Golden Rim Resources Announces Gold Assay Results for 23 Reverse Circulation Drill Holes from Exploration Drilling and Resource Definition at the Kada Gold Project in Guinea
Golden Rim Resources Ltd. announced its latest gold assay results for 23 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes (totalling 3,472m) from exploration drilling and resource definition at the Kada Gold Project (Kada) in Guinea. Kada Exploration Drilling: Golden Rim recently completed its first round of exploration drilling at Kada, which tested multiple bedrock gold targets along the Kada gold corridor that had been identified in soil and auger sampling and in limited previous Newmont RC and aircore drilling. The exploration drilling was conducted outside, but within 2km, of the area where Golden Rim is preparing its maiden MRE. New assay results from 12 exploration holes (KRC060-KRC070, KRC072) for 1,911m are reported in this announcement. New assay results are highly encouraging, with multiple sub-parallel zones of gold mineralisation discovered in numerous holes outside the area that will comprise Golden Rim's imminent maiden MRE, which includes the Newmont gold resource area. This mineralisation will not be included in the February MRE but may be included in a future update. Best gold intersections from these holes (0.3g/t gold cut-off) include: KRC064: 5m @ 2.0g/t gold from 111m, and 13m @ 0.7g/t gold from 136m (hole ended in mineralisation). KRC065: 14m @ 0.7g/t gold from 16m. KRC072: 66m @ 1.0g/t gold from 29m, including 11m @ 1.7g/t gold from 49m. KRC069 to KRC070 and KRC072 were drilled on section 1,225,000mN to test beneath a 350m wide zone of anomalous bedrock gold outlined in previous auger drilling (Figure 2). The westernmost hole, KRC072, intercepted 66m @ 1.0g/t gold from 29m. This mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike, and it lies 400m north of the MRE area. The gold mineralised intersection is characterised by strong kaolinite and hematite alteration of volcanic tuff, with abundant quartz and sulphides. The other holes on this section intersected narrower zones of mineralisation, with lower grades, but showing strong continuity between holes. The broad oxide intercept in KRC072 is highly significant as it demonstrates that wide zones of oxide gold mineralisation at Kada continue far beyond the Newmont gold resource area, and there is excellent potential to expand the gold inventory along the 15km Kada gold corridor, of which 11km remains to be drill tested. KRC064 to KRC066 and KRC068 were drilled on section 1,223,600mN to the south of the Newmont gold resource area, across an area where highly anomalous gold results had been obtained in previous soil sampling and auger drilling. Drilling intersected several sub-parallel zones of gold mineralisation. Whilst the mineralisation is of moderate width and grade, it is continuous across multiple drill holes from the surface down into the fresh rock. The mineralisation is wider within the oxide zone than it is in the fresh rock, suggesting some supergene enrichment within the oxide zone. KRC060 - KRC063 were drilled on section 1,225,200mN, 600m north of the Newmont gold resource area, where an historic Newmont hole TRC11 ended in mineralisation, returning 35m @ 0.8g/t gold from 157m. KRC061 and KRC062 intercepted narrower zones of mineralisation that appear to be up- dip extensions to the mineralisation in the historic high-grade intercept. Kada Resource Definition Drilling: Golden Rim recently completed its second round of Mineral Resource definition drilling at Kada, focusing on an area where Newmont previously outlined a non-JORC gold resource. New assay results from 11 resource extension RC holes (KRC043R, KRC0050 KRC059) for 1,561m are reported in this announcement. These holes were drilled around the peripheries of the MRE area and are the last results that will be included in the MRE, which is scheduled for delivery at the end of February 2022. New assay results identified additional zones of gold mineralisation, particularly in the southern portion of the MRE area. Best gold intersections from these holes (0.3g/t gold cut-off) include: KRC043R: 7m @ 2.1g/t gold from 97m; KRC051: 5m @ 2.1g/t gold from 52m; KRC053: 1m @ 24.0g/t gold from 0m, 11m @ 0.9g/t gold from 27m, 11m @ 1.0g/t gold from 85m; KRC058: 4m @ 2.8g/t gold from 13m; KRC059: 15m @ 0.7g/t gold from 119m. KRC050 to KRC052 were drilled on section 1,224,680mN, 80m north of Golden Rim's first round of resource definition drilling from mid-2021. All holes encountered zones of gold mineralisation that are continuous across multiple drill holes, with the best results in KRC051 which intersected 5m @ 2.1g/t gold from 52m within a broader intercept of 15m @ 0.4g/t gold. This intercept is an up-dip continuation of a historic intersection of 30m @ 0.5g/t gold in hole TRC14. KRC053 to KRC057 were drilled on section 1,223,880mN, immediately south of the Kada MRE area. The easternmost hole, KRC053, returned the best results, with multiple intercepts up to 11m wide. There is mineralisation continuity across multiple holes, albeit with narrower intercepts than that seen in the main high-grade core of the Kada MRE area. This area is characterised by a very deep weathering profile, with an oxide zone on average >100m in depth. KRC058 and KRC059 were drilled on section 1,223,800mN, either side of KRC015 drilled in Golden Rim's first round of resource definition drilling in mid-2021. KRC058 only retuned some shallow mineralisation, including 4m @ 2.8g/t gold from 13m, while KRC059 returned some narrow zones of mineralisation near surface, as well as a broader zone of 15m @ 0.7g/t gold from 119m in the fresh rock.
