Bold Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BOL) ("Bold") is pleased to announce that, upon final approval of the transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), Melkior Resources Inc. ("Melkior") will own an interest equivalent to 50% of the WEST NICKEL Project located in the McFaulds Lake area 'Ring of Fire' in Ontario. Bold owns the other 50% interest in the WEST NICKEL Project, subject to completion of a $125,000 airborne survey.

Bold previously announced in a news release dated May 6, 2008 that the Company had entered into an agreement (the "Bold Agreement") with a private technical resource group MGN II, the syndicate who organized and conducted the claim staking (the "MGN II Group"), to acquire a 50% interest in the WEST NICKEL property located in the McFaulds Lake area of Ontario known as the 'Ring of Fire'. The West Nickel property consists of approximately 909 claim units totaling 14,544 hectares (36,360 acres) and is located 20 kilometres due north of the Noront Resources Double Eagle Nickel-Copper discovery.

Melkior has recently entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to acquire 100% of the MGN II Group interest (50%) in the Bold-MGN II Agreement.

The claim group composing the WEST NICKEL Project covers the majority of a regional gravity anomaly located approximately in the center of the Ring of Fire. This type of anomaly could be caused by a mafic/ultramafic intrusive which could be the source of nickel mineralization in the surrounding Ring of Fire.

Terms of the Agreement - previously announced May 6, 2008

Under the terms of Bold's original WEST NICKEL agreement;

- Bold was required to pay $220,000 (GST included) for staking the 909 claims that encompass the WEST NICKEL Project. Bold has previously paid that amount.

- Bold is also required to spend $125,000 towards the completion of an airborne geophysical survey

Gary F. Zak, President and CEO, stated; "We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Melkior, a respected and dedicated exploration company. I have worked with Melkior's president Jens Hansen over the years and appreciate the technical and exploration skill sets he brings to the venture."

The principal operator of the project will be determined in the near future (subject to the pending Melkior acquisition of the 50% interest of the WEST NICKEL Project). The operator would receive a 10% operating fee. A management committee comprised of four people, two from each company, will oversee the project.

Airborne Geophysics

An airborne program is being organized to fly the WEST NICKEL claim block in the near future.
