West African gold explorer Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX: GMR) has obtained positive gold assay results for a further three reverse circulation (RC) holes and 12 Air Core (AC) holes (totalling 1,016m) from exploration drilling at its flagship Kada Gold Project in Guinea.
Highlights
• Maiden Exploration RC drilling at Sounkou intercepts 17m @1.3 g/t gold, providing a prime target to expand the Kada Gold Inventory.
• Air core drilling across Bereko and Massan provide additional mineralized targets for resource growth.
• RC drilling is now complete, with assays pending for a further 10 holes (1,118m).
• 3,500m of diamond drilling (DD) at Bereko and Massan prospects is progressing well, 1,486m drilled to date.
• 3,000m aircore drilling (AC) programem testing newly discovered targets up to 13km south of Massan, is complete.
• Preparation of updated Massan MRE and maiden Bereko MRE on track for delivery in 2023.
“We are very pleased to report the first results back from the recently discovered Sounkou prospect,” Managing Director, Tim Strong, said.
“This area represents a significant opportunity to increase the resource footprint at Kada, and to intercept 17m @1.3g/t in the very first hole is very encouraging.
“We used Air core drilling to target some isolated auger anomalies along the 15km long Kada Gold Corridor, which has provided additional targets to follow up with RC drilling planned during the next field season.
“Diamond drilling is ongoing and providing critical further structural information as we progress towards defining a maiden Mineral Resource at Bereko, and an updated Resource at Massan.”
Kada Exploration Drilling
Golden Rim commenced a 10,000m RC drilling programme at Kada in mid-December 2022. The program comprised exploration drilling at the Bereko Prospect and north of the MRE area within the Massan Prospect, as well as some resource extension and infill drilling around the margins of the MRE. In addition, a 3,500m Diamond Drilling program testing open mineralization and providing structural information commenced in March 2023, and a 3,000m Air Core drilling program targeting new discoveries is now complete.
Current Progress and Next Steps
RC drilling at Bereko and Massan is now complete, with assays pending for the final seven holes (704m) as Massan. Three RC holes have also been drilled at Nounkoun (414m) Results for these holes, and the final trenches at Massan are expected during May.
Further aircore drilling results are expected in May, and diamond drilling will continue until approximately the end of May. GMR will then analyze results will then be analyzed over the coming wet season in preparation for an MRE upgrade at Massan and a maiden MRE at Bereko.
