Bold Ventures Inc. (BOL:TSX.V) ("Bold" or the "Company") and Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation (LDMLFN) are pleased to announce the closing of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") whereby LDMLFN acquired 4,000,000 working capital units ("WC Units") of the Company for proceeds of $200,000.

Each WC Unit comprises one (1) common share of the Company priced at $0.05 and one (1) common share purchase warrant (each a "WC Warrant"), with each WC Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one (1) common share at a price of $0.05 until January 26, 2023. The securities issued are subject to a hold period expiring on May 27, 2018. The funds will be used for general working capital, administration and project acquisition.

On August 1, 2017, Bold and Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation announced the signing of a Strategic Alliance Agreement that launched an effort to identify business driven, resource related opportunities that are available to First Nations and First Nation partnerships.

The Bold/LDMLFN Alliance expects to generate a variety of resource related projects ranging from base and precious metals to industrial minerals and materials including infrastructure development. This effort will be a separate division to Bold's core business of exploration for base and precious metals within Canada and will focus initially on the LDMLFN traditional land base.

Bold CEO David Graham states that "this financing is strategic in nature and continues to strengthen the relationship between Bold, our shareholders and Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation. As a major shareholder of Bold, our strategic partner can now share directly in Bold's future success over the long term."
