Golden Rapture Mining High-Grade Results with Follow-Up Sampling Program and Drilling to Commence
Edmonton, Alberta, April 08, 2024—Golden Rapture Mining Corporation [CSE- GLDR] (“Golden Rapture” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a follow-up surface sampling program is scheduled to start on April 29, 2024, which will also include drill testing of some of the high-grade gold quartz veins recently identified on surface.
Golden Rapture Mining is a new issuer that commenced trading on the CSE on March 12, 2024. Issued & Outstanding Shares Only 22,343,093
Golden Rapture’s flagship property is the Phillips Township Property located in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction near the New Gold Rainy River Gold Mine, NW Ontario. It is comprised of 236 contiguous claim cells totaling over 10,000 acres with underexplored past producing high-grade gold occurrences, phenomenal infrastructure, easy access, and low costs of exploration.
We are extremely pleased that we have just made some very important and rapid steps toward identifying many drill-ready targets from our successful randomized sampling program. We are looking forward to now systematically testing the continuity and depth of these high-grade gold quartz veins.

Treasure Chest of Forgotten Golden Opportunities in the Rainy River Mine Area
The property is truly a treasure chest of forgotten golden opportunities hosting an impressive eighteen (18) mine shafts with visible gold having been recorded historically & recently. Of great significance is the fact that the majority of the gold-bearing systems also have parallel systems.
We were pleasantly surprised to discover so many high-grade quartz veins on the surface with 86% of them carrying gold. Unlike many exploration companies, we are not just chasing the typical geophysical anomaly but also, many wide high-grade gold structures identified on the surface that can be drilled immediately as seen in the pictures below.
The Phillips Township Property has many gold systems with eight (8) of them having received the most attention so far which include: The Combined Mine, Trojan Mine, Boulder Mine, Mascotte Mine, Young’s Bay Occurrence, Terrell Occurrence, OGS, and the Kuluk Occurrences. The property has been extremely underexplored with no drill holes below 90 meters in the history of the property.
Of other significance is the fact that many of the high-grade gold occurrences also plot on the margins of magnetic highs on total magnetic field maps apart from the Young’s Bay occurrence which is located in an area of high magnetics and is clearly illustrated in the figure below.
It is evident from this figure that the Property maybe subdivided into three zones divided by major interpreted NW-SE faults where six (6) of the eight (8) occurrences are close to these structures.
There is a general regional trend which most of the gold-bearing occurrences adjacent and within the area are associated with, namely, gold-bearing corridors that are shear and/or fault related with synclinal and anticlinal systems which are tied into the north west-south east trending Cameron Pipestone Fault (CPF) and within fault splays on both sides of the Cameron-Pipestone Fault.
Most occurrences report wide steeply dipping quartz veins (<5 meters thick) occurring on the sides of magnetic highs while a flat-lying gold-bearing quartz vein (up to 12.0 meters thick) was the target for historical work and shallow drilling at the Combined Gold Occurrence where the best gold grades are associated with areas of strong alteration and 2017 drilling suggesting the presence of a stacked vein system.

Analytical Laboratory and QA/QC Procedures
All sampling completed by Golden Rapture Mining Corporation within its exploration programs is subject to a Company standard of internal quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC) programs which include the insertion of certified reference materials, blank materials and a level of duplicate analysis. Surface samples from the 2022 and 2023 programs were all sent to Activation Laboratories. Activation Laboratories systems conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meets assay requirements outlined for NI 43-101.
About Golden Rapture Mining
Golden Rapture Mining is a well-funded exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of high-potential assets located in favorable, established Tier 1 mining jurisdictions being the Rainy River and Geraldton areas of NW Ontario, Canada.
Our second property includes the past-producing Hutchison/Maylac Gold Mine located in the Geraldton Gold Camp, NW Ontario. It was one of the richest mines in the area and was mined underground on and off from 1937 to 1947. The highest historical drill intersection included results as high as 24.16 oz/t/gold. The property has only seen shallow drilling and was only mined to a depth of around 400ft and lies in the shadows of the new Greenstone/Equinox Gold Mine. We would entertain a JV with the right partner.
