  • 9m at 1.3 g/t gold from 17m (KKRC001).

  • Mineralisation in the western and central zones at the Banouassi Prospect is considered to have sufficient continuity to plan a resource definition drilling program

  • Assays are pending for two RC holes drilled in the Kom Line to test very high grade gold mineralisation (up to 818 g/t or 26 oz/t gold) discovered in recent rock chip sampling.

Golden Rim Resources Ltd ( Golden Rim ; ASX: GMR) today announced that it has received the majority of the assay results from its reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling program at the Korongou Project in Burkina Faso. The program included 36 holes for a total of 4,492m and was designed to follow up intercepts from last year’s drilling program and to test areas of artisanal mining where significant rock chips have been returned at the Banouassi, Namagdo and Big Veins prospects (Figure 1).

Drill hole location details and significant gold intercepts are listed in Table 1.

Banouassi Prospect

Twenty four holes (BARC026 – BARC49) were drilled at the Banouassi Prospect, located in the NE area of Korongou, where more than 20 gold mineralised, parallel, NE-trending shear structures have been identified in trenches, pits and previous drilling within a 1.2km wide corridor and over a strike length of 3.3km (Figure 1).

Most of the holes returned significant gold intersections and confirmed either down dip or strike extensions to shear-hosted mineralisation intercepted in previous drilling. The majority of the gold

mineralised shear structures intersected in the drilling remain open at depth and along strike. The significant new intercepts are displayed in Figure 2.

The best new gold intersections were obtained in the Western Zone which has been the focus of past artisanal mining and small scale mining in a series of pits conducted by the previous explorer, Epsilon Gold Mines ( Epsilon ), since 1996. Epsilon’s two largest open pits (the MCA and MCB pits) lie at the SW end of the zone and provided the majority of the 20,000 oz of gold that was produced by Epsilon.

The new intercepts in the Western Zone are spread along its 2.2km strike length and include: 6m at 4.0 g/t gold from 41m, including 1m at 17.1 g/t gold (BARC028) from beneath the MCB pit in the SW of the zone; 2m at 17.2 g/t gold from 44m (BARC029) in the central portion of the zone; and 4m at 9.0 g/t gold from 65m, including 2m at 16.0 g/t gold (BARC035) in the NE of the zone.

The Western Zone remains open at depth and along strike to the SW and NE. Considerable portions of the Western Zone remain untested by drilling including areas where recent rock chip sampling returned results up to 122.3 g/t gold.

Significant intercepts have also been obtained in the Central Zone.

In the NE portion of the Central Zone, intercepts of 1m at 1.2 g/t gold from 83m; 4m at 1.1 g/t gold from 101m; 13m at 2.0 g/t gold from 120m, including 1m at 14.9 g/t gold; and 4m at 0.9 g/t gold from 139m (BARC044) were obtained down-dip from a previous hole (BARC007). Intercepts from the previous hole (BAR007) included 2m at 1.4 g/t gold from 6m; 5m at 4.7 g/t gold from 16m, including 21.3 g/t gold; 9m at 1.4 g/t gold from 50m; and 12m at 0.5 g/t gold from 72m.

The mineralised structures intersected in holes BARC044 and BARC007 have been mapped over a strike length 900m and remain open to the NE and SW. Assays up to 31 g/t gold have been obtained in rock chip samples.

A new gold mineralised structure was discovered in the SW portion of the Central Zone with an intercept of 4m at 5.8 g/t gold from 8m, including 1m at 16.0 g/t gold ; and 2m at 2.6 g/t gold from 32m (BARC038). The structure can be traced for at least 800m and has returned previous rock chip samples assaying up to 15.9 g/t gold.

Assays are pending for two RC holes (BARC048 & BARC049) drilled in the Kom Line to test very high grade gold mineralisation (up to 818 g/t or 26 oz/t gold) discovered in recent rock chip sampling.

Namagdo Prospect

The Namagdo Prospect lies in the central portion of Korongou and covers at least six parallel gold mineralised shear structures that have been mapped over a strike length of 5km. The widths of these mineralised structures range from 1m to 10m. Rock chip sample results up to 51.5 g/t were previously obtained from these structures (Figure 1).

Nine holes (KKRC003, NKRC005 – NKRC012) were drilled at the Namagdo Prospect.

A new zone of high grade mineralisation has been discovered in the SW portion of the Namagdo Prospect with an intercept of 4m at 9.2 g/t gold from 40m, including 1m at 31.5 g/t gold (NKRC005). The structure hosting this mineralisation seems to have a considerable strike extent and may link up with the same structure hosting the Big Veins mineralisation, 2km to the SW (Figure 3). Follow up drilling is planned.

Follow up drilling down-dip and along strike from previous hole (NKRC004), with 5m at 1.8 g/t gold from 66m; and 11m at 3.6 g/t gold from 77m returned narrow gold intercepts such as 1m at 4.0 g/t gold from 78m (NKRC009) located 40m along strike to SW.

Big Veins

Three holes (KKRC001, KKRC002, NKRC004) were drilled at the Big Veins Prospect in the SW of Korongou. They are the first holes to be drilled in the area (Figure 3).

Hole KKRC001 was drilled beneath the main artisanal working and intersected a broad zone of oxide gold mineralisation with 9m at 1.3 g/t gold from 17m.

Hole KKRC002 was located 170m along strike to the SW and returned 3m at 1.4 g/t gold from 26m.

The Big Veins mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike and follow up drilling is planned.

Golden Rim’s Managing Director, Craig Mackay, said “The RC drilling at Korongou has confirmed multiple parallel zones of significant mineralisation over extensive strike lengths.”

“We now believe the mineralisation identified in the Western and Central zones at the Banouassi Prospect displays sufficient continuity for Golden Rim to carry out a resource definition drilling program following the rainy season.”

“Several new zones of high grade gold mineralisation have also been discovered, such as 4m at 9.2 g/t gold in hole NKRC005. This mineralisation provides further potential upside and we look forward to a follow up drilling program” said Mr Mackay.

Appendix 1: JORC Code (2012 Edition), Assessment and Reporting Criteria

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation
Sampling
Techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects
of
the
determination
of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this
would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

All of the sampling described in this
report refers to reverse circulation (RC)
drill samples. The RC drilling was used to
obtain 1m samples, from which 2kg was
pulverised to produce a 50g charge for
fire assay.

The RC samples were reduced to a 2kg
sample by riffle splitting on site.

Measures were taken to avoid wet RC
drilling.

Samples were all collected by qualified
geologists or under geological
supervision.

The samples are judged to be
representative of the rock being drilled,
because representative sub sampling of
the RC samples was achieved.

Location of each hole was recorded by
hand held GPS with positional accuracy
of approximately +/- 5 metres. This was
then followed up by surveying with a
differential GPS, which is accurate to +/-
0.1m in X, Y and Z. Location data was
collected in WGS 84, UTM zone 30N or
31N.

All rock chip samples were submitted to
BIGS Laboratory in Ouagadougou for
preparation and analysis by 50g Fire
Assay (LDL 0.005ppmgold).
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).

RC drilling was carried out sing a 4.5 inch
face sampling hammer.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

RC recoveries are logged and recorded
in the database. Overall recoveries are
>75% for the RC. There are no significant
sample recovery problems. A technician
is always present at the rig to monitor and
record recovery.

RC samples were visually checked for
recovery, moisture and contamination.

The style of mineralisation, with common
higher-grade, requires good recoveries to
evaluate the mineralisation adequately.
The consistency of the mineralised
intervals and density of drilling is
considered to prevent any sample bias

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation
issues due to material loss orgain.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

Detailed geological logging has been
carried out on all drill samples, recording
lithology, weathering, structure, veining,
mineralisation, grainsize and colour.

Logging of sulphide mineralisation and
veining is quantitative.

The geological logging was done using a
standardised logging system. This
information and the e sample details were
entered into Golden Rim’s drilling
database.

No judgement has yet been made on
whether the geological logging has been
sufficient to support Mineral Resource
estimation.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.

RC samples were collected on the rig
using a three-tier riffle splitter. All
samples were dry.

Samples were transported by road to
BIGS Laboratory in Ouagadougou.

The sample preparation for all samples
follows industry best practice.

At the laboratory all samples were
weighed, dried and crushed to -2mm in a
jaw crusher. A split of the crushed sample
was subsequently pulverised in a ping
mill to achieve a nominal particle size of
85% passing 75um.

Field QC procedures involve the use of
certified reference material as assay
standards, blanks and duplicates for the
RC samples. The insertion rate of these
averaged 3:30. Field duplicates were
taken on 1m RC splits using a riffle
splitter.

The sample sizes are considered to be
appropriate to correctly represent the
style of mineralisation, the thickness and
consistencyof the intersections.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
andwhetheracceptablelevels of

The laboratory used an aqua regia digest
followed by fire assay with an AAS finish
for gold analysis.

No geophysical tools were used to
determine any element concentrations.

Sample preparation checks for fineness
were carried out by the laboratory as part
of their internal procedures to ensure the
grind size of 90% passing 75 microns.

Internal laboratory QAQC checks are
reported by the laboratory.

Review of the internal laboratory QAQC
suggests the laboratory is performing
within acceptable limits.

samples.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Sample data is compiled and digitally
captured by Golden Rim geologists.

The compiled digital data is verified and
validated by the Company’s database
geologist.

Reported results are compiled by the
Company’s Senior Geologist and the
Managing Director.

There were no adjustments to the assay
data.
Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used
to locate drill holes (collar and down-
hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

Down-hole surveys were completed at
the end of every hole (where possible)
using a Reflex down-hole survey tool.
Measurements were taken at
approximately every 50 meters.

At the completion of the program all holes
are surveyed with a DGPS, which has
locational accuracy of +/- 0.1m, X, Y and
Z.

Location data was collected in UTM grid
WGS84, zone 30 north and zone 31north.
Data spacing
and distribution

Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications
applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

The drill intercepts are irregularly spaced.

No judgement has been made on
whether the drill density is sufficient to
calculate a Mineral Resource.

There was no sample composting.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

All drill holes reported here were drilled
approximately at right angles to the strike
of the target mineralisation.

No orientation based sampling bias has
been identified in the data at this point.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

Samples are stored on site prior to road
transport by Company personnel to the
laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina
Faso.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

There has been no external audit or
review of the Company’s techniques or
data.

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Explanation
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location
and ownership including agreements or
material issues with third parties such
as joint ventures, partnerships,
overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or
national park and environmental
settings.

The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.

The RC drilling results are from the
Korongou permit. Golden Rim is in an
agreement to acquire 90% of the
Project.

Tenure is in good standing.
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

The area that is presently covered by
the Korongou permit has undergone
someprevious mineral exploration.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Korongou Project covers part of a
highly prospective Lower Proterozoic
Birimian, Samira Hill Greenstone belt
and is traversed by a significant NE-
trending fault splay which is
connected to the major Markoye Fault
system. This fault system controls a
number of major gold deposits in
Burkina Faso, including Kiaka (5.9
Moz), Bomboré (5.2 Moz) and
Essakan (6.2 Moz).

The mineralisation lies in a package of
highly altered volcanic and
volcaniclastic host rocks and is
associated with a major gold-in-soil
anomaly and a prominent dilational
structural jog along a regional NE-
trendingshear zone.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to
the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill
holes:
o
easting and northing of the drill
hole collar elevation or RL
(Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill
hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down hole length and interception
depth
o
hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain whythis is the case.

Intercepts that form the basis of this
announcement are tabulated in Table
1, within the body of this
announcement and incorporate Hole
ID, Easting, Northing, Dip, Azimuth,
Depth and Assay data for the
mineralised intercepts.

Appropriate locality maps for some of
the holes also accompanies this
announcement.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Explanation
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearlystated.

All samples were taken at 1m
intervals.

For the 0.5 g/t Au cut-off calculations,
up to 3m (down hole) of internal waste
is included.

No weighting or high grade cutting
techniques have been applied to the
data reported.

Assay results are generally quoted
rounded to 1 decimal place.

Metal equivalent values are not
reported in this announcement.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).

The orientation of the mineralised
zone has been established and the
drilling was planned in such a way as
to intersect mineralisation in a
perpendicular manner.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

Maps are provided in the main text.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting
of Exploration Results.

All sample results containing
significant (>0.5 g/t) gold are reported
the table in the main text.
Other
substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results;
bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating
substances.

There is no other exploration data
which is considered material to the
results reported in the announcement.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-
out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas

Further infill drilling is planned to
follow up the results reported in this
announcement.
