Bold Ventures Stakes New Claims Near Joutel, Québec; Advances Atikokan Projects
Bold Ventures Inc. has announced the acquisition of 26 claims, with 4 pending, near Joutel, Québec, approximately 140 km northwest of Val d’Or. These claims cover geophysical anomalies identified during a 2012 airborne VTEM survey conducted over the area. Historical drilling on these anomalies revealed nickel, silver, copper, zinc, and gold mineralization, positioning the newly acquired claims as high-potential exploration targets.
Fieldwork in Atikokan, Ontario
Bold has also completed a second phase of fieldwork on its Wilcorp, Burchell, and Traxxin properties in the Atikokan region of Ontario. This program, conducted in November, involved prospecting, soil sampling, and lake sediment sampling to refine 2025 trenching and drilling targets.
Recent highlights include:
• Wilcorp Property: Follow-up on assays up to 16.3 g/t Au from September fieldwork, focusing on the historical Eagle Prospect.
• Traxxin Property: Investigations at the Traxxin Main Zone.
• Burchell Lake Property: Exploration along northeast-trending gold-bearing structural corridors near Goldshore Resources’ Moss Gold Project, which borders the property.
Strategic Positioning
Adjacent to the Burchell Lake Property, Goldshore Resources recently raised $13.9 million to explore mineralized trends that extend onto Bold’s property. This positioning underscores the potential for significant discoveries within the Atikokan area.
Industry Engagement
Bold Ventures’ President Bruce MacLachlan and VP Exploration Coleman Robertson will attend the Québec Mines + Énergie conference in Québec City (Nov. 18–21) and the 2024 Yellowknife Geoscience Forum (Nov. 25–28) to engage with industry leaders and promote the Company’s diverse exploration portfolio.
Path Forward
Bold continues to focus on a suite of exploration projects targeting critical, battery, and precious metals, aligning with increasing demand driven by provincial and federal electrification initiatives. Key commodities include copper, nickel, gold, silver, platinum, and chromium, with projects located in Ontario’s Ring of Fire and active gold and battery metal camps near Thunder Bay and Wawa.
