The company announced on 16 July the finding of these ore zones which were intersected during the phase 3 of its reverse circulation drilling program which covered 16 holes totalling 2112m.
The best results obtained showed gold contents of 4.5g/t on 10m from 15m including 11.2g/t and 20.4g/t, in addition to 3g/t on 8m from 82m including 15.9g/t and 0.9g/t on 19m from 5m.
Guitorga is, in the project, a location with high potential which revealed a mineralisation at shallow depth 3.5km long and on average 0.4km wide.
Golden Rim Resources owns 90% of the Korongou project. The project covers an area of 65 km2, 230 km North-East of Ouagadougou, and is presented as a key asset in the portfolio of Golden Rim which covers over 2495 km2 in Burkina Faso.
