Golden Rim Resources (ASX: GMR) has identified a 1.5 kilometre copper anomaly at the Balogo Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa, after 696 soil samples were submitted for multi-element analysis for 36 elements - conducted by ALS Chemex in Johannesburg.
The results outlined an extensive copper-in-soil anomaly with results up to 2,100 parts per million copper.
The anomaly starts in the vicinity of Hole BRC001 (12 metres at 0.24 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 0.61% copper from 19 metres, and 11 metres at 0.40g/t gold, 0.50% copper from 55 metres, where the first outcrops of the Cobra Shear occur.
The company said the shear zone is then obscured by soil cover further to the southwest.
Craig Mackay, managing director, said, “We have now outlined a major copper-in-soil anomaly at Balogo which we believe enhances the exploration potential of the Cobra Shear Zone.”
The next step for Golden Rim will be after the wet season, with the company planning to re-commence reverse circulation drilling at the Cobra Shear Zone, along with the untested portion of the major copper-in-soil anomaly.
