Goldcliff Identifies Drill Targets at Kettle Valley Gold Project
17 November 2021 - 12:45AM
George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation
(“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS) is
pleased to announce that exploration activities have identified
drill targets at the Company’s Kettle Valley Gold (KVG) project
located near Rock Creek, B.C. The KVG project is a newly recognized
epithermal gold-silver (Au, Ag) occurrence in an area where there
is no record or evidence of previous mineral exploration. Goldcliff
optioned the property based on observations and sampling by the
vendor of a widespread boulder field in a recent logging cut block.
The boulders, highly anomalous in precious metals, consist of
quartz-carbonate breccias, quartz veining, bladed calcite, with
adularia, and sericite alteration along with clay alteration zones
that are indicative of a low sulfidation epithermal system.
The angular nature and abundance of mineralized boulders
indicated nearby bedrock sources and prompted Goldcliff to conduct
a trenching programme in early spring. The absence of similar
quartz-carbonate in the trenches led to prospecting further upslope
and westerly. This resulted in the discovery of an Au-Ag
mineralized quartz-carbonate breccia zone (DR21-01; 736 ppb Au,
41.7 ppm Ag, pictured below left) along a steep, west dipping fault
in rhyolitic volcanics. Prospecting and sampling southerly along
the base of small to large cliffs traced quartz-carbonate,
breccias, quartz-amethyst and stockwork veining for 700 metres
along what is referred to as the Cliff Zone. Near the southern part
of the zone quartz-amethyst breccias uphill and westerly indicate
potential widths of several tens of metres. (See Goldcliff News

In early July, a Phase 2 follow-up programme of detailed grid
soil and rock sampling was conducted over the Cliff Zone along with
wider coverage sediment sampling. Sampling was highly successful
and revealed anomalous Au, Ag in soil and rock samples further west
than previously known. A case in point is rock sample DS21-20R
(pictured above right) consisting of silicified and brecciated rock
fragments, taken from an anomalous soil sample site, that yielded
1,794 ppb Au and 93.16 ppm Ag. This sample is significant in that
it; 1) consists of very angular, near in situ quartz-carbonate rock
and 2) is among the higher Au-Ag values to date and 3) is nearly
100 metres west of discovery sample DR21-01. This infers that the
Cliff Zone may be part of a wide, north-south trending, mineralized
structural "corridor". Stream sediment sampling identified
anomalous precious metal and pathfinder elements that suggest
significant mineral potential in the western portion of the
property within this north-south mineralized structural
corridor.
Continued encouraging results prompted a third exploration
programme in early October consisting of further close spaced soil
sampling, prospecting, rock sampling and mapping. This work brings
the north-south extent of Goldcliff's exploration area to over two
kilometres.
Quartz veins, stockwork veining, breccias and quartz-carbonate
were found in granitic rocks proximal to a major fault zone up to
200m northerly of sample DR21-20R. This new area is very
significant as it represents a previously unrecognized geological
setting and further expands the property's exploration
potential.
Goldcliff holds an option to purchase a 100% interest in the
property by paying $450,000 over five years ($70,000 paid to date),
subject to a 2.5% Net Smelter Return royalty. The property is
two-wheel drive road accessible, located 33 kilometres north of the
village of Rock Creek in south central British Columbia. The local
climate and target elevation enable year-round exploration.
Furthermore, logging road access and topography of the target areas
are such that depth potential can be tested with relatively short
drill holes (<200 metres).
