Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX:GMR) has completed 2,233 metres (17 holes) of reverse circulation drilling at the Massan prospect at its Kada gold project in Guinea.
The RC drill rig has now moved to the Bereko prospect, following up on multiple zones of high-grade mineralisation along a 5.5-kilometre-long bedrock gold anomaly.
These zones include results of 11 metres at 6.3 grams per tonne gold and 10 metres at 5.6 grams per tonne.
At Bereko, 1,318 metres or 12 holes have been completed as of 8 January 2023.
Golden Rim has begun trenching at Massan to enhance its understanding of the geometry and structural controls of mineralisation within the 930,000-ounce gold Mineral Resource area.
A diamond drilling is also in transit to Kada and is expected to commence drilling shortly with 3,500 metres of diamond drilling planned across both the Massan and Bereko prospects.
Golden Rim Chief Executive Officer Tim Strong said: “We are delighted at the speed with which the drilling has commenced and the progress of our exploration program at our flagship Kada project in Guinea.
“RC drilling has averaged more than 1,000 metres per week at Massan.
“The RC rig has moved to the Bereko prospect, 9km north of the current Mineral Resource, allowing us to commence a trenching campaign at Massan to further improve geological confidence within the Mineral Resource area.
“A diamond drilling rig is scheduled to commence soon and is expected to provide us with vital structural information about the controls on mineralisation across both the Massan and Bereko prospects.
“We are expecting our first assay results towards the end of January, and the two drill rigs and trenching will provide us with a steady stream of new results over the coming months.”
