GOLDEN RIM RECEIVES GOVERNMENT APPROVALS FOR KADA JOINT VENTURE

Highlights

• Golden Rim receives Government approvals for joint venture over Kada Gold Project in Guinea

• Golden Rim may earn up to a 75% interest in the 200km[2 ] advanced stage gold project

• Receipt of Government approvals allows transfer of the Kada permits into a new joint venture company and brings Golden Rim closer to the commencement of exploration

• Golden Rim’s due diligence drilling at Kada confirmed multiple, broad gold intersections obtained in drilling previously conducted by Newmont and a new deep oxide zone to 130m depth

• More than 33,000m of drilling completed at Kada to date; Golden Rim believes it can be rapidly progressed to a maiden JORC Mineral Resource.

West African gold explorer Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX: GMR; Golden Rim or Company ) is pleased to announce it has received approvals from the Guinean Government for the Kada Gold Project ( Kada ) Joint Venture to proceed.

Arrangements are now being made for the permits that comprise Kada to be transferred into a newly incorporated joint venture company.

Golden Rim’s Managing Director, Craig Mackay, said:

“ Receipt of the Government approvals is an important step toward the finalisation of the Kada transaction. We look forward to being able to commence work at Kada as soon as possible .”

Golden Rim announced its intention to acquire up to a 75% interest in Kada on 27 July 2020 and further announced that it had successfully completed its due diligence on the project on 24 November 2020.

Subject to all conditions under the Joint Venture Agreement ( JVA ) being satisfied (or waived), upon the Kada permits being transferred, Golden Rim may acquire an initial 25% interest in Kada through the issue of Golden Rim shares of such number as when divided by the 30-day VWAP of Golden Rim shares prior to the date of the conditions precedent being satisfied or waived, equals the Australian dollar equivalent of US$2,500,000 ( Consideration Shares ).

Given that Golden Rim’s existing approval to issue the Consideration Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 expires on 19 February 2021, to be prudent, Golden Rim has included a condition in the JVA for further shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Consideration Shares (which will be sought at a general meeting to be held on or before 17 February 2021). The parties have, however, agreed that if the customary government approvals are obtained by 31 January 2020 and the joint venture company is formed (such that it holds Kada) prior to 16 February 2021, this further shareholder approval condition will automatically be waived (and, in these circumstances, Golden Rim will complete its acquisition of an initial

25% interest in Kada by 19 February 2021 and issue the Consideration Shares under Golden Rim’s existing ASX Listing Rule 7.1 shareholder approval).

Following the issue of the Consideration Shares, Golden Rim expects to be able to immediately commence its exploration programs at Kada.

Initial exploration programs include an airborne VTEM and magnetic survey over the entire project area. In addition, an auger drilling program is planned to further define drill targets in areas where previous soil sampling by Newmont outlined significant gold anomalies. The auger drilling is expected to also extend to areas that have had no previous geochemical sampling.

Following the auger drilling, Golden Rim plans reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling programs to enable the Company to define a maiden JORC Mineral Resource at Kada and to test regional targets over the project area.

About the Kada Gold Project

The Kada Gold Project ( Kada ) comprises two exploration permits (Kada and Bamfele) and covers an area of 200km[2] in eastern Guinea. It is located in the central Siguiri Basin and it lies 36km along strike from and to the south of the 10Moz Siguiri Gold Mine operated by AngloGold Ashanti (Figure 1). Kada is an advanced project, having previously been explored by Newmont.

Newmont completed 33,857m of drilling ( 297 holes ) and outlined a non-JORC gold resource at Kada. With infill drilling, Golden Rim believes it can calculate a maiden JORC Mineral Resource in the nearterm.

There is considerable exploration upside at Kada. The gold mineralisation in the Newmont gold resource area remains open along strike and at depth. Only around 2% of the project area has been subjected to any exploration drilling and approximately 90% of the gold-in-soil anomalies remain untested at the Kada, including sample sites that have returned values up to 22,470ppb gold (22.5g/t gold) . Granite contact target areas are considered a priority for exploration.

ABOUT GOLDEN RIM RESOURCES

Golden Rim Resources Limited is an ASX listed exploration company with a portfolio of advanced minerals projects in Burkina Faso and Guinea, West Africa and in Chile, South America.

The Company discovered and has outlined a 2Moz Mineral Resource at the Kouri Gold Project, located in north-east Burkina Faso. Kouri is currently Golden Rim’s flagship project and it covers 325km2 of highly prospective Birimian greenstones. As exploration progresses, significant additional gold mineralisation, including a high-grade gold shoot, has been discovered and the gold inventory at Kouri is expected to grow.

The Company recently announced an agreement to acquire the Kada Gold Project in eastern Guinea. Guinea remains one of the most under-explored countries in West Africa. Kada was previously explored by Newmont who completed 34km of drilling and defined a non-JORC gold resource. With infill drilling Golden Rim believes a maiden JORC Mineral Resource can be defined at Kada in the nearterm.

In northern Chile, Golden Rim has the Paguanta Silver-Lead-Zinc-Copper Project. Historically a silver mine, the Company has outlined a Mineral Resource comprising 6.8Moz silver, 74Mlb lead and 265Mlb zinc at Paguanta. The Mineral Resource remains open. In addition, the project has several exceptional porphyry-copper targets that remain untested. With Golden Rim’s focus on gold in West Africa, the Company is seeking to divest the project.
