(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2025) - Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the " Company " or " Bold ") is pleased to announce the discovery of a new style of mineralization on its Wilcorp Property (the "Property") in the Atikokan area in Ontario, consisting of significant Au-Ag-Cu mineralization from sulphide-quartz stringers in highly carbonatized rock. One grab sample in September of this year returned 4.3 g/t Au, 277 g/t Ag (8.9 oz/t), and 1.8% Cu, as well as 0.16% Zn. See Photo 1 below.

The 2025 prospecting aimed to follow up on a 2024 sample in this location which returned 333 ppb Au, 13.8 g/t Ag, 76 ppm Co, 1010 ppm Cr, 0.34% Cu, and 527 ppm Ni (Robertson 2025¹). One additional gold anomaly of 111 ppb Au was obtained in 2025 in outcrop approximately 90 meters east of the new showing. For sample locations see Table 1 .

The mineralization occurs in outcrop on the north side of an ENE-trending lineament in the southeastern part of the property. The lineament is subparallel to the Quetico Fault Zone (QFZ) to the south and may represent a subparallel fault zone. A 2012 Induced Polarization (I.P.) survey carried out by Bold identified a series of moderate to very strong chargeability anomalies within the lineament south of the new showing (see Figure 1 ), over a distance of approximately 1.5 km.

The QFZ is intruded by the Atikokan River Intrusions, a series of mafic to ultramafic intrusions which host Fe, Cu and Co mineralization (MacTavish 1999²). The closest of these intrusions to the Wilcorp Property is the Shepherd Intrusion, approximately 300 meters south of the Property boundary. It is unclear if the new copper mineralization may be related to these intrusions. A gabbroic rock was observed 15 meters west of the new showing in outcrop, but more geological mapping and petrographic work must be carried out to determine the nature of this rock type and any possible link to the Au-Ag-Cu mineralization as well as the elevated Co, Cr, Ni and Zn mineralization identified in this area.

To date the Wilcorp Project, which consists of 18 staked claims and 4 patented claims covering 264 hectares, has only been known to host orogenic gold mineralization. One 2024 grab sample of quartz veining returned 16 g/t Au in the vicinity of the historic Eagle Prospect in the northwest corner of the property (See Bold's October 31, 2024 news release ). For more details on the Wilcorp Project, refer to Bold's website.

Burchell Project Ongoing Activities

Washing and channel sampling is ongoing at Bold's Burchell Project, 100 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. A first batch of channel samples has now been submitted for analysis.

QAQC Protocols

Rock samples were collected, documented and photographed in the field, then placed in sealed bags and delivered to Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) in Thunder Bay, which is an ISO / IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Rock sample collection is subject to Bold's internal quality assurance / quality control (QAQC) protocols, which include the insertion of blank material and certified reference material into each batch of samples submitted. Rock samples referenced in this news release were analyzed using ActLabs methods 1A2-50, a 50g fire assay with atomic absorption finish, and 1F2, a total digestion with ICP-OES finish for trace elements.

The technical information in this news release was reviewed and approved by Coleman Robertson, B.Sc., P. Geo., the Company's V.P. of Exploration and a qualified person (QP) for the purposes of NI 43-101.
