Bold Ventures Up 28% On Discovery of Rare Earth Element System at Its Burchell Project

By

Bold Ventures (BOL.V) shares were last seen up 28% after the company on Wednesday said it discovered a rare earth element (REE) system in the northwest corner of its Burchell project in northwestern Ontario.

The company said best results from exploration drilling included Hole BL-26-05A, which returned a mineralized interval averaging 1022 parts per million (ppm) (0.1%) Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) over 55.2 meters, within syenite intruded by carbonate veining

The results indicate the presence of a chemically evolved system capable of concentrating rare-earth elements and provide compelling targets for follow-up exploration to identify higher-grade mineralized zones within the broader Hermia Pluton intrusive complex, it said. This pluton occupies a 6 km stretch in the northern part of the property, indicating expansive, previously unrecognized REE exploration potential on the property, it added.

"The discovery of rare earth element mineralization was unexpected but very welcome, and bolsters the critical metal potential of the Burchell Property. The wide anomalous intercept in conjunction with geochemical pathfinders suggests a system rather than an isolated anomaly. This model has never been explored on the property, and there is lots of room to do so along the 6-km portion of the Hermia Pluton on our ground," chief operating officer Bruce MacLachlan said.

Shares of the company were last seen up $0.02 to $0.09 on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Canadian Critical Minerals Receives Mining-Lease Term Renewal for the Bull River Mine

Canadian Critical Minerals (CCMI.V) on Wednesday said it received 30-year term renewals from the Chief Gold Commissioner of the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals for British Columbia for two mining leases at the Bull River Mine near Cranbrook, B.C.The company said it applied to renew Mining Leases 212492 and 212493 at the Bull River Mine, located within the consultation area of the Ktunaxa Nation Council (KNC) and Shuswap Band (SB). Further to consultation with First Nations, the province determined that the issue of term renewals will not significantly impact aboriginal rights and interests, it said.Canadian Critical Minerals intends to advance the Bull River Mine project in a phased approach, initially processing about 155,000 tonnes of mineralized copper, gold and silver material from surface stockpiles at the project followed by a resumption of underground mining. The current mine plan for underground mining expects an initial 10-year mine based on the current mineral resource, it said.The renewals ensure the company has sufficient runway to continue developing the Bull River Mine beyond the current mine plan, Canadian Critical Minerals said.Shares of the company were last seen up $0.005 to $0.04 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
