ASX/Media Announcement 24 May 2018 Highlights: Kouri Mineral Resource Exploration Update Exploration Strategy Exploration continues at Kouri, focusing on expanding the maiden 1 million ounce gold Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource: 1. At depth and along strike in the Immediate Resource Area most gold lodes incorporated in the Mineral Resource remain open at depth 2. Testing additional targets in the Immediate Resource Area targeting shallow high-grade gold mineralisation 3. Regionally systematic exploration of the entire 16km long gold mineralised shear zone Immediate Resource Area 40 RC drill holes (5,115m) have been completed in the immediate Resource area since the maiden Mineral Resource was calculated, testing 7 new target areas, with the aim of defining additional shallow high grade gold mineralisation. Assays received from the first 8 of these new RC holes outlined a new high grade gold lode (6m at 25.2 g/t gold 1 ) associated with a 1.2km long IP geophysical anomaly, that lies 100m southeast of the Mineral Resource. The remaining 32 RC holes have been submitted to the laboratory with assays expected shortly. Visible gold has been noted in several of these holes completed around the new high grade gold lode. Planning for a diamond drilling program to potentially extend the Mineral Resource at depth is underway drilling will initially focus on testing potential high grade shoot areas. Regional A 5,500m auger drilling program to systematically explore the entire 16km long gold mineralised shear zone is progressing well, with a total of 691 holes completed to date. First assay results for the auger drilling are expected shortly. RC drilling along this regional shear zone has commenced, with 16 holes (2,100m) planned to test targets where auger drilling had previously been completed at the Namagdo Prospect, approximately 3km southwest of the Mineral Resource. 1. ASX Announcement - New High Grade Gold Lode Discovered at Kouri dated 30 April 2018 Golden Rim Resources Ltd I ABN 39 006 710 774 I Level 2, 609 Canterbury Road, Surrey HillsVIC3127, Australia I PO Box 124, Surrey Hills VIC 3127, Australia www.goldenrim.com.au I info@goldenrim.com.au I T + 61 3 9836 4146

Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX: GMR) (Golden Rim or Company) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities on its 100% owned Kouri Gold Project (Kouri) in Burkina Faso. Kouri Gold Project Exploration Upside in Immediate Mineral Resource Area Golden Rim s maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 20.8 million tonnes at 1.5 g/t gold for 1 million ounces of contained gold (0.5 g/t gold lower cut-off grade) extends to approximately 90m below surface with most of the gold lodes open at depth (below the ~130m depth extent of the current drilling) and along strike (Figure 1). In addition, there is evidence supporting the potential to discover new gold lodes in parallel structures and along strike which Golden Rim are actively pursuing. Initially, Golden Rim s exploration is focused on locating additional shallow, open pittable, high grade gold mineralisation with reverse circulation (RC) drilling to build the Mineral Resource at Kouri. Planning for a diamond drilling program to potentially extend the Mineral Resource at depth is underway. This drilling will initially focus on testing potential high grade shoot areas. A further 40 RC holes (5,115m; holes BARC272 BARC311) have been completed since March 2018 and none of the results from these holes have been included in the Mineral Resource. The RC drilling is being conducted by Ausdrill Limited (Ausdrill) under the existing drilling for equity agreement. Assay results for 8 of these RC holes (BARC272 BARC279) have been received and with several of these holes outlining a new high grade gold lode (6m at 25.2 g/t gold from 8m including 1m at 114 g/t gold in BARC279 and 3m at 9.3 g/t gold from 53m in BARC278) associated with a 1.2km long Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical anomaly that lies 100m southeast of the Mineral Resource (Figure 2) (as announced on 30 th April 2018). Details on the remaining 32 holes (BARC280 BARC311) are provided in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2. Assays are expected shortly. These holes have tested 7 target areas (A G) which are described below and depicted on Figures 1 and 2: Target A: New high grade lode intersected in BARC278 and BARC279; Mineralisation open along strike and at depth; Visible gold panned in RC samples from BARC278 and BARC279; Associated with a northeast-trending, 1.3km long, IP chargeability high anomaly; Previous auger drilling returned results up to 2,449 ppb, 2,017 ppb and 1,593 ppb gold under shallow soil cover; 11 new holes completed, visible gold panned in several new holes. Target B New artisanal mining discovery under shallow soil cover; Visible gold in veining being extracted by the small scale miners; 510m gap in previous drilling on the Guitorga Lodes; Associated with a northeast-trending IP chargeability high anomaly; 2 new holes completed. Target C Northeast-trending, 2km long, IP chargeability high anomaly; Previous auger drilling results up to 7,001 ppb (one of the highest results obtained in auger drilling at Kouri), 2,097 ppb, 1,622 ppb, 1,588 ppb and 1,129 ppb gold under shallow soil cover; 2 new holes completed. Page 2

Target D East-west-trending, 420m long, IP chargeability high anomaly; Extends to the east from the MCA Pit, where previous RC drilling returned 7m at 2.6g/t gold from 107m in BARC025; Possible cross-structure; Previous auger drilling results up to 1,503 ppb and 1,223 ppb gold under shallow soil cover; 7 new holes completed. Target E 500m untested portion of the Diabouga Lodes associated with a northeast-trending IP chargeability high anomaly and which lies between the MCB Pit and the Diabouga Pit; Artisanal workings extend along this trend; Previous rock chip samples taken from the workings include 122.3 g/t gold and 27.9 g/t gold; 3 new holes completed. Target F 800m long, northeast-trending, IP chargeability high anomaly extending from the Diabouga Lodes to Guitorga Hill; New artisanal mining discovery under shallow soil cover in the northern portion of the target area; 2 new holes completed in the southern portion of the target area to follow-up the possible strike extent of a previous intercept of 4m at 9.0 g/t gold from 65m in BARC035 on the Diabouga Lodes. Target G 400m untested portion of the Guitorga Lodes associated with a northeast-trending IP chargeability high anomaly; Previous auger drilling results up to 1,872 ppb, 1,842ppb and 1,411 ppb gold; 5 new holes completed.

Regional Exploration Upside Regionally, Golden Rim commenced a 5,500m auger drilling program on the 5 th April 2018 to systematically explore the major gold mineralised shear zone that extends 12.5km south west of the Mineral Resource area (Figure 3). Limited previous exploration conducted by Golden Rim along this area of the shear zone has produced positive results, suggesting the remainder of this shear zone is also highly prospective for the discovery of extensive zones of gold mineralisation that could potentially be added to the Mineral Resource. The auger drilling is progressing well. To date, 691 holes for 2,955m have been completed. The first assay results from the auger drilling are expected shortly. Follow-up RC drilling along the regional shear zone has also commenced, with 16 holes (2,100m) planned to test targets where auger drilling had previously been completed at the Namagdo Prospect, approximately 3km southwest of the Mineral Resource (Figure 3). Commenting on the Company s exploration progress, Golden Rim s Managing Director, Craig Mackay, said: While we were very pleased with the maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 1 million ounces of gold at Kouri, we believe we have only just scratched the surface and there is potential to significantly expand and upgrade the Kouri gold resource. This will be the Company s focus over the next 12 months. Since the release of the maiden Mineral Resource we have been busy drilling. We have completed a further 40 RC holes in the immediate Mineral Resource area, under our drilling for equity agreement with Ausdrill, and we have now completed 691 auger holes along the 12.5km of prospective shear zone to the southwest. Our first drilling results since the Mineral Resource have been very positive with the discovery of a new high grade gold lode (intercepts including 6m at 25.2 g/t gold) that sits 100m to the south of the Mineral Resource. We have just completed 11 follow-up RC holes around this high grade mineralisation. Visible gold has been noted in some of these holes, and we eagerly await the assay results. Page 5

Appendix 2: JORC Code (2012 Edition), Assessment and Reporting Criteria Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation Sampling Techniques Drilling Techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where industry standard work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fire assay ). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). The sampling described in this report refers to reverse circulation (RC) drilling. 32 RC holes were drilled (at variable spacing). Hole depths range from 120 to 150m. Samples were all collected by qualified geologists or under geological supervision. The samples are judged to be representative of the rock being drilled. The nature and quality of sampling is carried out under QAQC procedures as per industry standards. RC samples are collected by a three-tier riffle splitter using downhole sampling hammers with nominal 127 to 140mm holes. Sampling is guided by Golden Rim s protocols and Quality Control procedures as per industry standards. To ensure representative sampling, 1m RC samples are collected from a cyclone, passing them through a 3-tier riffle splitter (producing a 2kg sample). Duplicate samples are taken every 30 th sample. Measures were taken to avoid wet RC drilling. RC samples are only crushed through a RDS Boyd crusher to -2mm and pulverised via LM2 to a nominal 90% passing - 75μm. A 200g sub-sample is taken for analysis. A 50g charge weight is fused with litharge-based flux, cupelled and the prill dissolved in aqua regia and gold tenor is determined by AAS. The RC rig used by Ausdrill is a track mounted DRA 600 rig with a 500 psi/1350cfm compressor. RC drilling was carried out using a 4.5-inch face sampling hammer. The location of each hole was recorded by hand held GPS with positional accuracy of approximately +/-5m. This was then followed up by surveying with a differential GPS, which is accurate to +/-0.1m in X, Y and Z. Location data was collected in WGS 84, UTM zone 31N. All drill holes were planned to be drilled at -55 degrees. This is considered an optimum angle for intersecting the mineralisation. Page 10

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Downhole surveying occurred (where-ever possible) at 30m intervals down hole. All RC samples are weighed to determine recoveries. Samples are recovered directly from the rig (via the cyclone and a 3-tier riffle splitter) in 1m intervals. Logging Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. Drill samples are visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination. RC recoveries are logged and recorded in the database. Overall recoveries are >95% for the RC. There are no significant sample recovery problems. A technician is always present at the rig to monitor and record recovery. The RC rig has an auxiliary compressor and boosters to help maintain dry samples. When wet samples are encountered, the RC drilling is discontinued. No relationship is seen to exist between sample recovery and grade. No sample bias is due to preferential loss/gain of any fine/coarse material due to the acceptable sample recoveries obtained by both drilling methods. Logging of RC samples recorded lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation, weathering, alteration, colour and other features of the samples. The geological logging was done using a standardised logging system. This information and the sampling details were transferred into Golden Rim s drilling database. All drilling has been logged to a standard that is appropriate for the category of Resource which is being reported. Logging is both qualitative and quantitative, depending on the field being logged. The drill core was photographed in both dry and wet form. Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. All holes are logged in full and to the total length of each drill hole. 100% of each relevant intersection is logged in detail. No DD core is reported in this announcement If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. RC samples were collected on the rig using a three-tier riffle splitter. The majority of the samples were dry. On the rare occasion that wet samples were encountered, they were dried prior to splitting with a riffle splitter. The standard RC sample interval was 1m. Page 11

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation Quality of assay data and laboratory tests For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. Samples were transported by road to BIGS Laboratory in Ouagadougou. The sample preparation for all samples follows industry best practice. At the laboratory, all samples were weighed, dried and crushed to -2mm in a jaw crusher. A split of the crushed sample was subsequently pulverised in a ping mill to achieve a nominal particle size of 90% passing 75 μm. Golden Rim has protocols that cover the sample preparation at the laboratories and the collection and assessment of data to ensure that accurate steps are used in producing representative samples. The crusher and pulveriser are flushed with barren material at the start of every batch. Sampling is carried out in accordance with Golden Rim s protocols as per industry best practice. Field QC procedures involve the use of certified reference material as assay standards, blanks and duplicates for the RC samples. The insertion rate of these averaged 3:30. Field duplicates were taken on 1m RC splits using a riffle splitter. The sample sizes are considered appropriate to correctly represent the style of mineralisation, the thickness and consistency of the intersections. The laboratory used an aqua regia digest followed by fire assay with an AAS finish for gold analysis. The analytical method is considered appropriate for this mineralisation style and is of industry standard. The quality of the assaying and laboratory procedures are considered to be appropriate for this deposit type. No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations. Sample preparation checks for fineness were carried out by the laboratory as part of their internal procedures to ensure the grind size of 90% passing 75 microns. Internal laboratory QAQC checks are reported by the laboratory. Review of the internal laboratory QAQC suggests the laboratory is performing within acceptable limits. For RC samples, Golden Rim inserts one blank, one standard and one duplicate for every 30 samples. Page 12

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation Verification of sampling and assaying The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. No new assays are reported in this announcement. None of the drill holes in this report are twinned. Location of data points Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Primary field data is collected by Golden Rim geologists on standardised logging sheets. This data is compiled and digitally captured. The compiled digital data is verified and validated by the Company s database geologist. The primary data is kept on file. There were no adjustments to the assay data. Down-hole surveys were completed at the end of every hole (where possible) using a Reflex down-hole survey tool. Measurements were taken at approximately every 50 meters. At the completion of the program all holes are surveyed with a DGPS, which has locational accuracy of +/- 0.1m, X, Y and Z. Data spacing and distribution Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Sample security Audits or reviews Specification of the grid system used. Location data was collected in UTM grid WGS84, zone 31 North. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. The measures taken to ensure sample security. The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. Topographic control was established by using a survey base station. Drilling conducted over 50 x 100m line spacing. In some areas (particularly the NE) this has been infilled to 100m x 25m and 50m x 25m spacing to establish an understanding of the continuity of the mineralisation. Not applicable. There was no sample composting. All drill holes reported here were drilled approximately at right angles to the strike of the target mineralisation. No orientation based sampling bias has been identified in the data at this point. Samples are stored on site prior to road transport by Company personnel to the laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. There has been no external audit or review of the Company s techniques or data.

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results Criteria JORC Code explanation Explanation Mineral tenement and land tenure status Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The RC drilling results are from the Kouri permit. Golden Rim owns 100% of the permit. Exploration done by other parties Geology Drill hole Information The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. Tenure is in good standing. The area that is presently covered by the Kouri permit has undergone some previous mineral exploration. The Kouri Project covers part of a highly prospective Lower Proterozoic Birimian, Samira Hill Greenstone belt and is traversed by a significant NE-trending fault splay which is connected to the major Markoye Fault system. This fault system controls several major gold deposits in Burkina Faso, including Kiaka (5.9 Moz), Bomboré (5.2 Moz) and Essakan (6.2 Moz). The mineralisation lies in a package of highly altered volcanic and volcaniclastic host rocks and is associated with a major gold-in-soil anomaly and a prominent dilational structural jog along a regional NE-trending shear zone. Appendix 1 contains a table summarising the location data (Hole ID, Easting, Northing, Dip, Azimuth and total Depth). Appropriate locality maps for some of the holes also accompanies this announcement. Further information referring to the drill hole results can be found on Golden Rim s website http://www.goldenrim.com.au/site/news-and-reports/asx- Announcements Data aggregation methods If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. There has been no exclusion of information. All RC samples were taken at 1m intervals. For the 0.5 g/t Au cut-off calculations, up to 3m (down hole) of internal waste, unless the total intercept grade falls below 0.5 g/t gold. No weighting or high grade cutting techniques have been applied to the data reported. Assay results are generally quoted rounded to 1 decimal place. Page 14

Criteria JORC Code explanation Explanation Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. Not applicable in this document as no exploration results are announced. Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths Diagrams Balanced reporting Other substantive exploration data Further work The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. down hole length, true width not known ). Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. Metal equivalent values are not reported in this announcement. The orientation of the mineralised zone has been established and the drilling was planned in such a way as to intersect mineralisation in a perpendicular manner. Not applicable in this document as no exploration results are announced. Not applicable in this document as no exploration results are announced. Maps are provided in the main text. The accompanying document is considered to represent a balance report. There is no other exploration data which is considered material to the results reported in the announcement. Exploration and infill drilling will continue to target projected lateral and depth extensions of the mineralisation. Refer to main body of this report. Page 15
