Potential for Panorama Ridge Renewed by Rock Sampling of up to 6.76 g/t Gold Beyond Previous Drilling
06 Februar 2023 - 2:00PM
George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation
(“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS)
reports that geochemical results including 6.76 g/t and 5.02 g/t
gold have been received from rock sampling at the Company’s 100%
owned Panorama Ridge property at Hedley, BC. This sampling was part
of a reconnaissance prospecting and geochemical programme
undertaken in September 2022. A total of 54 rock samples were
collected from outcrop and angular mineralized float during the
programme and submitted to MSALabs for analysis by the 40-gram
ICP-MS-112 multi-element method.
The September programme focused on areas beyond those previously
drilled. Between 2003 and 2008, Goldcliff excavated 6,198 metres of
trenching and drilled 16,611 metres in 190 drill holes. Continuous
and consistent grades over 0.75 g/t gold were encountered from
surface to shallow depths up to 30 metres in two zones, the
York-Viking and the Nordic.
The two 2022 strong-grade float samples were from a zone named
Skar, which is located approximately 900 metres southwest of the
previously drilled York-Viking zone. Although this was a previously
identified area of interest, at the time of Goldcliff’s last
activity the area was heavily timbered with little outcrop. It has
subsequently been logged which has provided access for more
detailed exploration.
These two Skar vicinity samples are from an area where a large
boulder uncovered beside a new logging trail in 2013 assayed 2.37
g/t gold. When the area was revisited in September, 2022 the trail
had been reclaimed. The angular nature of the 2022 float samples
suggests a potential source nearby and upslope. Rock samples from
float, taken in 2009, about 250 meters westward and downslope from
the two Skar samples yielded 9.77 g/t and 14.57 g/t gold. Another
downslope float sample taken in 2019, at about the same elevation,
halfway between Skar and York yielded 17.8 g/t gold.
Goldcliff’s geological team has developed a working hypothesis
that York-Viking drilled mineralization continues as a flat lying
zone to the southwest through the high grade Bonanza trench and
extends at least 900 metres further southwest to the Skar zone and
recent sampling. This hypothesis is supported by a review of
Goldcliff’s previous geophysical surveys on the property. This will
be an area of high priority follow up exploration.
The Bonanza trench was excavated in the fall of 2007. It
returned 5 metres of 140.21 g/t gold and included a 1 metre section
that assayed 525.0 g/t gold. Follow up metallic screening assay and
electron microprobe analysis confirmed no nugget effect, but showed
some free gold and the presence of Hedleyite and Joseite, the two
bismuth tellurides. These minerals were present in the
highest-grade stopes in the nearby Nickel Plate mine. The two 2022
Skar samples and the other anomalous gold and silver samples all
contained elevated values of bismuth and tellurium. Bismuth and
tellurium are key pathfinder elements for gold mineralization in
the Hedley district.
Sampling of an area named Tower along the southeast base of
Panorama Ridge returned a zone of anomalous gold values, with
elevated bismuth and tellurium. Highlighting this area was a float
sample of 0.585 g/t gold. This sample confirms 2013 sampling that
returned 0.551 g/t (float) and 0.645 g/t gold (one metre chip).
These three samples cover a length of 240 metres. A further 980
metres northeast, downslope from the previously drilled Nordic
zone, a 2022 sample returned 0.346 g/t gold. Rock sampling of the
Cemetery, South Ridge and North Ridge yielded background to
slightly anomalous values.
Goldcliff is awaiting processing and analysis of the soil and
the lithic drainage sediment [LDS] geochemical sampling also
undertaken in September. Once all results are received and compiled
a detailed follow up exploration programme will be formulated for
execution this field season.
