Edmonton, Alberta — September 8, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Golden Rapture Mining Corporation (CSE: GLDR) has reported significant high-grade gold results from its 100%-owned Swell Bay patented claims in the Fort Frances area of Ontario, alongside progress at its Phillips Township Property and the 50%-owned Bully Boy Patented Claims. The company is actively seeking financing to advance drilling on these promising projects.
The summer surface sampling program at Swell Bay successfully identified three distinct high-grade gold zones. Notable assay results include 63.11 g/t Au from a quartz vein and 30.79 g/t Au from a visibly mineralized zone. Another quartz vein, traceable for approximately 100 feet, yielded 3.70 g/t Au. Historical data indicates the Swell Bay Property contains numerous historical trenches, gold-bearing quartz veins, and two shafts, with past exploration in 2001 reporting grades up to 718.06 g/t Au and 535.93 g/t Au. Work on the property dates back to the 1890s, with initial developments including a shaft, pits, and trenches, where visible gold was historically reported and confirmed by later geologists. Mineralization at Swell Bay occurs within quartz veins and shear zones.
Richard Rivet, President and CEO of Golden Rapture Mining, stated that the surface results confirm high-grade gold mineralization across multiple zones, providing compelling targets for upcoming drilling. A portable hydraulic diamond drill is available, requiring only financing for mobilization.
At the 50%-owned Bully Boy Mine patented claims, adjacent to the Phillips Township property, a June 2026 surface sampling program designed to test quartz veins near the main shaft returned measurable gold values in all grab samples, with the highest assay at 78.79 g/t Au. A high-resolution UAV airborne magnetic survey flown in April 2026 identified strong magnetic anomalies near the historic shaft area, correlating with observed gold-bearing quartz veins and offering targets for further exploration.
The Phillips Township Property has also shown considerable potential. A May 2025 drone magnetic survey revealed high-priority targets, particularly in the northeast corner, an area known as Young’s Bay, which has not yet been drilled. Subsequent sampling in this area yielded the company’s best high-grade gold results to date. Susceptibility inversion results from the survey indicated larger magnetic bodies at a depth of 600 meters, which have not been drilled and represent strategic targets for future exploration. These deeper anomalies may represent feeder zones responsible for supplying mineralizing fluids to the 18 identified mine shafts and high-grade quartz veins across the property. Deeper drilling will require a larger drill rig.
Previous near-surface high-grade drilling results at Phillips Township, announced in November 2024, included intercepts of 114.96 g/t Au across 2.55 meters and 111.16 g/t Au across 1.50 meters, believed to be vertical feeder zones. Initial surface sampling results from April 2024 highlighted high-grade gold, with one sample assaying 204.005 g/t Au in the Young’s Bay area. These exploration programs represent a significant progression for Golden Rapture, moving from historical data and surface sampling towards geophysical targeting and drill-target generation.
The company also announced the resignation of Michael Birch from its Board of Directors to pursue Indigenous businesses. Rivet expressed gratitude for Birch’s contributions and wished him success.
Rivet commented on the company’s progress since becoming publicly listed in March 2024, highlighting the advancements made across its Phillips Township, Bully Boy Mine, and Swell Bay properties. He emphasized the significant exploration potential and the company’s aim to advance these projects through further exploration, pending financing or strategic joint-venture partners. Golden Rapture is considering a Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (LIFE) offering.
Technical and scientific information in the press release was reviewed and approved by John Archibald, P.Geo., a consulting geologist independent of the company. All sampling is subject to internal quality control and assurance programs, with samples sent to AGAT Laboratories, which meets ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and NI 43-101 assay requirements.
Golden Rapture Mining Corporation is a Canadian exploration-stage company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-potential mineral properties in Ontario, including the Phillips Township, Swell Bay, Bully Boy, South of Goliath, and Northern Queen properties. The company’s strategy involves applying modern exploration techniques to historically known gold systems in established mining jurisdictions.
