Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) is a Canadian mineral explorer with decades of discovery-focused experience in top-tier mining jurisdictions. Building on successes linked to Noront and major finds in Quebec and Ontario, Bold is advancing gold, base-metal and critical-minerals projects, including its road-accessible Burchell Gold-Copper Project and its strategic foothold in the re-emerging Ring of Fire—a key focus of Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy. Led by veteran discoverers David Graham, Bruce MacLachlan and Coleman Robertson, Bold is expanding its northwestern Ontario portfolio with high-grade results at Burchell’s 111 Zone and long-term optionality in the Ring of Fire. At PDAC 2026, Bold (booth 2610) will showcase new assays, discuss its role in Canada’s next wave of discoveries and host the “From Burchell to the Ring of Fire” giveaway for a chance to win a $500 Great Canadian Experience.
Brixton Metals Corporation
Brixton Metals is a discovery-driven explorer advancing its flagship, district-scale Thorn Copper-Gold-Silver Project in BC. Their exhibit showcases the power of accelerated, data-driven discovery. They feature core and data from their two significant 2025 Porphyry Discoveries: Catalyst and Tempest. The first-ever drilling at Catalyst intercepted an impressive 424m of 0.30% CuEq from surface. These new systems were rapidly defined using their innovative, in-house portable XRF methodology, which provides real-time geochemical vectoring for both soil sampling and active drilling. This dramatically reduces exploration timelines. Furthermore, they utilize micro XRF technology to scan drill core, capturing geochemical information invisible to the naked eye.
