Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 11, 2024) - Golden Rapture Mining (CSE: GLDR) is pleased to provide updates on its recent accomplishments and developments since it began trading on March 12, 2024 under the symbol "GLDR."
First of all, we are very pleased with our recent near-surface high-grade gold discoveries at our 10,000-acre Tier 1 Phillips Township Gold Property located in the Rainy River District, NW Ontario.
Second of all, we are also excited to be a well-funded company that has institutional support by having a $5,000,000 equity draw-down facility with Crescita Capital LLC based in Dubai therefore giving us access to capital when needed for a period of 3 years.
Third of all, we are very proud to be an active explorer having conducted exploration programs in the field from April 30 to October 1, 2024.
2024 Exploration Results
Our highly successful 2024 exploration programs confirmed the presence of shallow high-grade zones around the old mine shafts and also outside the extensions of the old Combined Mine workings yielding high-grade drill results as high as 285.00 g/t Au.
This summer's 23 drill holes combined with the past 33 historical shallow drill holes done in 1984, 1986 and 2017 strongly highlight the potential that the property may be amenable to open-pit mining.
There are also large piles of quartz material with recent grab sample results as high as 125.05 g/t Au that come from the seven shafts at the Combined Mine area that together with the recent and historical near-surface high-grade zones could provide mill feed to the New Gold Rainy River Gold Mine located approximately 40 kms to the South.
We also conducted a surface sampling program at our Young's Bay Occurrence with grab sample results as high at 163.33 g/t Au.

Original Equity Draw Down Agreement Term
On March 10, 2023, the Issuer entered into the Investment and Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with Crescita pursuant to which Crescita will (a) provide certain advisory services (the "Advisory Services") to the Issuer, and (b) make available to the Issuer a non-revolving equity drawdown facility in the aggregate amount of up to $5,000,000 (the "Funding Commitment"). The Funding Commitment is for an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 and the Issuer will have three years to utilize the $5,000,000 to expand and develop its assets. The Agreement is disclosed in our prospectus dated December 14, 2023 available on SEDAR+.
In addition, the Issuer may use the Funding Commitment as security, with the consent of Crescita, to secure additional financing avenues if it so chooses. Upon listing of the Issuer's Common Shares and under the terms of the Investment and Advisory Agreement, the Issuer can immediately start drawing down funds from the $5,000,000 Funding Commitment during the three-year term at the Issuer's discretion by providing a notice to Crescita ("Drawdown Notice").
In return for each Drawdown Notice funded by Crescita, the Issuer will allot and issue fully paid Common Shares to Crescita (each, a "Private Placement"). The Common Shares issued in connection with any Private Placement will be priced at 90% of the average closing bid price resulting from the following ten days of trading after the Drawdown Notice ("Pricing Period").
History
Exploration in the area is said to have started around 1885 where a large number of high-grade gold discoveries were made and where many properties were brought into production during what became known as the 'Lake of the Woods Gold Rush'. The gold rush was short-lived when most prospectors stampeded to the Klondike in 1897. Bonanza gold grades and visible gold can be a common occurrence on this exciting property.
The Phillips Township gold discovery began in 1894 to 1905 where a number of shafts and adits were dug. The property saw very limited exploration until three other new gold discoveries were made in 1970's, 1980's and in 1999 namely the OGS, Terrell and Kuluk gold showings respectively. Was again revived in 2017 when a ten (10) shallow hole drill program intersected gold in every hole but the explorer ran out of funds. Never followed-up.
It is the first time that all these underexplored high-grade gold systems are part of a single property. They include the high-grade Combined Mine, Mascotte Mine, Trojan Mine, Boulder Mine, Terrell Occurrence, OGS Occurrence, Kuluk Occurrence & the Young's Bay Occurrence.
