[{"type":"text","content":"Bold Ventures Announces Results of Fall Sampling Program at BurchellToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2025) - Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the \"Company\" or \"Bold\") is pleased to announce the results of its Fall mechanical stripping and channel sampling program on its Burchell Copper-Gold Property (the \"Property\"), located within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt approximately 100 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Eight areas were stripped by excavator in the vicinity of the 111 Gold Zone, including the 111 Zone itself, and more than 400 channel samples and 80 grab samples were collected during the program. All gold results and most trace element results have now been received from the laboratory. Highlights from the program include:Identification of a 14-meter-wide maximum envelope of discontinuous gold mineralization at the 111 Zone (Stripped Area 1, see Figure 1 and Figure 2) with one channel sample returning 2.1 g/t Au over 1.0 meters and one grab sample returning 8.0 g/t Au in outcrop. An additional sample of subcrop earlier in the season also returned 32.4 g/t Au in the area where grab samples had previously returned 56.9 and 68 g/t Au. The northernmost channel sample and grab sample at Stripped Area 1 (~17 m across strike from the main gold zone) were anomalous in gold (0.32 g/t Au over 1.0m channel and 0.44 g/t Au grab sample), indicating a possible subparallel gold zone and the need to expand the stripping to the north. Widespread zinc and gold anomalies, with local copper and lead anomalies, at multiple stripped areas including the 111 Zone. Apparent zonation from south to north at the 111 Zone from dominantly zinc to copper to gold across a total discontinuous mineralized width of 29 meters in the central part of the zone. Stripped Area 4 approximately 500 meters west of the 111 Zone returned 0.13 g/t Au and 0.7% Zn over 4.3 meters including 0.30 g/t Au and 3.1% Zn over 0.8 meters. An increased understanding of geological controls on gold mineralization: gold anomalies tend to occur within shear zones proximal to contacts between quartz feldspar porphyry (QFP) sills and the host metavolcanic rocks, often within the contact zone between silicified mafic/intermediate rocks and quartz sericite schist (possible felsic volcanic rocks). Earlier in the summer outcrops of QFP were identified at several loca...
