and we look forward to commencing the second round of resource definition drilling at Kada shortly. We are on track to deliver a Maiden Resource for Kada towards the end of Q42021.

“We are excited by the oxide gold results to date from Kada and now have the funding in place to proceed with our strategy of advancing this core asset and delivering value for shareholders.

“Kada lies within the highly prospective Birimian greenstones of West Africa which now host more than 60 gold deposits in excess of 1Moz of gold and more than 35 gold deposits in excess of 3Moz of gold.”

Golden Rim will use proceeds from the Placement to fund work programs on its Kada Gold Project in Guinea with infill reverse circulation (RC) drilling in the Newmont gold resource area in preparation for the maiden Mineral Resource, RC drilling along the 15km gold corridor highlighted in recent auger drilling in the search for more oxide gold mineralisation, auger drilling of additional regional targets, and metallurgical test work in the coming months. The Placement also provides working capital.

This announcement effects the end of the Company’s trading halt.

ABOUT GOLDEN RIM RESOURCES

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

The Company’s flagship project is 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 39km of drilling and defined a non-JORC gold resource. Golden Rim is focussed on the extensive oxide gold mineralisation at Kada and with the completion of infill drilling the Company is planning to deliver a maiden JORC Mineral Resource in Q4/2021. Most of the 200km[2] project area remains poorly explored and there is considerable upside for the discovery of additional oxide gold mineralisation.

The Company discovered and has outlined an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 50Mt at 1.3g/t gold for 2Moz[1] at the Kouri Gold Project, located in north-east Burkina Faso. Kouri covers 325km[2] of highly prospective Birimian greenstones. Recent exploration has successfully located several high-grade gold shoots. With a focus on Kada alternative options for Kouri are being considered.

In northern Chile, Golden Rim has the Paguanta Copper and Silver-Lead-Zinc Project. Historically a silver mine, the Company has outlined a Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.4Mt at 88g/t silver, 5.0% zinc and 1.4% lead for 6.8Moz silver, 265Mlb zinc and 74Mlb lead[2] at the Patricia Prospect. The Mineral Resource remains open. In addition, the project has several exceptional porphyry-copper targets, such as Loreto, that remain untested.
