Golden Rapture Mining Announces Bonanza-Grade Gold Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Golden Rapture Mining (CSE: GLDRF) has announced exceptional high-grade gold results from its surface sampling program at the Phillips Township Property in Ontario. The program revealed bonanza-grade gold values with the highest sample yielding 200.80 g/t Au (7.08 oz/t gold) in the Young's Bay area.

The sampling program targeted areas identified by a recent drone magnetic survey, with 14 samples exceeding 30 g/t Au. The strongest anomalies were found in the northeast corner (Young's Bay area), where intense deformation and folding are present. The company also acquired the historic Bully Boy Mine property, which historically produced ore with gold values between $12 to $2,000 per ton when gold was priced at $20/ounce in 1906.

Positive

• Multiple bonanza-grade gold samples discovered, with highest grade of 200.80 g/t Au
• 14 samples exceeded 30 g/t Au, indicating consistent high-grade mineralization
• Strategic acquisition of historic Bully Boy Mine with proven high-grade production history
• Strong correlation between magnetic survey anomalies and high-grade gold samples

Negative

• Results are from surface grab samples only, which may not be representative of continuous mineralization
• Historic Bully Boy Mine has been inactive for 119 years with limited historical records

Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 2, 2025) - Golden Rapture Mining Corporation (CSE: GLDR) is pleased to announce high-grade gold results from its recent surface sampling program at its 10,000-acre Phillips Township Property, Rainy River District, NW Ontario.

This sampling program was designed to test certain surface areas where strong anomalies were recently identified in our low-altitude, high-resolution drone magnetic survey. The survey results identified new high-priority targets, confirming that the survey area is dominated by strong linear anomalies throughout the project area, with the strongest occurring in the northeast corner (Young's Bay area), where intense deformation and folding are present.

Richard Rivet said:
"To our surprise, most of the samples recently taken in the northeast corner of our property, called the Young's Bay area, have also revealed our best high-grade gold results to date."

Highlights of the sampling program included:

"We are also waiting for sample results from our newly acquired highly prospective Bully Boy Mine patented mineral claims located directly adjacent to our Phillips Township property, NW, Ontario. Results to be announced when received."

History of the Bully Boy Mine

The historical records of the Bully Boy Mine are limited; however, archival Ontario Ministry of Mines files indicate that gold was first discovered in 1885 and that it was mined intermittently from 1898 to 1906.

In 1900, the mining workforce consisted of nine individuals, including six miners.

In 1904, the Arizona Camp Bay Gold Mining Company assumed ownership of the property. Equipment formerly used by the neighboring Boulder Mining Company-including a hoist, compressors, boilers, and other mining machinery-was transferred to the Bully Boy site, and two shafts were developed on the property, reaching depths of 56 and 165 feet.

In 1905, New accommodations were constructed to house approximately 30 workers. A ten-stamp mill, located two miles from the mine, processed up to 18 tons of ore per day.

By 1906, the main shaft was deepened by 60 feet, and lateral drifting was initiated at the 200-foot level, and a new compressor plant was also installed. By the end of the year, the shaft had reached 216 feet, with two 100-foot drifts extending north and south.

The ore extracted from the mine was estimated to contain gold values between $12 to $2,000 per ton, indicating very high gold grades, considering that gold was priced at $20/ounce in 1906. The last reported info about the property was that a new mill was added to supplement the existing ten-stamp mill, but no additional mining activity or production numbers can be found for the last 119 years.

FAQ

What were the highest gold grades reported in GLDRF's recent sampling program?

The highest grade sample was 200.80 g/t Au (7.08 oz/t gold), followed by 144.02 g/t Au and 134.19 g/t Au, all from the Young's Bay area.

Where is Golden Rapture Mining's Phillips Township Property located?

The property is located in the Rainy River District, Northwestern Ontario, with the recent high-grade samples coming from the Young's Bay area in the northeast corner of the property.

What is the historical significance of GLDRF's newly acquired Bully Boy Mine?

The Bully Boy Mine, discovered in 1885, historically produced ore with gold values between $12 to $2,000 per ton (when gold was $20/oz in 1906) and operated until 1906 with two shafts reaching depths of 56 and 165 feet.

How many samples exceeded 30 g/t Au in GLDRF's sampling program?

14 samples exceeded 30 g/t Au, with most high-grade samples coming from the Young's Bay area of the property.

What methodology was used to identify the sampling locations at GLDRF's property?

The sampling locations were identified using a low-altitude, high-resolution drone magnetic survey that revealed strong linear anomalies, with the strongest occurring in the northeast corner where intense deformation and folding are present.
