Toronto, Ontario, August 24, 2020 – Bold Ventures Inc. (BOL: TSX.V) (the
“Company” or “Bold”) is pleased to announce that it has received all
regulatory approvals required to option the Traxxin Gold Property. The
Traxxin Gold Property is located to the south and contiguous with the

des Mille Lacs First Nation (“LDMLFN”). Bold is the Operator of the
Bold/LDMLFN Joint Venture.
Bold has the option to earn a 100% interest in the Traxxin Gold Property
(the “Option”) over a three-year period by paying the aggregate sum of
$150,000 cash, issuing an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares of Bold
and completing a total of $250,000 of exploration work on the claims
over a three year period. The first payment of $20,000 cash and 200,000
common shares has been paid to the vendor. The vendor will retain a 2%
Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) of which Bold has the right to purchase a 1%
NSR for $1 million leaving a 1% NSR in favour of the vendor.

maintain their interest in the Traxxin Gold Property, Bold and LDMLFN
will form a joint venture for the further exploration and development of
the Traxxin Gold Property.
The Company is also pleased to report that preparations have begun for
the 2020 field exploration program. The initial work will include logging
and sampling of drill core from the 2017 and 2018 diamond drilling
programs, interpretation of the existing geophysical surveys comprised
of ground based Induced Polarization, airborne electromagnetic and
magnetic surveys. Building on the database of rock sampling, geophysical
surveys, geochemistry and geology, a diamond drill program will be
generated to further outline the existing gold bearing zone and confirm
additional gold targets that may exist outside of the gold zone.
The Traxxin Gold Project
The Traxxin claim group is located 130 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The claims are road accessible via Trans Canada Highway 11. Local
infrastructure includes rail, power and an experienced mineral
exploration workforce and mining supply, all located within hours of the
property. Combined with the Traxxin Extension claims held by Bold and
LDMLFN, the claim group is comprised of 151 claim cells and boundary
cells that have an area of approximately 2,224 hectares or 5,496 acres.
Traxxin Gold Project Highlights
The claims host a well-defined gold-bearing structure along a northeast
splay of the Quetico Fault.
Recent trenching and diamond drilling (2018) have identified a gold-
bearing zone of at least 300 m in strike length associated with a well-
defined sheared quartz vein surface exposure from 15 to 30 m wide.

Diamond drilling results include 4.76 g/t Au over 3.8 m (Hole BED-17-
016), 1.06 g/t Au over 22.2 M (Hole BED-17-005) and 37.3 g/t Au over
1.0m (Hole BED-17- 003) (Sims 2019).
The gold bearing horizon is open along strike in both directions. The
2017 and 2018 diamond drilling was near surface and tested above
100m. One hole (BED-17-022) in the central part of the zone did
penetrate to almost 150m and intercepted the zone where it remains
open at depth.
The main zone discovered in 2017 is located in the Marmion Lake
Batholith, host to the Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef deposit of 5.31 Moz
Au, which includes a Measured Resource of 75.3 Mt @ 0.75 g/t Au for
4.25 Moz and an Inferred Resource of 54.1 Mt @ 0.61 g/t Au for 1.06 Moz
(Puumala 2020). The mineralization and resources hosted on the above
property is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization, if any, hosted
on the Company’s property
