Golden Rim cites splendid soil samples

THE BOURSE WHISPERER: Copper – gold exploration play Golden Rim Resources has received positive preliminary soil sample assays from its Galgouli South project area in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Galgouli South is located in southern Burkina Faso covering an area of 251 square kilometres located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of Ampella Mining’s Konkera deposit.

Results from 2268 soil samples, out of a total of 2,700 samples collected, demonstrated significant gold-in-soil anomalism.

Gold-in-soil results up to 1.13 grams per tonne gold were obtained over an area of 760m by 370m.

Golden Rim managing director Craig Mackay, said he was pleased to receive the positive results.

“We have outlined a coherent soil anomaly over an area of 760 metres north-south and up to 370 metres east-west at the Wewekera prospect,” Mackay said.
 
“This newly defined zone is of interest to us because of the high gold-in-soil values, such as 1.12 grams per tonne and 1.07 grams per tonne gold, and because there may be a structural connection between Wewekera and the shear zone that hosts Ampella’s Konkera gold deposit.”

The main area of gold anomalism at Wewekera occurs on the eastern edge of a small magnetic high anomaly near the contact of greenstone and intrusive units.

The anomaly lies between two west-north-west-trending interpreted structures, which form part of a fault splay system that runs eastward into Ampella’s licences.

One of these major faults is interpreted to be a splay off the shear zone that hosts the Konkera deposit.

Golden Rim also received rock chip results, with a total of 130 rock chip samples collected, of up to 2.39 g/t gold obtained in the vicinity of the new soil anomalies.

The company has a program of geological mapping and power auger sampling currently underway to follow-up these significant gold-in-soil results.
