide zone extending

northeast to the Tundra Gold area.

Historical exploration work at the Farwell Sulphide Zone (FSZ) indicates prominent

copper, zinc, lead and silver mineralization. The Farwell Sulphide Zone, located

within the south-central portion of the property, will be subject to a first phase

diamond drilling program. North of the FSZ is the Tundra Gold Horizon (TGH).

Historical work indicates notable gold, copper, zinc and silver values. A number of

diamond drilling targets have been recommended for this part of the property. A

copy of that report is posted on the Bold Website here.

The technical information found within this news r elease and the subject VTEM

interpretive report has been reviewed and approved by Gerald D. White, B.Sc., P.Geo., a

qualified person (QP) for the purposes of NI 43-101.
