ASX/Media Announcement 16 July 2015
Initial Exploration Target Defined for Korongou
-
Further zones of significant bedrock gold mineralisation discovered in Phase 3 RC drilling within the Guitorga auger anomaly at Korongou.
-
The best new drill intersections include:
-
10m at 4.5 g/t gold from 15m, including 1m at 11.2 g/t gold and 1m at 20.4 g/t gold (BARC111);
-
8m at 3.0 g/t gold from 82m, including 1m at 15.9 g/t gold (BARC099);
-
17m at 0.7 g/t gold from 54m and 18m at 0.7 g/t gold from 76m (BARC105);
-
19m at 0.9 g/t gold from 5m (BARC102);
-
16m at 0.8 g/t gold from 49m (BARC101).
-
An initial Exploration Target of approximately 500,000 ounces to 611,000 ounces of gold at an approximate grade range of 1.8 g/t to 2.2 g/t gold has been identified at Korongou.
-
Most of the gold zones included in the Exploration Target are open along strike and at depth.
-
In particular, a 900m gap in the drilling between the Guitorga North and Guitorga South areas offers scope to expand the Exploration Target.
-
Further drilling, specific gravity measurements, metallurgical testing and resource modelling are planned over the next 9 months to determine the validity of the Exploration Target and to provide a potential maiden Mineral Resource for Korongou.
-
Golden Rim has acquired its 90% interest in the Korongou Project.
Cautionary Statement: The potential quantity (tonnage) and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of Mineral Resources.
Golden Rim Resources Ltd ( Golden Rim ; ASX: GMR) today announced that it has received the assay results from its Phase 3 reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling program and that it has calculated on Exploration Target at the Korongou Project in Burkina Faso.
Golden Rim is also pleased to announce that it has acquired its 90% interest in the Korongou Project following payment of the final instalment of US$100,000.
RC Drilling Results
The Phase 3 drilling included 16 holes (BARC096 – BARC111) for a total of 2,112m to follow-up previous significant gold intercepts obtained from drilling in the southern portion of the Guitorga auger gold anomaly at the Banouassi Prospect (Figure 1).

The new drilling intersected further zones of significant gold mineralisation and the drill hole location details and gold intercepts are listed in Table 1.
Hole BARC099 was drilled 100m to the NE of previous hole BARC083 which intersected two mineralised zones with 21m at 5.6 g/t gold , including 8m at 11.8 g/t gold (from 13m) followed by 12m at 1.1 g/t gold (from 51m). BARC099 returned intercepts of 4m at 2.0 g/t gold (from 12m) and 8m at 3.0 g/t gold (from 82m), including 1m at 15.9 g/t gold . It is believed that at least part of the mineralisation intercepted in BARC083 has a NE trend and that the intercept in BARC099 has intersected the strike extension of this mineralisation. There is considerable scope to extend this mineralisation to the NE, with further drilling.
Holes BARC100 – BARC105 were drilled to test a coincident magnetic anomaly and the southern portion of the Guitorga auger gold anomaly (>50 ppb gold) that balloons out in the vicinity of BARC083 in an E-W direction. Auger holes within this E-W portion of the anomaly returned high gold results including: 1,368 ppb gold, 1,034 ppb gold, 860 ppb gold and 743 ppb gold.
Most of the new holes drilled along the 1.2km long coincident magnetic and auger gold anomalies returned broad, low grade gold intersections such as:
-
BARC101: 16m at 0.8 g/t gold from 49m;
-
BARC102: 19m at 0.9 g/t gold from 5m and 5m at 0.7 g/t gold from 30m;
-
BARC105: 17m at 0.7 g/t gold from 54m and 18m at 0.7 g/t gold from 76m.
The gold mineralisation in this area remains open along strike and at depth. The intercepts suggest a coherent ESE-trending zone of gold mineralisation lies in this area and that a sizable, possibly low grade, gold resource could be established in this area with further infill drilling.
It is now interpreted that the better intercept in BARC083 (21m at 5.6 g/t gold) may lie at the intersection of NE and ESE-trending zones of gold mineralisation similar to the mineralisation exposed in the MCB and MCA pits (500m to NW).
Hole BARC111 intercepted 10m at 4.5 g/t gold from 15m, including 1m at 11.2 g/t gold and 1m at 20.4 g/t gold . This mineralisation is believed to trend NE and possibly is the same zone that was intercepted in previous hole BARC086 (1m at 14.9 g/t gold from 56m) located 300m to the NE. The mineralisation remains open along strike to NE and SW and at depth and offers an attractive target for follow-up drilling.
Hole BARC098 was drilled 70m beneath BARC083 but did not intersect the gold mineralised zones in BARC083 at the anticipated depth and the mineralisation in this area is now interpreted to dip steeply to the south. A follow-up diamond hole is planned to determine the exact strike and dip of the mineralisation.
Exploration Target
With the completion of the Phase 3 RC drilling at Korongou, an Exploration Target has been calculated for gold mineralisation identified within the Guitorga North, Guitorga South, MCA/MCB Pits and Diabouga areas (Figure 1).

The initial Exploration Target[1] for Korongou, detailed in Table 1, is estimated in a range of 7,954,000 to 9,722,000 tonnes grading from approximately 1.8 to 2.2 g/t gold and containing approximately 500,000 to 611,000 ounces of gold.

| TOTAL | 7,954,000 | 9,722,000 | 1.8 | 2.2 | 500,000 | 611,000 |
Notes:
1) The Exploration Target was estimated using the following parameters: 0.5 g/t gold cut-off grade; maximum of 100m strike extent from drill holes (where the continuity of the mineralisation is supported by mapping, the location of artisanal workings or anomalous auger results); maximum of 70m vertical extent below surface for the Guitorga North, Guitorga South and Diabouga areas; maximum of 120m vertical extent below surface for the MCA/MCB Pits area; minimum downhole intercept width of 2m; and SG of 2.5.
2) A total of 94 RC drill holes were used to prepare the Exploration Target. The holes are generally drilled on lines spaced from 40m – 100m apart, with a spacing along the lines ranging from 40m – 50m.
Exploration Upside
Most of the zones of gold mineralisation included in the Exploration Target are open along strike and at depth. The Exploration Target was only calculated to a maximum of 70m below surface for the Guitorga North, Guitorga South and Diabouga areas. Deeper drilling would allow the Exploration Target to be extended below 70m.
Of particular interest is a 900m gap in the drilling between the Guitorga North and Guitorga South areas which also offers scope to expand the Exploration Target (Figure 1). This gap area lies within the Guitorga auger anomaly and includes highly anomalous auger results up to 4,413 ppb (4.4 g/t), 2,306 ppb (2.3 g/t), 1,537 ppb (1.5 g/t), and 1,464 ppb (1.5 g/t) gold.
Future Work Programme
Further drilling (both diamond and RC), specific gravity measurements, metallurgical testing and resource modelling are planned over the next 9 months to determine the validity of the Exploration Target and to potentially provide a maiden Mineral Resource for Korongou.
Work has currently ceased at Korongou due to the commencement of the wet season and Golden Rim’s field exploration activities are scheduled to re-commence in October 2015.
Golden Rim’s Managing Director, Craig Mackay, said “The initial Exploration Target areas remain open at depth and along strike. The Exploration Target indicates the potential for a near surface gold resource, located in four areas: Guitorga North; Guitorga South; MCA/MCB Pits; and Diabouga. It is now our intention to validate and expand the initial Exploration Target with further drilling, and outline a maiden Mineral Resource at Korongou,” said Mr Mackay.
