Assays for some 1,782 auger holes are pending.
Golden Rim has now completed 16 resource definition holes at
Kada and recently added a RC rig to the programme as it races
towards a maiden resource for the project during the second
half of the year. Newmont previously calculated a non-JORC
resource in 2012 after completing nearly 34,000m of drilling.
With the rainy season approaching, the company has
postponed its major regional auger programme, focused on
gold mineralised saprolite outside the Newmont resource area,
until November.
