Golden Rapture Mining Launches Exploration Program at Northern Queen Mine Project and Two of Its Other Properties
Golden Rapture Mining Launches Exploration Program at
Northern Queen Mine Project and Two of Its Other Properties
April 17, 2026 – Golden Rapture Mining Corporation (CSE: GLDR) is set to begin
exploration at its Northern Queen Mine Project near Dryden, Ontario, following last
month's successful completion of a high-resolution, low-altitude drone magnetic survey.
Field work is scheduled to commence next week, weather permitting, which will involve
a prospecting and surface sampling program.
This newly acquired 77 claim unit property hosts 1 historical mine shaft and is
comprised of 3500 acres covering roughly 10 kms of strike length of highly prospective
geology. The property lies along the southern boundary of the NexGold Goliath Gold
Deposit, and the eastern part of the property is situated on the Northwestern border of
the Dryden Gold claims. It produced gold & silver from 1897 to 1899. Ownership 100%.
The survey revealed a series of strong, well-defined magnetic anomalies across
multiple zones of the property. These results warranted immediate ground-based follow-
up, as the magnitude, intensity, and spatial clustering of the magnetic anomalies could
represent structurally controlled and potentially repeating mineralized systems.

The upcoming prospecting and surface sampling program will focus on systematically
evaluating these targets. The field team will conduct mapping, examine exposed rock
units, and collect representative samples to determine whether the magnetic responses
correlate with mineralization.
Richard Rivet said, “This work is a critical step in refining our exploration targets
and advancing our project towards drilling. A two-year Exploration Plan, which
includes drilling, has also been fully approved by the Ontario government.”
Other Properties
We are also pleased to report that prospecting and sampling programs will begin
immediately at both our Bully Boy Mine patented mineral claims and our recently
acquired Swell Bay patented mineral claims. These field programs will provide
important geological data to further evaluate the mineral potential of each project.
Richard Rivet said, “Unlike most exploration companies, we have a strategic
advantage by having a portable diamond drill at our disposal, which is already
positioned in the region. Once results from our surface sampling programs are in,
we can mobilize the drill within days at any of the properties that we select.
Please stay tuned for more updates.”
Swell Bay Property: The property is comprised of seven patented mineral claims near
Fort Frances, Rainy River District, Ontario. The earliest recorded work on this property
dates back to the 1890’s, when initial developments included the sinking of a shaft
along with several pits and trenches. Gold mineralization is hosted not only within quartz
veins but also throughout the shear zones, suggesting the potential for a broader and
more structurally controlled gold-bearing system. More recent exploration has further
demonstrated the property’s potential, with sampling completed by King’s Bay Gold in
2001 returning exceptionally strong assay results, including grades of up to 718.06 g/t
Au and 535.93 g/t Au. Ownership 100%.

Bully Boy Mine Property: Includes four patented mineral claims hosting 2 historical
mine shafts in the Rainy River District, Ontario. The historical records of the Bully Boy
Mine are limited; however, archival Ontario Ministry of Mines files indicate that high-
grade gold was first discovered in 1885 and that it was mined intermittently from 1898 to
1906, employing up to 30 men at one time. Ownership 50%.
