Golden Rim Resources Ltd. announced it has commenced a 10,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its flagship Kada Gold Project (Kada) in Guinea. Following a comprehensive review of data from previous field campaigns, a resource expansion and discovery drilling campaign along the 15km Kada Gold Corridor has been planned, which includes both RC and diamond drilling programs. The RC drilling program includes follow-up exploration holes at the Bereko prospect after initial RC exploration drillholes intersected multiple zones of mineralisation (including 11m @ 6.3g/t gold and 10m @ 5.6g/t gold), as well as potential resource extensions around the open mineralisation at the margins of the maiden Mineral Resource at the Massan prospect. Drilling will also test numerous new exploration targets identified by recent gradient-array Induced Polarisation (IP) and Pole-Dipole IP geophysical surveys along the Kada Gold corridor.

Diamond drilling is expected to commence in January 2023, with 3,500m planned across both the Massan and Bereko prospects. At Bereko, diamond drilling will focus on confirming the width, grade and extensions of the highly significant gold mineralisation discovered in the initial RC drilling program and providing structural information needed for resource estimation. Diamond drilling at Massan will test numerous zones of open mineralisation at depth (including below 29m @ 8.5 g/t gold in previous hole, KRC025), as well as providing further confidence to progress the mineral resource towards an Indicated classification.
