Bold Ventures Acquires Lithium Claims
Toronto, February 12, 2018 - Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) ("Bold" or the "Company") announces the acquisition of two separate claim groups located within the Georgia Lake Area Pegmatite field. The Jean Claim Group consists of 8 claims comprising 94 units covering an area of approximately 1,504 hectares (3,716 acres) and the Barbara Claim Group consists of 2 claims comprising 32 units covering an area of approximately 512 hectares (1,265 acres). The Company acquired the claim groups for staking costs and the retention by the Vendor of a 1% Gross Metal Royalty, half of which may be purchased for $500,000 and the Company retains a right of first refusal on the remainder of the Royalty. The Bold property lies within the northern portion of the Quetico Subprovince (in the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield) near the southwest contact of the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt. The Ontario Department of Mines mapped and documented the discovery of numerous lithium-bearing pegmatites in the Georgia Lake area during the period from 1956 to 1959. The work identified a number of pegmatite dikes and sills within the two claim groups. A systematic review of the geology and the historical work performed in the area indicates the potential exists to locate additional lithium bearing pegmatite dikes on Bold's claim groups. A prospecting, mapping and sampling program has been recommended.
Rock Tech Lithium Inc. has been active in this region since 2010 and has completed over 12,100 m of diamond drilling. This work has led to the identification of a NI 43-101 resource consisting of 2.47 Mt grading 1.11% Li2O (Indicated) and an Inferred resource of 2.50 Mt grading 0.98% Li2O on the Nama Creek Zone. This resource is located approximately 7 km northwest of Bold Venture's Jean claim group.
