Golden Rim Resources Ltd. announced that it had commenced its drilling program at the Company's 70% owned Paguanta zinc-silver-lead project in Chile. The planned drilling program at the Patricia Prospect includes seven HQ diamond drill holes for 2,900m and 16 reverse circulation (RC) holes drill holes for 3,500m. The diamond drilling has commenced first and is expected to take 2.5 months to complete. The diamond drill holes are designed to infill and to test for depth extensions to the current Mineral Resource area at Patricia. Following completion of the diamond drilling, the RC drilling program will commence (anticipated for mid-March 2017) which is expected to take 1.5 months to complete. The RC drill program is designed to test for strike extensions to the existing mineralisation at Patricia to the ESE and to test for new veins to the south. With continuous drilling expected over the next 4 months, the Company anticipates a regular flow of news and looks forward to updating the market with drilling results as they come to hand.
