TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 1, 2017) - Bold Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BOL) (the "Company" or "Bold") and Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation ("LDMLFN") are pleased to announce the signing of a Strategic Alliance Agreement that launches the effort to identify business driven, resource related opportunities that are available to First Nations and First Nation partnerships.
The 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.
Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation has initiated a number of resource related projects in various sectors. The partners look forward to expanding the scope of the First Nation's economic and investment activity through the identification and management of a variety of revenue generating opportunities.
Chief White Cloud comments; "Our vision to rebuild a self-sustaining community can only successfully occur as long as the First Nation continues to move forward in economic development. One avenue is through forming partnerships that have the potential to provide for revenue generating opportunities. We very much look forward to a successful and long lasting partnership with Bold Ventures."
Bold Ventures President and CEO Richard Nemis comments that; "Bold is impressed with Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation's business philosophy and demonstrated entrepreneurial approach. While Bold's core business remains unchanged, we see this effort as an activity that is complimentary with our core values, enhances our goal of locating new and important exploration projects and should create revenue for the Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation and our Company."
