Goldcliff Samples Bulk Tonnage Grades on Cliff Zone at Kettle Valley
June 24 2021 - 2:49PM
George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation
(“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS)
reports that Phase 1 analytical results have been received for
Goldcliff's Kettle Valley property, located 30 km north of Rock
Creek in southern B.C. Rock sampling of the newly discovered
epithermal "Cliff Zone" confirms the bulk tonnage, precious metal
grades of float boulders originally found downslope by the property
vendor. A cluster of rock samples collected along a 50-metre
traverse from small cliffs in the northern part of the Cliff Zone
returned analytical results ranging from 162 to 736 ppb Au and 14.0
to 41.7 ppm Ag. Soil sampling along the Cliff Zone proved to be
highly effective given that this zone is higher in elevation than
the glacial till encountered in the trenches. Soil samples were
often highly anomalous in silver with values ranging up to 11.70
ppm Ag.
The trenching programme was designed to test for the bedrock
source of abundant mineralized quartz-carbonate float exposed by
recent logging activity. Nine trenches were excavated spanning 600
metres in a north-northwest to south-southeast direction.
Overburden cover was deeper than anticipated and, in many areas,
bedrock was covered by highly cemented glacial till. Bedrock that
was exposed consisted of feldspar-quartz eye rhyolite porphyry,
crystal tuffs and feldspar megacrystic rhyolite or granitic rocks.
Megacrystic units were variably altered, fractured, silicified, and
cut by multistage quartz stockwork and veining.
Examination of trench exposures prompted follow up prospecting
of quartz-carbonate talus found up slope of some trenches. This
resulted in the discovery of a quartz-carbonate zone (Cliff Zone)
described in Goldcliff News Release dated May 26, 2021. The
subsequent reconnaissance prospecting and sampling traverse along
the base of a series of small to large cliffs has so far traced the
Cliff Zone for 700 metres. Field evidence also suggests that the
Cliff Zone may be several tens of metres wide. Rock and soil
samples along the traverse yielded anomalous gold values more than
50 ppb Au in several areas. The rocks and alteration seen in the
trenches are believed to be peripheral to the Cliff Zone, which is
a large, low sulphidation epithermal precious metal mineralized
zone that remains to be fully explored.
Given the positive results to date, a Phase 2 follow up
exploration programme will begin shortly concentrating on the ridge
top of the Cliff Zone. A detailed soil sampling grid has been
outlined which will also include prospecting and rock sampling. The
clay alteration exposed in the southern trenches and highly altered
rocks will also be tested to help determine at which level the
current exposures and Cliff Zone are within an epithermal
system.
