DIAMOND DRILLING SIGNIFICANTLY EXTENDS MINERALISATION AT PAGUANTA

  • Results demonstrate mineralisation on the Cathedral Vein extends up to 250m beneath the previous owner’s drilling indicating strong depth extensions and down-dip continuity

  • Significant strike extension also evident from drilling 100m to the southeast of the previous owner’s drilling.

  • Significant new intercepts on the Cathedral Vein include:

  • 5.8m at 6.3% zinc, 1.2% lead, 44 g/t silver (465.4m to 471.2m), including 1m at 21.0% zinc, 3.4% lead, 122 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-137);

  • 6.55m at 6.3% zinc, 0.6% lead, 33 g/t silver (462.1m to 468.65m), including 1.95m at 16.1% zinc, 0.6% lead, 53 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-136);

  • 8.6m at 4.8% zinc, 0.9% lead, 34 g/t silver (489.7m to 498.3m), including 1.7m at 11.3% zinc, 1.1% lead, 48 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-136);

  • 6.2m at 0.7% zinc, 0.6% lead, 112 g/t silver (517.5m to 523.7m) (Hole PTDD-17-136); and

  • 0.75m at 12% zinc, 7.5% lead, >1,500 g/t silver[1] (526.9m to 527.65m) (Hole PTDD-17136).

  • Significant new intercepts on the Central Vein suggest the mineralisation may be strengthening at depth and include:

  • 5.5m at 7.6% zinc, 2.3% lead, 69 g/t silver (215.5m to 221.0m), including 3.6m at 10.6% zinc, 3.0% lead, 81 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-137); and

  • Gold assays confirm gold credits up to 0.5 g/t from the recently discovered Lell Vein.

  • Golden Rim remains on track to increase the Mineral Resource at Patricia Prospect (Patricia).

Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX: GMR) (Golden Rim, Company) advises that it has received strong zinc, silver, lead assays for the remaining four holes[2] in its recently completed seven hole (3,189m) diamond drilling program at Patricia located at the Paguanta Zinc-Silver-Lead Project (Paguanta) in Chile (Figure 1, Table 1).

1 The silver content in this intercept exceeds the maximum detection limit of 1,500 g/t silver for the assaying technique used. Re-assaying using an alternative technique is underway to determine the total silver content.

In addition, the Company has received gold assays for five of the diamond drill holes (Holes PTDD-17-131 to PTDD-17-135). Gold results for holes PTTD-17-136 and PTDD-17-137 are pending and are the last outstanding assays for the diamond drilling.

Golden Rim’s Managing Director, Craig Mackay, said “We have been very pleased with the results of the diamond drilling program. With the deep diamond drilling intersecting mineralisation up to 250m beneath the current zinc-lead-silver Mineral Resource, and further extensions evident along strike, we believe there is the potential for a solid increase to the Mineral Resource as we look to recommence the Feasibility Study at Paguanta later in 2017.

Detailed drilling results can be found in Appendix 1.

Appendix 1: Detailed Drilling Results

Multiple zinc-lead-silver intersections on the Cathedral Vein at Patricia were obtained in deep diamond drilling between 100m and 250m beneath the previous owner’s drilling, with assay results indicating significant depth extensions and continuity to the mineralisation (Holes PTDD17-136 and PTDD-17-137, Figures 2 and 3).

Significant new intercepts on the Cathedral Vein include:

  • 5.8m at 6.3% zinc, 1.2% lead, 44 g/t silver (465.m4 to 471.2m), including. 1m at 21.0% zinc, 3.4% lead, 122 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-137);

  • 6.55m at 6.3% zinc, 0.6% lead, 33 g/t silver (462.1m to 468.65m), including 1.95m at 16.1% zinc, 0.6% lead, 53 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-136);

  • 8.6m at 4.8% zinc, 0.9% lead, 34 g/t silver (489.7m to 498.3m) , including 1.7m at 11.3% zinc, 1.1% lead, 48 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-136);

  • 6.2m at 0.7% zinc, 0.6% lead, 112 g/t silver (517.5m to 523.7m) (Hole PTDD-17-136); and

  • 0.75m at 12% zinc, 7.5% lead, >1,500 g/t silver (526.9m to 527.65m) (Hole PTDD-17136).

Hole PTDD-17-136 intercepted a number of mineralised veins in the Cathedral Vein location. These veins are believed to be steep-dipping and orientated parallel to each other. Some of the veins comprise narrower zones of very high grade zinc and silver mineralisation with individual assays registering up to 36.2% zinc and > 1,500 g/t silver (>1.5 kg/t silver) . The silver content in this intercept exceeded the maximum detection limit of 1,500 g/t silver for the assaying technique used. The Company has now arranged for re-assaying of this intercept, using an alternative technique to determine the total silver content.

In addition, new zinc-lead-silver intersections on the Cathedral Vein were obtained in hole PTDD-17-134 which is located 100m to the southeast of the previous owner’s drilling indicating a significant strike extension to the mineralisation (Table 2).

==> picture [595 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

Multiple and wide zinc-lead-silver intercepts were obtained on the Central Vein (which lies approximately 120m north of the Cathedral Vein) in hole PTDD-17-137 suggesting the mineralisation may be strengthening at depth (Figures 1 and 2).

Significant new intercepts on the Central Vein include:

  • 5.5m at 7.6% zinc, 2.3% lead, 69 g/t silver (215.5m to 221.0m), including 3.6m at 10.6% zinc, 3.0% lead, 81 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-137); and

  • 3m at 3.1% zinc, 2.0% lead, 75 g/t silver (235.5 to 238.5m), including 0.6m at 10.8% zinc, 6.5% lead, 244 g/t silver (Hole PTDD-17-137).

The new diamond drilling results continue to confirm that the current Mineral Resource[4] at Patricia has potential to be expanded both at depth and along strike.

Gold assays were received for the first five holes of the diamond drilling (Holes PTDD-17-131 to PTDD-17-135). Gold credits ranged from 0.1 g/t – 1.4 g/t (Table 2). The high grade portion of the newly discovered Lell Vein (9.8m at 5.5% zinc, 0.9% lead, 43 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold ) has an encouraging gold content. The gold assays for the two diamond holes remain pending (Holes PTDD-17-136 and PTDD-17-137).

The reverse circulation (RC) drilling component of the program, consisting of 12 drill holes for 3,500m, is progressing well, and should be completed within a week (Figure 1).

The RC drilling is designed to test for strike extensions to the newly discovered Lell Vein and to further test the recently mapped 330m strike extension of the Cathedral Vein to the eastsoutheast of the current Mineral Resource.

The Company looks forward to updating the market with the RC results as they come to hand.

Appendix 2: 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 diamond core (DD) drill
samples. The DD drilling was sampled
using a geologic lithology and/or
mineralization boundary bracketing
system whereby samples are no less
than 0.5m and no more than 2.0m

The DD core was cut in half with a core
saw on site. Half of the core was
sampled, retaining the other half on site.

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

The samples are judged to be
representative of the rock being drilled.

Location of each hole was recorded in
WGS84 by hand held GPS with positional
accuracy of approximately +/- 3 metres.

At the completion of the drilling campaign
surveying with a differential GPS, which
is accurate to +/-0.1m in X, Y and Z will
be carried out on all holes drilled.
Location data was collected in WGS84.

All drilling samples were submitted to
ALS Laboratory Group, Chile for
preparation and analysis.
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).

DD drilling was carried out using a BBS-
56 rig drilling a HQ-3 (61mm) diameter
hole.

The DD core was collected in aluminium
boxes; labelled with the name of the
drillhole, box number and from-to
meterage. Drill core strings are identified
at the start and end of each string with
wooden blocks.
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.

Core recovery was carried out on site by
personnel responsible for drill hole control
by measuring recovered core lengths
versus drilled lengths. RQD was also
performed. This information was
registered on the wooden core blocks
and the drilling reports.

The consistency of the mineralised
intervals and density of drilling is
considered to prevent any sample bias
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

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

Page | 10

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation
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.

Logging of sulphide mineralisation and
veining is quantitative.

The geological logging was done using a
standardised logging system. This
information and the sample details were
entered into the drillingdatabase.
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.

The standard sample interval was
between 0.5-2m lengths of half core.
When duplicate samples were taken
quarter core samples were taken. The
sampling interval may be broken at
changes in geology or mineral zone, so
the length of the sample interval can vary.

A technician cut the core in half along the
axis using a diamond cutting saw, at
intervals defined by the geologist during
logging.

Half of the core is stored in the tray for
backup purposes, while the other half is
collected in a plastic bag for chemical
analysis. The bag includes two tickets
(one that is loose inside sample bag and
one which is stapled to interior of bag)
which identify the sample number. The
sample numbers are also written on both
sides on the exterior of the sample bag.

The geologist leaves one ticket in the
core tray at the beginning of each sample
interval and also stores a duplicate of the
ticket with the same number, hole-id,
from, to, etc.

Samples were then put into sealed sacks
(max 5 samples per bag) and stored
securely on site at project.

When 3 full sample lotes (complete drill
holes) were finished (3700-4700kilos),
the samples were transported by road to
to ALS Global laboratory in Antofagasta
(usually once every two weeks) in a
5000k cargo truck.

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 250g split of the crushed
sample was subsequently pulverised in a
ping mill to achieve a nominal particle
size of 90% passing 75um.

Field QC procedures involve the use of
certified reference material as assay
standards and blanks. The insertion rate
of these averaged 1:20.

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)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

The laboratory used Agua Regia
digestion and analysis by High Grade
Four Acid ICP-AES(ME-ICP61a) for 33
elements.Zn & Pb (20-100000ppm),Ag
(1-200ppm)

Over limit results for Zn, Pb, and Ag were
analysed using AAS (method OG62) to
provide ore grade results in the ranges of
Zn & Pb (0.001-30%), Ag (1-1500ppm)
(g/t).

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 were
reported by the laboratory.

Review of the internal laboratory QAQC
suggests the laboratory is performing
within acceptable limits.
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 was compiled and digitally
captured by the company’s geologists.

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

Reported results were compiled by the
Company’s Senior Geologists 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 EZ Trac down-hole survey
tool. Measurements were taken at
approximately every 15-20 meters
depending on length of the hole.

At the completion of the program all holes
are surveyed with a DGPS, which has
location accuracy of +/- 0.1m, X, Y and Z.
Location data was collected in WGS84
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.

There was no sample compositing in
samples reported. At the completion of
the programm, all assay results for Zn,Pb
and Ag will be compiled the company
may decide to do composite samples for
Au.

December 2012 Mineral Resource
Estimate (JORC 2004) was calculated
using 2m composite data subdivided by
the geological interpretation.

The method used to estimate mineral
resources for Zinc, Lead and Silver was

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 securely stored on site prior
to road transport by Company personnel
or ALS Global personnel to the laboratory
in Antofagasta, Chile.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Explanation

The Patricia zinc-silver-lead deposit,
located in the south of the Project area,
is the best explored area at Paguanta.

The epithermal-style mineralisation is
hosted in andesite and rhyolite volcanic
rocks and consists of silver-lead-zinc
sulphides in multiple mineralised vein
structures that are typically steep
dipping, 3m to 15m in width, and have
an east/west orientation. The style of
mineralisation within the vein structures
includes massive to semi-massive
sulphide replacement, breccia zones
and stockwork vein zones.
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.
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 clearly
stated.

Samples were taken at 1m intervals,
except when there was a geological
change. In this case, the sample was
taken to the geological boundary.

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

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.

length, true width not known’).
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
assays 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 of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commerciallysensitive.

Further infill, downdip and lateral
extension, as well as exploration drilling
is planned to follow up the results
reported in this announcement.
