Golden Rapture Mining says it has found high-grade gold from a mine that operated in the 1900s.

The findings from the former Bully Boy Mine come on the heels of similar discoveries earlier this month made on other nearby sites.

Golden Rapture is exploring an area near Nestor Falls that has at least 18 operating mines.

The company says the findings are revealing some of the highest-grade gold results to date.

The Bully Boy Mine operated intermittently from 1898 until 1906.
