West African gold explorer Golden Rim Resources Ltd. to announced gold assay results for the first 24 reverse circulation (RC) holes (totalling 3,035m) from exploration and infill drilling at its Kada Gold Project (Kada) in Guinea. Golden Rim commenced a 10,000m RC drilling program at Kada in mid-December 2022. The program is comprised of exploration drilling at the Bereko Prospect, exploration drilling in the Massan prospect north of the MRE, and some resource extension and infill drilling around the margins of the MRE.

Bereko (previously referred to as Bereko and Bereko South) lies within the Kada Gold Corridor, 9km north of Massan (Figure 1). Golden Rim designed further exploration drill holes after maiden drilling in 2022 returned very positive results (including 10m @ 5.5g/t gold and 11m @ 6.3g/t gold 2). Golden Rim has completed 42 holes at Bereko in this campaign, with four holes still to be drilled.

Assays have been received for seven holes at Bereko (BKRC004, BKRC006 - BKRC009, BKRC014, BKRC018) for 802m. Drilling results indicate mineralisation continuity across the northern Bereko Prospect, around the margins of some major artisanal workings. Mineralisation is trending north-south along the Siguiri trend and dips moderately-steeply to the east.

BKRC007: 18m @ 2.6g/t gold from 48m, including 6m @ 6.1g/t gold from 55m BKRC008: 16m @ 1.0g/t gold from 13m BKRC009: 16m @ 1.0g/t gold from 23m 6m @ 1.0g/t gold from 48m Drilling at Bereko has intercepted weak-to-moderately oxidised sedimentary rocks (siltstone, tuffaceous sandstone, and shale), with moderate limonite and kaolinite alteration seen from the top of the saprolite to end of hole. Mineralised areas typically have more hematite alteration, and >10% iron-rich quartz present. BKRC009 was drilled on the 1,234,200m Northing, 40m west of existing RC hole KRC089, on the edge of an artisanal mining pit (Figure 2).

Drilling successfully intercepted mineralisation up-dip of KRC089, as well as identifying additional mineralisation (16m @ 1.0g/t gold from 23m) that appears laterally continuous north to KRC086 (14m @ 1.3g/t gold4) and KRC090 (10m @ 1.1g/t gold 3). Mineralisation remains open to the south. BKRC006 - BKRC008 were drilled on the 1,234,250m Northing, 50m north and south of drilling from 2022, which yielded results up to 13m @ 1.8g/t gold 4. Mineralisation appears to be moderate-steeply dipping to the east and can be traced through all three holes on this section.
