Goldcliff Reviews Kettle Valley Drilling
2022年7月29日 - 6:15AM
George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation
(“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS)
reports that all analytical results have been received for the five
NQ size diamond drill holes (1,500m) completed in April 2022 on the
Kettle Valley gold/silver (Au/Ag) project in southern B.C. This was
a reconnaissance drill program conducted from the currently
available infrastructure (logging roads). The wide spaced holes
spanning 550 metres from north to south were drilled easterly at
shallow angles (45 deg). The objective was to test a portion of the
nearly one kilometre long, well defined north-south trending Au/Ag
soil and rock geochemical anomaly.
Drilling provided important geologic information in
the quest to locate a new epithermal gold/silver deposit.
Epithermal Au/Ag deposits are structurally controlled with
mineralization often occurring within discrete elevation ranges.
All holes encountered one or more structures ranging from <1m up
to 17.65m (core length). Structures often occur as brecciation
along with strong silicification, carbonate alteration, and
pyritization all indicative of intense hydrothermal activity.
The epithermal zones did not yield a “discovery
intercept” and surprisingly did not carry significant precious
metals, with Au/Ag values ranging from background to mildly
anomalous. There were however, discrete mineralized sections such
as in holes KV22-01 and KV22-05 near the southern end of the area
tested. At 58.0m in hole KV22-01, a 1.50m interval assayed 0.257g/t
Au and further downhole starting at 126.50m a 9.5m section graded
0.297g/t Au and 5.92g/t Ag. Contained within this interval is a
1.50m sample grading 1.272g/t Au and 11.42g/t Ag. In KV22-05
located 85m north a 1.50m interval at 48.5m downhole graded
0.237g/t Au and occurs near the same elevation as the upper
intercept in KV22-01.
Although “epithermal type” structures were
intersected the drilling may have been below the favourable
elevations of such mineral systems. When viewed in section the
drill holes were from 70 to over 250m below the Cliff Zone soil
anomalies and bedrock mineralization.
All holes encountered “basement” granites and were
terminated in these rocks. The granites vary in composition and
texture, likely indicating different phases or pulses. All were
fractured, often sericite altered, and contained local
quartz-calcite veining but did not carry precious metals
values.
Late in the program prospecting of mineralized
epithermal breccia float led to the discovery of the bedrock
source. Located at the current southern extent of the “Cliff Zone”
a bedrock sample yielded 0.098g/t Au and 3.26g/t Ag. Prospecting
revealed the Cliff Zone in this area has a potential east-west
extent (width) of ~90m which is much more than seen elsewhere. This
area is very significant not only for the size but that the zone
appears to extend southerly beneath young volcanic cover.
As stated, the 2022 drilling program took advantage
of existing logging roads and only utilized five of the Company’s
twenty permitted drill sites. During the program the feasibility of
constructing a drill access road to the top of the Cliff Zone was
examined. This would allow any future exploration and drilling to
be near the height of land, directly over the soil/rock geochemical
anomalies, mineralized bedrock occurrences and in the potentially
favourable elevation levels of the epithermal system. Goldcliff
plans further detailed prospecting over the areas of soil/rock
geochemical anomalies and mineralized bedrock occurrences.
QA/QC
The Company employed a quality assurance/quality
control (QA/QC) program including the insertion of blanks,
standards, and duplicates. Drill core samples were cut
longitudinally using a diamond-blade rock saw. Half of the core was
collected in labelled and tagged poly bags that were sealed with
single use ties. The remainder of the core was retained in the
original core box for permanent storage. Most sample lengths ranged
from 1 to 2 metres and were controlled by mineralization,
alteration and lithologic and/or structural contacts. Core samples
were delivered to a commercial shipper in Kelowna for transport to
MSA Labs in Langley, BC.
MSA Labs is an analytical facility that meets the
requirements of AC89, IAS Accreditation Criteria for Testing
Laboratories and has demonstrated compliance with ISO/IEC Standard
17025:2017.
Sample preparation (Method PRP-910) involves
drying, crushing to 70% passing 2mm splitting off 250 grams which
is then pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Forty gram samples
were digested by 1:1 Aqua Regia and analyzed by multi-element
ICP-AES/MS (Method IMS112). Samples reporting >100 ppb gold were
Fire Assayed using a 30 gm sample.
CORPORATE MATTERS
At the Company’s Annual General Meeting held April
28, 2022 all items were passed including approval by shareholders
of the Company’s Rolling 10% Stock Option Plan.
