GOLDEN RIM COMMENCES DIAMOND DRILLING AT THE KADA GOLD PROJECT

West African gold explorer Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX: GMR; Golden Rim or Company ) is pleased to announce it has commenced diamond drilling at its Kada Gold Project ( Kada ) in Guinea.

Highlights

  • A 2,500m diamond drilling program has commenced at Kada and will focus on the Newmont gold resource area.

  • A reverse circulation (RC) drilling program (4,000m) will commence at Kada shortly.

  • Diamond and RC drilling to be utilised to prepare a maiden Mineral Resource for Kada which the Company expects to deliver during 2H CY21 .

  • Golden Rim also has three power auger rigs operating at Kada and the planned 15,000m auger drilling program, which designed to delineate mineralised zones outside the Newmont gold resource area, is progressing well with 1,128 holes for 12,552m completed to date.

  • Zones of intense quartz – limonite mineralisation continue to be intersected in saprolite (weathered bedrock) beneath laterite and soil cover outside the area previously drilled by Newmont.

  • Results for the first batch of auger samples are expected in April.

  • Golden Rim is also drilling on the high-grade Diabatou Gold Shoot at its Kouri Gold Project in Burkina Faso – first results from Kouri expected in early May.

Comment from the Managing Director

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

“Golden Rim has commenced infill diamond drilling at Kada, focusing on the area where Newmont previously calculated a non-JORC gold resource, as the infill drilling will allow us to deliver a maiden JORC-compliant Mineral Resource for Kada during 2H CY21.

“Our auger drilling at Kada is progressing very well and we have completed more than 2/3 of the planned program. We continue to discover quartz – limonite mineralisation in bedrock outside the area previously drilled by Newmont, which is highly encouraging, and our first assays are expected shortly.”

Kada Gold Project

Golden Rim has commenced an infill drilling program on the Newmont gold resource area at Kada (Figures 1 & 2). The planned drill holes, along with the historical drilling, will provide Golden Rim with an 80m x 80m drill pattern throughout the area where Newmont calculated a non-JORC gold resource in 2012 after completing nearly 34,000m of drilling. Golden Rim’s drilling will provide sufficient infill drilling for the preparation of maiden Mineral Resource during 2H CY21 .

The infill drilling is to comprise 2,500m of HQ diamond drilling which is now underway and 4,000m of RC drilling which will commence shortly.

Golden Rim’s 15,000m power auger drilling program at Kada (400m spaced lines, with 50m spaced sample points along each line) is progressing well. The aim of the auger drilling program is to explore for gold mineralised saprolite (weathered bedrock) outside the Newmont gold resource area and under the shallow laterite and soil cover, which lies across the bulk of the project area.

Golden Rim has three power auger rigs operating at Kada, with 1,128 holes for 12,552m completed to date. Drilling continues to intersect zones of intense quartz – limonite mineralisation in saprolite (weathered bedrock), beneath ~10m of laterite and soil cover, which is highly encouraging (Figure 1). The results for the first batch of auger samples are expected shortly.

Kouri Gold Project

Golden Rim is also drilling at the Kouri Gold Project (Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 50Mt at 1.3g/t gold for 2Moz) in Burkina Faso, with a ~2,000m diamond drilling program underway at the high-grade Diabatou Gold Shoot. First results from Kouri are expected in early May.

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 an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 50Mt at 1.3g/t gold for 2Moz at the Kouri Gold Project, located in north-east Burkina Faso. Kouri is currently Golden Rim’s flagship project and it covers 325km[2] 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 has recently secured 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. With infill drilling Golden Rim believes a maiden JORC Mineral Resource can be defined at Kada in the near-term. Most of the 300km[2] project area remains poorly explored and there is considerable upside for the discovery of additional gold mineralisation.

In northern Chile, Golden Rim has the Paguanta Silver-Lead-Zinc-Copper 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 at Paguanta. The Mineral Resource remains open. In addition, the project has several exceptional porphyry-copper targets that remain untested.
