[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation (“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS) reports that recent sampling of the upper levels of the Nevada Rand mine has demonstrated the presence of remaining high-grade silver and gold mineralization. Medium to bonanza grade mineralization was encountered on all levels sampled, with silver values running from 131 g/t to 1,415 g/t and gold values running from 2.45 g/t to 37.9 g/t. A three component, phase one exploration programme was conducted at the Nevada Rand property in late August of this year. The programme components were underground mapping and sampling, surface mapping and sampling and extensive drainage sediment sampling. Geologic consultants specializing in old mine workings were able to access the old Nevada Rand shaft. Mapping and sampling were conducted on the 50 ft level, the 100 ft sub level, the 150 ft level and the 180 ft sub-level. In addition to demonstrating that high grade mineralization remains unmined underground, the exercise provided insight into underground geology and the alteration and mineralization characteristics. As can be seen from the table below, medium to high grade mineralization was found on all the levels sampled. Underground sampling results (all samples were taken on levels 50, 100 sublevel, 150 and 180 sublevel): Sample Number Description Mine Level Gold (g/t) Silver (g/t) 5201950004 2 metre rock chip 50’ level 5.31 135 5201950007 Ore chute 150’ level 10.85 278 5201950011 2 metre rock chip 100’ level 7.15 1415 5201950012 1 metre rock chip 100’ level 14.10 763 5201950013 2.5 metre rock chip 100’ level 3.98 131 5201950014 0.5 metre rock chip 150’ level 37.9 739 5201950015 2 metre rock chip 150’ level 12.35 636 5201950016 1.5 metre rock chip 150’ level 5.66 257 5201950017 2 metre rock chip 150’ level 0.10 370 5201950018 1 metre rock chip 150’ level 2.45 752 5201950019 1 metre rock chip 150’ level 11.65 356 5201950020 1 metre rock chip 180’ level 6.82 142 5201950021 2 metre rock chip 180’ level 7.79 351 Level maps with sample locations can be found on the Goldcliff website at http://www.goldcliff.com/projects/nevada-rand/nevada-rand-shaft/.
