Golden Rim Resources Ltd. announced it has commenced a 5,000m aircore drilling (AC) program at its Kada Gold Project (Kada) in Guinea.
Highlights: Recent field mapping has discovered new multiple prospective target areas within the Kada and Bamfele permits. Golden Rim has commenced a 5,000m aircore drilling program across the Kada and Bamfele permits to explore these untested areas, including the newly identified Sounkou and Nounkoun targets. Rock chip sampling has returned values up to 9.8g/t gold in bedrock outcrop at Sounkou.
Aircore drilling will also test geophysical anomalies at Bereko and Massan. First results from AC program expected mid-April. Diamond drilling is ongoing; first results are anticipated in early April 2023. The Company has discovered multiple new targets for exploration through field mapping and sampling, with recent results up to 9.8g/t gold returned in grab samples in the newly identified Sounkou prospect, which is located 13km southwest of the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Massan. Aircore drilling: Golden Rim has commenced aircore drilling in multiple prospects along the Kada Gold Corridor, including two new areas with no previous subsurface exploration. Golden Rim identified both the Sounkou and Nounkoun prospects by recent mapping and sampling of the greater Bamfele permit and will target these in the current AC program. New target area - Sounkou: The Sounkou prospect is located in the Bamfele permit, 13km SW of the MRE area at Massan (930,000Oz 2 gold) (Figure 2). At Sounkou, a river channel has exposed outcropping bedrock, which is
characterised by iron-rich quartz veining hosted by felsic dykes. The felsic dykes often display
a very high abundance of tourmaline, which is generally associated with areas of elevated gold
grades in the Massan prospect. Recent rock sampling in the area has yielded multiple samples of
anomalous gold, with grades up to 9.8g/t gold. New target area ­ Nounkoun: The Nounkoun prospect is located along the main Kada-Siguiri structural trend, 8.5km due-south of the MRE area at Massan. The Nounkoun prospect contains an abundance of tourmaline-rich
volcanic breccias excavated by artisanal mining from a possible paleochannel. Samples of these breccias have yielded grades up to 3.03g/t gold. AC drilling will be conducted on 250m spaced
lines, aiming to identify potential bedrock mineralisation within this area.
