Bold Ventures drilling Burchell base/precious metals project, Ontario
Bold Ventures Inc. [TSXV: BOL] reported that it has commenced a diamond drilling program on its Burchell Base and Precious Metals Project, located approximately 100 km west of Thunder Bay, northern Ontario.
The program is expected to exceed 1,000 metres of drilling, which will firstly test the 111 Zone and other nearby targets which were the focus of a mechanical stripping program last fall. A 14-metre-wide discontinuous anomalous gold zone was identified at the 111 Zone adjacent to a 15-metre-wide discontinuous anomalous zinc-copper zone. One grab sample at the 111 Zone previously returned 68 g/t Au.
Drilling is also planned to test the northwest corner of the Property where the Moss Trend is interpreted to pass through and where 2024-2025 soil sampling yielded significant Au, Mo and Cu anomalies as well as the Hermia Cu-Au Prospect in the western part of the Property where historical drilling intersected broad anomalous copper zones.
Drilling is being carried out by Rugged Aviation Inc. based in Murillo, Ontario.
Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold, stated: “We are beyond excited to get started on Bold’s maiden drill program on the Burchell Property, which will test major under-explored gold and base metal trends on which many targets, to the best of our knowledge, have never been drilled.”
Bold Ventures management believes its suite of Battery, Critical and Precious Metals exploration projects are an ideal combination of exploration potential meeting future demand. Our target commodities are comprised of: copper, nickel, lead, zinc, gold, silver, platinum, palladium and chromium.
The company explores for Precious, Battery and Critical Metals in Canada. Bold is exploring properties located in active gold and battery metals camps in the Thunder Bay and Wawa regions of Ontario. Bold also holds significant assets located within and around the emerging multi-metals district dubbed the Ring of Fire region, located in the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario.
