VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 8, 2008) - Bold Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BOL) ("Bold") is pleased to announce that Melkior Resources Inc., has been advised by Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. that the Dash-7 aircraft was mobilized to start surveying the Bold-Melkior West Nickel property on July 3. The MEGATEM Geophysical Survey is designed to locate electromagnetic conductors (EM) and magnetic targets that could be associated with accumulations of sulphides derived from ultra-mafic intrusions.

The proof of deep search capability of MEGATEM on Melkior's East Rim property and the timely delivery schedule presented by Fugro has prompted Melkior to contract Fugro to undertake a MEGATEM survey of the Bold-Melkior WEST NICKEL property. This survey work will be operated by Melkior on behalf of Bold Ventures Inc. and Melkior Resources Inc. The property covers 909 claims or 14544 hectares. It is located approximately 20 kilometres north of the important Noront Eagle 1 and Double Eagle nickel discoveries and 20 kilometres southeast of the Metalex-WSR massive sulphide discovery.

A review of technical literature on the deposition of nickel sulphide deposits clearly indicates that significant accumulations will occur within, or on the margins of, large mafic to ultra-mafic intrusive bodies. The high density of these rocks will invariably result in an appreciable gravity anomaly, and therefore nickel sulphide accumulations will be proximal to these anomalies.

The WEST NICKEL property covers the majority of an important gravity anomaly located at the approximate centre of the "Ring of Fire". The ROF wraps around the Bold-Melkior gravity feature.

The airborne survey currently underway will consist of approximately 1440 line kilometres at a cost of $300,000. The data will be available to permit Bold-Melkior to undertake ground follow-up and drilling in the coming months. Upon completion of the airborne survey Bold and Melkior will enter a 50-50 joint venture.
