Bold Ventures Reports Drill Results at Traxxin Gold Project - Receives Farwell Exploration Permit

Hole BV-21-01 hosts multiple shear zones with intervals ranging from <0.5 m up to 10 m consisting of intense chlorite-sericite alteration and quartz-carbonate breccia. Assay values from this hole ranged from <0.002 g/t Au to 9.87 g/t Au.

The Traxxin Shear Zone was intersected in holes BV-21-02 and BV-21-03, with intervals ranging from 3 m to 8.5 m, respectively. The zone is characterized by strongly to intensely sheared and boudined diorite and quartz veining, exhibiting moderate to strong chlorite-sericite alteration.

Assay results from the target shear zone vary from <0.002 g/t Au to 0.92 g/t Au.

Winter 2021 Drill Hole Highlights

Bold President and CEO David Graham commented that "Hole 4 is of particular interest as the 12 m long intersection grading 3.5 g/t Au includes sub intervals that returned significant values of 10.5 g/t Au over 0.73 m and 15 g/t Au over .9 m, representing the best drill hole result to date from the property. These higher-grade gold values, sampled at a greater depth along the shear zone than previously encountered, demonstrate the potential for significant gold mineralization over substantial widths. Our modeling for the Traxxin Gold Project has been well informed by these results."

The next phase of drilling at the Main Zone will follow the development of additional targets along the projected strike extension of the Main Zone to the south. The Conductive IP Trend CT02, is interpreted to trace the Traxxin Shear Zone for a distance of approximately 2000 m to the south (see Traxxin Gold Project - Geophysical and Drill Hole Compilation map). This two km long conductive trend remains largely underexplored. The Teardrop Zone, located approximately 1000 m south and along the same conductive trend as the Main Zone, is less well understood due to a lack of drilling. A broad zone of anomalous gold mineralization (42.3 m of 0.21g/t Au) was intersected in hole BED-17-021 and was never followed up. Hole BED-17-008 also intersected 2.65 g/t Au over 1 m in this same area (Sims 2019).

Detailed exploration work will be carried out along the conductive trend CT02 and adjacent areas. Based on results from this work, a second phase of drilling will continue to test the Main Zone model and its 2 km strike potential.

Farwell Exploration Permit

In other news, the Company is pleased to report that it has received the Exploration Permit to explore the Farwell Gold and Base Metals Project in the Wawa area. The permit allows for line cutting, geophysical surveys, stripping, sampling and diamond drilling (please see the Farwell Gold and Base Metals Project information at www.boldventuresinc.com.)

Traxxin Gold Project Highlights

• Road-accessible property close to major transportation corridor (Hwy 11) approximately 130 km west of Thunder Bay Ontario
• A well-defined gold-bearing structure along a northeast splay of a major fault zone (Quetico Fault)
• Main zone located in the Marmion Lake Batholith, host to Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef gold deposit of 208 Mt @ 0.67 g/t (measured and indicated) representing 4.5 Moz Au (Agnico Eagle website 2020)
• Recent trenching and diamond drilling (2018) have identified a gold-bearing zone of at least 300 m in strike associated with a well-defined sheared quartz vein surface exposure from 15 to 30 m wide
• Historical diamond drilling results include 4.76 g/t Au over 3.8 m (Hole BED-17-016), 1.07 g/t Au over 22.2 m (Hole BED-17-005) and 37.3 g/t Au over 1 m (BED-17-003) (Sims 2019). This area was targeted by Bold Ventures recent January 2021 diamond drilling program
• The gold bearing horizon is open along strike in both directions. The 2017 and 2018 diamond drilling generally tested above 100 m. Two holes (BED-17-021 and BED-18-022) in the central and northeastern parts of the zone penetrated to depths in excess of 150 m and intercepted the zone where it remains open at depth

Traxxin Extension Joint Venture

In April 2017 Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation (LDMLFN) and Bold entered into a joint venture to explore the northeastern extension of the Traxxin Gold discovery. Pursuant to the Traxxin Extension Joint Venture Agreement, LDMLFN has the right to earn a 50% interest in the Traxxin Gold Property from Bold by paying to Bold 50% of the cash option payments, 50% of the expenditure requirements and reimbursing Bold for 50% of the value of the shares issued pursuant to the Option. If the Option is earned and both parties 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.

QA/QC

The drill core samples were prepared and analysed by AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay. Each sample was dry-crushed (< 5 Kg) to 75% passing a 2 mm split to 250-g and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. The gold assaying method uses a standard Fire Assay with AAS finish technique on a 50-gram sub-sample taken from a 250-gram split of the submitted sample. Check assays were performed on samples with gold values greater than 10 g/t Au using Fire Assay and Gravimetric finish. Bold Ventures has implemented a rigorous quality control program which complies to industry best practices for sampling, analysis and chain of custody. In addition to the control samples inserted by the lab, certified gold reference samples, blanks and duplicates are inserted during the core logging and sampling process as part of the QA/QC program.
